The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
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.
I can't believe how bad this movie was...i had heard that timo rose was some kind of indie horror genius. No way! Everything about this movie was rubbish.The story is barely there and more than half the running time seems to be padding.The acting is some of the worst i've ever seen. The whole film looks so cheap...the effects were horrible. Films that are given away on youtube have better effects than this.Depressingly this isn't the worse film that I've ever seen but that's more damning of the others than praising of this trash.Seriously, stay away from this crap. I sometimes feel that a movie that gets slated might be worth a watch, just to laugh at.This one isn't.
I really liked Barricade, from the same director (the German Timo Rose), and when Fearmakers finally was released, i was expecting another good mix of ultra-gore with good directing and great fxs like Barricade, but... Fearmakers is like a German gory remake of Ringu or one of those oriental ghost movies that were so popular a few years ago. That can sound at least "funny" but its not. This movie is a waste of time and money, and a waste of talent because Timo Rose can make much better. The plot and the acting here is abysmal, and there isn't so much blood and gore to make us forget all the wrong things in this movie. No, unfortunately this ain't that bloody too. The only good thing about this movie are the FX, thats all. Its not worth at all and i wrote good reviews of movies like Gorotica, Nikos the impaler, Sadomaster and Zombie la creazione. So I'm not very demanding with this kind of movies. 3/10
OK, to truly appreciate this movie you have to consider the work that Tom (Joe Davison) and Sammy (Timo Rose) do to be logical in the first place.If you do, then it is a sure bet that you are a fan of "Ghost Hunters." If not, then the characters of Tom and Sammy are just out there and a couple of ridiculous nerds. Funny? Not really, just strange.All this about a "revenge spirit" and dreams is just a frame for a good old fashioned mystery about the death of Sarah's (Debbie Rochon) sister. Debbie was, of course, her usual great self, even if she had a horrible script to work with. She did her best, man.Blood and gore was good, and, of course, there is the gratuitous flash of Debbie as she steps out of the shower. That alone is worth watching the flick for, in my humble opinion.
Terrible, unwatchable and ridiculous comes to mind when describing whatever Fearmakers was supposed to be.The editing was a catastrophe. Half of the 'effects' seem to be done in Microsoft (TM) Paint...I kid you not. However they managed the rest was just as awful.There are seemingly unending minutes of filming just for the sake of filling the time. Scenes that are pointless, repetitive flashbacks, over and over.They should have just released this on YouTube (TM), even if abandoned there, it is still unable to be classified as a 'movie'. If you pay money to see this, you would have been more fulfilled buying a package of toilet paper.This isn't a movie, it's simply garbage and the ending sentiments echo what you might say to everyone involved in Fearmakers.
