Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
jameshayes-88348 This is one of the funniest films of the year, and i'll be goddamned if I don't tell you that.Seems like a horror film, but it's not really. It's kind of a whodunit.Murders keep happening on the film set. And they suspect the editor is in on it.Women get slapped for no reason, but to "keep her in line". There is mad full frontal nudity for no real reason. Male and female.Double talk and triple talk. Flashback with no payoffs. It reminds me of The Naked Gun. If you are expecting a straight horror film, this is not for you.It may not be for everyone, but I thought it was great.
trashgang If you never have seen those old school Italian horrors called Giallo then you will never understand this flick. The way the sound was created (overdubbed?), the score, the editing, the lighting it all referred to the seventies galore of the Italian genre.The story itself is what it should make funny, sometimes it was sometimes it didn't work at all. But overall this flick delivers on gore. The effects are top-notch. But again, it's the story that tears it a bit down. You can refer to those classics but don't exaggerate. After half an hour you have seen it all on that part. So if you aren't into Giallo's then this isn't going to be your thing, for the geeks they will search to all those references made towards the classics, I did, and get lost of the story somehow and that isn't good news. But it contains what makes a good Giallo, the glove, the POV from the knife, the eye stabbing and of course a lot of gratuitous nudity.But the story guys....Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 2,5/5 Effects 4/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0,5/5
Nick Dees As the other reviews have stated this was a tongue and cheek spoof on some older horror genre films. It was well done, and once the movie started the whole theater (Ryerson during TIFF) was in stitches. The acting was on point, the lighting was perfect and the script was right in live with what you would expect. And the effects. What can I say about the effects. they did the job and then some.I really felt like I was watching a movie from the good old days of horror just like I used to watch on Sci Fi theater, and Creature Features on Saturday afternoons.I am pretty sure that if you watch this while having a few drinks and with a couple of friends you guys will have a hoot.
absolute_hunk007 Went to see it @ TIFF, the movie was super funny, lots of gore and sex, cult actors (UDO KIER !!!!)....cant go wrong with that kind of mixthe movie spoofed so many old giallo's (blade of the ripper, your vice is a closed door, the new york ripper, suspiria ), intentional bad acting , bad editing (the irony !!!!), ... makes you realize that the makers must have gone thru a lot of sleazy euro- trash titles to make this one. The soundtrack was amazing ,cinematography was top-notch .However, the movie kinda gets sluggish in the middle (especially act 2), but the ending makes up for it.... Congrats to the ASTRON 6 team... clearly the best movie they have made (also check out father's day and manborg from the same team)....definitely would recommend it to any euro-horror/ giallo fan....
