Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Five kids and Grace eat mushrooms and "Hot Tamale" candy and hallucinate. In one scene a person is dead, the next they are not. It is our job to figure out what is going on, what is real and what is a hallucination, and what is the chronological order of the scene in relation to the other scenes.While attempting to figure things out, similar things happen such as the appearance of a goat and pizza melting faces in the mirror as well as zombies. I really don't see the appeal of this production unless you're sitting in the dorm at Christmas time with a few 'shrooms trying to kill some time with some brain dead individuals.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Horror is a strange mix. For a film that is supposed to get under your skin psychologically, Horror feels somewhat empty. The film does a really good job of providing atmosphere but seems to lack in just about every other area. The make up was especially disappointing in some areas, looking really fake, particularly in a scene where the main character and company get drugged up in a van. The hallucinatory images here could have been effective if they didn't look so fake and cheesy. The performances are decent, nothing especially stand out with the exception of perhaps The Amazing Kreskin. He succeeds in bringing a touch of much needed spookiness. Danny Lopez as the lead seems to do what he can with the material at hand, but at times seems too confused for his own good. Felissa Rose as the art teacher thankfully has a small turn in which she mixes overacting with a lack of confidence. Most likely a trait she acquired from years of performing dinner theater to unsatisfied patrons. Knowing she will be carrying a lead role in Tomaselli's next outing is a scary thought in itself. Tomaselli does earn points for molding some effective atmosphere and a few scenes toward the finale are lensed particularly well. Ultimately I can't help but feeling that there was much more that could have been done with this.

I was glad to get a hold of the DVD of this movie and now own it. Although the dialogues in this film are very thin nevertheless the story was solid and it's very much like an experimental Stephen King type film. The stories take place at different times when some youngsters escape from a rehab and their guilt kills them all. Interesting seeing the Amazing Kreskin in his first acting role and a nice performance by Christie Sanford as the crazy Mrs. Salo who very much resembles a cross between Linda Blair and Karen Black. Oh and of course a great and effective cameo by Miss Felissa Rose as the Art Therapist and it was one of the most effective roles she had throughout the film and I couldn't see anyone else playing her role and it goes to show that no matter how small the role is you can easily leave an impression in the film and Rose received alot of exposure for her character.

Starring the Amazing Kreskin and a whole bunch of 20-something headbangers that I've never heard of before, this discombobulated mess was recommended to me by a friend. After seeing this nonsense, I'm not so sure I want to be friends with her anymore. (laughs)Is it trying to be arty or is it in serious need of editing ?? Gawd only knows... They either had:a.) a moron for an editor or...b.) no editor at allIt's just a bunch of scenes strung together with little or no coherence or planning, without even taking the viewing audience into account. In fact, it looks like an amateur film disguised as a professional film, disguised as an amateur film. (laughing) Thank Christ, it's only 75 minutes long.If I was a film school teacher, I'd give it a F for being incomplete, but since I'm only one of many lowly reviewers around here, I'll give it a 1 out of 10 for being incomplete.
