If you ever wondered what happened to Winnie from THE WONDER YEARS, well here she is. Too bad though, cause the movie is a mess.
a horror movie that spoofs horror movies. worth it, if only for the fake Irish accent of William Forsythe.
I was pretty excited to see Juliet Landau here but then I quickly realized she was doing a horrible job acting. In actuality, they were all doing pretty bad. I realize they were pretending to be actresses for their little film but it was still over...

I realize they were pretending to be actresses for their little film but it was still over the top. Furthermore, the plot was interesting but a typical slasher where everything that happens is a "Uh, really?" moment. It's just one unbelievable scene after another. It was fun hearing/seeing all the movie references but they got a little old and silly for the scenes (like saying 'that's not fair' when being killed... a real person dying wouldn't pull out a movie line). Overall, it was fun to watch because the bad acting def. made you laugh.
I get that they were trying to make a self-referencing horror film but I think they kind of failed on just about every single aspect. There was a lot here to bring someone into the movie: Danica McKellar, William Forsythe, Juliet Landau, Lochlyn Mun... (read more) I get that they were trying to make a self-referencing horror film but I think they kind of failed on just about every single aspect. There was a lot here to bring someone into the movie: Danica McKellar, William Forsythe, Juliet Landau, Lochlyn Munro, and so on and so forth, but the severe over-(lack of)-acting and sequences of events that just didn't make sense makes this movie almost unbearable. After the first 10 minutes I simply sat through it just to see how bad it could get. There would have been a way to make this movie and had it be entertaining, but I feel Matt Flynn's direction hindered that. His vision was just uninspired... which is funny since that's the point the movie is trying to make: that horror films today lack imagination. Still, I give them points for trying to do something different in a genre that's all but stale at this point...
Interesting twist on the slasher film, worth knowing something about it before seeing as you will see what they are trying to do
I am a sucker for B-horror movies. This film tries to make fun of horror movies and its cliches. But it's not original enough and becomes what it sets out to ridicule: a crappy horror movie. The sort of "twist" was weak and confusing. At times it was... (read more) I am a sucker for B-horror movies. This film tries to make fun of horror movies and its cliches.

Fredag den 13., Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Psycho, Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein blir nevnt. Noen flere ganger. Med nods til motorsagmassakren, Hellraiser, klovne-skrekk, Saw og stort sett all annen skrekk. Men 5-6 av karakterene er filmgeeks, og film blir diskutert flere ganger, så det er ikke rart referansene sitter løst. Sånn filmmessig er den helt grei, ikke alt for billig preg, noe dårlig skuespill, descent kills og gore, en tvist hist og her, helt okei affær. <- det er svensk tror jeg.
This film is so painfully average that it's painful! It's another of those horror films that try's to be cleaver, but just misses the point.

It's another of those horror films that try's to be cleaver, but just misses the point. As it name checks more horror flick's than I care to mention (as well as ripping many of them off) and berating most of them for being "onroiginal or stupid", this film becomes a parody of the very thing's that it's trying to avoid. It's very predictable and generic. The acting is wooden at best and laughable at worst (check out the guy "from the highlands of Scotland with the irish accent! and the girl with the worst English voice outside of Mary poppins...having said that, she's probably English!!!). I did get some entertainment out of this film though and it's not all bad, it just could have been better.
Another point worth bringing up is that unless I have a faulty copy, the picture quality is very poor and the sound goes all "distand and hollow" about half way through, but as I've said, this could just be my DVD.
The worst movie I've seen this year. Winnie Cooper a killer was great though!
