Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Joaquin Verdun This is a long and boring movie with horrible acting, bad directing, long scenes that don't add nothing to the story and that only has 4 deaths? WHAT?!It takes 27 minutes to get to the first death, but the course to it is so slow and uninteresting that you may get bored pretty quickly. There are two good things in this film, at least for me: the music and the ending. the music is really cool and pretty catchy, it makes a lot of the scenes a little more fun and up bit. the ending was what the entire movie should have been, and that sucks because it's pretty funny and bloody. For me, it was a waste of time and a huge disappointment.Do you agree with me or do you find this movie entertaining and recommendable?
Rich Wright I owe this film a debt of gratitude as, increasingly sick of the tiresome goings on, I loaded up Football Manager 2013 on my phone while it was still on... And I'd forgotten how much I LOVE that game. I'm playing as Rangers you see, and I'm currently unbeaten...What? You want you know about the movie? Are you an insane masochist? What part shall I describe? The mind-numbingly bad music? The tomato sauce that's supposed to pass for blood? The MANY time-wasting sequences of teenagers at the beach, teenagers out at sea, teenagers round a camp... etc? The S L O W pace which makes it a chore to sit through? The fact that if this is worthy of an 18 certificate, I'm Bonnie Prince Charlie?Forget it. I'm going to back to thrashing the minnows in the third division... Clyde up next. GOODIE!! 2/10
Cedric_Catsuits I tried hard to think of a reason to recommend this, but the best I can do is say it was ahead of it's time in terms of subject matter. The script is appalling, the acting wooden, and the gore non-existent. Yes it's from a bygone era, and from a historical point it may be of interest to some dedicated film buffs. But as a piece of entertainment or art, it fails miserably.There is one 'lol' moment - well documented here - and a few unintentional laughs at the expense of the players. Gordon Oas-Heim is to be credited for making an effort, and with a better script and cast maybe he could've made a decent movie out of it, but the material just isn't there. I actually felt sorry for him both as an actor and as a character, for getting involved in something so dire! It's best viewed as a 'so bad it's good' exercise, maybe with some buddies after a few pints of strong ale. Or am I missing something?!
Coventry "Color me Blood Red" completes the infamous Blood-trilogy by the even more infamous director Hershell Gordon Lewis and, although my least favorite film of the three, it's another silly entertaining and smutty gore classic. Don't look for many film-making qualities here, as the story is rather unoriginal (imitating Roger Corman's 1959 "Bucket of Blood"), the acting is unspeakable and – especially compared to "Two Thousand Maniacs" – it's clumsily edited together. Good old Lewis brings the art of finger painting to a whole new dimension here, when mentally unstable artist Adam Sorg discovers that the blood of his girlfriend's cut finger supplies him with the exact right shade of red he needs for his macabre paintings. He's going to need more, of course, and thus he kills her as well as various other models in order to complete his masterful art gallery exhibits. I spotted LESS gore than in the previous two Blood-trilogy films, still there are some effectively nauseating scenes, most notably the one where Sorg literally squeezes all the blood out of one his victims' intestines. Other than the gore, there are the hilariously inept dialogues and the complete lack of context to enjoy. If you're not into The Godfather of Gore's work, however, this will just seem like a mindless and sadistic trash-movie.
