Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Bezenby Spoilers: This film contains Joe Estevez Woohoo – it's another slasher film. In lover's lane, two jocks and their girlfriends are brutally stabbed by an murderer and only one of the jocks survives. The other is the brother of the local deputy, who has a rocky relationship with his father. You've also got Joe Estevez as the chief of police also trying to deal with an escape from the local asylum. There's an FBI agent in there too, plus other folks I'd imagine.For a slasher film, there's an awful lot of interaction between the characters I mentioned and not a lot of actual slashing. The films also seem to tie together about three different plot lines and just ended up raising about a billion questions.Without spoiling the film, let me say that when that other character did that thing, was it a coincidence that the other character turned up at the same time to do that other thing? Or, in the same scene, how come one character managed to do that thing to himself while the other character did that other thing to that other character? How come that guy didn't notice the other guy doing that thing? And how many characters have (things)? Or (thing) from that (thing)? (thing) (thing) (thing) (thing) (thing).Loads of red herrings in this one. Things pick up when Robert Z'Dar and Linnea Quigley turn up. It's definitely not the worst slasher film I've watched, and it's free from any of that smug Scream self-referential crap. It just tried to cram too much drama, and not enough scares.

drhumblephd C R A P PURE CRAP COULD NOT BE WORSE WATCHING ELEPHANTS TAKE A CRAP FOR 3 HOURS WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ENTERTAINING.this movie was a piece of trash. one star is generous (because IMDb requires you rate, minimum being one star). with virtually no redeeming qualities, the movie drones on and on and on...do not waste your time and watch this made-for-TV pile of crap; the acting sucked (everyone was terrible), and, as i heard from the grapevine, no one got paid. in fact several of the actors paid to be in the film for the sake of posterity and bragging rights.DO NOT WATCH THIS WASTE OF FILM

iarepacman I watch a lot of horror, I watch a lot of bad horror. Even in bad horror there is usually something of note, or something decent to latch onto and say "at least this part was good". not here. from the opening sequences which contained 2 of the worst performances ever captured on camera, I guess I knew what level of crap i was in for. On a technical level, it was amateur at best. the audio is atrocious fading in and out with different scenes. The special effects were sad and lacking, the plot full of so many unnecessary and just plain ridiculous twists and turns, and once again, some of the worst acting I have -EVER- seen. The plot tries to go for that "Scream" vibe where you suspect everyone, but it does so with no rhyme or reason, and definitely no clarity. Funniest of all, someone attached to the project seems to be voting nothing but 10's on here, but it still only has a score of 3. nice try. Avoid this one at all costs.

Woodyanders The drab tranquility of the sleepy little town of Rockville gets harshly thrown out of wack after four teens are viciously murdered. It's up to stalwart Sheriff Duncan (a strikingly good portrayal by the usually lacking Joe Estevez) and sincere, but rather inept Deputy Charlie Fisher (the engagingly geeky Circus Szalewski), assisted by obsessively thorough Detective Amy Rogers (well played by ravishing brunette Nicole Buehrer), to catch the culprit. The most probable suspect is a young lady who just escaped from a nearby asylum. The young lady is arrested, attempts to get away and is subsequently killed while making her attempt. But the seemingly simple cut and dried case is far from over or solved. In fact, it's just the opening of a whole can of worms which will change several people's lives forever. "The Rockville Slayer" rates as a most pleasant and unexpected surprise. For starters, it's a complex and involving mystery thriller instead of the mindless slasher horror flick its misleading title suggests. Moreover, the well-drawn characters are refreshingly real, flawed and recognizably human. Director Marc Selz, working from his own intricate and intriguing script, delivers a nice smattering of nudity and grisly violence, effectively creates a creepy and unnerving atmosphere, offers plenty of truly startling plot twists, and keeps the pace moving forward at a pleasingly speedy clip. The fine cast all contribute excellent performances, with especially nifty appearances by Linnea Quigley as a local harlot who went crazy and the ever-intimidating Robert Z'Dar as her brutish husband. Kudos are also in order for Joe Harris' crisp, handsome cinematography and Karl Sundstrom's neatly spare'n'shivery synthesizer score. Overall, this baby qualifies as a real strong and satisfying unsung little sleeper.
