Chaos (2005)
Based on an Original Idea?
So can anyone say complete rip off? If you have seen Wes Craven's 1972 film Last House on the Left, then you have pretty much seen this movie. It is almost an exact rip-off from characters to story. There are a couple of things that were added that may make this film be one to watch, but this is totally not an original idea. Even the poster is a ripoff from both the Deranged tag line and The Last house on the Left tagline and nowhere in the credits does it mention Last House or even Virgin Spring, the film that Last House is based on. I know there has to be a copyright infringement buried somewhere with the releasing of this film.
Murder-Set-Pieces (2004)
Story?
OK, so I sat through this movie as part of a double feature for a couple of reasons one was I was really interested and the second was there were promised guests (who did not show) I was interested in seeing. This movie was basically a collage of shots. There was no true story. The characters weren't developed and there were no character or story arcs and nothing or none worth following. The "horror" looked good, but set against nothing I became numb. I knew every girl I saw was pretty much going to die. I thought maybe the little girl would be someone I could have some feeling for, but her character was annoying and stupid and I wanted her to get killed off. Common filmmakers you have to have some one or something that your audience can be invested in to draw and keep their attention in the film.
Blood Feast (1963)
Good story, horrible acting
Blood Feast has been one of the most talked about films. Banned in numerous countries for its violent content. It is from one of the masters of cult films who does a great job in setting up the shots, but it does fall short. The story line is somewhat descent, but the acting is just terrible, which did take some of the fun out of watching the film. This film could have been so much better if the talent was. The Ramses character could have been a bit more developed. We know nothing about him except that he is a caterer. If we learned more about him and his victims the story would have flowed a bit more. No character is truly developed throughout the film so when they are threatened in any way you just get a feeling of whatever where's the next victim.
If you like gore this is a film for you. The body parts look awesome and there is lots of blood.
It is a fun film that should be watched.
Shattered Glass (2003)
great movie
This is a must see movie. It was beautifully acted and directed. Hayden gave a great performance as glass who did anything to make it to the top of journalism. Knowing that this was a true story gave more to the performance. It is definately a must see.
