Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
SpannersGerm669 Knowing nothing about this movie, i went into it with little to no expectations. The premise seemed interesting but as is the case with most independent horror films, i thought the production values would be low. I can say that this one was a very pleasant surprise! Yes, the movie has its silly moments, but what horror film doesn't? You have to make allowances for stupidity in a horror movie, and if you are prepared to do that here, then you are in for an entertaining ride! The storyline is very mysterious and captivating and gives a slightly unique Zombie approach with some emotion, not to mention the brutality will leave gore hounds rejoicing.With many bad low budget horror films going around, Perkins 14 is definitely a movie that will revive hope in a very disappointing world of horror!
movieman_kev What starts as a very interesting premise, dealing with a pharmacist and the kids he's brainwashed into mindless killing machines, is hamstrung by terrible execution and shoddy acting. At the beginning I was intrigued but as the movie wore on I found my Interests waning exponentially, hoping that the film would just end already. When the end finally came it didn't even cause me a sigh of relief that the whole awful movie was over, but rather more mad that I ever watched it in the first place. The ending, be that as it may, was simply atrocious. Yeah who would've thought there would be an awful '8 films to die for' movie? (that's sarcasm by the way )
nathan-yeo Start off with this, is a grade "D" horror-movie not a Merchant Ivory production of "WINDSWEPT MANOR". So you leave this film be ya-hear it ain't hurting nobody. Start off with the movie jumps around a bit and when it lands you have the dysfunctional Sheriff still grieving the loss of his son and hitting on his daughters friends. His boyz arrest a creepy guy who tries to talk his way out of jail. A further investigation leads him to believe this guy is responsible for the disappearance of his son and other kids. A deputy is sent to do an illegal search of the suspects residence. he releases the now grown son who starts infecting everyone with the crazies. The father kills the creep before he can tell them whats going on. the father won't let anyone kill his son which would've nipped this in the bud. It all culminates in a deadly stand off inside the local cop-shop.
dschmeding First off... along with Autopsy this is one of the of the 8 films to die for which I could sit through without falling asleep. Perkins'14 starts off very calm revolving around a cop who had his son abducted along with 13 other kids 10 years ago and can't let go. There is a lot of strange flashbacks inter-cut with the actual events where suddenly someone arrives at the police station who he considers to be the Abductor of the children ...from here it turns into mind-games between him and that guy named Perkins and by the title you can already guess that Mr. Cop is right about him. When a colleague searches Perkins house he finds a cellar with cages and his sudden death by one of the raging kids who were turned into blood lusting maniacs by 10 years of PCP-therapy. Now they are out in the streets on a rampage and we are up to a happy family re-union between the cop and his son ... or are we not??What starts out slow and confusing (later you learn that its not confusing but pretty random) turns into a zombie-like movie with some pretty decent gore elements. The violence is depicted pretty raw and bloody and those kids are more a mix of instinct driven animals and zombies than anything else. They attack like the "28 days later" zombies, jump and run around, crawl air ducts, snap necks and disembowel with their bare hands. Thats nice, the visuals also carry it with some decent atmosphere. Problem is that the whole plot makes pretty little sense as of why Mr. Perkins engineers blood lusting zombie-kids on PCP and how they track down their kin and I really wonder how such obviously instinct driven creatures suddenly know how to use keys, shoot rifles etc. The whole ending is pretty idiotic and the movie should have rather focused on a logic plot and characters not acting like idiots (like a cop entering zombie infested crime scenes without a gun or his wife jingling key-chains like a crazy kid) instead of the massive bloodshed and bleak finale. Perkins'14 has really a lot going for it but smashes my hopes with a plot full of holes and dozens of ridiculous horror clichés.
