Combo of worst of slasher genre...
345046
Having watched dozens and dozens of "B" slasher movies, i can honestly say that this movie is not a contender in the genre. Perhaps in Australia this is one of the best... but as far as America, there are many more "straight to video" and low budget slasher movies that are more unique and even "realistic". The whole identity of the killer in "CUT" is actually absurd and ends up turning the movie into a bad episode of Nickelodeon's "ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?"  or "GOOSEBUMPS". The identity of killer was a let down. The acting, however, was actually good for this type of movie..but the script needed some work (there are too many cliche one-liners at the end..especially by Molly's character). Also, the killings and gore were quite good and stylish. The only problem I have is the plot..and identity of the killer. Instead of making it 82 minutes, they should have fleshed it out more, creating more of a background on the characters. There is a "secret" that we find out about on the the main characters but it's just spoken once and it just doens't make sense that no one would know about it before. And not to mention that it's not spoken about after that. The only explanation for the events is a simplified one that makes it all seem (like i mentioned) like a preteen horror show. Really, without the gore and language, that's what it is.

At this point in the Friday the 13th series we really have some bad movies, but Jason Goes to Hell manages to be the worst on in my eyes.  It was released four years after part 8 and was not distributed by Paramount Pictures.  The title is of course as dishonest as the third sequel, The Final Chapter.  Jason Goes to Hell was marketed as the final film and it wasn't.

Jason is back inexplicably and completely ignorant to his trials in that New York sewer, when he was evidently transformed back into a young boy.  He apparently decided instead to stick with the decayed zombie look indefinitely.  Jason chases a girl through the woods but he has been lured into a trap and is blown to smithereens by some FBI guys.  All of his parts are brought to a morgue.  The guy at the morgue decides it might be a good idea to begin eating Jason's heart.  This of course means he is possessed by Jason.  Jason's demon form is a fake looking snake with fangs and so forth and he goes from one host to the other, all the while killing folks.  Then we find out through some fancy pretentious poetry by this really cheesy bounty hunter guy that Jason can be killed by a fellow Voorhees.  Through this fortunate coincidence and for the benefit of a heavy handed death for Jason, our completely forgettable heroes managed to stumble upon a Voorhees.  Meanwhile, we don't care.  Jason dies and goes to hell, or just into the ground.  His hockey mask remains but Freddy Kreuger's clawed hand takes it into the dirt with them both.

For horror fans there are two references to other classics besides the obvious Nightmare on Elm Street tie-in.  One being "the Myers place" mentioned in some dialogue and the other being the unlikely appearance of the Necronomicon from the Evil Dead movies.  If you're a hardcore fan of these movies and need to see or even own part 9, then I wouldn't recommend anything other than the unedited version.  It includes a great murder scene that could not have been shown with an R-rating.  Other than that this movie is awful.

HORRIBLE MOVIE!!!This is a B- movie on a hicks budget. No lie.  I'm watching it now and am almost 3/4 of the way through and there's no gore- monsters- scares-maybe two drops of blood and nothing but a scream every night they stay in the woods. The nightly scream sounds like a female actress in heat trying out for a porno flick.  STOP- if you're thinking of renting this flick. Check out my ratings for a better scare or gore fest flicks.  Stay as far away as possible from this not even good enough for the Discovery Chanel after school reject special.  You can thank me later when you've slapped yourself on the back for not getting suckered by the family members who are rating this movie 5 stars and wasting your cash on this lame- o-rama ride. Enough said.

There's a fair number of people in this, which explains all their friends giving good reviews. This is garbage. They are trying to work a number of angles as it's basically a group of talentless 20-somethings playing teenagers, with a cellphone camera. Angle one is porn, this plays out like a bad 70's porn movie, however rape is not a subject for mainstream porn. Why it's in horror I don't know other than having to endure the insult to your intelligence is quite horrifying. Doesn't work as a revenge flick either, unless you think revenge for the rape and torture of a teenage virgin is having a pencil shoved up your butt. Trying to be clever when you're the exact opposite (a moron) doesn't work out well... if they had gone with having the girl go nuts with a chainsaw, shotgun, knife; pretty much anything that would have made it a "revenge/horror" flick would have been okay. This didn't, so aside from awful quality, your left watching a terrible crime to which there is no real revenge, not amusing at all...

One of the worst "horror" movies I have ever seen.  Why would Rob Zombie think some psycho babble about Michael Myers and Laurie Strode would make a good movie?  I can't even.  One of the worst horror movies I've ever seen.  Horror remakes like this need to stop.  They're tarnishing the legacy of the original works and even some of he bad sequels.

What can you say about a movie like this after viewing it, really? With a title like "Dr. Giggles" can anyone really expect anything but a real cheesy, campy horror film? Films like these are a dime a dozen, some better than others, but in general, most are nearly unwatchable. And though this film teeters on that edge, it doesn't quite get there. No, this is not a good movie. Just as 99% of the other films like this one, the plot is fairly stupid, and the comedy injected into it is horrendous. Yes, there are horrible play -on-words or stupid one-line jokes throughout this thing! This movie is about a psychopathic son of a murderous doctor that escapes from a mental institution and goes back to his hometown to get revenge and continue his father's devilish work.  However, the acting is not as horrible as one might expect in these films. To be honest, I'm a fan of Larry Drake, mostly because of his role as the bad guy Durant in the first two Darkman films. This was one of the main reason I purchased this film without watching it first. (That reason, and that it was real cheap too!) And though I think he did an ok job in this one, I can't help but hate that stupid damn giggle he does all through the movie!!! The other lead role played by Hollie Mary Combs, better known for her role in Charmed, did a alright acting job as well, but all in all, there's nothing special going on here. But like I said, I wasn't expecting anything real good out this one, except maybe some decent gore. But even the gore level wasn't nearly as high as I would have liked to seen. But there were a few camera tricks that I did notice that were kinda creative. But ultimately, you get 2 different views of opinion from a film like this. First there are those horror fans that go for this sorta thing and like a lot of campy comedy in their horror movies. The more stupid, the better, it seems like to me! And then you have the hardcore horror fan who wants straight-edged terror, blood, and violence done in a at least, semi-serious way. And its that category that I fall into. Hey,I try to have an open mind about most of these campy films I watch, I really do. That's why I bothered to watch (and even buy) this DVD. And there are certain films of this nature I do like (Evil Dead and House come right to mind). And I suppose that this movie is worth watching at least once. But overall, I'm left with the feeling of why? Why make movies like this? I guess the answer is that some people do like this kind of horror, but as for me..I'll pass. What's troubling me is that more films like this one keep making their way into my DVD collection for one reason or another, and being the collector that I am, I don't have the heart to get rid of them! With that said, depending on what type of horror fanatic you are, you'll either laugh with enjoyment at this one and consider a good horror comedy, or you'll simply dismiss this as stupidity. And I tend to lean toward the latter of the two.

This was the worst attempt at a horror movie that I have seen in a long time.
The writer should be ashamed,Universal should never have released this garbage.
20 minutes into this movie had me wanting to throw something at the TV.
Do yourself a favor and get a bootleg copy if you HAVE to see this crap. I don't condone bootleg downloads  ever but, in this case the makers of this movie do not deserve ant more money that they have already stolen from us.
In short the Strangers sucked,the killers were able to appear and then vanish in the blink of an eye and the only thing that even came close to bothering me was the guys mask.
Do not waste your time... oh, I hears there is going to be a strangers two in 2010... do we really need a sequel
to this incredibly bad attempt at a horror film??? This would have been scary to me if I was 9 or 10 years old...pure crap.

This is film making at it's least classy. The acting is quite good for movies of this sort,but the costume(inspired by a Muinich painting)will probably inspire more laughs then screams. Suspense is conspicious by it's  absence,except in the riveting opening,and final,which are maybe the only  two things in this movie worth watching. Courtney Cox,and Neve Campbell are  good to look at,I must say,but they alone are not worth your rental  dollars.
  The characters themselves are pretty shallow,vapid,typical  teens who spout Quinetin Tarentino-esque dialouge in one of the few  original ideas in this cliche riddled mess. They also seem nothing like real  teens,or at least any I know.
  I suppose it can be fun in a cheesy sort  of way,and perhaps worth a dollar or two on a slow night,but other than  that skip it.
  Of intrest mostly to fans of this rather spotty  subgenre,but you're really much better off watching it's  inspiration,Halloween. Oh,and Nightmare On Elm Street beats the stuffing out  of this gory piece of tripe. So does Wes Craven's New Nightmare.
  Under  no circumstances should you watch the sequels,which are beyond merely  poor...
  scale:1(holy cow!)-10(ahh...)
  Directing:7.8
  Suspense:5
  Acting:7.9  script:6.4
  While certainly not  perfect,this is much better than the dreck that followed in it's wake,such  as I STILL know what you did last summer.

This is supposedly a werewolf flick.  Most of it seems more like a slasher film.  A successful news woman is returning to her small hometown before ramping up her career.  She passes a strange man stranded on the highway.  She can't stop staring at him but she leaves him behind.  The guy is spooky and has bodies in his trunk.  He get a ride with an old geezer who he kills.  Meanwhile the film takes a turn to show lots of topless guys primping and flexing.  Aldo Ray shows up for no reason as some sort of door-to-door seafood salesman.  In what could be called the main plot, our heroine is visiting her Asian brother (no explanation) as they both stay at the local motel.  Then the first body is discovered.

The rest of the film is made up of some silly plot twists where dumb cops suspect the wrong people, everyone seems to know about the murders, anyone who comes across evidence on the murders fails to make any connection, shirtless fights, accusations, bad acting and some really strange visual fades whenever our heroine sees the killer.  Finally the killer is seen as a werewolf, is battled by some of the main characters and finally finished off in a rather unusual way.  End of story.

We are given the impression that the killer has been following the newswoman but he originally was ahead of her.  Our heroine shows absolutely no talent for investigation as she doesn't even mention the killer to her Sherif boyfriend even when he is right there.  Although everyone seems to know there is a killer around, when people stumble across his lair and body parts they don't even think to tell anyone other than to share the cool stuff with their buddies.  You know the film is strange right near the beginning when Kato Kaelin's girlfriend apparently keeps Preparation-H, Exlax, and such things in her refrigerator.  When the first body is found it is in a dumpster in what looks like the center of town with lots of people walking by.  At a press conference it is mentioned the dumpster was located out on the highway.  The mind boggles at this film and yet it manages to have some sort of charm.  Even while asking yourself what were they thinking and how stupid can the characters be you find yourself having to watch.  My favorite odd scene was showing a small drip of blood coming from the trunk of the killer's car.  This would have been an effective means of raising the horror levels if it was not shown right after we were shown the bodies in the trunk.  Anyway, this is one of those films that is bad in all the right ways not like some of the new stuff coming out.  This in one of those great bad films like Galaxina or Plan 9 that just needs to be seen and preferably in groups.  Check it out.

good plot, good cast...typical characters...death scenes we have seen thousands of times before...and an ending that comes too quickly..this was one of the worst slasher movies that I have ever seen....too boring...too  stupid....and not very interesting.....

Just rented this and I wish I hadn't, could be worse, I could have wasted money buying it. I wasn't a fan of the old ones but I could see potential in an origins story, man was I wrong!

This film defines bad, if it was a B movie trying I could forgive it a little but WWE have had their hand in some good movies lately and cannot be forgiven for this trash!

I can even forgive a new take on the monster but it plays just like a bad werewolf movie for what it was worth!

Zero effort on the plot, parts of the scripts and how it all plays out are beyond stupid, I'm actually offended by this. They need to fire the writers big time!

Acting is as expected, it's an attempt at a horror movie so no awards here, but they pass ok for the most part, just the script lets them down big time and did I mention the plot?!

How about we do a real origins film? Start at the actual beginning of the 'curse', instead of just mention it in passing SHOW IT, the film is called ORIGINS!

It's just a poor slasher/monster wih no real slashing or horrorible monster, no evil leprechaun in the traditional sense, just a thing after some kids forced into a cabin in the woods.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

The idea of a leprechaun origins film is great, but this is nothing like an origin film and nothing like a twisted leprechaun film!

Jesus,Joseph, and Mary! I could not believe how truly awful this "film" was. Now, I understand you have to start someplace. Grab your Dad's digital camera and bribe your friends and teachers to be

in your movie. We've all done it. Words of advice: Don't ruin a perfect horror legend like Sleepy Hollow. Don't try to copy "Blair Witch" or "Dawson's Creek". And for the love of God, Do not try to decapitate the blonde using your sister's wig!! And what is with the fat black guy? This was comedy where it was supposed to be terror. I will give one star for the murder weapon: A huge "Excalibur" style sword. That was cool. As for the rest of this disaster, the opening scene could not be seen! Literally. The "acting" was beyond wooden, and the co-director, Chris Arth, should not have admitted that he "directed" at all!

"They" starts out with a brilliant scene introducing the 'night terrors' that disturb a little boy. The scene was creepy and very well done. Soon after, though, it all went downhill. Don't be fooled by the "Wes Craven presents..", he had nothing to do with the direction of this film. And it shows. The plotline and premise quickly fall apart and the ending leaves you wondering why you wasted your time. This movie is one of those that was totally butchered. If you're a die hard horror fan, like myself, rent it just to see it. But don't expect anything too spectacular.

This movie is said to be one of the first slasher flicks so im giving it 3 stars, but the same year texas chainsaw massacre was released and it is 1000 times better than this film. I just got down watching this obscure little film and i give it merit for contributing to the horror genre and starting it off but as far as this being good or scary i disagree. Alot on this site are saying its the best horror film and the scariest. Its not. They are saying don't watch it with the lights off- the calls made by the killer were freaky but they wernt scary to me. The story revolves around a sorority house and a killer hiding in the house killing each girl off one by one , he is making obsene and crazy phone calls from the upstairs attic without the girls knowing hes in the house. The killings didn't scare me or surpise me. There was little gore and the killers face is never shown , only his eye so we don't know who the killer is, even at the end. We are led to beleive its the boyfriend at first but at the end it is obvious it isnt. John Saxon (nightmare on elm street) plays the detective trying to trace the calls and investigate and find out who the killer is. The end of the film the cops don't even search the attic and the killer is still there. Never even get to know who did it. The only half likeable characters in the film are the detective and olivia hussey. She sounds foreign and the voice can get annoying. But other than that this is a so so film, maybe it was good for its time but texas chainsaw massacre and psycho outdo this. Ive seen better. For horror film buffs i say maybe you should buy it just to have in collection as one of the earlier horror films but i cant say i would recomend this.

This film was so bad that it hurt.  Unless you like watching 90 minutes of Rob's wife walking around in her living dead girl costume with a white horse for Michael to ride on, your going to hate it.

Where do I start?

- Myers looked like Frankenstein in a hoody.
- He didn't even wear the mask for more than half of the film.
- Where was Haddenfield in this movie? These films were suppose to take place in a middle class town.
- Everyone was dirty and down right disgusting. What was the deal with the Sheriff's house and the graffiti all over the inside?
- What happen to Laurie and her friends? They went from high school girls to suicide girls.
- Dr Loomis, a complete arrogant jerk who all of the sudden has a change of heart at the end. Wow that was original.
- The Halloween theme was no where to be found.
- Non-stop slow motion.
- Jumping from place to place to kill to kill for no apparent reason.
- Non stop dream sequences, including the first 25 minutes of the movie!  The longest dream sequence in film history.
- Ghosts holding down Laurie?  Yes I said it right, ghosts in a Halloween movie!
- Laurie saying "I love you brother" after Michael ruined her life and killed everyone she knew?
- Sweeping shots of Michael walking in fields.

What a disaster.  Let's just hope the series ends here.  And I thought Resurrection was bad, this made it look like the Godfather!

I've been a fan of the Halloween films for years, staying up late to watch them on network tv, back in the day before cable was everywhere, and I've enjoyed them all to a certain degree. Some were better than others, and I even thought Zombies remake was okay, but this follow up was just a slap in the face to all of us Michael Myers fans. I honestly don't know what he thinks a good horror movie should be, but this is not it. It was not enjoyable to watch at all. The scene at the Dance/Concert was pretty good, but it was the only thing that felt reminiscent of the older films. If he's trying to be gritty a groundbreaking... do it with your own characters! Don't ruin a classic beloved horror series, to make yourself feel all accomplished creatively!!! I was really let down by this. I'd even rather watch the one with Tyra Banks in it, than this mess! If the studios decide to go forward with new entries (wich I hope they do, because Zombie should NOT have the last word on this franchise!!!) I would hope they would push forward with a fresh new direction ignoring Rob Zombie's lack of caring. He really did not know his audience on this one, and I'm pretty sure he does not care.  Next for Zombie? Remaking the Blob, but without having a killer blob it it. See how creative and smart he is!

I am a fan of the first Blade movie which was a frickin' awesome movie but I wasn't with the second one. The second one is on the same level as this. In the last movie Guillermo Del Toro directed it and in this writer turned director Davis S. Goyer takes a nab at the third installment and fails. The only good thing in number 3 is that Wesley Snipes (The Art Of War, Liberty Stands Still) isn't a special effect that much like in the 2nd one. In some of the scenes you know Snipes is a special effect but they hide it perfectly. This movie has Blade still hunting down those bloodsuckers with the same old Whistler, Kris Kristofferson (Chelsea Walls, Payback). Badguys, Parker Posey (Scream 3, Party Girl), Triple H (in his first movie) to name a couple of them,find in Iraq an ancient evil, actually its supposed to be Dracula or Drake or whatever you wanna call it...the first evil, played by Dominic Purcell (Tv's John Doe, Equilibrium). Blade is arrested by police chief James Remar (Drugstore Cowboy, Warriors). Then 2 young ruffians, Hannibal King, played by Ryan Reynolds (Amityville Horror, Alarmist) and Abigail Whistler played by Jessica Biel (Summer Catch, Tv's 7th Heaven) rescue him and bring him back to the rest of their crew which includes a blind woman, Natasha Lyonne (American Pie Trilogy) and a whiz at technology, comedian Patton Oswalt (Aqua Teen Hunger Force). Things go AWOL after that. A major letdown. Lighter in texture and direction then the 2nd one but this one has some of the same feel to it from the action scenes. The end battle scene with Blade and Drake is nothing compared to the other 2 end battle scenes from the 1st and 2nd. Reynolds buffed up some from his Van Wilder to a Vampire Slaying Van Wilder as he adds some funny bits but its hard to see him be all tough and buff. Biel is sexy as Abigail but she has nothing on her except for sexy curves. Wrestler Triple H can't act. Kris Kristofferson's Whistler is killed off in a unsatisfying way. Purcell doesnt make a convincing Dracoola and he doesnt even come close to being a cool bad guy as Stephen Dorff's Frost in number 1 and Luke Goss' Nomak in number 2....they were way cooler. Also starring John Michael Higgins (After The Sunset, Best In Show) as that evil shrink and a amusing cameo by comedian Eric Bogosian (Talk Radio, Wonderland) as a Talk Show Host. I'm sorta praying for a 4th one..bring back director Stephen Norrington (Directed Blade 1) but I don't wanna see a fourth one. This makes a trademark role for Wesley Snipes. People will be seeing him walking down the street and they'd come up to him and say.."Yo Blade, It's opening season on all bloodsuckers!"
