Dorathen Better Late Then Never

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Michael Ledo Four girlfriends go to a secluded villa to have a bachelorette party. Gabby (Marcia Do Vales) is getting married to Michael and aspires to be an actress. Along with Gabby is Mary (Natalia Celino) a reclusive woman who claims to be a virgin, Silvia (Victoria Broom) who joined the mile high club on the way over, and Anna (Tabitha Quitman) who is the most normal in the group.They hired a stripper for the night. Max, the dog is chained up outside. He bites, except Gabby who grew up with him. There is a locked room and no phone reception. It isn't long before things become unraveled and the blood flows.This is a slasher film, whose twist I knew before I had any clues. The dialouge was border line. It lacked the humor normally associated with British slasher films. There are better slashers out there.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Natalina Celino)

UK_Zombie Actually this was a good film, in spite of what you will read in some of the reviews. I didn't like the setting, as I think British horror should be set in the UK. The Spanish setting just somehow didn't give a frightening backdrop to the film. That said, there was genuine tension in the film and the kills were good. Contained the usual partial kill of the main protagonist followed by an amazing resurrection (this always gets on my wick, but it goes with the territory). There was lot of nudity throughout. Natalia Celino is hot and underrated as an actress. Her role here was not helped by some inane dialogue at what was supposed to be a tender erotic moment. I think the Brazilian lead has potential to be a very convincing horror actress in spite of the rather heavy accent. All in all a good film and one which is well worth seeking out. Currently on at Poundland (for a pound, surprise surprise),along with some other low budget efforts.

BA_Harrison The blurb on the back of my DVD begins: 'Four attractive young women...'I'll stop right there: four attractive, young women??? Really? Not in the film I watched. Thanks to their wretched personalities, the women in this film are about as attractive as a package holiday to Syria. Even judged purely on their physical attributes, they're nothing special, with only actress Natalia Celino proving slightly memorable thanks to her enormous knockers (believe me when I say that her chest is the best thing about the whole film).The blurb also describes this film as 'edgy and gory'. Well, if by edgy and gory they mean tired and predictable, with virtually no decent effects, then I guess they're right on the money. Deranged disappoints in almost every department. There's no atmosphere, zero scares, and sod all suspense: rather stupidly, the film begins by immediately revealing the identity of the killer, thereby making the entire whodunit aspect of the film totally redundant. And talking of totally redundant, that's exactly how I imagine the majority of the cast will be spending the rest of their professional acting careers.

madelinehind I wasn't very optimistic going into this. Neil Jones directed the dreadful THE REVEREND, produced the truly abysmal ZOMBIE KING. Natalie Celino starred in the laughable UMBRAGE and Victoria Broom starred in the dire ZOMBIE WOMEN OF Satan. THe movie begins well enough. It is at least technically competent, unlike Jones' last cheap effort ZOMBIE KING which looked like it was filmed on a camcorder.The signs that the movie will disappoint are clear from early on. The score denotes suspense when nothing is happening, merely a car driving through the countryside. Victoria Broom's habit of laughing after every "amusing " line is irritating and when the other girls tell her to shut up I knew how they felt.THe lead actress Marcia DaValez is striking looking with her peroxide cropped hair and eurasian looks. She has an accent that is, at times, impenetrable.Victoria Broom plays the "saucy" one. Her character is irritating, which is not her fault, and unconvincingly acted , which is.Natalie Celino was utterly wooden in UMBRAGE but gives a decent performance here, so she has either taken acting lessons in the meantime or the director of UMBRAGE failed to get a performance out of her.Craig Fairbrass stars in a lot of these zero budget efforts but seldom seems to acknowledge or promote them.The script is unsatisfying and makes little sense and there is little suspense or horror to be found.I wouldn't bother.
