Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Memorable, crazy movie
Load of rubbish!!
The acting in this movie is really good.
I thought the acting wasn't' bad at all. Of course we are taking into consideration that for most of the actors, it was their first time in a horror. The plot was not very catchy but kept the viewer interested. Evident that Marques was a better actor than Omari. Some of the actors that were main characters did not get enough screen time and at times the repetition of an idea was exaggerated to the point it got annoying but definitely a scare.While it will not win any awards, SOMEBODY is very good. And better than AX 'EM. Far, far better.But it had a kind of 'SAW' feel to it too. I don't want to spoil things too much!!! Overall good job Chris Stokes! Looking forward to more.
When I was watching this movie I was thinking how anybody can write so stupid script because: - In real life if you have a crazy killer on your tail and you find a shotgun you don't forget it in the car.In real life if you have a crazy killer just in the floor and you have a knife you will make sure he will not stand up again.In real life if you have a unarmed crazy killer slashing your friends and you are a big and strong man you didn't stay hidden watching it.And the last in real life if you have a crazy killer slashing your friends you will not leave alone the weaker part of your team.To made it short this movie is a nonsense from the beginning to the end.Somebody help me, I watched this movie.
The things that really made this movie bad, was the acting and the script (what is left you wonder) The main characters were 2 black couples and as side dish for the slasher there were 3 white couples. 20 minutes into the movie, you just hoped the killer would give them a slow and painful dead. Apart from annoying these guys were really stupid. Two examples: The killer is chasing me, i steal a cop car (with a shotgun in it) i hide the car, the killer drives by, i go back to the house to find my friends. I leave the shotgun in the car. Go back to the car to sleep with the shotgun in my hand. A little girl finds me, i go to free my friends, but still i leave the shotgun in the car. Quote: We can't call the cops, we are black. We might upset the town unquote. The movie is funny, the music is cliché and gets eery when nothing happens. If you wanna get drunk with some friends and have a good laugh, watch this movie (make sure it's lots of alcohol) Otherwise it's not worth it.
I Just got a screener of the DVD 'Somebody Help Me'...After reading mixed reviews - a lot of pretty good ones mind, I was quite looking forward to seeing it. The story seemed pretty familiar, five couples go to a cabin in the woods, slasher killer around picking them off one by one...you know the rest!!! But as soon as the film was on I thought it was pretty good. The acting was quite good, above average for a DTV film, and the setting was really good I thought. They chucked in the obvious 'IT COULD BE'S' like all these films do, but this had a kind of supernatural twist to it too, which never really materialised into anything.But it had a kind of 'SAW' feel to it too. I don't want to spoil things too much!!! Also it did have some nice gore effects, (I'm a massive gorehound) although not a gorefest by any stretch of the imagination. This for me was heading for a strong 7/10 - the ending was "Oh, is that it...", it left me totally unsatisfied and kind of cheated in a way as it just did'nt explain what I had just seen for the last hour and a half. Massive let down for us - maybe somebody may be able to help me out! -I just did'nt get it. 5/10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
