when i order this from blockbuster website i have no idea that it would be as terrible a it be . who know . maybe i would forget to take my add med that day . i do know that from the moment the cast drive up in their station wagon and don in their late 70 style wide collar and bell bottom and feather hair and i know that this misplace gem of the disco era be glory bound for the dumpster . the first foretelling of just how bad thing be to be be the narration at the beginning and try to explain what cosmic force be at play to wreak havoc upon the universe and forcing polyester and porno quality music on the would be viewer . from the opening scene with the poorly do effect to the monster from another world and then the house which jump from universe to universe be a achingly painful a watch an elementary school production of the vagina monologue . throughout the film and the sure sign something be about to happen be when a small ship would appear . the ship be comprise suspiciously of what look like old vcr and camcorder part and would attack anyone in it path . of course if move slow than bob barker impact bowel and but it have menace pencil thin armature and the ability to cast a ominous green glow that could stop bullet and equip with a laser capable of cut through mere balsa wood in an hour or two ( with some assistance ) . move on . a the weirdness and bell bottom continue . we find out that theyre catch in a space time warp . how do we garner this little nugget of scientific information . because the old male lead tell his son that and in a more or less off the cuff fashion and like reminisce about how you win the big game over a cup of joe or an ice cold bottle of refresh coca cola . be pop a scientist . nope and but he know about horse and have apparently meddle a an amateur in string theory and einstein theory . the recording i watch on dvd be almost bootleg quality . the sound be muddy and the transfer look like it have be shoot off a theater screen with the video recorder on a cell phone and other than that and it be really and really and really bad . ( there not enough really to describe it and really ) . i know some out there love this movie and compare it to other cult classic . i never saw this film on it original release and but even back then i think i would have come to the same conclusion represent bury this one quick . | 0neg |
i cheer for film that fill in subject matter gap in world cinema . so after watch the trailer for water lily and i expect to like this film because i think i would stumble on something unique represent a movie that honestly portray teen lesbian love sort of a female version of beautiful thing . the main character be young french woman 15 year old . marie be slender and reticent and pretty in a tomboyish way while floriane be outgo and athletic and beautiful while and anne be loyal and pudgy and behaviorally immature . the erotic interrelationship between marie and floriane be always simmer in this movie and if not at the surface and then just below it . water lily and however and be not about the dawning of lesbian love upon two teen while it be about sexual frustration and suffering and ennui and teen work at cross purpose and in at least two instance joyless and mechanical sex . it also prove that screenwriter and film maker mar their own creation when they become too manipulative . in the extra feature on the lord of the fly dvd and director peter brook say and french cynicism start with the arousal of sex and mean the french regard child a angel while they regard adolescent and adult with a pervasive cynicism . part of the downfall of this film be film maker celine sciamma have gulp a mighty dose of this cynicism . where be the joy . i ask myself while watch this film . yes and first love can be painful and frustrating and but it can also be joyful and triumphantly erotic in a fresh and life affirm way . these positive aspect be miss from this movie while there be no balance . organically and this movie want to be a poignant celebration of first love . but sciamma be too impressed with her own cynicism and cleverness and ruin the film . first and what be the point of show only the plump girl nude . i know there be an established tradition of tasteful teen nudity in european cinema and a evidence by film like the slingshot while the rascal while the devil and probably while the little thief while murmur of the heart while friend while beau pere and europa and europa while but this instance be a petty authorial intrusion see and audience and i can make a film where i show only the unattractive person nude . either no nudity or evenly distributed nudity would have be an honest way to go . there be a scene in a club where floriane and marie be dance . what follow next be not just floriane cynically manipulate marie while it be film maker sciamma cynically manipulate her audience . perhaps the big betrayal of authenticity and organic honesty take place when floriane warn marie she about to request something that be not normal . marie understandably asks and who care about be normal . then sciamma play false with her audience and the hurtle momentum of the movie and because floriane request be a phony and derivative and substitute question not the authentic and heartfelt question the movie and marie character and the viewer who have invest their time deserve . here be also two moment which clank falsely on the viewer nerve represent 1 ) since when do the french of all people take bath wear bath suit and and with a turtle to boot . 2 ) what teen of any nationality would chomp down on an apple core that be throw in the garbage in order to get a taste of the beloved mouth . the three main actress be promise and and if they find good vehicle for their talent and may become excellent actor . louise blachere ( anne ) be the best actress in term of technique and could have a successful career in support role . adele haenel ( floriane ) could become a leading lady and or a bombshell and or both . pauline acquart ( marie ) possess an intensity and magnetism which be unmistakable . in the future and she could play everything from an emotionally cripple librarian to a mysteriously sensual seductress to a reluctant politician rid a meteoric rise in acclaim . all in all and water lily be very disappointing . will an honest film maker please make an authentic movie about two young woman fall in love . no not necessarily for the sake of this middle aged guy but so young lesbian girl can have something of quality they can watch and identify with . and yes and to fill a subject matter gap in world cinema . | 0neg |
for anyone crave a remake of 1989 slave of new york . what be there and seven of you . here it be . be . this undercooked movie have studiously vapid character ( well theyre club kid and ya big jerk . ) that be in hold pattern . the big question seem to be and just how long can a young adult remain juvenile . it take three people to write this tory . good god and it be easy to come up with citizen kane . rather than take viewer back and this movie should just embarrass anyone who be a scene ster in the early 90 . the idea that a fifty year old woman envy a bunch of self absorb kid from a different era be the world a only self absorb and twenty somethings could imagine it . the odd sidebar about library work be not the sub plot one expect from the equivalent of parker posey breakin 2 represent electric bugaloo . her i be serious about graduate school . while a stripper grind on her be hysterical . posey shtick be always amusing and but there be project that be beneath her . i be asleep before it cross the 40 minute mark . | 0neg |

for the first couple of season and i think the apprentice be a highly engaging and exciting show . the combination between reality tv and a 16 week job interview be innovative and and the producer of the show manage to keep the show relevant and not too out there . the new season 6 be nothing more than a big joke and it have absolutely nothing to do with business at all . in the early season they use to put a lot more emphasis on the business related task now the focus be mostly in the boardroom where the contestant be expect to do everything to keep them on the show ( that mean lie and trash talk and backstabbing etc . ) . the boardroom can be entertain to watch and but it entertainment at it low point sometimes you wonder if you be watch a repeat of an old jerry springer episode . the task on the show be and at most and boring and mostly a showcase for the company who be dumb enough to pay nbc for the publicity . and what be the deal about half of the contestant live in tent in season 6. that be just plain stupid and have nothing to do with business in real life . i have absolutely no respect for any of the contestant this season and they all seem like idiot to me . in early season at least some of the contestant have a bit of integrity and now it seem like the contestant would kill their own mother to keep them on the show . it also seem like donald trump massive ego become big and big for every season that pas by and to be honest and i can not see why anyone with a common sense would want to work for him . his rationality in the boardroom mostly doesn not make any sense at all and sometimes it seem he just like to trash people for what it worth . r. i. p the apprentice . please nbc and for god sake and get the show off the air as soon a possible . it just too embarrass to watch . the apprentice be once a great tv show and but now it just a big fat joke . | 0neg |
i love the apprentice for the first two season . but now with season 5 . ( or be it 6 . ) thing be get just plain too tire . i use to like the show and but it become donald trump own ego fest . grant it his company you will be work for and but come on . some of the thing say youre fire be just insulting . after watch the show and i would not want to work for him . not because he be arrogant and pompous or such . it just that the show be unrealistic and the way he handle thing make me just squirm . good entertainment . yes and but tire a the back stabbing get so tiring . it not team work and it not personal and it just business . watch your back jack . | 0neg |
i bet you gene simmons and vincent pastore negotiate in advance how many episode they would be willing to appear in . isn not just too contrive for gene to switch to the lady team and then throw himself on his sword . and big pussy . what the hell be that look at me and i be a rat . double episode crap . all that cliché mafia banter come on . the big name vote off just happen to already have receive money for their charity and get a custom tailor exit . hmm . this be not reality but stag drama . mark burnett other show and survivor also raise question for me when johnny fairplay stag his departure when he clearly have just a short time before his child be to be bear . yuk . | 0neg |
i can not stand most reality show and this one be bad than the one with paris hilton and and sure it his company . but youre fire or youre hire and for how many season now . after watch the show i wouldn not want to work for the guy with his ego and all and i think watch paint dry have more entertainment valve . i would love to hear just one person get up and say donald i quit and take some of your money and buy a decent hairdo . i see he even try to buy fame in the wrestling wwe . i hope he get hurt so i do not have to see his pathetic face anymore . it must be sad to want fame so bad and have no talent and make an as of yourself try to buy it . i would give this show a negative mark if i could but it get a 1 and it doesn not deserve that . | 0neg |
one have to wonder if at any point in the production of this film ascript exist that make any sense . be the rough cut 3 hourslong and be it trim into the incoherent mess that survive . why would anyone finance this mess . i will say that tomwlaschiha be a good look young man and he do what he canwith the dialogue and dramatic ( . ) situation he be give . butcharacters come and go for no apparent reason and continuity isnon existent and and the acting and cinematography and and direction be ( toput it politely ) amateurish . not one sleep be an unfortunatechoice of title a it will probably prove untrue should anyoneactually attempt to actually watch this film . | 0neg |
jochen hick write and direct this little thriller of a suspense film base on the concept that the aid virus be a sheep virus mutate by the government to rid the world of gay and be apparently test on convict in the year before the outbreak of the hideous disease . be it not for the poignancy of the concept of the film and this would fall into the category of the many film about the ruination of the world by a rampant non prejudicial infective organism . stefan ( tom wlaschiha ) journey from berlin to san francisco to investigate his father scientific supposition about the induced sheep virus and it effect of the convict in whom it be infuse . he meet with some disdain and resistance to a dead theory and but also encounter some folk who know of the theory and support his investigation . simultaneously with his visit a series of serial murder take place and each victim kill in a similar manner and each murder apparently accompany by strain of music from puccini opera turandot which just happen to be open at the san francisco opera . a police investigator louise tolliver ( irit levi ) and her companion cop ( kalene parker ) follow the murder while stefan make the round of the sex club and bar in san francisco try to locate men who may have be guinea pig for his father theory . he encounter a strange lad jeffrey ( jim thalman ) with whom he have a cat and mouse attraction and a prominent doctor burroughs ( richard conti ) who seem oddly involve in the cast of suspect . how this all come to an end be the play of the film and a story a much about the search for self identity between stefan and jeffery a it be a case for investigation of murder . while tom wlaschiha and jim thalman and richard conti do well with their role ( they be the only three who have any prior acting experience in the film . ) and the quality of the film sag considerably by the less than acceptable minimally talented irit levy and kaylene parker represent when on screen the credibility of the story drop below zero . there be some small cameo by other actor that brighten the screen for the moment they inhabit and but in all the film be drown by the incessant replay of nessun dorma a sung by mario del monaco from a recording o the opera and that seem to be the reason for make the film . good idea for a film and some good characterization by the actor and but there be no resolution of the initial premise that start the whole thing . grady harp and february 06 . | 0neg |
poorly write conspiracy drama or mystery about the possibility that aid be introduce to the public by the government . wlaschiha play a gay researcher look for answer that within this foggy plot would be hard for anyone to find . despite the cinematography itself be commendable and the camera hunger for character of true depth instead of the shallow and amateur act it unfortunately have to convey . grade represent d plus . | 0neg |
i do not give much credence to aid conspiracy theory but it sociologically interesting to see the phenomenon dramatize . in the early year of the aid epidemic and the suffering and paranoia of the scared and die often generate such dark fantasy . this be especially true in the politically radical and sexually extreme demi monde of san francisco . the city and renowned for it beauty and have rarely appear ugly than in this film . a sense of darkness and decomposition pervades every scene . while the acting and plot can not be say to be well do the film unique cultural context and oppressively dark mood at least partly save the film from be a complete loss . actually and i find the most interesting performance to be irit levi a a crusty and cynical jewish and lesbian ( . ) police detective . she interesting and though not necessarily convince . highlight represent the film use of the garishly tragic turandot be an effective motif and there be a sublime silent cameo by iconic performance artist and ron athey . | 0neg |
the cliché of the shell shock soldier home from the war be here give dull treatment . pity a splendid cast and act to the limit of their high talent and can not redeem the return of the soldier from it stiff collar inability to move the viewer to emotional involvement . best moment and a another reviewer note and come when glenda jackson be on screen while but even jackson crackle good cinematic power can not pull this film chestnuts from it cold and never warm hearth . ann margret and she of sex kitten repute and too often accuse of lack act ability and find her actual and rather profound ability waste here despite her speaking with a nigh flawless middlesex accent . the hackneyed score and redolent of many lackluster tv miniseries slather on saccharine emotionalism and be at irritate odds with the emotional remoteness of the script and blocking and and overbaked formalism of the direction while except for it score and corset script and direction and the return of the soldier have all the right bit but it fail to make them work together . | 0neg |
the good earth be perhaps the most boring film i have see in my life . the plot be slow and lack . the acting be borderline comical . while i love paul muni and i can now say i have see a film that do not do his true ability justice . the only save grace i find with this film be it production value . the use of hundred of extra throughout the film create a very believable and interesting environment . also and the beautiful effect use to create the illusion of million of wasp sell easily and be revolutionary at the time . other than the production value i can say little else that be good or entertain about this film . | 0neg |
the good earth be not a great film by any mean and it be way to ordinary . maybe it be different in the 1930 but who would want to see the life of a farmer . it be not very interest to me . yes and luis rainer and paul muni do an excellent job act but the film drag on way too long . i could have tell you the end of this movie by the first act . in short wang lung ( muni ) a small time farmer who do not want to be like his own father turn out exactly like him . both fall in love with their wife just a they be on their death bed . the film do a complete 360 go from one generation to the next . also this film do not have any good character actor or funny moment and it just be depress stuff about last a a farmer during a time of crisis . | 0neg |
a couple of farmer struggle in life in a small village in china . wang lung ( paul muni ) buy o lan and his future wife and who become his slave ( luis rainer ) . american star appear in the leading role and talk with fake accent and emphasize old stereotype and patriarchal ideology . a good wife and many child and land be the best thing for men to have . they be see a property and investment . because it be a big budget movie and in which many extra cooperate and big set be build and special effect take place and the movie maker could not take the risk of hire less popular actor . luise rainer win an academy award for this performance and which be definitely the bad in the movie . her immutable face build a barrier between her and the audience . o lan be suppose to be the heart of the family and the best character to sympathize with . on the other hand paul muni give a good performance and show his talent one again . another problem with the movie be the end . it seem like franklin do not know when to end the picture . this film could be dangerous if it be take a a truly example of chinese culture and tradition . | 0neg |
luise rainer receive an oscar for her performance in the good earth . unfortunately and her role require no . she do not say much and look pale throughout the film . luise character be a slave then give away to marriage to paul muni character ( he do a fantastic job for his performance ) . set in ancient asia and both actor be not asian and but be very convince in their role . i hope that paul muni receive an oscar for his performance and because that be what luise must have get her oscar for . she must have be a breakthrough actress and one of the first to method act . this seem like something that hollywood do often . al pacino have play an italian and cuban . i felt luise performance to be lackluster throughout and and when she die and she do not change in expression from any previous scene . she stay the same throughout the film while she only change her expression or emotion maybe twice . if her brilliant acting be so subtle and i suppose i do not see it . | 0neg |
well i be probably about to be lambast by everyone on this site and but the good earth be one of the bad structured film i have see in a long time . we have a 2 and a half hour film that feel like it three and a half because it have two film in one . the first film tell the story of a family that have to move form their home because of drought and famine . they have to travel south to the city to find food or work of some kind . conveniently they happen to find a bag of jewel and at the same time they find out that the drought have end . yeah ok. with this knowledge they return home with their rich and everything be fine and wonderful again . well that take about an hour and a half of film and while it incredibly lifeless at this point it do have a nice arc to it . you would think this would be a fantastic place to end the film . however and the film then continue on for a whole other hour . and in this remaining time and it take a simple story about a family deal with the hardship of the world and turn it into a sappy melodrama about betrayal and jealousy between lover . oh yea and the age old and money be the root of all evil blah blah blah . just because you know your make an epic film doesn not mean that your story can go on needlessly for more than it have to . also the main idea i would gather about this film be that the earth be good to this family and hold them together . then why do we spend an hour tell a story about a rich man fall in love with another woman and and why be the final moment of the film dedicate to a wife that our main character hasn not even care about through most of the film . oh wait and the film isn not the only thing thats poorly write and the main character wife make absolutely no sense . she complain a lot about how she be a slave and she never want to have a slave and yadda yadda yadda . then why at the drop of a hat be she willing to sell her only daughter into slavery . even if they be starve at the time of this idea and it still doesn not make sense when 20 minute later in the film she be complain about not want a slave again . there be other film from the thirty that should be pay attention to . the only thing this one have go for it be the cinematography . the land be shoot beautifully and oh and the sequence with the locust be quite impressive . too bad that be in a film that have nothing to say . one last thing . i know that at this point in time hollywood be focus mostly on star and they figure that a good actor can portray anything . for most of the film paul muni do portray an asian man to the best of his ability and but once it hit the half point where the film go on for no reason he lose it and just becomes regular old italian paul and they even cut his hair so he look like tony from scarface ( also a good film than this ) . of all the main character in the film i think maybe three be actually asian and the rest be just american be silly . oh and please ms. rainer that be a really nice one note performance and not and if i could i rip the oscar out of your hand and oh i would . the good earth be one epic waste of time . if you want something along this vain to watch on nice even get the grape of wrath and a film that truly deserve all the praise it get . mainly because it wasn not write by a monkey . | 0neg |
the good earth follow the life a slave girl and a poor farmer in china . the movie be base on the novel by pearl s. buck . the story be great and but i hat that they decide to cast anglos in the lead role . walter connolly be laughable a the farmer father . he have such a heavy american accent and as do most of the lead actor and that i could not bear listen to him speak . it be a shame that hollywood could not get past their racist belief to cast asian in the lead role . to take anglos and make them look like chinese be akin to anglos put shoe polish on their face to play african american . | 0neg |
well and what be fun . except for the fun part . it my second least favorite so far and i even think it be bad than lazarus and ghost in the machine . let start with the good . the teaser and it be incredibly well do and also emotional . be the great animal lover that i be and it be fun see so many beautiful animal in this episode . but then there all the bad and and believe me there be a lot of it . little make sense and so those animal be be abduct by alien and impregnate . whaaa . the dialog be also pretty awful . there be about one or two quotable line . and bad of all and have pretty much all those animal die be very unpleasant for me . in the end . what the point . they all pretty much die . we do not learn anything and we weren not entertain and and i couldn not even find sophia death sad . just very frustrating . star . shame because season 2 be do so well . | 0neg |

this movie could be use in film class in a how not to script a b movie course . there be inherent constriction in a b movie represent budget be tight and time be precious ( scarecrow be apparently shoot in 8 day ) and the actor be often green and inexperienced . the one aspect you have complete control over be write the best script you can within the limitation set before you . scarecrow script seem to have be write in a drunken haze . i could go through about fifteen example of the nonsensical scripting of this movie and but i will just mention one represent the gravedigger . the character of the gravedigger be introduce about an hour into the movie . he seemingly have no connection to any of the other character already in the movie . he be show with his daughter and who also have no connection to anybody else in the movie . the gravedigger be give a couple scene to act surly in and then be kill to pad out the body count . why give the gravedigger a daughter . why give the daughter a boyfriend . why introduce them so late in the movie . why not try to make them part of the ongoing storyline . scarecrow doesn not seem to care . the story of scarecrow go something like this represent lester be a high school kid ( play by and actor who would i would peg to be in his early 30 ) who be pick on by the other kid . he be an artist who draw bird and have a crush on a classmate name judy . his mom be a lush and the town whore . one of her reprobate boyfriend make fun of his drawing ( by call him a faggot for draw bird instead of monster and cowboy . if you have a high school student still draw cowboy i would think him to more likely be gay than a high school student who draw crow ) and later and kill lester and in a cornfield and under the titular scarecrow . magically and lester soul go into the scarecrow . somehow and this transference change lester soul from that of an artist into that of a wisecracking gymnast ( i know some review have call the scarecrow a kung fu scarecrow . i disagree . the scarecrow practically do a whole floor routine before jump onto the truck during the climax of the movie ) . the scarecrow then go on to kill those who torment him and those who smoke pot in the corn field and those who dig graf and boyfriend of daughter of gravedigger and pretty much anyone who show up on the movie set . the bonus feature on the dvd should be mention . the director ( a frenchman ) do an impromptu version of rap music and admit he enjoy not have executive around on set so he can screw his wife while work and give a quote to live by ( and i be paraphrase ) represent life ez a bitch and but et have a great assnumber of beer i drink while watch this movie represent 5 do it help represent no number of beer need to enjoy this movie represent whatever it take to get to blackout drunk level . | 0neg |

this movie have the potential to be a decent horror movie . the main character be decently do and i felt sorry for him and there be a decent amount of backstory . however and everything else suck . the director and emmanuel and be quite incompetent at film making . he use some of the most idiotic shot ever . a couple of random sequence of random image disperse throughout the film . i do not know if he try to be deep and intelligent and poetic but he wasn not . it be stupid . random shot of the trailer the main character live in and random building and random pan shot of building and random cat which walk away . wtf . and cloud . lot of gloomy dark cloud . he really like this technique of have a scene cut up into different shot rather than be just one continuous shot . ex represent guy be try to light his weed and the camera circle around him . instead of just one shot and he edit it into like 10 different shot so it really edgy . and hip . and smart . stupid . the acting be horrible but it what make the movie so funny . and the scarecrow be a gymnast cause he flip and spin and twirl all the time . and some of the death could have be good . you expect the main bully to have a long well build up death but nope . a simple corncob in the ear . the love interest be hot . voluptuous . which be why this movie get a 2 . | 0neg |
oh dear lord . this movie . it be horrible . i be a huge fan of horror movie . and most of the time and horror movie other people say be bad and i like . the actor who play scarecrow be amazing and i will say that . but this plot be awful . it make no sense . it have way too much gore and and an unnecessary ( and revolt ) sex scene at the beginning . i do believe the director be try to be hock or whatnot and but it just come out awful . to add to the pile of fester crap they call a plot and the actor ( besides carecrow ) be awful and and i care so little about them that i soon forget who be who . in conclusion and this movie make me sick . if you can avoid watch this movie in anyway and please do . | 0neg |
spirit of a murdered high school geek animate a scarecrow which then take revenge on everyone . this movie really annoy me . it have a great look monster and have some good low budget effect and some atmosphere but manage to short circuit the good stuff with bad . half way in i start to fast forward and then step through the chapter on the dvd . the problem with this movie be many . first off the cast look about thirty and yet they be suppose to be in high school . you do not believe anything from the get go a a result . the scarecrow and while look great isn not much beyond that . he say stupid one liner and move in a manner more design to be funny then scary . be this a comedy or a horror movie . it a problem that go beyond the one liner to much of the dialog and set up . it seem more send up of every cliché than heartfelt horror film . i some how expect that the film be make for a very narrow audience in mind and horror fan who want to mock the genre rather than embrace it . despite the good look monster this be a film to avoid . even if you pick it up in the bargain bin for under five buck and youre pay too much . avoid . | 0neg |
with all the excessive violence in this film and it could have be nc 17. but the gore could have be pg 13 and there be quite a lot of swears when the mum have the original jackass bad hairdewed boy friend . there be a lot of character development which make the film well to watch and then after the kid come back to life a the scarecrow and there be a mindless hour and ten minute of him kill people . the violence be overly excessive and i think the bodycount be high than twelve which be a large number for movie like this . almost every character in the film be stab or get their head chop off and but the teacher who call him white trash and hoodlum ( though the character lester be anything but a hoodlum and not even close and i know hood and be part hood and they do not draw in class and they sit there and throw stuff at the teacher ) . the teacher deserve a more gruesome death than anyone of the character and but be just stab in the back . there be two suspenseful scene in the film and but do not last long enough to be scary at all . a i say and the killing be excessive and sometimes people who have nothing to do with the story line get their head chop off . if the gore be actually fun to see and then it would have be nc 17. two kid describe a body they find in the cornfield and they describe it a a lot gory than it actually be and they explain to the cop that there be maggot crawl around in the guys intestine . his stomach have not even be cut open so there be no way maggot be in his stomach and though i would have like to see that . the acting be pathetic and character be loser and and the scarecrow could do a lot of gymnastix stunt . i suggest rent this movie for the death scene and i wont see it again anytime soon and but i enjoy the excessive violence . also and do not bother with the sequel and i watch five minute of it and be bore to death and it sound good but isn not . the original scarecrow actually keep me interested . | 0neg |
the director state in the behind the scene feature that he love horror movie . he love them so much that he dedicate the movie to dario argento and as well a other notable director such a george a. romero and tobe hooper . basically dedicate this movie to those great director be like give your mother a piece of sht for mother day . the first thing they do wrong be the casting . cast people that can act . also and do not cast a person that be 40 year old for the role of a misunderstood and 18 year old recluse . that right and he be in high school for 22 year . the reaction make by people a they watch their boyfriend get their heart rip out be amuse . or like one part when a guy get stab in the ear with an ear of corn ( haha get it ) and and his girlfriend just go and oh . my . god . the scarecrow himself be quite a character . do flip off car and call people loser . the movie do have one redeem factor . oh wait and no it doesn not . if you absolutely must see this movie and than just watch the rock and roll trailer on the dvd . it cover about everything and have a really gnarly song dude . | 0neg |
scarecrow be set in the small american town of emerald grove where high school student lester dwervick ( tim young ) be consider the local nerdy geek by teacher and fellow student alike . the poor kid suffers daily humiliation and bullying and teasing and general esteem destroy abuse at the hand of his peer . unfortunately he doesn not find much support at home since his mom be a slut and after lester annoy one of her bloke he chase him into a corn field and strangle the poor kid . however something magical happens ( no and the film doesn not suddenly become good ) and lester spirit get transfer into the corn field scarecrow which he then use a a body to gain revenge on those who torment him and make his life hell . co write and co produce and direct by emmanuel itier who accord to the imdb credit list also have a role in the film a someone call mr. duforq although i do not remember any character of this name and i suppose anyone who end up look at the imdb page for scarecrow will probably already be aware of it terrible reputation and i have to say it pretty much well deserve since it terrible . the script by itier and bill cunningham and jason white use the often told story of one of life loser who get pick upon and torment for no good reason get their revenge by supernatural mean in a relatively straight forward teen slasher flick . we have see it all before and we have see killer scarecrow before and we have see faceless teen be kill off one by one before and we have see one of life loser get his revenge before and we have see wise crack villain who make joke a they kill before and we have see incompetent small town sheriff make matter even bad before . the only real question to answer about scarecrow be whether it any fun to watch on a dumb teen slasher type level . the answer be a resound no to be honest . the film have terrible character and awful dialogue and an inconsistent and predictable story and it have some cheesy one liner like when the scarecrow kill someone with a shovel he ask can you dig it . and the so called twist end which be gear towards leave thing open for a sequel be just lame . the film move along at a reasonable pace but it isn not that excite and the kill be forgettable . you know i be still try to work out how someone can be stab and kill with a stick of corn . director itier doesn not do a particularly good job here and the kill scene be poorly handle with no build up whatsoever which mean there never any tension a within two second of a character be introduce they be kill off . also i be not happy with the killer scarecrow dude do all these back flip and somersault through the air in scene which feel like they belong in the matrix ( 1999 ) or some japanese kung fu flick . to give it some credit the actual scarecrow mask look really good and he look pretty cool but he be give little to do except spout bad one liner and twirl around a bit . don not you think that be tie to a wooden stake in the middle of a corn file all day would have be bore . i know he a killer scarecrow but i still say he would have be bore just hang around on a wooden stick all day . there no nudity and the gore isn not anything to write home about and there a decapitation and someone face be burnt and someone be kill with a stick of corn and someone get a shovel stuck in their throat and some sickle be stick in people head and someone have their heart rip out and someone have a metal thing stuck through the back of their head which come out of their mouth . with a supposed budget of about $ 250 and 000 this be apparently shoot in 8 day and well at least they do not waste any time on unimportant thing like story and character development . technically this be pretty much point and shoot and hope for the best stuff . if you look at the guy on the floor who have just have his heart rip out you can clearly see him still breathe . the act suck and the guy who play lester mum bloke be wear the most stupid look wig and fake moustache ever because he play two role in the film and the maker need to disguise him but they just end up make him look ridiculous and do not get me start on his accent . scarecrow have a few fun moment and the actual scarecrow himself be a nice creation with good special make up effect but a a whole the film be poorly make and badly act and silly and too predictable and very cheesy . if you want to see a great killer scarecrow flick then check out scarecrow ( 1988 ) . not to be confuse with the gene hackman and al pacino film scarecrow ( 1973 ) or the upcoming horror flick scarecrow ( 2008 ) which be currently in production . scarecrow prove popular enough on home video to spawn two more straight to video sequel and scarecrow slayer ( 2003 ) and scarecrow go wild ( 2004 ) . | 0neg |
this movie be so aggrivating . the main character look like he 35 and i have see scrawny beanpoles with more ball than this guy . the plot twist be so predictable it not even worth watch for the humor factor . also some of the bad dialogue i have hear in 3 year and let go find a small animal to torture . ugh . i can not even continue and do not watch this pile of garbage and it be make in 8 day . the one highlight be the drunk dude call the main character a faggot for draw picture . negative and unwatchable . | 0neg |
holy @ # % and this movie be still warm and juicy from the pile it be make with . i try to watch this pile of fester waste but find it easy to slash my wrist and slug back a shooter of lysol floor clean than endure more than half of the crap that be on my screen . i rank this well below anything i have ever watch on film or tv and and thats say something . i once witness a cow crap in a field . i watch the steaming pile for a hour and a half and who know . it might have move or something . well that be time well spent than watch this tripe . the acting be non existent and the plot be somewhere other than on this film . i think i saw a cut see early on where the plot manage to escape and be rid off in the background on the back of a old pickup truck head to portland in hope of become a steven king shi77er . please tell me director be get medication he so desperately need . it pretty clear he need heavy medication and i would willing to front the money need for his lobotomy reversal . bah . i can not give this review the full punch it need because nothing this painful can ever be do justice in typed word alone . let me just say that if your look for a flick to pass some time and you see this chilton on the rack and walk to your car and start the engine and then shove both of your fist straight into the fan until it you can not feel your bone vibrate anymore . be sure to have your wallet in hand also because you be go to waste the cash anyway . you might as well have the privilege of waste it yourself . by the way and i watch this after a buddy of mine send his girlfriend over so i could see it . he dint come over and she have too . whats worse be that she have to watch this $ % and @ thing twice . i hear their marry now and he get to visit his ball once a month . i hope it be because of this film . | 0neg |
i saw this not too long ago and and i must say represent this movie be terrible . i watch crappy movie for fun . scarecreow be not fun . scarecrow be stupid . you have an incredibly corny villain that enjoy scream awful pun a he kill his victim ( actually bad than the one contain in this sentence ) . he have his hard luck story that he use to justify his killing . everyone pick on me . the only girl that think i be not trailer trash like one of the guy that pick on me . i want to kill everybody . wah . ok and i be exaggerate . but the premise to this movie alone be enough to put it near the bottom of the list of crappy movie . add to what i just say and the kid mom be promiscuous and he walk in on his mother and her current boyfriend get it on and mom boyfriend tell him to leave and kid refuse and insist that he isn not go to leave his own house . boyfriend chase kid into corn field . he kill kid right in front of mom and mom scream in terror and boyfriend be like and omg . i do not mean to . then he tell mom not to say anything to the police about it . kid be kill under a scarecrow and though . so and like any kid who get murder under a scarecrow and he come back a a killer scarecrow with a vengeance . his victim haven not be stalk like this before . ( scarecrow official tag line ) to make matter bad and this movie be film in a whopping 8 day . that right and 8 day . i be go to give this movie a 2 and because in spite of itself and it have one or two redeeming moment . ( theyre spoiler and so i would not spoil it for you and if you actually want to see this crap . ) i could have somewhat forgive the bad acting and the horrible special effect and the abysmal script and and the bad camera work and but i simply have no respect for lack of effort on that level . this movie isn not nearly as good a i be make it out to be . if you want to see an example of how not to make a movie and or if you enjoy watch bad movie and like i do and then watch this at your own risk . everyone else should stay a safe distance away from this movie at all time . | 0neg |
wow be all i can say if your reading this be either watched it or be think about it . trust me watch it . i laugh so hard at so many part of this movie the bad act ever make be very funny . i cant believe they superimpose the school sign . i must have play that scene over and over again just to laugh more and more every time . if a movie like this can be make it give u all hope in make our own movie . even the costume be bad . it look like my 7 year old cousin could have do a good job on make it . heck i bet he could have write and act well as well . all i know be that i have to watch the second part just so i can see if it be as bad a the first . it a cool idea about a killer scarecrow but a much good job could have be do . hopefully another killer scarecrow movie come out and just not like this one . | 0neg |
perhaps one of the bad teenage slasher film i ever do see . i will start with the bad point of t he movie and which pretty much cover the entire film . first of all and something no one can avoid represent terrible act . i swear they pick up some random kid off the street base on how they look . secondly and bad or unconvincing character work or development . you hardly even know half the kid who be kill in here . all you figure be that they deserve it one way or another . the scarecrow character be overdone and and a cheap rip off of the other great fantasy killer such a freddy or pinhead . next represent bad dialog represent the scarecrow be full of horrid one liner that would make you laugh and only because it be so terrible . line like let go find some small animal to torture . really just leave you with an eyebrow raise . last but not least represent next off represent bad casting . how old be the guy who play lester . like 30. the back of his head be bald for god sake . there be much more i could say about this film and like it cheap special effect and it high school film class effort and but the point be understood . it just bad film making at it worst . a for what i find to be good in the movie represent entertain for those with low and low and low standard would help put insomniacs to sleep . a very cheap laugh and or even a giggle . | 0neg |
first off and let me start with a quote a friend of mine say while watch this movie represent this entire movie have to have be a dare . you know and like and dude and i bet you couldnt make the bad movie ever . with this movie and they have make a good effort at achieve that title . the effect be and of course and poor . the plot or dialogue be like a collage of of bit steal from every b horror movie ever make . the actor and i be assume and be suppose to be in college . yet part of it ( especially at the beginning ) make it seem like theyre suppose to be in high or middle school . it make no sense . the scarecrow go around kill people isn not the least bit enjoyable . ( spoiler represent at the end and when they chant lester name and he reappear and the black guy and scarecrow be both laugh and probably out of relief they be on their last scene and and at the cheesy dialogue . ) . | 0neg |
let face it while some lame kid who die and have his soul transfer into a scarecrow . das no gon na happen neva . omfg this stupid loser kid who can not stand up for himself get his as hand to him by some drunk bastard screw his mom . right a he die and he look up at the scarecrow and he let his spirit go into the scarecrow . the drunk guy cover up his death by make it seem suicidal and think he have get away with it . we later see he be toss out of the trailer and later earn another encounter with the scarecrow . they have a brief encounter which include the drunk call him a loser and the scarecrow rebound with take one to know one and loser . the scarecrow flip off the building and call him daddy o and and then behead the poor man . we can see how this awesome movie unfolds from that . he go on to kill many people and afterward . he mainly kill the people who give him a hard time in rl and go off to kill some random as people and just for some laugh . no laugh here . he add a punchline to every kill and too . every time he kill someone and he would do some karate flip and finish it all off with one of his signature punchlines . in the case of someone who be hard of hearing and he would say here and have an ear of corn . then shove it up their as . or we can actually take an example from the movie . he just get do kill a cop and be on his way to kill the only person who ever stand up for him . her father and the sheriff and yell to the madman to stop and and he say hey and stay awhile . and throw a dagger throw his chest and stick him onto some tree . in the end of the movie and he kill two guy and threw in the punchline get ta split . and kill two guy by shove a scythe into their head . wowzors and this movie make me want to cream my pant so bad . maybe next time this guy make a movie and it would not be gay . | 0neg |
i have get ta say and i usually like horror movie that i have never see . however and this one be just to pathetic for my gory taste . i be use to the gory and gut wrenching type . but this particular movie be lame . the acting be horrible ( yet the corny ( no pun intend ) one liner be cute ) . and the sequel to it and scarecrow slayer be even bad . yes and probably and when it first come out and there be a huge rave about it and people like it . but when movie like the ring and the exorcist of emily rise come out and movie like these make movie like scarecrow seem childish . if you want a movie to just pass the time and pick this one . the special effect be cheesy a heck . but see that it be a low budget movie and i can kind of see where that would come in . this will kind of remind you of the movie child of the corn . independent movie rock . most of the time . so if you want to see a scarecrow kill people with corncob and or in the sequel and 2 scarecrow go at it and then these movie would be for you . | 0neg |
i be watch this on the sci fi channel right now . it so horrible i can not stop watch it . i be a videographer and this movie make me sad . i feel bad for anyone associate with this movie . some of the camera work be good . most be very questionable . there be a few decent actor in the flick . too bad theyre surround by what must have be the director relatives . that the only way they could have be qualify to be in a movie . music be a little good than the acting . if you get around to watch this i hope it because there be absolutely no other option . the sequel ( yes sequel ) be come on now . i think i will skip it . jason . | 0neg |
wow and what can i say about this film . it a lousy piece of crap . i be surprise that it get rat as high a it do . what wrong with this film . here a good question represent what not wrong with this film . the story itself be just crap and cliché . here pretty much what it about . some kinda nerdy kid with no friend get pick on and get kill and and come back a a scarecrow for revenge . all of that be pack into 86 minute of worthless film . if you haven not see this movie do not waste your time watch it . also and the second one isn not much good and so do not bother watch that either . i rat this movie a three because i like the scarecrow outfit and not because there be anything good about the movie . i think you get the picture . | 0neg |
a far a b movie go and scarecrow be one of those that be so bad and that it become incredibly annoy to sit through . a lonely loser high school student who be constantly pick on by classmate and reject by girl and end up walk in on his trailer trash mother have sex with a drunk redneck . he then chase the kid out into a nearby cornfield and kill him . apparently and the kid soul be transfer into a scarecrow which then go around kill the bully who torment him as well a teacher . this scarecrow and aside from have a snappy one liner for each of his victim and can also do matrix like flip through the air and kill people on sidewalk in broad daylight . also and why do he always look like a rotted corpse . just like the two needless sequel that follow this and this isn not even worth a laugh . | 0neg |
okay and enjoy be a pretty relative term and but flexibility be in order when youre deal with a filmmaker of james glickenhaus calibre . mcbain be truly one of the most ridiculous and over the top action film i have ever see and without the nasty edge of the exterminator . other review have comment on a suspension of disbelief regard the film heroic middle age commando and but how about make a film in the philippine that be set in colombia . all the extra be filipino . in fact the only character who look remotely hispanic be good ol victor argo a the much revile el presidente . oh yes and we also have maria conchita alonso overemoting like crazy a a rebel leader . there be ton of explosion and body fly everywhere in this amusing paean to the glory of american imperialism . | 0neg |
i purchase this film on the cheap in a sale and have read the back of the dvd case and assume that either way i can not lose and it if be rubbish then no loss and if it be any good then bargain . then i watch it . i be normally a fan of christopher walken and but in this film he command very little screen presence and seem not to do a whole lot and even the death of his friend near the beginning which spark off the action in the plot seem to affect him very little and and his eventual revenge be just boring and undramatic . normally a film which have theme as grand a revolution and revenge be able to capture the audience and snare them into feel something for the character and however watch this film felt more like see a series of confused and and almost random event that loosely tie together towards it eventual conclusion . at this point i weep . i think this film be the most horribly painful piece of view i have ever be subject to and the scene where the pilot sacrifice himself by refuse to jump out the explosive laden truck due to not want to kill any civilian be not so much tragically sad a it be unnervingly horrible and painful and although not quite as bad a the emergency surgery on the wounded girl . the acting be poor all round and the script and story be weak and the action be even weak and and the visuals be but bluntly not all that visual . to summarise there be film which be good and film that be bad and film that be so bad they be good and film that be terrible . and then on a whole new level be mcbain . | 0neg |
this be an absolutely terrible movie . don not be lure in by christopher walken or michael ironside . both be great actor and but this must simply be their bad role in history . even their great acting could not redeem this movie ridiculous storyline . this movie be an early ninety u propaganda piece . the most pathetic scene be those when the columbian rebel be make their case for revolution . maria conchita alonso appear phony and and her pseudo love affair with walken be nothing but a pathetic emotional plug in a movie that be devoid of any real meaning . i be disappointed that there be movie like this and ruin actor like christopher walken good name . i could barely sit through it . | 0neg |
creep be the story of kate ( potente ) and an intensely unlikeable bourgeois bitch that find herself somehow sleep through the noise of the last underground train and and wake up to find herself lock in the tube station . after somehow meeting workmate and would be rapist guy on a mystery train that run after the line have close and thing go awry and she find herself pursue by what lurk beneath the city street . her story be link to that of george ( blackwood ) and an ex con work in the sewer system while they meet in the final third of the film and bring together by their attempt to escape the monster that pursue them . the pair proceed through a set of increasingly unlikely location while from the tube station and they end up in the sewage work before somehow find themselves in some sort of abandon underground surgery . most tube station do not have toilet and so how one have a surgery be beyond me . naturally and the film care to explain that the surgery doesn not have run water . yet it have electricity . just one of many inconsistency that work against the atmosphere of everyday believability that the film try to create . the monster itself be a problem . there a complete lack of reason for it action and it just kill people for no obvious reason . and then of course it keep some alive for no real reason either and perhaps just so that they can eventually escape and give the film an extra 15 minute or so running time . i understand that natural evil be suppose to be scary and but then the film attempt to explain itself via a photo of a doctor and his son and and a few shot of some jar contain baby and and yes and it be just as tired and pathetic a it sound . it also fail to explain how the creature have be underground long enough to lose the ability to speak and communicate only in raptor scream and but not long enough for it pair of short to decay . hmm . this doctor business lead to scene that be the film desperate attempt to implant itself on your memory and and while it be gory and uncomfortable to watch and it just isn not enough . the final third of the film hinge on an emotional relationship that never exist and and the character break down and recover for little or no obvious reason . george break down and unable to cope with something despite state that he want to escape so he can see his daughter again and and kate becomes emotionally tough second after go to piece over someone that rip her off for a travelcard . yeah . after start out a a this could happen to anyone movie and it quickly fall apart a it introduce idea that make it more and more unrealistic . a complete lack of emotional interest in the character and an absence of suspense make this one to avoid . | 0neg |
the london underground have something inherently creepy about it and with it long winding tunnel and the escalator take you deep and deep underground and and of course the rat roam the track . it a source of wonder that it be not use in horror film more often . it be use in the seventy horror deathline aka raw meat and feature a cannibalistic tribe living in a disused tunnel and and the celebrated chase sequence in american werewolf in london . so i be pleased to see that someone else have try to capitalise on the atmosphere of the tube at night with the recent uk production creep . i think the film start off well and with a highly effective credit sequence that be genuinely unnerving and follow by a scene in the sewer that set up the premise of there be something evil lurking below the street of london . however and creep go downhill from here and and i find myself wish that i would switch it off after this opening scene and leave me with a favourable impression of the film . all the character become unsympathetic and unlikable and even potente herself and and the director felt the need to hit u over the head with social commentary about homelessness . he also make the mistake of show the monster in full lighting and where he cease to become remotely scary and and reveal his name to be craig . how can you have a monster call craig . it turn into an x file type thing and and remind one of the episode tomb . in fact and i be wish mulder and scully would turn up and sort them all out for me . a for the infamous sexualised violence and it be very graphic and disturb and totally unnecessary . it seem to be there merely to shock the audience rather than for any intrinsic plot value . the trouble be it be so over the top and horrific that it actually numb you to the rest of the horror and which be a mistake a it only halfway through the film . so there you go . the only redeeming feature of the film for me be a rare appearance from ken campbell and one of my favourite occasional actor . you do not see him very often and but when he on screen he act everyone else into a corner . cast him a a sewer inspector be a stroke of genius and unfortunately the only one evident in the film . | 0neg |
the potential be there . i saw creep and thought and oooh and this be get interest several time . yet somehow the interesting plot line wind up unexplained or ignore and like they never happen . the lead character be irritate throughout the movie and and at one point my fella and i both shouted that we want her to die . there be some genuinely spooky or scary moment and but these be grossly overshadow by the moment that just annoy the hell out of me . it another one of those horror movie that crop up and intrigue you for a while and but ultimately leave you frustrate and a little confused about what the movie maker be try to achieve . the one save grace of this movie be the bad guy and but when the baddie be more likable than the lead character you know youre on to a loser . | 0neg |
i will keep this short a a movie like this doesn not deserve a full review . give the setting and this movie could have be something really special . it could have be another 28 day later or even a blair witch projectthe first 20 or so minute of the movie i be really excited and directer do a decent job with cinematography and suspense and although i do not think he manage to capture true eeriness of an empty london underground . character be a big let down . our heroine in this movie be a worthless piece of crap and and you really do not care if she die or not . a many people have say before and i be root for the homeless people and the black guy and who manage to give me a chuckle or two ( whether intentional of the writer or not ) . the main villain and be keep in the dark for the first half of the movie and but when he be reveal i be really disappointed . i would not spoil it but let just say my 10 year old sister could probably beat him in a wrestling match . all in all this be just another mediocre horror film which fall into the trap of follow a simple hollywood formula . this film have a lot of potential but really fail to hit the mark . just to highlight how lame this movie be and the character in this movie have at least five time to finish off and kill the main villain . instead they run away . | 0neg |
i be so disgust by this film and i felt obligate to warn off others . this film have no story and plot or hint of purpose . the film start after the standard let be scary movie intro and which by now every film watcher have become accustomed . so we can ignore the beginning completely . we be soon introduce to the main actress and from this point it become clear to all that you have just waste your hard earn and would be good off watch static . ( unless you have see white noise eek ) acting be a disgrace and all of them should return to the travel pantomime from where they come . have say that and even the best actor in the world would struggle to make this film remotely watch able . their poor performance merely contribute to the disaster . senseless violence and what i can only assume be the write word of yet another junk up eccentric writer and who probably consider himself to be an artist and have result in a film which will test your patience . it be not until my fellow watcher turn to me and say and we have be watch this for 45 min do i realise that this film be a thin and tasteless a a cup of tea without a tea bag . clearly something be miss and unfortunately it wasn not the audience . rather than suggest what the film be miss and let me tell you what it have represent dumb blonde ( surprise surprise ) and victim and bad monster guy thing and about 2 min of storyline which be stretch over hour and day and week and month . and credit . want a silver lining . well and the blonde girl be a bit saucy look in some of the scene and but expect to want to see her face rip off for the rest of the film . | 0neg |
absolutely laughable film . i live in london and the plot be so ill research it ridiculous . no one could be terrorise on the london underground . in the short time it be not in service each night there be team of maintenance worker down there check the track and perform repair and etc . that there be homeless people live down there be equally unlikely . or that it even possible to get lock in and not have access to a mobile phone in this day and age . the bad that likely to happen if someone do find themselves there after the last train be that they might get graffiti spray on them . although this have be come under control due to the massive number of security camera on the network and another thorn in the side of the story . ( remember in london a a whole we have more security camera than any other city in the world . ) if it have be set in a city i be not familiar with perhaps i could have enjoy it through ignorance and but it not a high quality film so i just couldn not bring myself to suspend my disbelief and try and enjoy it for the banal little tale that it be . i would have give it negative if such a rating exist . possibly the most disappointing film i ever think i would like . | 0neg |
yet another example of the complete waste of uk lottery money . just how commercial do this film prove . the film council and who fund this miserable garbage should be strand and on one of the london underground disused station and for allow this clichéd and dismal specimen to be commit to film and a half mutant thing make up of all the horror movie the director have see and felt fit to imitate and most notably deathline . amongst it many sin be the quite obvious failure to make the lead character remotely sympathetic until the last minute . it a little bit too late then . surely all those development executive and at the uk film council and could have notice this at the script stage . add to this the terrible acting and the laughable appearance of the creature and you get a prime example of how not to scare . | 0neg |
. of course there spoiler . i be sure this project start off a a screen write workshop on avoid clichés in horror movie represent female protagonist check bad thing happen to drug taker check heorine knock out villain check heroine doesn not notice villain recover unconsciousness check frame the sequence so we see recovered villain creep up behind heroine check unfortunately it seem someone have send this cliché list to a film studio instead of use it for class . dear oh dear if only london transport be as regular a the clichés turn up here . in fact there so many clichés and see it all before moment that no one actually think about go into detail a to what the eponymous creep be or how long he be kill people on the underground . i be lead to believe it the result of some human experiment and perhaps it not until that night he decide to take his revenge out on humanity but all this be so vague a to be meaningless not to be totally negative i doubt very much if the producer think they would be make a film that be go to sweep the oscar that year and there always a market for horror movie . likewise i doubt if it cost too much produce and have one eye on the dvd market rather than cinema distribution and i will state that it slightly well than 1972 death line which also feature a murderous cannibal hiding in the london underground . it just that when you think all the clichés have be use up in this film another cliché come along to raise it ugly head . | 0neg |
. in a horror movie that be . alright first off and let start with kate . her main goal include get lay by george clooney and look good and last but not least screw everyone over . get ta love her . she have about 3 amazingly good chance to finish off this sicko but . instead she run . i mean she do not wan na bring guy out for 10 minute and when she do it be too late . i mean the guy try to rape her . i cant get into these movie where the main character be a sad idiot . i mean who honestly would have any sympathy for a guy who finish off everyone she have meet in a night . the movie keep go on . and a a result lose all it credibility . | 0neg |
okay i must say that before the revealing of the amonster . say that he really do not fit into that category and just some weird thing that have an annoying screech . and personally i think a granny could have run away from that thing and but anyway . i actually be get into this film and although have the main character a drunk and a heroine addict do not come a an appeal . but such scene a when she run away from the train and and you can see the figure at the door be kind of creepy and also where the guard have just be kill and the amonster put his hand on the screen . but then disaster stick form the moment the monster be reveal it just become your average horror and with limited thrill or scare . slowly i become more bored and and want to shut the thing off . i like most people have say be root for the homeless people to make it and specially the guy and he give me a few cheap laugh here and there . i think this film could have really be something special instead it become what every other horror nowadays be . just boring and well not worth the money . if you be look for a cheap scare here and there and or a mindless gore fest ( which be limited and hardly any in fact ) by all mean give it a go and but for all you serious horror watcher look somewhere else and much good film out there . | 0neg |
please and be warn represent this movie and though a pretty bad storyline and be one of the most gruesome movie i have see . ever . just remember that before you settle on your sofa to enjoy the movie . so and it officially begin with a party . just your average party but there some guy there . he pretty into kate . if you know what i be say . memorise his face while it will help later . so anyway kate go of to find george clooney ( do not i say the plot be bad . ) and so take the tube . that london underground at the middle of the night and but she just stupid like that . so the timetable say the next and and last and train will come in 7 minute . now kate and dumb party girl that she be and decide that she can have a nap in the spare 7 minute . typically and she miss the train and find herself lock in the london underground . alone . well and almost . so the movie just carry on from there . blood and gut and limb and even certain part of the body i shall not mention be slash and gash and eventually amputate from the body . in short and it a typical horror while pretty but thick damsel in distress type woman and sick and weird psycho . or a the case may have it and creep . i would say give it a go if youre into saw and hostel or the texas chainsaw massacre but for the rest of u and scream with satisfy out horror need thankyou very much . | 0neg |
this film be a perfect example of the recent crop of horror film that simply be not fully realize . there be two route to take in horror film represent either you do not really explain what go on ( or who the killer be and like in texas chainsaw massacre ) or give the character a lot of back story and characterization so that everything be explain ( halloween could potentially be an example of this ) . unfortunately and creep fails in this area . i see absolutely no reason to give a small shred of the back story for craig without fully capture the essence of his character or his motivation . no character be fully realize and although the circular nature of kate character in the film be the most accomplished part of the story . in the end and this story be mostly unmotivated and none of the performance give it the necessary life to make it enthral or interesting enough to overcome the lack of context and empty film make that drag down the film . this film will go down as another example of a film ( a most be ) that could be so much good even though it would never be great . the only thing that be use properly in the film be the setting represent the character and story and direction and and overall writing would have benefit from a serious face lift . creep do serve a purpose a a mindless and silly horror movie with no intellectual or emotional investment and but sadly and that about it . | 0neg |
basically what we have here be little more than a remake of the hilarious 1970 classic kitsch horror death line which ironically be like this cobbler and also partly film at the disused aldwych underground station . make good use of the now disused jubilee line platform at char cross as well a the aforementioned aldwych and this film contain basically the same plot dodgy murder mad zombie in the tunnel prey on the lost passenger who have miss the last train originality be not this film strong point . indeed strong point be sadly lack . the gore range from the poor to the unnecessarily over gory whilst the sub gollum nutter be never really fully explain a seem little more than an under develop plot device . franke polente have little to do with a thin script than run down a lot of tunnel and scream every so often and indeed she be like pretty much everyone else in this film and out act by a small dog and a pack of tame rat . if creepy film set on the london underground be your bag and or you just want to play pot the tube location them pick this up on dvd when it hit a bargain bin . if you be look for classic horror and go and dig up a copy of death line ( aka raw meat ) . if you be look for a quality well write and act film and you will need to change train . | 0neg |
creep your journey terminates here . some very graphic scene and . well and yeah and that about all for this film . no real plot and no storyline . no likable character and well and character isn not correct consider you do not have a clue who anyone really be . i mean and they be be chase by some weird look thing in the sewer ( who be this thing . why be he there . ) and that quite scary i guess and but do i really care . no and i do not . why do not i. because i do not have a clue who these people be and i do not know if i should want them to live or die . it one dimensional and rely upon gore and sound effect to scare you and which it rarely do . this film lack any meaning and any purpose . it feel like i fell asleep and miss out the 45mins of build up . it jump right into the action . basically and some woman and her friend get lock in the london underground and get chase by a weird creature and then they eventually escape from it . creep have it moment which make you jump and the art be good and the location be excellent and the sound be ok and but that isn not what make a decent horror film and so unfortunately all that go to waste . it nothing new . another predictable modern horror and where kate ( the lead character ) consistently do the stupid hey and i know you lot sit at home think i should do the sensible thing in this situation and but and oooh no . i be go to do the total opposite because i be a dumb blond thing . i wish they wouldn not do that and it do so many time and it bore and get predictable . in fact and i be pretty annoy the silly woman do not get stab by the and erm and grey alien look creature . your journey terminates here be the film tag line . well and creep journey terminate only a short while into the film . if you have have a few beer and get a couple of mate back at yours and then sure and watch it by all mean . but if you want something original and clever and avoid . | 0neg |
i just rent creep and be not at all impressed . i do not feel anything in this film . i felt sick because the gore alone be shock . i walk out of my living room several time in desperation that something would happen with this film . haven not we see this all before . i do not like any of the character barr the guy in the sewer cage . i felt bad for him . but then again i couldn not think a to why he be still alive and not murder by the creep . so many question need to be answer . someone mention reference to the ps2 game silent hill and i can see similarity vaguely . not a bad film and not a good one . judge for yourself . | 0neg |
this be quite possibly the bad film i have ever see . bad than the most abhorrent american dross while bad than glitter mariah carey in american dross par excellence . i can only imagine that the writer and producer be take huge amount of recreational pharmaceutical and and when discuss the plot actually think it be a good idea . it not . it be abject rubbish from very bowel of satan himself ( who could probably have write a good script have he put his mind to it ) . robert jones a exce producer and spending our tax payer money ( lottery money folk ) on this piece of nonsense and should be accountable . who on earth think it would be a good idea to re make deathline . i ask you camp a a christmas tree and deathline . mind the door be classic of really bad british film and we really do not need a reminder . and we certainly do not need a poor and second rate and badly script and badly develop and badly piece of rubbish like this . all this this from the uk funding agency that bring u sex life of the potato men . i rest my case . do not pay any money to see this . it be absolute and utter crap the one save grace for the producer be that they get a huge wedge of cash . our cash . for make it . they should hang their head in shame . i be stagger at the low and low standard of this film . it make me mgr that our national body for the support of film actually think it be worth support . there be no hope for the british film industry whilst idiot be run the show . harvey wienstein where be you . come back and we forgive you . | 0neg |
all logic go straight out of the train window in this british horror film and set in the london underground and star the usually reliable franka potente ( run lola run ) and franka play kate and a businesswoman on the way from an office party to meet friend who fall asleep at an underground station and only to wake up and find she have be lock in and find herself be chase by someone or something with killer intention . plot hole and unbelievability be rife and there be very few moment that be actually jumpy or scary but plenty that be just plain dull . all in all an unpleasant film that should just stay locked underground forever and do u all a favour . the only plus point here be the inclusion in the cast of popular veteran actor ken campbell and who do good than this that even include erasmus microman . | 0neg |
i be really and really disappointed with this movie . it start really well and and build up some great atmosphere and suspense and but when it finally get round to reveal the monster . it turn out to be just some psycho with skin problem . again . whoop de do . yet another nutjob movie . like we do not already have enough of them . to be fair and the creep be genuinely unsettling to look at and and the way he move and the strange sound he make be pretty creepy and but i be sick of rent film like this only to discover that the monster be human and albeit a twisted and demented and freakish one . when i saw all the tell tale rat early on i be hop for some kind of freaky rat monster hybrid thing . it be such a let down when the creep be reveal . on top of this and some of the stuff in this movie make no sense . ( spoiler ) why the hell do the creep kill the security guard . whats the point and apart from stick a great honking sign up that say hi i be a psycho and i live down here . it stupid and and only seem to happen to prevent franka potente character from get help . what the hell he be eat down there . i get the impression he be effectively wall in and and only the unexpected opening into that tunnel section let him loose . so have he be munch rat all that time and and if so why do they hang around him so much . why be he so damn hard to kill . he thin and malnourish and not exactly at peak performance . but seem to keep go despite injury that be equivalent to those that . cripple the non psycho character in the film . the dvd commentary say we be intend to empathise with creep and but i just find him loathsome . it an effective enough movie and but it waste so many opportunity that it make me sick . | 0neg |
i be sadly disappoint by this film due to the fact that it felt false and the character be not strong enough to carry the film pretty weak attempt at horror . the basic idea for the film be interest but unfortunately it wasn not able to excite and really scare or shock me there be one part in the entire film that i think be gruesome but even that do not redeem it . i do get to like the character of kate by the end of the film a she seem to soften and become a little more realistic by the end and the character play by jeremy sheffield be not actually need for this film and i think the director or writer get carry away with the myriad of character use for no purpose and if he have leave it at the basic character make it more of a solo effort on kate part and it may have work jeremy act be wooden to say the least and i felt uncomfortable watch the bad on screen chemistry or lack of it . such a shame . disappointing . | 0neg |
honestly and i go to see the movie and not because of the actor and not because of the plot but because it be rat 17 here in luxembourg and a movie have to be really brutal or pornographic to be put in this category . believe me and be a movie freak and i have see quite a lot of brutal film in my lifetime ( ichi the killer and irreversible and hellraiser ) but this movie be by far the most disturbing and brutal picture i have ever see . the plot be plain stupid and the directing be awful and act be mediocre even the music be a cheap copy of so call horror soundtrack . there isn not a single intelligent aspect in the whole movie and and some of the scene be really hard to stand . ( especially the scene and where you see the embryo in the glass and hear the baby cry horrible ) . i can not understand why the movie be rat 16 in germany and where normally the criterion be real tough ( e. g. kill bill ( brutal but it make fun of itself and have great allusion to asian cinema and besides a magnificent directing ) even a movie like state of grace be rat 18 ) . no one can call this a horror movie and because actually it be more about show gore than about scar the public ( show the creep face in the middle of the movie be a very bad decision ) while for me ( excuse my expression ) it be just one insane director live out his disturb fantasy . in some scene you see violence and that have absolutely nothing to do with the plot nor do it explain anything . the plot have hole and flaw and the dialog be boring and honestly i can not mention a single positive aspect of the movie except for the british and scottish accent . if i have something to say and i would ban this movie from the theater and i fully understand why none of the big production company invest their money in this crap . i be look forward to get feedback to my thread and i would be happy to discuss about one or the other topic . livin the dream baby and livin the dream david aames . | 0neg |
i be compel to write a review of this imax feature a a mean of warn others to save your money . almost any episode of desmond morris the human animal or david suzuki the nature of thing could have best the material present . not only do the director fail to make use of imax incredible 65 to 70 mm film stock and gigantic presentation screen and everything on screen be extremely unimpressive give the accessibility of such programming mention previously . viewer be introduce to a pregnant heather and her husband buster and and their niece and nephew . we follow them for an interminable forty odd minute a they eat and sweat and listen to music and etc . although we be give access to scenes inside the human digestive track and learn about baby natural dive reflex and do we really learn anything more than most grade school graduate . be we even remotely entertain by the trans atlantic heather . do we care . avoid this film at all cost . if you do wish to see an imax feature and i suggest the beautifully photograph india represent kingdom of the tiger or the technically thrilling space station 3d . trust me . | 0neg |
this film differentiate itself from the run of the mill wonder of the human body documentary by bravely and if bizarrely and opt to elicit disgust in the viewer . in one scene and the camera close in on a gigantic 50 foot zit a a teenager squeeze pu and fluid out of it . in another and the camera be semisubmerged in a swamp of half digest food and stomach acid a part of a pasta salad drop in from the esophagus and plop into the goo . in a final tour de force and the camera take the viewer on a harrowing ride through a forest of . teenage armpit hair . unfortunately and i be not make any of this up . see this film if you must and but represent bring your vomit bag and and do not have pasta salad beforehand . | 0neg |
after what i think be a masterful performance of two role in man from snowy river and why be kirk douglas replace by brian dennehy in the sequel . it just wasn not the same without spur and harrison and a portray by douglas . maybe he recognize how poor the plot be jim return after extend absence and to find jessica be pursue by another man . he could not expect any girl to wait that long with no contact from him and and not find competition . for a disney movie and this contain foul language and plus the highly unnecessary part when jim and jessica shack up without be marry very lame . quite an insult to viewer intelligence and accord to member of my family . i will stick with the first one and and try to forget i ever saw the sequel . | 0neg |
the original movie and man from snowy river and be one of the best i have see and nearly perfect . a lady and the tramp storyline in two sens rich girl or poor boy and and ability vs. bloodline . the sequel and however and be not only a shameless attempt to capitalize on the good name of the original but also a ridiculous and overblown disneyfied mess best summarize a rambo meet the black stallion . without the charm of the black stallion . the young hero come back from a 3 year absence and and suddenly he superman on horseback while in the original and good film and he be real and believable and but sadly reduce to a caricature in the sequel . i have hardly be a disappoint in a movie and and at time this thing make me quite angry they miss hardly a cliché . brazen audience manipulation do studio head think that all you have to do with a horse love audience be put pretty horse in front of them and to make them happy . a mess of a movie . | 0neg |
this film and like the first one ( the man from snowy river ) have the same good and bad feature and perhaps even more so than the original . unfortunately and the bad outweigh the good . the good magnificent scenery and good than the first film . i love those high country shot in australia . tom burlinson be still a likable guy and a jim craig . bruce rowland do a nice job with the music and too . the bad once again we get an extremely obnoxious feminist heroine jessica ( sigrid thornton ) who be a world class pouter with an extremely annoying face and manner about her . in this film and we also get a big downgrade in who pay the father . previously it be kirk douglas and now replace by the always profane brian dennehy . speaking of that and it be a disgrace that a walt disney film would include usage of the lord name in vain . that be one reason be almost totally down the tube in the 1980s . this film and like the first one . | 0neg |
i buy this adaptation because i really like anne brontë novel when i read it some time ago and usually particularly enjoy bbc drama . but i be very disappointed and i never think it would be as bad a that represent the whole series make me laugh much more than move me a the novel have . first of all and the music ( and song ) seem totally out of place in a period drama ( sound a if it be write for a contemporary horror film ) and like another commentator and i be particularly annoy by the way the camera spun and spun round the actor . i have see some scene film that way in north and south and it seem all right there but in the tenant and it definitely overdone and simply annoy . camera movement can not make wooden act lively . most of the second role be difficult to distinguish at first and the script lack clarity . none of the character be properly introduce at first . the little boy give a very good performance and he very cute and the best feature of the film . spoiler tara fitzgerald characterisation of helen graham make her appear cold and harsh and let no emotion pas through . she doesn not seem to be able to cry at all in a realistic way . i just couldn not believe markham could have fell for her and i be not mention the awful hairdo she be give . i could not help feel some sympathy with her husband . fancy be marry to such a virago . besides and he be the only main actor that sound right to me . toby stephen i find just ok and helen graham brother not very good . maybe it difficult to adapt a novel that deal with such bleak subject a alcoholism and cruelty . besides and what be only hint at and leave to the reader imagination in the book be dwell upon with complaisance in the tv adaptation represent make some scene both gross and comic and ( like when huntingdon eye start bleed ) and others far too sexed up for a period drama . i mean and do not we get enough of those bed scene in contemporary drama . | 0neg |
brilliant book with wonderful characterization and insight into human nature and particularly the nature of addiction and which still resonate strongly today . a for the movie . eh . nothing special . the cameraman clearly have an unfortunate addiction to circling and circling and circle around everything and make the viewer quite nauseous . why the director do not put a stop to this be beyond me but maybe he be too busy try and and somehow failing and to draw good performance from these normally excellent but inappropriately cast actor . all in all and a weak adaptation . your three hour would be good spent reading ( or re reading ) the book . | 0neg |
before i go on i have to admit to be a huge bon jovi fan . in fact thats what attract me to the dvd case in the first place . i probably would have buy it anyway be such a big horror fan and have enjoy the first vampire title so much . but this isn not half a good . not even jon could save this film for me . my main problem would be that it simply isn not scary . apart from jon character derek bliss none of the other character make an impression and you couldn not care less whether they die or not and especially the annoy vampire or drug addict woman . the female vampire simply isn not scary or sexy . rather she look like an anorexic 14 year girl and no wonder she be so desperate for blood then . another huge problem be that everything be just too bright . there be no atmosphere or sense of dread . i know the first vampire be set in new mexico wasn not exactly the twilight zone in term of creepiness but yet it still manage to be dark and forebode when it need to be . this film have no tension like that . the story be basically the same a before . vampire want berzier cross to be able to walk in daylight . however the story have less cool bit this time . there be no wow factor in know this be the master of all master the original vampire and a in the first film . you really do not care who or what this one be . there be no army of master . instead she hide out in some old ruin which look more like a disneyland attraction then a creepy temple . so there you have it really . lack of scare and lack of atmosphere and lack of interesting story . a real let down for me personally . | 0neg |
really bad movie and the story be too simple and predictable and poor acting a a complement . this vampire hunter story be the bad that i have see so far and derek bliss ( jon bon jovi ) and travel to mexico in search for some blood sucker . and he use some interesting weapon ( but nothing compare to blade ) and and be part of some van helsig vampire hunter net . and ok and but he work alone . he assign to the pursuit of a powerful vampire queen that be search some black crucifix to perform a ritual which will enable her to be invulnerable to sunlight ( be almost a sequel of vampire ( 1998 ) direct by john carpenter and star by james wood ) and derek start his quest in the search of the queen with some new friend represent sancho ( diego luna and really bad act also ) a teenager without experience and father rodrigo ( cristian de la fuente ) a catholic priest and zoey ( natasha wagner ) a particular vampire and ray collins ( darius mccrary ) another expert vampire hunter . so obviously in this adventure he isn not alone . you can start feel how this movie would be just look at his lead actor ( jon bon jovi ) while be a huge difference in the acting quality compare to james wood and and then and if you watch the film ( i do not recommend this part ) and you will get involve in one of the more simple story and totally predictable and with terrible act performance and really bad special effect and incoherent event . i deeply recommend not to see this film . and rent another movie and see another channel and go out with your friend and etc . negative . | 0neg |
listen to the director commentary confirm what i have suspect whilst watch the film represent this be a movie make by a guy who want to play at make a movie . the plot be the kind of thing that delude teenager churn out when theyre go through that i could write a book or screenplay or award win sitcom phase . there a germ of an interesting idea bury in there ( probably because it a sequel to some one else movie ) and but it be totally bury under an underwritten and badly execute and laughably un think out script . the line be dire and and the performance be un engaging and though again and i be incline to blame the director . he do not appear to have consult the actor at all about what be require and rather plonk the script in their hand and point the camera at them and tell them to get on with it . who know and with a little coaching and these actor could have acquit themselves good ( say what you like about musician in movie and jon bon jovi be excellent in row your boat and more than acceptable in the lead man ) . a it stand and the cast have no chemistry whatsoever . a beautiful opportunity to use the classic sex and vampirism parallel be pass up when and in order to infect bon jovi character with vampire blood from his ail co hunter and he be give a transfusion . she should have bite him . mind you and they should have look vaguely interested in each other throughout the rest of the film too . the only real moment of sexual tension and between the two female lead and be by the director own admittance accidental . he have originally intend to use this silent sequence a an excuse for more pointless plot exposition so and i suppose the finished product could have conceivably be bad . but not a lot . frankly and a movie go and this be badly plot and silly and forgettable . even a trashy movie go it not sexy enough or gory enough to be entertain . it could have be a fun and bloody little romp and but the director have leave with more of a comedy and for all the wrong reason . | 0neg |
this be not a good film . the acting be remarkably stiff and unconvincing . the film doesn not seem to know whether it be go for a real horror approach or to go down the camp and kitsch route . i never saw the first film but this one doesn not stand up on it own merit and there be several unconvincing plot twist and the viewer be never make aware of the importance of the lead female vampire . not worth the effort of watch . | 0neg |
first of all and jon bon jovi doesn not seem to be in place in a vampire movie . together with the other not so interesting character and the poor storyline the whole movie become predictable . if you keep that in mind and youre a total vampire movie fan and you can have some fun with a few of the scene . don not expect any tarantino style chapter here and neither an anne rice storyline . ( i expect to have have forget the whole movie by tomorrow while ) . | 0neg |
hi folksforget about that movie . john c. should be ashamed that he appear a executive producer in the credit . bon jovi have never be and will never be an actor and the fx be a joke . the first vampire be good . and it be the only vampire . this thing here just wear the same name . just a waste of time think . jake scorpio . | 0neg |
this movie isn not very good . it boring and and not much blood for a horror film . the plot just trods along with not much happening . and i think the female vampire be so stupid . she have many chance to kill the vampire hunter since it show her have light like reflex . but and whenever she have one of them pin and she just take her time and something always happen where she doesn not bite them . no wonder this go straight to cable . final verdict represent not anywhere near as good a the first vampire movie . youre a sucker if you waste your time on this . | 0neg |
this movie be mess up . a sequel to john carpenter vampire and this do not add up right . i be not sure that i enjoy this much . it be a little strange . stick to the first vampire and it a good movie . vampire represent los muetos wasn not a good attempt of a sequel . 4/10 . | 0neg |
the last reviewer be very generous . i quiet like the first movie and but can not say i enjoy this one very much . the beginning be bearable and but it go downhill pretty quickly . i just do not see jon bon jovi a a bad as vampire hunter and the vampire princess be neither sexy nor scary . a lot of the scene just do not make sense . i mean any normal person would suspect something be up when a strange woman suddenly appear out of nowhere to seduce you and let alone an experienced hunter . why una be able to communicate with jovi . nothing be ever explain in this movie and you wouldn not mind if it be entertain and but that be too much to ask . this have to be one of bad vampire movie i have see . | 0neg |
ugh and what can i say other than and ugh . i rent this film because it be label a a sequel to the original vampire . this movie could not have be any lamer . lack not only in plot and but the acting be atrocious . combine with some obvious plot hole make this movie a very hard one to watch . many time i question my own sanity at continue to watch the film long after the plot have jump the shark . here a sampling of the lamer aspect . spoilersprofessional slayer insists on sleep outdoors by himself at night . he wake up to a woman cry and sit no more than 3 foot from him in the middle of nowhere . he immediately go to comfort her without question her sudden appearance . she go from cry to seduce him and and he let it happen with obvious result . one of the main character be zoe and be bite by a vampire and but as long a she take these experimental pill she get in mexico city and she fine and although her body temperature be below room temperature . guard outside of monastery where hero be stay the night be kill by vampire and hero leave the next day . he then return a day later only to be surprise that the vampire attack the monastery the night after he leave . avoid this movie . | 0neg |
i only rent this because i love the first movie . however and call it john carpenter vampire represent los muertos be just a con trick to get you to rent it . he be in fact executive producer and clearly have nothing to do with the making of this film ( jeepers creeper anyone . ) a tragic storyline and terrible special effect and jon bon jovi a the least convincing vampire hunter of all time . it not even comically bad . what we end up with be a dull and uninvolving film with a terrible script and indefinsibly bad and clichéd acting . it just reek of low budget . avoid like the bubonic plague . | 0neg |
john carpenter career be over if this sad excuse for a movie be any indication . his excuse be that he only produce it . jon bon jovi look like a girl . in fact and bon jovi and the two vampire girl and natasha wagner and arly jover probably all fit in the same clothes . in short and it be hard to tell which one be cuter in an anorexic ramp model sort of way . bon jovi have the most charisma . at least he look happy when he be smile . the two vampire girl on the other hand be all cramp and complaint . at one point they be about to give each other a wet kiss and but stop . amazing how each vampire movie have some set of moray for the respective vampire . at one point and arly jover be provide fellatio to a very dumb vampire hunter and then she suck his blood while do the sex act . it would have be an erotic moment except that it be film like a total goof and and the male actor look mildly amuse a he watch arly jover move her head to mimic something that be very obviously not happen . as far a gore be concern and a few head be rip off and and the blood spurt profusely . these scene have so little suspense or build up that when they happen it be almost funny and and there be no horror pay off from the scene . all you get a a member of the audience be a feeling of wow and that sure be a lot of red paint splatter on the wall . i wonder who have to clean it up . throughout the movie and these vampire hunter who be obviously try to kill arly jover ( the top vampire in the world . ) keep reach out to her . at one point and bon jovi go into the abandon church and after he just shoot her with an arrow ( and have do so on other occasion ) and he say i be not try to hurt you . i just want to talk to you . i want to get to know you . huh . of course and the dumb vampire arly jump out to say hello and bon jovi stick her again with another impale device . why can not we be friends the 1970s hit song by war should have be the theme song for this movie . aside from all of the other silly moment and there be a transfusion sequence when natasha wagner have all her vampire blood remove and and the town people all line up to donate blood for her transfusion . i guess blood type be not important . anyhow and all her vampire blood be remove . bon jovi then decide that if that blood be transfuse into him and he can beat arly by become a vampire also . of course and a the vampire blood be transfuse into him and none of his healthy blood be remove . so apparently bon jovi be walk around with twice as much blood a any human can have in his body . and just like the first vampire and this one also have the vampire burst into flame special effect . | 0neg |
thanks for kill the franchise with this turkey and john carpenter and tommy lee wallace . this movie suck on so many level it pathetic . the first vampire be fun and but this low budget retread make me yawn . jon bon jovi ( the poor man kevin bacon ) drive around mexico with a surfboard housing a hidden compartment hold his vampire kill gear ala antonio banderas guitar case in desperado . he pick up some lame hunter along the way ( include an annoyingly feminist infected girl who take pill to keep from turn into a vampire ) and and they set out to stop some female master vampire who be give no backstory and so we could care less about her or her quest ( to walk in the sunlight by steal the black cross and perform a ritual to allow her to do so ) . if you have see the first vampire and you have already see this and and do much well . john carpenter have be responsible for a lot of bad movie lately . frankly and i think he past his prime and incapable of make another horror classic . the only decent film he do since they live ( 1987 ) be vampire . everything else be complete crap and right up until the unbelievably cheap look and retarded ghost of mar . and now this waste of celluloid . where be more great like assault on precinct 13 and halloween ( 1 ) and escape from new york and the thing . carpenter crony wallace prove he can not write his way out of a paper bag with his paper thin script pack with yawn and groan and recycle gag from the original . do i mention i hat every character in the movie . there be not a single memorable character in the whole film . how do that happen . this film have nothing to recommend it . not even the dvd presentation be good while the menu look awful . by comparison and jason x represent friday the 13th in space be a masterpiece . now that be how you make a sequel and ( re ) energize a franchise and lady and germ and as well a create an exciting dvd menu . | 0neg |
this debut today on the scifi channel and all i can say be i be speechless i tap it today so i could watch it tonight after work . i have high hope and now i be tear apart the closet look for a length of rope so i can hang myself . possibly the bad movie i have ever see . i wish i could say something nice like it be fun to make fun of this movie but this movie be give me nothing to work with . i know you be not suppose to post spoiler here with out prior warning but i be go to anyway this movie suck there i say it . they should show this flick to film student to show them what not to do . my nine year old niece could make a good film . the only decent thing about this film be the sound and or or sound track . oh . i just find a rusty c clamp in my old tool box . i be go to put it on the thumb of my left hand and tighten it until the pain erase the memory of what my eye have see . i could just tape over this vhs but i think i will burn it in the fire pit instead . i could wash with soap but i fear i will never be clean again . christmas be come . buy this movie and give it to people you hate . mike . | 0neg |
this movie be one of the most awful movie ever make . how can jon bon jovi play in a movie . he be a singer not an actor and what . be he kill vampire with his guitar . and what about the dreadful plot . o my god this movie really suck . in the end be the queen of vampire play by the eternal vampire arly jover ( blade ) surround by an army of vampire and but when the fantastic slayer arrive only 4 vampire be leave . what happen with the other 10 15 vampire . they run out in the sun . and what about the grand finally when bon jovi blow her head with a shotgun . that really a not . in buffy the vampire slayer in 100 episode not a single vampire be kill with a shotgun . this really be a lack of originality . | 0neg |
this movie be very very mediocre and very very gory . everyone leave their acting lesson at home and totally forget how to act i mean it be so bad and have no real plot and kindergartener could have write a good story plot wait what story plot . not at all scary . | 0neg |
the same difficulty i have with the musical version of le miserables applies equally to oliver . instead of the composer write in the stylistic period of the play setting and they merely write broadway type melody and which be historically unidiomatic and stylistically skewed . too and the blatant brutality and unsavory activity of the dramaturgy do not mix well with some of the sunny ditty which permeate the score . it a uncomfortable mixture that leave a decidedly sour undertaste . the casting of the boy oliver doesn not help matter represent tentative of timbre and vexingly precious and there something less than solid here . fagin perform his traditional routine adequately and though the tune he oblige to sing have little basis in period manner . as long a he need me be give a strident rendition and throaty and strain . the two big production number and who will buy and consider yourself seem over produce and with everything but the kitchen sink throw in . it one thing to go all out and yet another to cross over the line into excess . the gloom and despair and depravity of much of the novel do not seem to lend itself to such ditty and choreography . while the novel be consider a classic and i must confess i have trouble with mr. dickens consciousness and in that his work tend to emit a negative vibration . this may be due to the extension of his joyless personal life and which be full of disappointment and regret . not all the combined talent of this production and either on or behind camera and can overcome the unconstructive nature of the basic material . all this result in an uncomfortably downer experience for me . | 0neg |
the producer make a big mistake cast mark lester and who couldn not act or sing and in the title role . aside from his very bad acting and all of lester singing have to be dub by a girl . i do not know why they cast him at all and since there would have be so many boy who could have play the part infinitely well and do their own singing as well . shani wallis be far too old to play nancy and who be only suppose to be 16. the current west end version be so much good than the movie in every way . ross mccormack be the best artful dodger of all time and he be certainly far well look than jack wild ever be . it be clearly political to award this old fashioned musical so many oscar after the tumultuous event of 1968 . | 0neg |
must every good story be improve with added corny broadway music . apparently those who can not come up with their own plot think that classic literature be just there for the plundering . i confess that oliver twist and similar story be not my favorite and a it be certainly true that dickens often write thing that leave you considerably bum out and and this be a great example of just that . so of course and take this serious tale and add nauseating music and camp it up with every character from prance orphan boy to mince bobby and suddenly it uplift . argh . fetch me a basin . the four star in my rating come from cast and which i could liken to that of my fair lady . each of these film have a cast that a play version could be proud of and but then they must go and have them sing ( see complaint above ) . unlike my fair lady and those sing here could actually do so and they mercifully spar u the singing voice of oliver reed ( pardon if i be mistake and it be a while ) . my big complaint i have state . why embarrass everyone except the truly shameless by put silly song into a perfectly good story . seldom have this be do to good effect . generally it ruin the story . it do with this one . jury still out on whether this story be worth save and but with all that gad about and it impossible to tell . | 0neg |
i like musical but a a dickens fan i hate this one . mild spoiler starve boy who have enough energy to sing and dance in the workhouse . the poor of london come out to sing . fagin and dodger walk off into the sunset . not exactly faithful to the novel . a i recall and dodger be publicly hang and fagin go crazy in prison . end of spoilersoliver reed be very weak a sykes and do little more than growl to indicate his evil . worst however and be mark lester a oliver and who often come across so awkward and passive you wonder if he really the main character . his portrayal be in no way help by the fact that the best they could do when he sing be dub in the voice of a girl . guess they do not realize that boy treble can be find in almost every church in england . self respect dickens fan represent stick to david lean amazing 1948 film or the bbc 6 hour adaptation from the mid 80 . avoid this bloated whitewash of a musical . | 0neg |
well and i saw this movie yesterday and it unfortunately bad than you could think . first of all the plot be idiotic and it have no sense at all . the screenplay be full of intentionally funny dialogue . the audience be laugh many time . and the suspense be very low . actor play so so and with an exception of sharon stone and who have some good moment but also some awfully bad act moment . the sad part be when she try to be aggressively sexy and say thing like i want to beep you and it look like and let say it gently and a very very mature woman act rude and not sexy at all . that erotic tension from bi1 be totally go . from the technical point of basic instinct 2 be a mediocre movie well than typical straight to dvd and but on a far low lever than the original movie . for instance the scene of crazy joyride be do poorly . the director of basic instinct 2 be no paul verhoeven and it show . the new composer be no jerry goldsmith and it show . the script be do by people who be no match for joe eszterhas . there no substitute for michael douglas in it . the film look cheap and badly edit at time . i be sorry but my first think after i leave the theater be represent why heaven not they make this movie earlier and with original talent behind the success of the first movie . all to all the original movie be like citizen kane compare to this . the first basic instinct be a classic and be a kind of break thru in the popular cinema . it be provoke and sexy and controversial . it have the best sharon stone performance in her career . it have this specific paul verhoeven style . unfortunately basic instinct 2 be a unintentionally funny movie and badly direct and a sure razzie award winner in many category . it a pity that they make this film . | 0neg |
it not like i have overwhelmingly fond memory of verhoeven original pant down shocker it always strike me a a glossy and well make airport novel of a movie . thrilling and sexy trash and but trash nonetheless . it be also a film that tap into a certain sexual zeitgeist . after a decade of anti sex aid induce hysteria and a film about a wildly sexual hotbod who thrill kill to heighten her sexual pleasure be pretty entice stuff . basic instinct 2 be always go to struggle to provide the same social relevance and immediacy and so the fact that it desperate attempt at raunchiness be so lame can sort of be overlook . all it really have to provide be that thin veneer of titillation and a mildly engaging story and all would have be watchable . that it resoundingly fail on so many level and and in such a way to be a career nadir for everyone involve and be really quite extraordinary to watch . let state the obvious for starter sharon stone be too old for the part of sexual magnet catherine trammell . what be so photogenic thru verhoeven lens look like mutton dress a lamb in the hand of gun for hire michael caton jones and who flat and drab colour and static camera render her undeniable beauty totally moot . i like sharon stone a lot and but if the first film launch her career and bi2 could kill it . she have no chemistry with stuffed shirt david morrissey their only sex scene be embarrass too watch . his dough face mamma boy of a character make me yearn for the swaggering and orange skin machismo of michael douglas . support turn by david thewlis and charlotte rampling waste these fine actor on talky exposition scene and cliché heavy posturing . and what of the much tout sexual shenanigan . poorly lit and fleetingly glimpsed and a utterly mainstream a an episode of desperate housewife the european sensibility that verhoeven bring to the sexual content of the first film be sorely miss . don not watch this film for carnal thrill there be none and what there be be tragic . the film be and a a whole and convolute to the point of utter confusion and boring and laughable . the last 40 minute in particular and where you come to the realisation that the film be and in fact and not go to go anywhere of interest at all and be particularly gruelling and hilarious in equal measure . a a failed sequel and basic instinct 2 will come to occupy similar cinematic ground a exorcist 2 the heretic and beyond the poseidon adventure and xxx2 . a a vanity project and it rival battlefield earth in it misconception . a a multi million dollar piece of hollywood film making and it a travesty that will be hard to top a the year worst . | 0neg |
i saw this film at the london premiere and and i have to say i do not expect much and but i do expect something that be at least mildly entertaining . the original basic instinct be no great film and be still something of a smut classic but it be entertain . i can recall countless time flip through channel on tv on a late friday or saturday night have come across the movie and find myself begin to actually pay attention to it . however and this lame brain and waaay belated sequel have nothing . be sharon stone still gorgeous . well and let put it this way for a 47 year old and she pretty hot . be she as beautiful a she be in the original . no . she also have clearly have plastic surgery on her face and and her haircut in this movie be somewhat unappealing . she doesn not look a soft or genuine or innocent a she do in the original which be sort of the whole point of be an evil seductress and and whatnot . the rest of the performance range from bad to terrible and michael caton jones ( a typically safe director one who doesn not always do great work but manage to make worthwhile movie ) have officially deliver his first true turkey while a movie so bad people be laugh at certain moment that be intend to be serious . i hear the film go through multiple editing session and and it very clear from the start . nothing make much sense . the whole plot be a cosmic mess and the end oh my . talk about stupid and unbelievable . ( still predictable and though . ) i saw gigli and i saw son of the mask and although i be not look to smear this film and i can say with my own authority ( which you do not have to agree with at all and mind you ) that i prefer both those film over this catastrophic failure . by the way and stone leave five minute before the movie begin and people in the theater begin throw thing at the screen during a particularly outrageous and insulting scene inside an orgy type nightclub . basic instinct 2 basically and it stink and too . | 0neg |
it be about 14 year since sharon stone award viewer a leg cross that twist many people mind . and now and god know why and she in the game again . basic instinct 2 be the sequel to the smash hit erotica basic instinct feature a sexy stone and a vulnerable michael douglas . however and fan of the original might not even get close to this one and since instinct 2 be painful film making and a the mediocre director michael caton jones assassinate the legacy of the first film . the plot of the movie start when a car explosion break in right at the beginning . catherine tramell ( sharon stone and try to look forcefully sexy ) be a suspect and appear to be involve in the murder . a psychiatrist ( a horrible david morrisey ) be appoint to examine her and but eventually fall for an intimate game of seduction . and there it be and without no further explanation and the basic force that move this instinct . nothing much be explain and we have to sit through a sleazy and c class erotic film . sharon stone star in her first role where she be most of the time a turn off . part of it because of the amateurish writing and the careless direction and and terrifyingly low chemistry . the movie be full of vulgar dialogue and even more sexuality ( a menage a trois scene be cut off so that this wouldn not be rat nc 17 ) than the first entrance in the series . instinct be a compelling torture . to top it off and everything that make the original film a guilty pleasure be not find anywhere in the film . the acting here be really bad . sharon stone have some highlight and but here and she get extremely obnoxious . david morrisey star in the bad role of his life and and seem to never make more than two expression in the movie confuse and arouse . instinct 2 be a horrible way to continue an otherwise original series and that manage to put in thriller with erotica extremely well . paul verhoeven and how i miss you . basic instinct 2 never sound like a good movie and and and indeed and it isn not . some film should never get out of paper and and that be the feeling you get after watch this . now and it be much easy to understand why douglas and david cronenberg drop out and and why sharon stone be expect a huge paycheck for this . negative . | 0neg |
it hard to believe and after wait 14 year and we wind up with this piece of cinematic garbage . the original be a high impact and dark thriller that achieve cult status demonstrate the fine art of cinema a direct by paul verhoeven . this film add nothing and delivers nothing and and ultimately wind up in the big box of failed sequel . the opening sequence could have trigger an intriguing set of plot development use a considerably talented and able cast . unfortunately we be treat to a 90 minute dissertation in the self indulgent life of catherine tramell . or be it sharon stone . possibly a copulation of both . if the desire be too see a continuation of the sensually provocative stying of sex a in b. s. 1 and forget it . you wind up with soft porn boredom which ultimately uphold the old adage that a woman can be more alluring in clothes than out of them . it interest to note that the wonderful charlotte rampling be romp around in her skivvy and via the 1966 georgy girl and when ms. stone be only 8 year old . a very talented actress and quite adept at hold her own even here . if youre a true cinema fan then you must see this film and judge it use your own rating system . if not and you might as well wait for the dvd release in the rat version and unrated version and collector edition and or ultimate version and and perhaps in another 14 year we will be saturate with news of basic instinct 3 at which point ms. stone will be 62 year old and nobody will really care . | 0neg |
in my book basic instinct be a perfect film . it have outstanding act on the part of stone and douglas and all the support actor to the tiny role . it have marvelous photography and music and the noirest noir script ever . all of it add up to a film that be as good a it will ever get . this sequel be the exact opposite and it can not possibly get bad and bad acting and a lame script and combine with totally inept direction and this be really bad and boring and annoy . the only thing that somewhat keep you concentrate be the relatively short wait for the next scene that be an exact re enact copy of the original . these copy be so bad they make you laugh and i laugh a lot in spite of myself and because it be like watch the demolishing of a shining monument . the only thing that be good in this horrible mess be the excerpt of the jerry goldsmith score of bi1 . michael caton jones and the half wit responsible for the script even include the there be no smoking in this room dialog in the interrogation scene and yes she send her attorney ( who be now a solicitor ) away . i be sorry i have see this awful film that should have never be make . it do damage to the original and so bad be it . the only redeeming value be the realization that cosmetic surgery ( and i be sure m stone afford the best surgeon money can buy ) can do a good job but can obviously not restore the perfection of the original . and what concern the human body applies to film making and too . there should be a law represent don not ever make a sequel to a perfect film . | 0neg |
the film be pretty confuse and ludicrous . the plot be awful . but on the plus side the acting be pretty good and with a few good shout and rant . sharon stone be ok this time . not even half as good a the original mind you . the murder aren not as gory a the first one either and which be a shame . it not the unpredictable mess everyone say it be though . the sex be pretty graphic at time while others it be clear it be fake ( they be fully clothe ) . the script be weak most of the time and but the scene with banter and argument between dr. glass and washburn be highlight . the plot twist a few time and but the end be awful . the tension be always constant with a huge dollop of oh my god . the chase sequence be brilliantly direct and and shot and camera angle be impressive and bring a bit of class to an otherwise and rush felt film . sharon stone be a bit old for this too . the bit where we see her breast be and in the first one and delight . this time around and they be too horrid to describe . the film it self be rather average and but it be worth a go . mainly because the film do deserve some good buzz . with the opening sequence be a highlight . not to be critical and but if you like the first one leave this one . don not ruin the run . you will be glad you leave this stone unturned . | 0neg |
this film be awful . the screenplay be bad and the be script mediocre and and even the sex scene be worthless . the thrill and intrigue of the original film be completely lack . this movie be shoot in a dark and shadowy and monochromatic style ( a la war of the world ) and which be so disappointing after the beauty of the original film . greg morrisey brood character display one facial expression throughout the film . the twist and turn of the original plot be woefully lack here while the few that do exist be simply anticlimactic . the only highlight be sharon stone performance a catherine tramell and faithfully continue in this sequel and but it isn not enough to make up for the other shortcoming . the only circumstance under which a basic instinct 3 should be make would be if michael douglas agrees to join the cast . | 0neg |
after eagerly wait to the end and i have to say i wish i wouldn not have join the whole series at the first place . the final episode be everything against the previous seven year . it have ruin everything . the journey be 23 year and but captain janeway have the power to reduce it . let say and seven year only . why seven . why not just one . or nothing . why not avoid the whole adventure . crewmemebers be die all along the journey . why she want to save seven of nine only . the others do not count or what . the most ridiculous part when the crew state that get home be not really the most important thing to them . a the say and journey be more important than the destination . unbelievable . and at the finale scene the be surround by other federation ship and the earth be in sight . nothing about landing and return to the normal life . bad end ever . | 0neg |
i sit through almost one episode of this series and just couldn not take anymore . it felt a though i would watch dozen of episode already and and then it hit me . there nothing new here . i have hear that joke on seinfeld and i saw someone fall like that on friend and an episode of happy day have almost the same storyline and ect . none of the actor be interest here either . some be good on other show ( not here ) and and others be new to a profession they should have never enter . avoid this stinker . | 0neg |
