Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

ggmail This movie must be viewed with an open mind - realizing it is a spoof, I believe - and not to be taken seriously. Carrie Barton (as Sadie Pray) in the blonde wig was just too funny and completely looked different than her pix on this website. I believed her and wanted to see more of her. Even though Carrie's part was small, she continued to be impressive with her subtle portrayal of a character difficult to portray, in that it was a character that could easily be "overdone." While the movie does have some disturbing scenes, overall those scenes were not so objectionable that I turned away. It was funny. I look forward to following her career planned for the future.

clarason-1 This movie is complete garbage. I didn't think it was funny or anything. I could find no redeeming value in this movie at all. Do you think it would be okay for someone to make a movie about a child molester killing kids and raping them? Neither do I, and I also don't think it is okay for them to make a movie where the killer does this to women. When is the world going to wake and realize that this kind of stuff is not okay? This movie supposedly won awards. So did Eminem, the guy who sings about raping his 10 year old sister. Well, I think it is very misogynistic and Hastings should not be carrying this kind of movie. Next time I'll be renting at Blockbuster.

dalbrect Honestly, I was a little surprised when I came here and found that this movie had won a couple of awards. I pulled it off the shelf because I'd read a couple of good reviews on horror web-sites and I'm always up for something a little different. After watching the film, I can't help but think that the praise and the awards come from the fact that it is a decent effort whose low budget rarely shows in the production. With really good horror films a rarity, especially when you discount the teen-beat cash-cow flicks that hollywood cranks out, a movie like Lucky seems better than it really is because at least it tries to do something different, with "natural" actors, without relying on cliches and market research. Still, Lucky doesn't cross the line of cleverness that really would have made this one special. Throwing in a talking dog that helps you and then wants you to kill is the premise that sold me on this film but as it turns out it doesn't deliver. It's ok, with maybe a little too much graphic abuse to women, and you've seen it all before. But hey, at least they tried and if you ever sat around dreaming of making a low-budget horror movie you wouldn't fault yourself by watching Lucky and taking some notes.And now a little bit of commentary that requires spoilers:*SPOILER* The demonic talking dog actually works in this film. They don't use a cartoony voice for the Lucky (which, in the context of the film would have worked since the narrator is a cartoonist) but instead use a velvety, street-savvy voice and this really helps add a sinister edge to the creature. What doesn't work is the fact that the film boils down the hallucinations of a serial-killer which you expect from the first ten-minutes. The evil dog could have been a toaster by the end of this film for all it mattered and that really is too bad. It's not often you get such a silly image of evil in the guise of a cute little dog and when you got it working you have to run with it. A lot of potential lost here.

criterion-1 I saw this at NYC Horror Film Festival and was shocked to read that it won for best feature!!! This film was boring and lackluster and by no means was compelling. I do not see why it is labeled as a horror film. Maybe because it is horrific.
