Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
messengerisgay This movie lives up to it's name, no joke (that's why there's a clown in the movie, anyways...) After watching this rubbish (thankfully it's only an hour and a half) I had nightmares for 2 weeks about how poor this crud was and where to start? the poor graphics, the pathetic ending which makes no sense whatsoever and what the hell is up with the drunk detective and all the flashbacks? Dominique Pinon... From acting in Alien Resurrection to this? You've gotta be kidding... the plot was... no, there was no damn plot, this movie was just a waste of time, if you ever see a copy of this film anywhere, make sure you burn it and run.the only thing truthful about this film is that after watching it, it did indeed breed hell into my mind, for making me put up with it.
ahj-3 The lead female's (Alice) son had at some point in the past been horribly murdered whilst on the way home. Alice's family blamed her for the entire tragedy and Alice had gone mad with guilt because she blamed herself.As she couldn't believe anyone could such a horrible crime to a child she invented an inhuman monster (a clown) as the perpetrator. Most of the film is a strange fantasy as I think she's never supposed to leave the mental institution where she's locked up. Also Darren Day wanders around symbolising Alice's alter ego, A strong version of herself who can do what she could not and fight off the monster that murdered her son.This may or may not be the plot of the film, to be quite honest within 5 minutes of the film starting you will desperately want to turn it off. I guarantee you will not care one bit.This is an art horror film with very little script and it's clear the actors are struggling with the few awful lines they do have. The film instead relies on symbolism to push the story forward. This doesn't work at all and leaves the audience very very confused. The film itself has all the hallmarks of a film that has been heavily altered and scenes/characters removed, I cannot believe that anyone would fund a 90 minute film on 10 pages of dire dialogue. I also refuse to believe anyone would knowingly make anything so bad.The only good point about the entire thing is that the lead actress is quite attractive. But that in itself is no reason to watch.
pumaye This movie is really a strange, weird, paranoic descent into the depths of the hells of the mind of a deranged woman, gone crazy for the loss of his child. It is confusing, scary, tense, really fascinating, but unresolved. The score, made by the director and writer of this movie, is probably too similar to Carpenter's one for his masterpiece Halloween, but it is functional to the situation (and there are also influences by other past scores by Morricone and such for several of the Italian giallos from the Seventies). If you like good cinematography and weird stuff, this movie is definitely worth a viewing (even for the beauty of the lead actress), while if you prefer a clear explanation of what's going on, it's better to leave this movie on the shelves of your video-retailer
cdlemere Before anyone starts thinking Dario Argento, no. This film was extremely disappointing for a variety of reasons and instead of typing a summary (which you can read on the back of the box) I will do my best to address some of the issues I had with this movie.1.)Stephen King Did it Better- The movie version of "It" is not as good as the novel, or even that great of film, in that the editing and re-imagining weren't that good. I do think, however, that the story idea was very original and scary. While watching "Hellbreeder", I was totally put off by the fact that the screenplay had several "coincidences" that have nothing to do with coincidence. Centuries old thing masking itself as a clown to kill children in their backyards with sheets blowing-would be one of these coincidences.2.)Leave the Surrealism to Argento, Boys- The filming techniques in this movie were interesting but too distracting. It seems like they were so busy looking for new angles, lighting and cells that the story gets pushed aside in the whole "look how awesome it looks" game. Watching the actress walk and stalk for ten minutes is not even suspenseful, let alone thrilling. Plus the repetition becomes almost comedic instead of horrifying.3.)When Good Special Effects Happen to Bad Films- The blood effects are pretty damn good, as is the scar on the actress' body, which does lead to a pretty chilling scene. Once more, it was wasted on a film where you're trying to figure out what the hell is going on.4.)Actors are NOT Bodily Functions- The detectives in this film are truly pointless in the end and are used like vehicles or bodily functions: something to get something done automatically. I hate when filmmakers can only make a plot move by adding someone for no real reason and then not even fleshing out the character.-Overall, this movie is a poor attempt at artsy-fartsy horror.
