Best movie of this year hands down!
As Good As It Gets
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Agreeing to a complete a supposedly-haunted project, a film class begins to suspect the serial-killer subject in their film has come to life and beings stalking them for their efforts to finish the film.On the whole this was quite a decent enough slasher. One of the better parts to this one is the rather impressive amount of work done here on the original film and back-story done, which is done not only through the history with the curse and the problems with the attempts at finishing it but also how the opening works here by showing the fateful incidents which triggered the curse of the disastrous film shoot as well as the great kills highlight this nicely. That carries into the main film shoot itself as the main resurrection here brings the fun of having the true killer interact during filming as everyone is completely oblivious to the true nature of their participant, plenty of mistaken identities in here results in some fine stalking around the set and manages some good moments here. A duel with the doppleganger actor in costume and the chase through the tool-shed are quite enjoyable slasher scenes here which make him out to be quite an imposing physical presence, and there's the big rampage at the end where he's battling with the crew throughout the house for quite some enjoyable battling here that mixes decent kills, fine stalking and brutal brawling into a fine away to end this one overall. There are a few flaws to this one, mainly from the fact that this one's low-budget roots come through quite clearly, mostly with the crew for the movie shoot, the general lack of extras or going around on different locations being forced at the house here for the whole film and the overall presentation throughout here. It's pretty difficult to look at this any other way due to how this looks and feels, which gives this such a troubling facet that it really lowers this. As well, there's also the rather complicated facets associated with the killer here as the origin is pretty off, as he was originally an actor killed on-set in the original set-up yet is claimed to be a supernatural killer based on the people who're trying to film the movie which makes no sense at all. The only other factor against this one is the shortened length, which really feels out of from what it could've been by really rushing through the main sections without really doing a whole lot about it while keeping the finale a bit constrained from what it could've been. These here are the film's biggest issues holding it back.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Brief Nudity and the beginning of a sex scene.
A horror movie is being shot and things aren't going well. It's about a masked killer. The director tells off the killer in front of the cast and crew. He goes crazy and kills two people. He's killed himself and the film is never finished. Twelve years later a bunch of film students decide to try and finish it--but there's a curse. People who try and finish it are killed themselves. The students ignore that. Guess what happens next?The plot is old hat but this isn't bad...for what it is (a low budget slasher film). It's well-made with a young and fairly talented young cast. No one is great but no one is terrible either. It also avoids the obligatory (and needless) female nude scenes. It moves quickly, the gore is nice and bloody and the script doesn't insult your intelligence. Also Molly Ringwald is in this having the time of her life playing a bitchy faded actress.No great shakes but not bad at all. I give it a 7.
This is surprisingly above average slasher, that's enjoyable and well made, with some decent gore!. All the characters are decent, and the story is quite fun, plus Molly Ringwald played the annoying bitch extremely well. I bought this at a pawn shop for a 1$, and it was surprisingly worth it, and the special effects were pretty damn good for the budget, plus I loved the mask the killer wore as it was actually somewhat creepy. The finale was really cool, as I loved how they defeated the killer, and the ending while predictable was very amusing as well, plus all the characters except for Ringwald were surprisingly pretty likable!. It's decently made and written, and I thought it was quite creative and original at times as well, plus some of the death scenes were very impressive. This killer didn't mess around, and I loved it, and Slasher fans(like myself) should really enjoy this film, plus The opening was really wicked too, with them filming the movie!. This is a surprisingly above average slasher, that's enjoyable,and well made, with some decent gore, and I say it's well worth the watch!. The Direction is good. Kimble Rendall does a good! job here with solid camera work, using a creepy setting, good angles and keeping the film at a fast moving pace. The acting is solid!. Molly Ringwald plays the bitch extremely well,and I had troubles feeling sorry for her, after all she was supposed to be the heroine, she turned out better towards the end, but not by much, I'm surprised she decided to do this film, nonetheless she did an excellent job!. Frank Roberts is fantastic as the killer, he is menacing, creepy and had one hell of a mask, and this guy didn't mess around, he was fantastic!. Kylie Minogue plays a bitch very well in her small role. Jessica Napier is cute and does fine as the other heroine. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall well worth the watch!. *** out of 5
The genre of a horror movie within a movie made its way to Australia for this movie. Kyle Minogue and Molly Ringwald are bitchy Hollywood director/actress types and that's about the highlight.The other thing interesting is the killer...is the movie itself. Apparently every horror movie has a REAL killer ready to come out or something.Maybe these actors are great in Australlia but the only ones who did anything noteworthy in the US were the American Molly Ringwald and the European Kylie Minogue.Good way to kill 2 hours but nothing really special about it 5 out of 10
