Best movie of this year hands down!

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I'll start by saying that overall, I enjoyed this movie. It had, for a slasher, a decent plot and the cast did pretty well. Everything was pretty well done, especially for an independent film working on an independent film budget. That being said... is the only "modeling" that the writer and/or director familiar with from Maxim or Playboy? The "modeling" being done was pretty adolescent male fantasy and really nothing like actual modeling. I don't know why, but this just really irritated me for some reason. Overall, I'd say it was worth a look if you have the opportunity and are a fan of independent film and horror.

When you watch horror movies/slasher movies, what keeps you invested? For me it is the cast, here not only is there a great cast, but some real standouts. Now everybody knows Ari Lehman in the slasher world as the "kid Jason Voorhees", but I have been watching some great indie slashers here lately and Ari is all in the horror mix! Having cast a horror vet in a slasher flick only adds to the appeal to me, kudos for bringing him on board. Another standout for me was Don Kilrain as "Jonah" who was our masked madman. With a name like KILRAIN, you expect to have one badass mother____%#^!!, and Jonah is that! Another standout was Molly Miller as "Tiny". Tiny was an interesting aspect to this film, she brought the "humanity" out of Jonah, and I don't know if that is such a good thing! It was also nice to see Janine Sarnowski as "Luna" she did a great job and was kickass towards the end. The plot for this one is straight up, you get a tragic past that creates this villain...who has grown to despise "pretty people"., so what do you think happens to a group of models that cross paths with this creepy brute?!?! Let's just say, beauty is only skinned deep! This movie boasts a rather large body count, not once was I bored, superb pacing! Being a fan of iconic killers like Jason, Freddy and Chucky, what works for them is their motivations for killing. Jonah has his own unique reasons for killing, one that would make for a nice urban legend to share with others around a chilly campfire! What brings this slasher up a notch from others is not only motivations, but the kills. This movie was pretty brutal, and dare I say offered up some inventive demises. I won't share all of the gory details but the one involving chains with hooks towards the end of the film really made me squirm. I think Jonah has more to do, with that diabolical mask and his ability to select from a wide variety of "kill tools", I think this is one character begging for sequels! I always look forward to reviewing these indie films, many boast about being a "homage" to the 80's, while I think others just do. With this one I do get a little nostalgia from that decade, it's almost a mix of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Jonah's brutality mixed with a little Twisted Nightmare! I say give this one a peep creepers, two very big thumbs up!

After a recent viewing of Fright Teck Pictures latest horror endeavor "Kandie Land" I didn't have the greatest of expectations. Nothing being said against the crew or talent involved but one simply learns that, when viewing a no-budget production such as this, you must simply lower your standards. Well I must say that, overall, I was Pleasantly surprised by this little film! What a fun nod to the classic slashers of the early 80's! The story-line is very simple and offers up the classic "tortured soul turned villain" shtick. Jonah Kandie is very much you cliché big, bad monster in a creepy, heavily textured mask that looks rather effective in low lighting. He takes out his lifetime of pain and internal rage on young, unsuspecting women who accidentally stumble onto his territory (aka "Kandie Land"). The girls are beaten, scalped, chain sawed, etc. for no reason other then the fact that they are "pretty people". Yes, this production doesn't demand a lot of deep thought from its viewers. Let's be real, a movie such as this shouldn't have to. It's your typical hack and slash movie and these films don't need to be much more then boobs and gore. Both are offered here. Success! The acting is pretty solid for this level of filmmaking (with one or two weaker exceptions) and often times the performers prove to be extremely entertaining. There are several moments of humor that balance out well with the consistent violence that is well paced through-out the length of the film. Many of these more brutal scenes are amplified thanks to the sleek and fluid camera-work and creative lighting that gives the film a darker, shadowy look when needed. The gore is extremely effective, especially on such a small budget! There are several bloody sequences that are very original, especially the violent scalping and the eye-burning. Well done! The one element of this film that truly helped it to stand out against the rest of the formulaic slashers out there is the introduction of the character "Tiny". She is a unique and odd little thing who adds a level of sympathy and caring to the otherwise blatantly commonplace hulk that is Jonah Kandie. Without her character, this story would likely suffer from being too much of a stereotype and possibly come off as more of a rip-off then a tribute to the other genre-classics that came before it. Her side story is certainly unique and(not to mention well played by the adorable Molly Miller) and will likely keep a viewer invested in what is otherwise a very simplistic storyline.The only other complaint I care to mention regarding this film is the severely overlooked side-story the is used to open the movie. Why start the film off with a well played and interesting character and then never touch upon her story again afterward? If you view the movie you'll more then likely understand where I'm coming from. I feel that her story could have possibly provided far more depth to a movie that otherwise deals with a color-by-numbers killer going after a group of bimbo models. Ideally, if there ever is a sequel, it will expand upon this story and thus offer a more serious tone to balance out the moments of humor that fit in so well with this genre.All in all, this film proved to be an extremely entertaining watch! I would certainly recommend it to fans of the slasher-genre, especially the ones who've learned to appreciate that same-old, same-old horror-movie formula we've come to love. This film definitely isn't a groundbreaking piece of cinema by any means, but it is loads of fun! "Kandie Land" is well executed, immensely entertaining, surprising well shot, and will no-doubt be highly appreciated by anyone who enjoys low-budget horror!

Independently produced, Kandie Land is one of those rare films that comes out of nowhere and hits you over the head. Like a shotgun blast to the face, the filmmakers pour their heart and soul, and love for the genre, into each and every frame you see on the screen.Produced on a budget that wouldn't even cater a studio film for a day, its shortcomings add to the film's overall charm and really shine a spotlight on the care and craftsmanship that was spent during the making of the film. Beautiful women, often-times gut busting laughs, and all out carnage, mixed with a compelling tale, Kandie Land is the kind of film that made going to the drive-in back in the late 70's so much fun. Well worth the price of admission.
