Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
TheLittleSongbird Have an appreciation for horror and the concept was kind of interesting. So although expectations were far from high, considering the general standard of low budget films seen recently, part of me was hoping that 'Killer Ink' would be at least tolerable.There are definitely worse films than 'Killer Ink', of the horror genre and overall, and it is not even close to being one of the worst, let alone the worst, low budget films seen recently. That on the other hand doesn't make it good, it does far too little with the potential it had in the concept and it is little more than mediocre. There is little engaging and it is cheesy as sin. 'Killer Ink's' best component was Robert LaSardo, who is frighteningly intimidating. There was something somewhat ominous about the music and it does occasionally give a suspenseful touch. Some nice shots here and there too that have some stylishness and atmosphere, though they're too far and between. Sara Fabel is also credible and gives a lot to her performance, despite having a less than realistic character.Sadly, that is pretty much the only praise to give. The pace very badly lumbers, which really makes the film dull, and it is not always easy to figure out what is going on because the story is just so thin, predictable and tonally weird. The lack of any atmosphere, let alone tension and suspense, is a hindrance as is the over-stretched length with such a thinly plotted story. Then there is the incredibly bad writing. Very stilted and induces too often some unintentional laughs. It just sounded silly and clumsy, on top of that too repetitive.Even worse is the acting, with beyond description terrible performances from especially an excruciatingly irritating Claire Garvey. The cliched characters are incredibly annoying and far from interesting or worth caring about, there is no development and the way they behave too often is stupid and illogical.The production values generally look cheap, especially the haphazard editing. The story has nothing engaging, suspenseful or scary, it's just far-fetched to an intelligence insulting degree, incredibly dull due to trying to stretch things out to pad the too long length and just too bland. Anything done to try and spice up the supposedly scary moments came over as overdone and gratuitous. The gore and torture don't shock and is either extreme of sadistic or too soft.Concluding, mediocre but not unwatchable. 4/10 Bethany Cox
laymonite-2 This is no Hostel for a start! If you are after gore, you really won't get any and you REALLY won't care about the characters.There isn't really a plot, other than a pale attempt at making a copy of Hostel without the extremism.We have an odd mix of American and British 'no-ones' visiting Lithuania -we know *nothing* about these people throughout the film. People just constantly shout, become violent and have sex for no reason - there is no reason or realism and the plot is no clearer.This reminded me of a HG Lewis film - with a couple of unemotional gore effects that look like they are from Blood Feast/The 60's.The only good thing I can say is the main tattoo bloke with the beard had some presence.
HorrorOverEverything I'm a gore hound, I have and will always love graphic horror films. So I pretty much knew what I was getting when I went into this film. Wasn't expecting a good story, good acting, etc but I was still a little disappointed.So right off the bat you can tell this is pretty much a lower budget version of hostel, just replace the "Hostel" with a tattoo parlor. It really does copy a lot of aspects of Hostel, even has a group of misfit local kids that don't have much to do with the story just like in Hostel. So I'll try to focus on the things that this does different. One is that we actually have a killer, played by Robert LaSardo, he does a decent job but I just didn't find him creepy or intimating. In fact in the film he comes off as a pretty nice guy and the parts where is suppose to be sinister just seem forced.So outside of LaSardo there isn't really much to say about the cast, all the actors who played the victims were pretty meh but it didn't really matter since the whole point of the film is to watch them die not watch them talk. I think my biggest complaint when it comes to the cast would have to be the character of Uta, played by Sara Fabel. She is just a really corny and unrealistic character, they take the whole "Tough Chick" thing way too far and it really takes from the grittiness of the film.OK so now lets focus on the one good aspect of this flick, and that is the gore. Like I said I am a massive gore hound, and this movie did deliver when it came to that. The kill scenes are pretty brutal and they really don't hold back from showing you everything. The only bad thing is that there really isn't a lot of variety in the killing so it gets kind of dull.Overall this isn't a horrible horror film. It has it's moments but if you are not a fan of gore than this film really won't have much to offer you unless you really want to see some soft-core sex scenes, in which case you would probably be better off watch some skinemax.Not the worst but still not very good 4/10
hr-novakovic Claire Garvey was absolutely awful, worst screams I have ever heard in a horror movie. It was so irritating I muted the movie for few minutes when she was screaming. Mind blowing awful acting from that chick. Rest of the cast was OK, movie in all fairness is solid, nothing special, but not worst either. Fabel and LaSardo are actually pretty good in here. Idea is OK, a bit irritated with British accent and perfect Brit English that people speak (who are supposedly Lithuanian or what not). And word "fuck" is definitely overused :) It's a nice little movie, if you have nothing better to do, watch it, if you miss it you wont regret it either :D
