Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

jeffeastwood2000-628-193804 This film takes inspiration from many classic films in the psycho killer genre, but its narrative avoids clichés and has a driving force all its own.Frayed is a very interesting psychological horror film. Yes, the acting isn't always that stellar sometimes but it has a lot going for it including several twists and some very good gore scenes. The beginning murder is one of the most graphic I've seen in a movie. It will disturb you, yet you will find yourself wanting to go back and re-watch the movie, wondering what clues you might have missed.The last scene is definitely the most disturbing one of the film (even more than the bloodbath at the beginning).Highly recommended.

richieblac We're lead to believe that a single freak with a screwdriver can scare away and/or overpower multiple people at a time. Please. At one point, FOUR people are deathly afraid of this guy - again, armed with only a screwdriver - as he lurks around outside of the house. Absolutely absurd.I could write a better screenplay in a single night while drunk.The number of high reviews are obviously staged by friends of the crew or the crew themselves. This film follows a cliché formula from mediocre 80's B-movies. For a film beyond the 90's, that's really, really, really bad. And the twist at the end just make it worse, leaving plot holes wide open that any half-decent writer would've seen coming miles away.3/10 for decent production value, a somewhat cool villain, and the totally shocking opening - which was the only good part of the film.

Indyrod This 2007 horror film, has one of the most amazing and gruesome openings of any movie I've seen for awhile. In camera, a Mother is attacked by a killer with a baseball bat, and in pretty good closeup, her head smashed all to hell, in an extremely gory bloody pulp of a mess. I love movies that get off to such a good start. The suspected killer is her own 5 year old Son that has flipped his lid, and after 13 years is being transferred to a psychiatric hospital, when he escapes. Ah you say, HALLOWEEN.... Not hardly, although some reviews have had trouble trying to review this movie without giving away all the twists and turns right into the end credits. Yes, the now 18 year old crazy did escape, and teenagers are dying, when the movie shows a security guard from the hospital being chased by a crazed killer. Other reviewers have been a little more bold, and said, it's a cross between Halloween and Haute Tension. I tend to agree, that "Frayed" has a lot more in common with "Haute Tension" than just about anything else I can think of, and even that comparison is rather remote. Which brings us to the fact, that the story is pretty original, even though you could say homages are paid slightly. This is a damn good horror film, and you do not know what exactly is going on, until even more reveals are exposed as the end credits start to roll. For gorehounds, even though the most graphic almost sickening scene happens right at the beginning, there is still plenty of good old kills to keep the blood flowing. I give this very very high marks as one of the best horror films in the past few years, and an absolutely superb screenplay. After the movie is over, all I wanted to do was watch it again and listen to the commentary. I ran out of time, but that is on the agenda very soon. Don't miss this one, it deserves every horror fans attention.

dbborroughs Son of a sheriff who bludgeoned his mother to death, an event caught on videotape, is sent to a mental hospital. Years later he comes home and the killings continue.Only loosely similar to Halloween this is an odd little film that doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense. Certainly it doesn't have enough material to cover its almost two hour running time. I kept looking at my watch while this was running. The story jumps around between now, then and inside the mind and memories of the various characters to the point that its not always clear as to who is who and what is what. For some people this makes it scary for me it just makes it confusing. I'm not a fan. Other than the opening moments where we see the mother being beaten to death I don't think this really has any scares or tension.I'd take a pass.
