Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

GazerRise Fantastic!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Diane Ruth Brilliant satire of horror films and a stunning horror movie in its own right. The atmosphere is incredibly thick with terror as a ghost hunter group investigates whether an abandoned mansion is indeed haunted. The writing is sharp and funny but there are still plenty of startling moment and sequences of pure fright. At times things get pretty intense but the film never loses its sense of humor nor its way. The cast is wonderful with Ashley Rae Spillers (Last Vegas; The Love Inside Me) giving a delightful performance as the leader of the group. Spillers is a young talent surely destined for big things in the near future. Anyone who enjoys scary movies with clever plot twists and funny moments will certainly love Saturday Morning Mystery.

GL84 Hired to investigate a supposedly-haunted abandoned schoolhouse, a group of paranormal investigators find the school is far more dangerous than they bargained for and must try to find the cause of the paranormal incidents to get out alive.This turned out to be quite the effective and entertaining parody effort while falling slightly short as a true stand-alone effort. Aping the TV show to it's fullest extent, right down to the set-up of the group and their relationships to each other, the continual use of finding bad guys in masks as the prime culprit and the same goofy humor throughout, even managing to bring a dog into the fray as a partner makes this one feel like a true homage yet it still manages to go in it's own separate path as the group manages to find an actual case of demons and satanic madness in their latest assignment, which proves far too much for them to handle and causing the middle section to be enormously entertaining with a series of sequences really amping up the terror and tension throughout. The sight of seeing them succumb to the actual torments and tortures inflicted upon them by the ghastly, creepy-looking demons and ghouls makes for some additional fun than expected due to the playing off the homage angle earlier and seeing the walls drip with blood-splatter, the group finally engaging in sleazier antics than usual and the entire actuality of the demonic origins of their protagonists is just endless fun due to incorporating this into the film. That said, without all that knowledge beforehand this does tend to follow the motions in just about every one of these haunted house investigation movies with the team not completely sold on the enterprise being what they think it is, they eventually get proved wrong when it turns out to be for real and must overcome the experience for the first time. It does grow a little thin to see it resorting to these clichés to keep going, but that's the way it goes here with this type of plot. It also really easily betrays it's low-budget roots quite often with a series of lame shots of the demons or really weak-looking special effects, but the rest of the movie is so fun it really overcomes that.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, drug use and violence-against-animals.

Kolobos51 I want to make some things clear to anyone considering watching this movie. Saturday Morning Mystery is not a parody, it's not very funny and generally isn't trying to be, and it has next to nothing to do with Scooby Doo.This is just another low budget horror flick, very low budget, about a Ghost Hunters style scenario going bad when a crew of paranormal debunkers loaded down with video equipment stumble across an actual scary situation. This is a great premise that no one can seem to get right (the original Grave Encounters came closest) and Saturday Morning Mystery is certainly no exception.Our crew of cash strapped debunkers are sent to a notorious house reputedly once owned by Satanist and now allegedly haunted by... something.The dysfunctional group includes a druggie, an uptight rich guy, a smart girl that acts as leader, and her best friend. Oh, and a dog, which has nothing to do with the plot and never does anything significant (Scooby Doo he ain't). That dog, along with references in the beginning to criminals using ghost stories to hide their crimes, are the only references to Scooby Doo and there is almost no outright comedy, intentional or unintentional.The first hour is plodding and dull and the movie stays alive, just barely, by the strength of the cast, which is above average for this type of movie. They're not playing well written characters though and the script seems so choppy and poorly structured that the film never flows well.All hell breaks loose in the last 30 minutes but I wouldn't really say that it qualifies as a slow burn because the finale is so incongruous with the rest of the movie that it really feels like part of a different film.An out of nowhere sex scene in the middle of the movie and a hilarious car fire filmed by people that clearly didn't have the money or resources to actually light a car on fire are pretty much the only memorable things about this POS. Just skip it.

Grant Williams I loved this film! From the character play to the location filmed, everything kept me on the edge of my seat--wondering what would happen next. Suspenseful, thrilling and fresh-fully spooky; this is one folk tale I could watch again. This film throws viewer prediction out the window and keeps you guessing in this twisted Texas town where things go unnoticed until a gang of pesky kids arrives. You won't believe your eyes or your senses when you try to take in all that is going on.It's good to see young artists develop some Americana heritage into a visually stunning and mind bending work of moving art!Kudos and two thumbs up for Saturday Morning Massacre!
