Steineded How sad is this?
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Michael Ledo Brent (Xavier Samuel) is going to the prom with his girlfriend Holly (Victoria Thaine). When wallflower Lola (Robin McLeavy) asks him to go with her, he politely turns her down. The opening scene and DVD cover set the stage for the brutal torturous scenes that follow.Pot/Metal head Brent has his issues as does the Valentine family which develops later on. Robin McLeavy provides us with some odd passive demented sexuality in a good performance on an old genre.Guide: F-word (in music) sex and nudity (Victoria Thaine)
jacealana There are many torture movies out there. Some are just brutal, some actually have a story, and some are just pointless torture flicks. This one has somewhat of a story. But unlike most torture films this one not only has a story about the main character but also somewhat of a comical side story about a friend of the main character which has only slight connections to the main character but nothing to do with the main story line. This movie is very entertaining though. I had many parts that I found funny, and many parts that made me cringe.
keelhaul-80856 The girl from Hell on Wheels, with the Indian tattoos on her chin, stars in this Australian flick. Not a bad horror film, considering I've seen a lot and it takes plenty to impress at this point.It could have been more spectacular, but for a low-budget Indie type film from another country, it delivers enough entertainment and irony to keep you happy.More could have been done with the basement dwellers, and I don't think you can pour hot liquid into a tiny hole in the head without scalding the person's face off and the guy holding him.The protagonist should have run into the night instead of up a tree.The dorky kid who dated the cop's goth daughter was pretty funny. This added a light reprieve to the other gory stuff.Overall, not a bad effort, in a world populated by tons of crappy horror films.
Lebowskidoo Looks can be deceiving. I had this movie at the top of my watchlist for about five years and finally watched it. I had heard it was good but always avoided it for some reason. Now, I've seen it and things will never be the same again! A major balls-to-the-wall Aussie horror joyride, hang on to something, anything, because when it takes off it never stops! The lead villainess, Lola, is someone you don't root for, at all, you keep hoping for her violent demise, she's just that EVIL! Highly recommended, tons of twists and shocks and all that fun stuff, I audibly gasped several times and howled in surprise too. More like this, please!
