MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
SnoopyStyle Spoiled princess Madison Penrose (Julianna Guill) wants her sweet sixteen party in the shut down Rollerdome. Ten years previous, it was the site of brutal murders after teens broke in. Charlie Rotter was imprisoned when his daughter Skye (Lauren McKnight) called the cops and they found multiple bodies stored. He is presumed dead when the police transport crashed burning everybody beyond recognition. Now Skye is staying with her aunt Sarah and a freak constantly being picked on. Her only friend is Derek (Matt Angel). Brigg (Chris Zylka) recently broke up with Madison and he's flirting with Skye. When Brigg goes to Madison's party, Skye and Derek decide to crash the party.It's almost a fine little high school TV horror movie. All the classic characters are here. Julianna Guill is a good mean girl. Lauren McKnight is a workable nice girl. Chris Zylka has leading man looks. Matt Angel isn't good enough as the funny sidekick. Most everybody else is amateur night. There are way too many montages in the high school. There are too many waste of time moments in the first half.Once they start the party, it improves markedly. The kills are pretty good, and it does have the old fashion killer with a mask. That part does have its fun. The girl with the fire extinguisher is a good solid kill. I wish they could raise the horror atmosphere more in between the kills. The final section is pretty good with a pretty good resolution.
Jimmy Collins Trashy horror films, trashy teen films and TV movies are all guilty pleasures of mine, and this is all three rolled into one. My Super Psycho Sweet 16 is probably the greatest title, this film is good because it knows what it is and plays on it, it's not trying to be serious and I say full props to the filmmakers for just doing something fun that doesn't need to be taken seriously.I have a severe phobia of teenagers so seeing these gross humans being knocked off one by one is quite enjoyable, I did however really like the main character Skye, her story is actually very cool, her father was a nut job who killed a bunch of kids and the place where he killed them is the setting for the sweet 16 birthday, is he the killer? Is it Skye's new love interest, you'll be guessing the entire movie.Obviously the entire cast are teenagers of only just out of their teens so the acting is what you would expect, but it all just adds ti the campiness if the whole thing. The only person who I recognize is Chris Zylka from the recent Ka-Boom, his cliché good looks are what is griping his career I'm sure.The only bad thing I would say about this movie is that the killing starts too Kate in the film, it could have begun a bit sooner, if this were a serious film it would really work against it but it doesn't, it's only a minor thing.A cool slasher film that is like Halloween meets I Know What You Did Last Summer. Lots of fun. :)
IrishClover5487 I was pleasantly surprised by this film. MTV occasionally pulls through and makes a really enjoyable movie. Not too much gore, but just enough to make a good slasher flick. The main character is really personable and is a pretty decent little actress. As most of us do, I really hate that god awful "My Super Sweet 16" show and this movie does a great job making fun of that while still keeping on track with it's original slasher movie idea. The biggest issue I had with this movie was that when it ended I wanted more. I felt like it should have been longer with perhaps more killing, but I'm a little morbid. All in all it's definitely worth seeing and the premise is great. Happy viewing!!!
ersinkdotcom What a great promotional ploy. Take the premise of one of your most possible television "reality" series, mix it with the popular PG-13 teen-safe slasher genre, and release it the weekend before Halloween. I've got to admit, when it comes to shamelessly plugging itself and leading teens wherever they want them to go and to listen to whatever they want you to, MTV has it figured out. Do I sound like an old man? Of course I do. The sad part is I'm alright with it now, where about three years ago I wasn't.My Super Psycho Sweet Sixteen starts out mildly promising with a pretty cool killing scene and a kind of "flashback" to the mid 90's to establish what happened in the roller-skating rink that the bratty teen wants reopened and remodeled for her big sixteenth birthday bash. Right off the bat, you definitely hope for the horrible death of the girl and her pathetic father who caters to her every whim. Like I said, it's a promising start. They are definitely trying to recapture the whole Scream, Urban Legend, I Know What You Did Last Summer vibe.The teen actors are all really great as their superficial spoiled brat characters and fulfill all that the roles demand of them. You've got your smart-mouthed jock goon, the sensitive jock who just wants to do something besides be known as a lunkhead sports guy, the misunderstood "weird" girl who just wants to be normal (which apparently means being a spoiled-rotten bleach blond whiner), the pathetic best friend who is equally as "weird" as the misunderstood girl (i.e. an updated version of Ducky from Pretty in Pink), the obnoxiously popular snobby girl that every other girl wants to be, and then all her sad and hopeless followers that don't even really like her but stick around to be "cool." The cool thing is that unlike your high school and real life, you get to see them all slaughtered before your very eyes. It's almost like therapy for you to get to watch examples of all the kids that picked on you in high school being slashed in front of you.Unfortunately, the entire middle of the film is weighed down with a whole lot of fluff and the real good stuff doesn't even start until about thirty minutes before the film ends. It also doesn't help that they show you who the killer is 40 minutes into the film, which as far as I'm concerned, defeats the purpose of even watching movies like this. The other thing that was really funny about this movie, is the way they try to use a lot of dreamy, atmospheric indie rock music to give this a sort of emotional Virgin Suicides vibe. One thing that I can say is that director Jacob Gentry (The Signal) definitely does have an eye for cool camera-work, but doesn't use it to his full potential here.Another thing that makes this movie so funny to watch is that it is so based in reality. If you've ever seen My Super Sweet Sixteen you would know how pathetically close to real life this movie really is. It's truly sad. They really didn't even have to hire a professional cast of actors to make this movie. They could have just taken footage of any of the episodes of the show and then use the actual real people and hire some guy to run around in a black robe with a mask and stage killing scenes. It might have saved them some production cash…and they could have used the new all-too-cool faux documentary Paranormal Activity gimmick and made this even more popular.This is a movie where the end almost justifies the means. As soon as they showed the killer halfway through the movie, I basically gave up on the film. I had a really bad case of déjà vu, feeling that maybe I was being served another helping of the unbelievably horrible Prom Night remake. I say almost, because it did it's very best to redeem itself with a witty ending that you kind of half-expect but still walk away feeling was a good attempt at being smart.Would I recommend this to die-hard slasher fans? No way. If you're looking for something that the non-genre fans can watch and be "safely" scared by, then DVR this thing one of the million times they're replaying it on MTV and serve it up on Halloween to them. For die-hard slasher fans, the only thing this is good for is a night of making fun of it with a group of friends or to help put you to sleep after eating a bunch of candy you stole from your kids or kid brother from their trick-or-treating stash.
