Reviews
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
brianfederson The movie dragged on a bit at the end and the editing wasn't great but I would say this was better than expected. Tongue in cheek horror, pretty girls, blood, guts and love scenes aplenty this was good entertainment. Nobody goes to see this movie expecting it to be Oscar worthy but if you know you're going to see a low budget horror that doesn't take itself too seriously then you will really enjoy it.The acting wasn't superb but considering a number of the cast aren't actually actors or actresses (there is a model in there, a singer and a rapper)I think they did a damn good job. I like the story line of the serial killer Verden Fells and his strange relationship with Kat and how he tortures her mind. There are several interesting and very well done death scenes. I never thought I would say this but I hope there is a sequel!
terrible2 As low budget indies go, you will usually find that you get what you pay for, and let me just say, I didn't pay much for "Frightworld"...Writer / Director: David R. Williams brings us the story of an abandoned amusement park, besieged by the vengeful spirit of a slain serial killer. Not a bad premise, but executed with a bevy of low budget mistakes. The camera work tries to be too cleaver for it's audience, by constantly using shaky quick-cuts to cover the fact that they really have nothing gory or scary to show us. This becomes evident right off the bat, as we are introduced to the would-be killer, and soon realize that the (acting) is the scariest thing happening... After a painfully long title sequence we are brought back to modern times, yet the acting remains the same. "Frightworld" does generate some rather unique cinematography when showing scenery from inside the fun-house, but with an extremely long running time, it can't save the film from it's below average indie hell.There is some mediocre nudity, but not much for gore, which is usually the saving grace for these types of movies.Fans of really bad B-Movies might find something of interest here, otherwise, don't spend a lot of cash.
slimjack Very bad. Very, very bad. As a fellow who aspires to make, be in or - at least - sniff the catering table at a movie set, I find it hard to criticize independents who actually got a movie of any sort made. However, this movie ... oh dear.Realizing Frightworld doesn't aspire to anything more than crude exploitation (an honorable thing in itself) and to try to make it conform to more mainstream standards is a mistake. And to be fair, it is more entertaining than - say - Red Zone Cuba ... but not by much. So I won't try to critique, just let me ask throw out some observations.1) If gore is the point of the movie, shouldn't you be able to see it?2) If you have hire three sound men make sure at least one knows how to operate the equipment.3) In a horror movie your lead maniac must be scarier than a smurf doll. Difficult I know but really...4) There is a lot of talented videographers in the Buffalo/Rochester area, most you can hire really cheap. Get one who knows how to frame a scene.5) Just because you have someone who knows how to use After Effects and other cool programs doesn't mean he should do so every two seconds.6) Kudos for getting the girls to take off their tops but next time, get girls who's tops we want to see taken off.7) Editing should help tell the story or set a mood. At the least in this sort of movie editing should sell the gore gags. A chainsaw suddenly appearing in a characters stomach is not scary, it's sloppy.Some good things. Not all the acting was bad. Jack was pretty good and I liked Acid once she started fighting back. There was some neat imagery, unfortunately it was thrown up on the screen without rhyme or reason. "Acid Poptart" is a name that deserves a better movie. I like the moxie of Frightworld too. Next time, now that they have a movie of sorts under their belts, I hope all involve aspire to something better than Colman Francis. Upgrade at least Ed Wood.
stormruston This was a weird movie. It started out pretty good. A solid sound track behind flash images of gore and mayhem as our psychopath did his thing.Next comes his "down fall" Here i could tell I was in for a real cheesy "B" movie. Poor acting , I mean how hard is it to hold a gun and act like a cop? These guys could not. After the death scene of our psychopath we get the opening credit and the movie starts...From this point on it is bad acting big boobs, the occasional bucket of blood and poorly done death scenes.That said I gave the movie a four because in spite of its flaws it did maintain a sort of creepiness that I just could not quite shake off.I do not recommend this movie but I have to admit I have seem worse.
