Mjeteconer Just perfect...
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
drgreenstein This movie fails on all accounts.The script is pathetic. The story is weak and the characters shallow. You couldn't set out to write a B-movie script this bad. The plot is so weak that the framework seems like it's designed for pornography.The cinematography is juvenile. The camera angles are contrived, close-ups are used without good purpose and the lighting always seems artificial. It feels like one never leaves the same simple set.The acting, save Josh Hammond as Dan, is really bad. The actors' deliveries are monotonous. The range of emotions is zero.The men are all beautiful, each one an Adonis, but to what end? Adolescent girls and adolescent gay boys will surely revel in these images but beyond that, there is no artful purpose served by the physiques.I hate to pan someone's work so badly but this movies is truly horrible.
Libretio THE BROTHERHOOD (2000)(UK: I've Been Watching You) Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 (Lomoscope)Sound format: StereoA high school jock (Nathan Watkins) is targeted by the leader of a vampire cult (Bradley Stryker) who needs to transfer his soul into Watkins' body to survive...Following the unexpected success of his gloriously homoerotic horror-thriller VOODOO ACADEMY (2000) - particularly the unrated DVD version - veteran director David DeCoteau (CURSE OF THE PUPPET MASTER, PRISON OF THE DEAD, etc.) Took a commercial gamble and formed his own company - Rapid Heart Pictures - dedicated to the production of low-budget teen movies with a beefcake twist. Unfortunately, their maiden venture is a bust, for several reasons. Firstly, it was shot in less than a week (!), which precludes a certain degree of cinematic flair (despite DeCoteau's wasted use of the 35mm scope format), and the plot is driven by dialogue rather than action - too much dialogue, in fact. Secondly, whereas "Voodoo" overcame numerous plot deficiencies by stripping its hunky cast down to their designer underwear at every given opportunity, THE BROTHERHOOD is a great deal less forthcoming in this regard. Indeed, DeCoteau claims the film's blatant gay undertow is 'accidental', despite the unsubtle narrative device of a monstrous entity which takes the shape of a beautiful young man in order to seduce (figuratively speaking) another equally beautiful young man. Furthermore, the movie contains an eye-popping set-piece in which the two male leads shed their clothes and ravish a young girl who's been hypnotized into submission, though the coverage is focused almost exclusively on the guys themselves...DeCoteau's insistence that his movies cater primarily for teenage girls (contrary to remarks made on the US DVD release of LEATHER JACKET LOVE STORY, where he specifically encourages gay viewers to check out the Rapid Heart catalog) suggests a reluctance to challenge established mainstream parameters. In other words, he's trying to have his cake and eat it by indulging a commercial preoccupation with beautiful young men whilst refusing to pursue the concept to its logical narrative conclusion. In his own defence, DeCoteau argues that many actors - particularly those most suited to this kind of movie - are unwilling to perform nude scenes, though this argument seems particularly bogus. Refusal to do a full-frontal is one thing, but if his actors won't even allow rear-view nude shots, then the likelihood of a daring, sexually unambiguous horror film from this particular stable seems remote, to say the least. Here, for instance, very little attention is lavished on Bradley Stryker's ultra-buff torso, except for a couple of sequences during the latter half of the film, and the equally hunky Donnie Eichar (playing an axe-wielding doorman) remains fully clothed throughout! The movie lacks audacity and courage, in spades.All this would be immaterial, of course, if the production schedule had allowed for a stronger storyline, less reliant on prolonged stretches of mundane dialogue. For all that, however, THE BROTHERHOOD is assembled with a fair amount of professional skill, and most of the acting is fine (Josh Hammond steals everyone's thunder as Watkins' not-so-nerdy sidekick). Teens may enjoy the simplistic storyline and sumptuous young actors, but there's little here to engage a wider audience. Followed by THE BROTHERHOOD 2: YOUNG WARLOCKS (2001).
bighand99-1 Wow. This movie is amazing! I had no idea one man could put so much homoeroticism into one movie! My friend and I rented this movie and realized it was overly gay with hot chicks but with no boob nudity! The movie is great! It is soo bad that it is good. Just watch it. There are three reasons to watch this movie: 1. The main actor says "I'm just kidding" to his roommate like 3 times! This is funny because his stupid jokes are delivered horribly. 2. The main actor is riding his bike and falls on his face, it is unintentionally hilarious! and 3. There is a scene where the main character is in his new gay frat. His roomie is worried about him but only has suspicions that there is something amiss, no actual proof. So he walks up to the security guy at the outside of the fraternity and tries to get in. The dude won't let him in so the roommate, without any idea that these guys are evil, pulls out a pin and stabs the guy in the neck, killing him!!! It is soo funny because the kid basically committed murder because he thought his friend might be hanging out with bad people. It makes no sense. I have tried to rent all of David DeCoteau's movies because they are bad. He loves the cock. And by cock i mean a rooster, not a penis. Oh, and if you haven't seen Big Trouble In Little China, you should see it. It is the best movie ever made.
callow I do like this film. Honestly, I wouldn't watch it otherwise, listening to it on the other hand is a different matter thanks to you shoddy lip synching that went on. It's a traditional good guys versus vampires type flick that I feel hasn't been done justice. Given a decent script, less wooden actors (Barring the guys who play Devon and Chris' roomie) and a slight hint of homosexuality, this film would become a classic instead of a b-movie. This film sits among greats on my shelf, Devon is a great vampire, he is both charismatic and deadly at the same time. The actor brings a great deal of mystery and seductive power to the character. Devon and the Roomie (who's name I can't remember) burn like fire on an otherwise wet film. To be honest I think that it IS a must see, but whether it is a must keep is up to taste.
