Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Michael Ledo Three guys decide to get their way with a stripper. Things go bad and they get invited to dinner. This is a variation of the normal looking family cannibal theme. "Parents," "Blood Diner," "Hansel & Gretel,""Motel Hell," "Eating Raoul," "Flesh Eating Mothers," "Microwave Massacre," "Fresh Meat" "Delta Delta Die, " and "Cannibal Hookers" were superior films in the normal looking cannibal genre.The acting was okay considering the theme. The characters were not that great. The plot moved remarkably slow. Four strippers and no real nudity outside of butts and side breast. That amounts to false advertising. Even in the strip club they had their clothes on.Guide: F-word. Sex. Nudity?
Charlie Kersey "Ladies of the House" is an intelligent and insightful film with even some touching moments that upends the "grindhouse" and "slash horror" genres completely and logically in a way that hasn't been done before. It's also about family, in a way, and how, especially in today's fast-paced society, we make our own family. The characters are wonderfully deep and developed and excellently portrayed. Writers Justina Walford and John Wildman craft a believable and intriguing story and Director Wildman does an excellent job bringing it to life on camera. Kudos to the cast and crew for a well-done buffet of lovingly crafted genre delight!! ** Full Disclosure: I backed this film when it was in its formative stages via crowdfunding.
Ryan Grant Long Disclosure: I realized AFTER I watched the movie that I am acquainted with one of its writers via mutual friends on social media. But since it was afterward it didn't affect my viewing of it. I had immediately said it was great and recommended it to others prior to realizing.I loved it, and I'd place it somewhat in the same vein as great feminist horror movies I've enjoyed like Teeth or Ginger Snaps. This isn't that silly Tumblr style of modern feminism mind you, but a genuine and smart exploration of gender roles and, in some respects, a powerful female revenge fantasy (although truthfully none of the characters come off like great people, which is part of the dark appeal). But since it's grindhouse style of course, the main idea is gruesome sexy fun, you won't be beaten over the head with any ham-handed social commentary.Great acting, special effects, drama, humor, and eroticism. I say it's funny, but it isn't overt comedy; it's more funny in the way the NBC Hannibal series is funny. Very dark and sharp humor, if you're sick like me you'll probably laugh.Watch it on Hulu if you're into this genre, you won't have a bad time!
arfdawg-1 The Plot.THE LADIES OF THE HOUSE follows the events surrounding a birthday outing with two brothers and a friend which turns into a horrific fight for survival after they become trapped in a house with a "family" of malevolent women who enjoy a pin-up lifestyle and a special diet. Firstly,there were only two reviews when I wrote THIS review. One of them gives the movie 10 stars AND it's the dude's ONLY review which clearly mean he worked on the film.So right away, I thought this was going to suck.It is very cheaply made and sort of reminds me of some of those horror films like Frankenhooker -- not plot wise, but the way it looks and the way it's directed. Although some of the direction is disjointed.And the pacing is often slow. A bunch of gore and no nudity! What????The storyline is really dumb. And soon the movie becomes tedious. Nothing allows you to suspend disbelief. THis movie could have been so much better in the hands of a different director and writer.It could have been really cool and a cult classic.Unfortunately It turns out to be a dud
