Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
gavin6942 A killer begins to stalk the actors of a low budget horror film, killing them off one by one.Molly Ringwald appears as a diva actress, Kylie Minogue is also here (not sure where exactly in her career this falls). And we have a very cool killer mask. What else? The movie is actually fairly decent. Not great, not one that is going to become a classic, but a decent take on the slasher genre and a film that successfully rides the coattails of "Scream". The idea of a cursed film that needs to be finished is nice -- maybe not completely original, but a good combination with the slasher aspects.I simply have no idea what more to say. The film is not a deep one -- college kids in a big house and they are getting killed. It looks slick, maybe a little bit cheaply made but not bad. Disposable, but worth a peek for horror aficionados.
kosmasp I think the only thing that I actually really liked/enjoyed was the ending. And yes it seems to be enough to give it an extra star in my vote. Of course for slasher fans, any new movie might be worth their while. I'd imagine there is another rating system (like how cool were the killings, how much blood is there and so forth), instead of caring about the acting or the story.Of course I'm not trying to speak in general terms. I'm just trying to give you a hint, what I weighed into my vote. So you can see from that point if my rating, will affect your view on the film, or if it makes you want to see the movie or not ... That's up for you to decide!
ptb-8 Seen Australia's most atrocious film WOLF CREEK? If you have and somehow you mistakenly manage to see some of CUT you will be more horrified to see the same three producers names from that film having a misogynist bonding and practice session making this vicious drivel as well. It is one thing to be keen to make a seriously creepy thriller (eg: BREAKDOWN or THE original VANISHING)..... it is another thing to be a lame brain Tarantino wannabee who chooses to put distressing imagery of beautiful women being mutilated on a movie screen posing as interesting drama. Someone or three in the Australian movie industry seems to like to want to make films depicting gruesome female killings and if you care to look at the production credits of both CUT and WOLF CREEK you can see the same three names. How sad and pathetic. We have a terrible social blight common to many countries which is violence against women. With these two awful films we can see two clear examples of Australian film makers who promote the creation of vicious imagery depicting brutal death behavior towards women as a piece of passive entertainment for the impressive multiplex teens. And they pay themselves a lot for this creepy activity. One Tarantino is blight enough. To see an industry spawn the disgusting misogynistic viciousness of Eli Roth (HOSTEL) and Rob Zombie (DEVILS REJECTS) is the real axis of evil. To see this cancer spread to Australian cinema production via CUT and WOLF CREEK is more than the thin edge of the bloodstained shovel. It sadly proves that money filming cruelty is a keen topic among the untalented destructive few buying their way to fame via imitating Tarantino and those vicious Industry disciples. What is CUT about? Mutilating imagery of Molly Ringwald and Kylie Minogue, two of the world's most beautiful women. How is it done? With Garden tools. The fellers who wanted to put that on a movie screen (along with WOLF CREEK's violent depravity imagery) have advertised their private interests clearly with the matching credits of both these films. Some men must really hate beautiful women because of the power their attractiveness has over them..... and perhaps retaliate by making films such as all those listed in this comment. It is called snuff fantasy.
lost-in-limbo While filming an 80's horror movie called 'Hot Blooded', the director is brutally murdered and the leading lady is scarred as she survives the attack and manages to kill murderer. After all of this, the production is abandoned and the stock reels are left to gather dust. So a group of filmmakers decide to pick up where the film left off even though they're warned by people to keep away from the film, as the last person who was interested in the flick turned up dead in the cinema while watching the film. From this it's labelled as a cursed production. Not taking these warnings seriously the crew goes ahead with the production and they get the original star of the movie to return from Hollywood to reprise her role, but not as the daughter but the mother. But again the murders start occurring with the cast and crew getting butchered by an unknown figure dressed up as the film's killer.Look what 'Scream' started! Hey, I enjoy those films, but mostly everything else that followed on afterwards were annoying and pointless excuses. During this stage the sub-genre came back with vengeance, but it wasn't much of a good thing as they were mostly unsuccessful and unoriginal attempts, where they followed the derivative pattern of the Scream franchise. 'Cut' which is an independent Australian take on the textbook slasher genre is purely shonky garbage that lacks basically everything and shamelessly knocks off every other slasher flick. But you know what, I found it a cheesy delight. Yeah, It's gawd awful and highly forgettable, but it's a bit of ala good cheap fun while it lasted. Although I did hate it when I originally came across it, but the second time around I knew what I was getting myself into and it worked better for it. It was just like helping myself to a nice slice cheesecake again, but this time it wasn't so sweet.The film came out around the same time as 'Scream 3' and 'Urban Legends: The Final Cut' did, which all three follow the same structure of using a movie within a movie. 'Scream 3' is obviously the strongest of the three, but I would actually watch this trash over Urban Legends: The Final Cut. Though, it did seem more of a throwback to the 80's slashers than that of one of Scream's bastard offspring. Pretty much the film is given b-grade treatment and that shows up in the script and performances. The dialog is truly unimaginative and hardly comes up with any surprises and suspense. While, the performances are pure mockery and Molly Ringwald takes the crown for it. She plays the wash-up actress returning to finish the cursed flick and I had good fun with her laughably ridiculous send-up performance. She provides the bite here and nails it down perfectly. The rest were mostly recognizable Australian TV stars (that's if you're an Australian) with a ravishing Jessica Napier leading the cast with the likes of Stephen Curry and Frank Roberts. Also pop singer (and supposed actress) Kylie Minogue makes a cameo appearance in the opening just to be hacked up! Nice. These teens mostly followed the formula of horny and dim-witted kids that have nothing better to do but to be killed. Sometimes it feels like they just waiting in queue, because they have no real substance to be there.The plot starts off rather interestingly, then heads into a mystery phase where red herrings pop up, but then it makes a sudden u-turn where it becomes a somewhat satire on the horror genre. Simply it's rather choppy and when it comes to the explanation for all of this madness I was kind of left thinking… oh my. This when it tries to twist back onto itself in a clever manner, but sadly it falls along way. But don't you just love an opening ending. Also it sports some pop culture references and a self referential, tongue-in-cheek approach. Predictability makes its way in rather early and the jokes can become over-stated at times, but it knows that by poking fun at itself quite a bit. The atmosphere looses a bit of edge because of the humour taking away the bleakness, but still the isolated grand old mansion where they are filming has some neat touches that added 'some' spookiness. The cinema scene is done rather nicely too.Now, now we know we want gore and nudity when watching this type of flick, but sadly there's no nudity to be found and the gore is pretty standard, if lacking but it's more then decent for such low-budget flick. There are one or two creative deaths, but the rest are systematic. The killer wasn't bad but when he spoke it kind of hurt it I thought, well the smart-ass attitude didn't sit well with me. Another notes of the production which were dire ranged from the cut-away editing, out-of-place soundtrack and Kimble Rendall's direction lacked execution and was pretty careless, but these contributing factors pull together to add some sort of sheer entertainment to all of this badness.The imagination matches the budget that's for sure, but heck this lousy slasher wasn't trying to be anything else. Pure schlock that's slightly amusing!
