Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
xkazx89 1/10 Bought this from my local Cash Generator for 50p and never turn down a bargain. Within the 1st few seconds I could tell that this movie wasn't going to be great due to the poor acting. The blood and guts you see from the 1st on screen (pre credits) death is clearly just some sort of material. I mean why couldn't animal guts be used to make it look a bit more realistic? The sound man on this film did a really poor job its hard to hear any of the actors furthest away from the microphone. Why was there a disabled person in the mens toilet when there was clearly a toilet marked for disabled people? Normal toilets never have their own disabled toilet when there's a separate one! Now mash potato looking sick? No sick I've ever seen looks like that. All of these problems are less than 20 minutes in. There's footage of a highway and then suddenly there on a road through the woods? What was the point of the random stock footage of the highway exactly? I'm confused as to the age these people are meant to be as they look in there late 20s to early 30s but I'm guessing they are meant to be teens. I also don't get why in films people happily have sex with their friends about but would anyone actually do that? I highly doubt it. When the ginger guy is peeing why is there a close up of it? I mean it's an awful fake everything! Why does no one hear anyone screaming they haven't gone that far and would still hear it! The fat guy was running away from his girlfriend yet end up running back towards her without turning round? How that works I have no idea! The girl with the red streak in her hair has to be the worst actor as her screaming is awful and just her acting in general is bad. Also how would a car shred the geeky guy to bits? Its not that powerful! The deaths of the blind people on the bus are just stupid. These people are blind not dumb I'm sure they would recognise something bad was happening and try to run not just sit there Wouldn't recommend this film to anyone its full of flaws and is just awful.
in_my_tree33 I never write reviews but seeing as people connected to the film and the god awful company that made it 101 seem to be writing reviews saying its a classic i thought i better. I am a massive lover of horror films from Bad Taste to Nightmare on Elm street Halloween to The Burning. I don't care if the acting isn't world class in a horror don't mind to much if the story is rubbish its all about the atmosphere the scares the bad guy etc etc. This film is tragic the guy trying to cop a feel and the way that whole scene plays out is retarded its like a PG movie 'oooh i wanna touch your tits' 'no don't touch me' on and on bla bla bla. filmed in the style and with the budget of a porn i put the DVD straight in the bin after i watched it (no joke) If you wanna watch a good low budget horror there is loads. Bad Taste Halloween etc etc these films prove you don't need a big budget to make a film work. In conclusion there is no reason in the world to watch this film if it was a matter of life and death id happily get my coat and say my goodbyes. Hope this saves you some trouble Laterzzzzz
celticogam I have read other reviews for this Title and i shall now totally ignore them!Given the obvious small budget this movie has a nice feel and some genuine scares! The direction is solid, and the cast (Though unknown) Does a bang up job. The effects team shows a lot of promise, and I would like to view future releases from this crew! Overall! A very enjoyable movie with plenty to please the gore hounds among you. So give this a go, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.It's great to see the smaller, Independent Film makers out there getting a bigger forum for their work!
gamskee I was told by the creators of the film that they had packed as much sex, gore, and disgusting depravity into a film that they could- in other words, a truly overloaded slasher flick of the most base and disgusting level, something I could get behind.When the lights went down and the film came on, whisper quiet audio and mumbled poorly delivered lines were drown out by the raucous laughter of those who had (obviously) created the film. After a long and awkward atypical guy tries to get some action car scene, he gets out of the car only to be... thrown in a trunk? After being thrown into said trunk, his girl is murdered in perfect darkness, an effective device if the audio and acting support it- which they totally didn't. The flat and ineffectual screams and whining from cast kept any of it from really having effect. The guy gets out of the trunk and is run down by rubber mask Sloth from the Goonies, has his guts torn out, and we go to the best scene of the movie.Sloth, AKA the Goat Man, takes a saw to some limbs in some dark building as rock music plays and a swinging light causes his shadow to loom on the wall. It looks cool. If the whole film looked this way, it would've been a slick and stylish low budget piece.The film quickly goes nowhere as we get some cars filled with more mumbling, not funny, young people who we'll eventually see get murdered. Still can't hear the jokes as they are laughed over by the crew.The plot meandered along, still barely audible, acting no better, and we hear about the goat man and see some guts outside a park ground bathroom just sort of hanging out. We half hear the legend of the goat man, and for some reason, there is a guy eating poop in the bathroom- gross, but sort of random. There was a car breakdown and then...I don't know, I got up and left the theatre. As a low budget film, there is a lot that can be forgiven, but you can't forgive everything. Poor writing, directing, acting, audio, and film quality makes for an all points bulletin of unwatchable. If the jokes had been funny, pass, if the gore over the top, pass, if the sex crammed in, pass, but it had none of these elements.On the plus side, I give credit for attempt at a full length feature. However, when I see the starting sequence of the sawing madman, I can only think that if they pulled off that much visual menace in the beginning, it shows they could have done more with the rest of the film. Over all, if you promise depravity, sex, and gore packed to the gills, you better deliver within the first half hour of the film.
