Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

tdrish You have to understand something, and get this straight in your noggin...just because a movie was made doesn't mean that the crew knew what they were doing when they made it. Period! This is the case with 100 Tears, which is so horribly bad and awful, that you have to love or laugh at the fact that at least they tried to make a slasher movie with twice the body count as your average slasher flick. Body count? Over 30, check! The rest of the movie? Overlook the bad lighting, cruddy story line, bad casting, horrible choreography, and endless line of errors with the film, and you're in for a lot of fun! We got a demented clown on the loose, and he likes to go around swinging his giant meat cleaver at various parts of the body. Heads are cut vertically and horizontally in half, guts are spilled, and gallons of blood is shed. Now, you don't have to watch this. Personally, I would question the sanity of any one who would want to sit through this shart of a movie. It should satisfy gorehounds, but that's about it. What doesn't work, however, is the nutty azz investigation with the detectives, and for three reasons. Reason 1: No detective would go after a bloodthirsty clown with a weapon like that. Let the FBI deal with this matter, you just stick with the crime lab. Reason 2: No detective would investigate a crazed clown without a weapon of their choice, which is the case with these goons. So if your expecting a shoot out at the end, you will be disappointed. ( You'll be disappointed by the ending anyway, trust me.) Reason 3: It's barely even an investigation! There's no forensics, nothing! Detectives are so useless, I'd lay them off, at least that way, they would be safe from this lunatic clown that makes IT look like a Disney Jr character. So, if you want to be branded for life, have at it with this goofy horror flick. But, I will say again, don't say you weren't warned about the ending. ( As far as the beginning, you won't have to wait long for the blood to spill.)

Michael_Elliott 100 Tears (2007) ** (out of 4) Two journalist want to break away from their tabloid trash so they decide to start investigating a serial killer. It turns out this killer is a clown who is still seeking vengeance over being accused of a crime he didn't commit. What the journalist don't realize is that there might be someone else helping.100 TEARS has a minor cult following among certain horror fans that want to seek out low-budget movies that have incredibly gory special effects. If you're looking for a Hollywood type of horror film then you'll certainly want to stay away from this thing but if you're looking for a type of film that rarely gets made any more than director Marcus Koch's bloodbath will have you smiling from ear to ear.It should go without saying but the main draw is going to be the special effects, which have people being slaughtered in a variety of ways with all sorts of blood and guts being splashed around. People are chopped in two. Others are decapitated. Some are lucky and only have legs and arms chopped off. Bodies are gloriously mutilated in countless ways here and the practical special effects are certainly a breath of fresh air when you consider that CGI has taken over Hollywood and even direct-to-video material. The effects aren't always believable but it's still fun seeing actual work in front of your eyes. Without question if you're a gore fan then this is a film for you.The story itself isn't all that original but at the same time I liked the fact that they tried to tell a story and didn't just go for all gore. With that said, the film runs about twenty minutes too long so some editing would have helped things. I thought Georgia Chris was good enough in the lead role and Joe Davison adds some nice laughs as well. Jack Amos makes for a good killer and Raine Brown also does her role justice.100 TEARS is a gory, blood and ultra-violent film that fans of such films should enjoy.

trashgang I often go to Germany. There are some interesting labels that release horror DVD's. X Rated is one, famous for their hard boxes and other labels bringing out full uncut versions with beautiful covers. Those covers really work, sometimes they are more violent than the movie itself but here with 100 Tears it isn't. Somehow the movie is connected with Germany. Raine Brown appeared in Barricade, a German splatter. Most of those German splatters are only released in the US. Whatever the circumstances may be concerning the relation between the two countries. This one sure delivers the gory stuff. It's splatter from start until the end. The only let down are the parts with the midget, to much blah blah but it is necessary to tell the story about the clown. Not all acting is convincing luckily they are brutally killed. Some say the ending is a bit weak but for me it wasn't. The relation between father and daughter, you will figure it out, is maybe weak and what is happening between them too but the last minute is pure fun. If you haven't got enough the German release also has a part of deleted scene's were there is more gore to watch. And there is an alternative ending too given the opportunity for 100 Tears 2. So if you like German splatter watch it, otherwise just leave it as it is.

dschmeding This is a pretty average horror/slasher movie. I grant the makers they squeezed in a lot of kills and especially fans of decapitations and guts will like it. The movie is about a serial killer in a clowns outfit who slashes people by the dozen with his hack-axe. Two detectives are on the hunt for the "teardrop killer" who leaves bloody tears behind on the murder scenes and got a back story they slowly unfold. Its like two plots running along each other... Clown slashes people with some entertaining ideas (liked the wheelchair down the stairs shot) and the detectives uncover the story with real bad acting. Basically the movie should have concentrated on the gore because this is where its strong side lies... the acting is real bad, the music is annoying (always the same hardcore techno over the kills and one music sounds a lot like being taken directly out of Hellraiser). The pseudo plot will bore the gore hounds to death and especially fails of bad acting and inconsistency. "100 tears" is rather for the trash/splatter fans but I guess because the director couldn't decide which way to go this one will soon be forgotten. And BTW... the closing scene sucks and like in many movies made me think they didn't know how to get out of their scripts mess.
