AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Bergorks 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.
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
GL84 Stuck in a high school detention class during a torrential rain-storm, a group of friends find themselves subjected to a series of ghostly visits and incidents in an attempt to seek retribution for a past incident involving their parents and try to get out before they're all killed off.This one turned out to be a pretty nice haunted-school style ghost film. What works best here is that it's filled with a ton of clichés but never really manages to make them noticeable until pretty late in the film. That the school location is actually pretty creepy and manages to hold a place of suspense is a bright spot here, as it comes off as a perfect spot for ghostly activity and makes for some good times with it stalking the group throughout the grounds. There are some problems, though, in that the reason for possession in most cases goes unexplained when a twist late in the film makes it totally worthless as well as taking way too long in it's set-ups when they tease something only to not deliver as well as not come through on the kill, making some scenes seem to last forever yet the film is really quite brief. Overall, though, it's really not that bad.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.
chefy68 While I dig the craptastic horror genre for being entertaining, this movie does nothing. It makes no sense, has horrible special effects, terrible acting, crappy wardrobe, and some of the worst editing I have ever seen.The first scene showing the nerd being flamed in an incinerator was just plain bad, and the effects never get better. From the fake lightning to the lighting from nowhere when there is no power in the school screams crap.Editing... quite early on the scene in the basement with the 2 maintenance guys, over the scene, the old guy puts on his gloves like 3 times during the conversation. Things like this occur all the way to the end when the last survivors are outside after a nights total downpour and the ground is totally dry.David Carradine's coat he wears fits him like something a homeless man would wear because it's all he could find in a garbage can, and I won't go into his hair.The story itself makes no sense, and jumps from theory to theory with nothing tying anything to anything.Bottom line, I like bad movies at times. This one was the worst thing I have seen, a complete waste of time. How they had a 2M budget is beyond me. Must have gone towards blow and hookers for the guy who made it... Sad piece of wasted film.
Rodolphe Fleury I watched this really crap film cos I thought I was watching Detention (2011), quickly I realized it was another film and I carry on watching cos I like bad movies and I wanted to know how worse it could get and how it ended). I should have fall asleep or listen to chalk on a blackboard instead.I mean like Z and B movies, I like bad movies (like the prom ball zombie film), I like trashy films, I like John Waters, Twilight, even Batman and Robin, but this is not even good bad, it's just a waste of time, the special effects are terrible, the acting is not bad enough to be funny. It's neither scary or gory, there's some action and screaming that's it.David Carradine does not have any purpose here, the story is confusing only because it does not make any sense (badly constructed plot: there's a ghost but the mum is also killing, there's a psychopath but is he really being manipulated by the ghost of Gabriel?), the characters are badly written (the psychopath, wtf), you can believe a second in the character of Gabriel's mother. This is a completely waste of time, I'd rather watch Undefeatable a trillion time than go through Detention again.
BakuryuuTyranno This particular movie has pretty much every cliché you could expect from a supernatural slasher, but somehow it works. The generic hero, his girlfriend, his quirky friend, the goth, the jock, the cheerleader type, and a nerd get detention for various reasons. Not surprisingly, they find themselves locked in.Not surprisingly, there turns out to be the ghost of a nerd killed in a furnace years ago comes back seeking revenge. It happens that they're all connected through past events.While terribly clichéd, the movie seems pretty spooky in a Halloween spookhouse kinda way. I know I'm making it sound boring, but somehow it works. Maybe the thunderstorms help the atmosphere. I don't know. But I was enjoying it considerably more than i probably should have!
