Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Cindy Wright I was so pleased to find a copy of this film in the bargain bin at Walmart last weekend. I'd been watching my old VHS copy I'd purchased from my local movie rental place in the early 1990s for the last couple of decades. This film was underrated in my opinion. It makes me wonder if it was just never properly marketed in a way that it could find it's audience? Everyone that I've ever shown it to has loved it. The film is the perfect amount of voodoo mysticism, great gore effects, and an entertaining plot all in a beautiful but eerie setting. It contains an extremely talented cast and director. The plot line is very well written. I always hope there is really a place like Tonk's out there and I'll stumble upon it someday.
Scott LeBrun Hunky Michael Bendetti plays Corey Thornton, a young man who receives an inheritance from his late father Noah (Robert Sampson, a.k.a. Dean Halsey in "Re-Animator"). He travels to the family estate in Louisiana, where he gets caught up in local mumbo jumbo involving plans to resurrect the dead and a connection between humans and birds.It's commendable that writer / director David Schmoeller would go to so much trouble to create something different than the usual run of Full Moon product. This is by turns erotic and romantic, with an appealing soft jazz soundtrack by Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan (and on screen appearances by Bryan and Edgar Winter). He injects this with as much flavourful New Orleans atmosphere as he can, and that helps, but the movie is still fairly dull.There's just not that much here to engage the viewer. It moves along at a snails' pace, and none of the characters are all that interesting. The ladies are quite lovely; the plotting involves a nearby brothel named Tonks' where the ladies either look like deceased celebrities, or just might *be* deceased celebrities. There's one that resembles Marilyn Monroe (Holly Butler), and another who claims to be Mary Magdalene (Alex Datcher, 'John Carpenters' Body Bags').Bendetti is somewhat blank in the lead, but the supporting cast - including veterans Sampson, Anjanette Comer ("The Baby"), and Robert Burr ("Ghost Story"), the likable Holly Floria, and the extremely enticing Denise Gentile - comes off reasonably well.Director Schmoeller cameos as the bartender, making use of his talent for spinning a bottle on his finger.Five out of 10.
trashgang I have seen this DVD so many times and last I've seen it cheap so I thought, looks nice. And I remember it being analyzed in an old Fangoria which looks nice. But did I regret it that I bought it. Nothing really happens at all, except a lot of birds you see and I mean real birds. Denise Gentile, playing the main lead is a nice and beautiful girl to watch and I guess that was the main attraction. There is a hand flying around, reminded me of Phantasm. But take a look when it was made. 1992, really a period when horror was not done and on his lowest as it can get. This shows why. There is maybe just 5 minutes of horror in it, the rest is blah blah and seducing each other. Okay, there is a bit of nudity in it but it is all too late. And then there is the score coming right out a cheap porn flick, just even look at the guys playing at a bayou club. One song is played entirely while both main characters are trying to make love. Let's hope that the real netherworld does deliver...I should have known it being a Full Moon (Charles Band!) release.
teadm I actually thought I was in for something interesting during the first few minutes of this film, the section I'll call "the prologue". It was atmospheric and strange enough to hold some promise. Unfortunately, I kept waiting for something to happen for the rest of the movie, and very little does, except for the last 10 minutes when I finally learned what the title really means, and that I had been had, big time. This isn't scary, suspenseful or even erotic as the trailer suggested, the only positive thing I can say about it is that it's well photographed. I certainly expected more from the director of Tourist Trap and the original Puppet Master. Netherworld is an infuriating disappointment.
