Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Bachelor party boys go to celebrate and they went to a lousy strip club. Then, there is a mystery guy who approaches and recommends a better place (So wwhy he is doing here in the firstb place?)
Then , they go to the brothel and bum!
Whores, whores, whores, and more whores.
The dialogues are fulled with sex crap and the acting is even worse, so amateurish.
The production is A-OK, but the cast is awful.I get really bored.

From director Gregg Bishop comes the 2016 creature feature SiREN; the story of a bachelor party that turns into a fight for survival when the groom accidentally releases a dangerous predator. I found this by chance when I was browsing for a film to watch late one night, and decided to give it a try. I knew that likely, it would be a bad film, with nothing much to hold it, and I wasn't expecting much from it; maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much.I found this film to be quite unique, even though it was based off of V/H/S and another piece of media, Amateur Nightt. The story itself – the groom releases a siren after being totally bewitched by her, and murder, gore and a fight for survival follows. The only thing that did rather annoy me about this film was that, it took a while to start up. It was very slow to begin, and that really put me in a bit of a bad mood with it. It took me a while to get into it when it did eventually start up, but I was grateful I was rather bored with it. It made the beginning of the story line and the action much more exciting.The acting in this was really well done, and all actors and actresses deserve to be recognised for their work in this film. They obviously worked hard for it and it more than definitely paid off; the acting in this, for a creature feature, is absolutely spectacular.The special effects, as a make up artist myself, I have to mention. They were shockingly good. They were very realistic, they looked like the siren herself was something you could come across in the street when walking at night, and isn't that the goal of special effects? Unfortunately, of course, there was the insane blood splatter that just isn't realistic at all, for the gore factor shock horror, and that was a real disappointment, after the film was just so strong in everything else.In summary – the acting and special affects are A*, the story line could have done better and is about a B-, and the overall experience was amazing, ranking about an A-

Is there one horror buff out there that hasn't seen the much acclaimed V/H/S/ franchise. Well if so you do know that there were some weird and gory tales to see. "Amatuer Nigh" was on the first part and let this full feature being an adaption of it.When I did see the siren it immediately reminded me of Splice (2009). Did I like Siren, well, somehow it did remind me of the VHS segment but it didn't feed my hunger. There isn't that much of gore in it. Let me even say that there isn't that much of horror in it or even scary moments. What it did deliver was a lot of nudity at strip bars but after a while I thought, let's bring in the horror. So many reviewers did like it somehow but for me it was rather weak. It do has a few good moments but face it, the hitting of ones knee to break it is done off-camera. And the biting of the siren in faces is also done off-camera. Siren looks to me as a flick made quickly to cash in on the VHS reputation. Gore 0/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

'SIREN': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five) A feature adaptation of a short film segment (called 'AMATEUR NIGHT') from the 2012 anthology horror flick 'V/H/S'. It was directed by Gregg Bishop, who also directed a short segment of the 2014 sequel 'V/H/S VIRAL' (called 'DANTE THE GREAT'). The film was scripted by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski (based on the short by David Bruckner and Nicholas Tecosky). It stars Chase Williamson (of 'JOHN DIES AT THE END' fame), Hannah Fierman (who also starred in the original short), Justin Welborn, Hayes Mercure, Michael Aaron Milligan and Randy McDowell. It tells the story of a group of guys out for a bachelor party, which goes horrifically wrong when one of them unleashes a man killing monster. The film is a lot of fun, and it's definitely in the same league as 'V/H/S' and it's sequels. Jonah (Williamson) is about to be married to his beautiful fiancé Eva (Lindsey Garrett). His brother (Milligan), and his two best friends (Mercure and McDowell), take him out for a good time before the big event. The strip clubs they go to are boring though, so they decide to check out a lesser known club; that another customer tells them about. Once there they realize the place is a lot different than anywhere else they've ever been to. When Jonah meets one of the girls, supposedly working there, he decides she needs his help and tries to rescue her. This turns out to be a deadly mistake. The movie has a great premise (taken from 'AMATEUR NIGHT' of course); it's well made and effectively creepy also. I think Bishop did a fantastic job stretching the short into a feature length film, and the cast is equally as impressive. Especially Williamson and Fierman in the leads, but Welborn makes a great bad guy too. There's even some touching romance to the story, in a very bizarre and creepy way, with a great horrific twist at the end. I really like this movie.
