Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

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.

Cindy Wright I was so pleased to find a copy of this film in the bargain bin at Walmart last weekend. I'd been watching my old VHS copy I'd purchased from my local movie rental place in the early 1990s for the last couple of decades. This film was underrated in my opinion. It makes me wonder if it was just never properly marketed in a way that it could find it's audience? Everyone that I've ever shown it to has loved it. The film is the perfect amount of voodoo mysticism, great gore effects, and an entertaining plot all in a beautiful but eerie setting. It contains an extremely talented cast and director. The plot line is very well written. I always hope there is really a place like Tonk's out there and I'll stumble upon it someday.

Keith DeWeese I guess I'm the lone dissenter here because I really enjoyed this film. Perhaps my enjoyment of it has something to do with having just seen, a few days before, Kate Bush perform live and turn into a bird at the end of the concert. Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed this film which really came off as more of a retelling of a legend, fairy tale, or bit of folklore than what I presume others expected coming from the director of TOURIST TRAP (another favorite.) Have to say that this might be a case where, having only seen one other work by the director of this film, I really had no expectations of this piece; and, I feel I was able to watch it unencumbered.I watch a lot of horror films from all decades--or, I should say, I'm catching up on a lot of them--while working; but, this one actually made me pause in my work and watch it because I was enjoying it and wanted to be engaged with it.What didn't I like? Well, I wish Anjanette Comer had more screen time. Fell in love with her in THE LOVED ONE and adored her in THE BABY, so I wanted more Comer on screen (And didn't her character in NETHERWORLD say, at one point, "I want to save my son?" or something like that, regarding Corey?) Also, I wanted to know more of the background story of, for lack of a better term, the Bird People. Same is true of the flying Hand with one finger having a viper's head and the palm marked with an eye drawn after those found on representations of the human head from ancient Egypt.But, have to say, it's the fact that I didn't have a back story on the Bird People that added to the mystery of this film. I like movies that make me pause and wonder; and, this one made me pause and wonder quite a bit. I'll end by saying that I would recommend this film; and, though no masterpiece, it flew above and beyond my expectations.

picspix This movie seems to be a surprisingly gentle film for its genre.I think the sound track lures you into this feeling.With the music luring you into such a tranquil feeling. There are a few surprises in the form of rushes that will catch you totally off guard.I found that my main interest focused on the sound track.Some very " comforting" sounds.On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give the movie an over all rating of 7 1/2 to 8.I would also like to locate a copy of the sound track for home use.

teadm I actually thought I was in for something interesting during the first few minutes of this film, the section I'll call "the prologue". It was atmospheric and strange enough to hold some promise. Unfortunately, I kept waiting for something to happen for the rest of the movie, and very little does, except for the last 10 minutes when I finally learned what the title really means, and that I had been had, big time. This isn't scary, suspenseful or even erotic as the trailer suggested, the only positive thing I can say about it is that it's well photographed. I certainly expected more from the director of Tourist Trap and the original Puppet Master. Netherworld is an infuriating disappointment.
