ThiefHott Too much of everything
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
horrorcinemas I watched the DVD of the Stitcher recently. The main reason being I live in Tulsa and the movie was made in Tulsa. Darla Enlow writes, directs acts, etc. and involved in every aspect of the film. As an independent horror film I enjoyed it very much! I don't want to give any spoilers. But the film has horror, comedy, partying and a some eye candy. What else can you ask for? Just kidding! From watching the bloopers, the cast had lots of fun making the movie as well! I recommend this film to anyone who loves horror movies and Loves having fun and doesn't take movies as seriously as Siskel and Ebert! Oh, I forgot to mention this movie also has GREAT MUSIC!
cyclone259 It's easy to criticize as a casual viewer a project which to the participants was very important. There were flaws too numerous to mention, acting as wooden as an oak dinette set and effects worse than those found in the Turkish version of Star Wars.That being said, it isn't as horrible as some movies I've seen when taken into perspective, nor was it 'above the fray' either. Ironically some given a huge budget and A-list stars spew out puerile, lackluster donkey droppings and try to coat it with a golden sheen (or Charlie Sheen, which is worse) for mass consumption.I was vastly disappointed after watching it, but who knows what I was expecting. It seems every movie I watch that you can tell was shot on video has sucked worse than a Hoover with a V-8.What pushed it up (1) star was the bloopers. Why? I could tell they had fun doing it and that's what matters most to me anyway. I don't think they were out to make a billion dollar epic. I've always had a dream to make a low budget horror film and like it or not, The Stitcher is probably better than anything I could do.I would like to point out that most of the acting was sub par, the lead male did pretty well all things considered. There were even moments when I was startled, but then realized I'd fallen asleep but woke up and 'The Stitcher' was still on.I won't waste time on the sordid details, lets just leave that to the DVD box art.
venom1106 THE STITCHER! Bringing a "NEW" twist to classic slasher films.....You would have to be a complete idiot. To not see the potential in this horror films character the Stitcher. Although, amongst horror movie fans it is hard to compare him to greats such as Micheal Myers, Jason, Freddie, or GhostFace. Yet, this character has the same right to co-exist within the same realms of fear.I have been a religious fan of horror films my entire life from watching my first, The Demon, in classic black and white, to the most recent shockers completed by Rob Zombie. Although, the Stitcher is an independent film. Darla Enlow armed with her production company NeXt Monkey Films, VCI Entertainment, the Well Selected Actors, and the amazing Musicians on the films soundtrack. Has compiled and resurrected the definition of a potential classic character and slasher film. Bringing elements of fear and real life to this film. While casting actors, that truly brought to the stage a keen sense of getting its viewers drawn to the story.The true design or foundation of any horror film requires the careful balancing of fear. Which Darla, has successfully done. Bringing to life films. Which are seen by the mainstream world as untraditional, yet truly admired from the independent realm for the priceless accumulation of blood and gore. She is a true scientist of horror, who truly paints outside the lines of Terror. Of what Hollywood would consider too terrible for the public to view. Yet, brings true fear and leaves you wondering, if there is any truth to this story. Did you just witness a victims first hand account.I had the pleasure of viewing the film. Before, the conventions and seeing firsthand the true blood sweat and tears Darla & Dana put into this film. Most current critics would base this film off of what they think they know in horror films. Most regular mainstream viewers would shrug their shoulders. Yet, as I sat on the steps within the theater room watching this film. I also took the time to see a packed theater room for a pre-screening. Full of all walks of life. Dazed and wondering. How in the world did two women from Oklahoma. Commit to a goal and bring to life a monster that could very well live next door. That could also exhibit the corruption in most small towns. Then successfully wrap it all up with a twist. That left hundreds talking that night about the fear and looking over their shoulders as they walked to their cars. In my opinion which only matters to me in the end. That was an amazing night of true horror! I give this film a 9 for the effort and classic rendition of a slasher. Most would say, "That is OverKill!". I give this film, that rating, because until we can literally jump into hell's dimension and film that! No one deserves a 10. But, I know these two women gave their all. They also helped me complete a goal by hosting my single, "Nokturnal" and giving my record label a firm foundation to walk on. I also saw first hand how the NeXt Monkey Films Cast and Crew sacrificed time, effort, and money into a dream. They are all a family who fight like all families to leave this world with a story and legend. I honestly feel they have done so, and done so with true Love. Passion within the realms of creation. That no one could truly understand without struggle and desiring to bring entertainment.So watch this film and bear witness to a film full of deadication and true horror......until the sequel. Goodnight! Be sure to lock your doors! Never wear buttons, because, the Stitcher just may be lurking in the shadows of your neighborhood.HF of Murder Morgue Records llc. www.MurderMorgue.com
ourcathouse I am a great supporter of independent films in general, and horror films in particular, so it pains me to have to say some of the things I am about to say. While this movie as a whole has a pretty amateurish quality about it, no story or plot to speak of, and is basically a bunch of people you have no sympathy for moving through a series of set pieces with "creepy" local characters, there are a few noteworthy performances from a cast of unknown but plucky actors. Obviously working with limited resources, stilted dialogue, no budget, and no direction, these performers still manage to breathe enough life into this otherwise comatose film to at least keep serious fans of the genre from popping it out of the DVD player and moving on to something with a plot, engaging characters, or good special effects. (Or at least just some skin....) What kind of slasher flick has no sex or even make-out scenes whatsoever??? Why are these people being stalked and killed if they haven't violated the "Rules of Slasher Movies", as set down in "Scream" and "Scary Movie"? It seems a bit insulting to the horror fan that the director seems to think that the movie needs to "dumb down" in order for the audience to "get it". Boob shots and annoying, drawn-out drug jokes seem to be the order of the day, and the director let the stoner guy (who was obviously NOT stoned on weed throughout the movie, but was on something else entirely) chew the scenery until there was nothing left that had anything to do with this movie. Judging by the DVD cover, and pretty much the movie itself, the director/producer/distributor seemed to wish they could ignore the leads in the movie in favor of anyone who farted, had a bad accent, or boobs - or, god forbid, all three. I thought the woman who played the female lead, Brittany, was far and away the most natural and likable of any of the characters, despite her lack of decent dialogue, character development, and being forced to have almost all of her scenes with the incredibly wooden male lead, Nick, and managed to make you root for her and find her sexy despite being directed to scream and whine throughout the movie. And after seeing her in the red bikini, I really hoped to get to see more of her. Also notable was the actress who played Michelle, who managed to have a real character and made you feel something about her, even though she is not in most of the movie. And Homeless Loretta was mildly amusing, although in no way threatening or scary. Who says you have to be a blond with big boobs to get the guys' attention??? As for the guys in the movie, the only one I found even half-way engaging was Kurt, who, again, isn't in very much of the movie. But at least his scenes were with Michelle, which no doubt helped him out. And the gardener, Leroy, who did a good job but wasn't used effectively. Honorable mentions go to Deputy Cedar and the cute blond who played Tamara, both of whom had some nice moments. To sum up: totally non-scary, not sexy (the hot tub scene even ends up with the "hot chick" throwing up!!!), a killer who looks like he just came from the elementary school Halloween Carnival, and a stilted, not scary, and not nearly as funny as it thinks it is script written by the director.
