Sadly Over-hyped

Fresh and Exciting

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I give this movie a 10 for several reasons. The acting was excellent and the movie had the effect that a horror movie is supposed to elicit. This movie brings the same emotions to mind as if and when you have ever had a clown or some other doll sitting in your bedroom at night staring at you, only in this instance it is worse because the doll is a life-sized carved wooden effigy, kind of like a cigar-store Indian. There is subtle suspense throughout the movie, and gets delightfully worse at the end. The horror in this movie is both at times psychological(is it all in their heads?)and at other times actually happening. I recommend this movie to horror movie fans and it is a prized possession in my collection.

This movie is seriously lacking in its one fundamental ingredient; horror. It's amazingly shocking to see what weird choices the film-makers made with this movie, that all go at the expense of the quality of the movie.The main concept and idea behind this movie certainly deserved to get a better treatment. And I also must admit that when the true horror/slasher aspects of the movie kick in, the movie is actually still quite good and enjoyable to watch. But only problem is that it isn't until the last 20 minutes or so that the movie truly becomes a slasher and 10 minutes later it has all ended again already. And what an horrible sudden ending it has. So there is actually very little to enjoy for the horror lovers among us, myself included.The movie is basically all build up and no pay off. The movie keeps dragging on with its character development and only throws in some fake scares to help you to remind that this is supposed to be an horror movie you're watching.This movie is some real wasted potential. I really liked the killer and the whole idea behind him, which makes me wish that this movie was given into the hands of someone more capable, or someone with some more experience with the genre at the very least. This was the first and only, as of yet, movie that Vincent Robert directed. Prior to this he also had very little experience with the movie making business, so why he ever was given the opportunity to directed this movie is a bit of a mystery to me. Wes Craven was in the cast, couldn't he at least had given the film-makers a couple of tips on film-making as well.The movie has a cheap video look over it but hey, that's what you get from an '90's movie. It tries to be like a good genre movie from the '80's but it basically only does this by throwing in a bunch of unlikeable persons, who are also all sleeping with each other, or at least are busy trying to.Granted that this is far from the worst thing I have ever seen but it unfortunately ain't much good, original or interesting enough either.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

What a horrible movie! I won't even go into how bad it was, because this movie doesn't deserve it. What I will say is that if that stupid mannequin, Morty, was chasing me, I'd throw water on him and he'd warp! End of story.

Spoilers I picked this up from the local video store. I was in the mood for a good, old school horror movie and had seen it previously in the store. I had no clue what it was about, so when I popped it in and started watching it, I was pleasantly surprised. I saw that creepy wooden puppet (Morty) and was like, "great! This is going to be super creepy!" You see, I have always been terrified of dolls, puppets, and the like. I know it's ridiculous, but it's true. But, as I continued to watch the film, I was annoyed. There was much potential, but it wasn't carried out. I was becoming more and more disappointed. But, I thought maybe it would get better. Then they start heaping on all this crap that you can't even wade through. He killed his mom, no, his dad did, and his uncle slept with his mom, Morty was there in his childhood, something about Black Peter, weird masks digging graves, the stupid puzzle sphere. I got lost somewhere in the middle of all this crap. I was so confused when I finished watching this movie that I tried to look up explanations, reviews, critiques, and whatnot for it, but I have yet to find something that explains this movie to me. Maybe I'm just really dense, but the friend I watched it with was just as confused as I was, so..... If you know what this movie was was trying to get at, PLEASE TELL ME!Overall, I'd give this movie a 2 out of 10. I might have been able to give a better score if I had understood it. But even not being able to understand it, I know that it was still a B movie and for pretty obvious reasons. Watch it and see for yourself!
