Reviews
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
BA_Harrison Special effects guy Bob Keen sure knows his stuff when it comes to latex and karo syrup, but his directorial skills leave much to be desired. Heartstopper begins in very muddled fashion with serial killer Jonathan Chambers (James Binkley), who might be in league with the devil (although I can't be certain about that) being executed in the electric chair, a raging storm supplying some much needed voltage (for some reason the prison's standard power supply isn't doing the trick).Once nicely fried, Chamber's body is loaded onto an ambulance to be taken for an autopsy, but, en route to the hospital, the ambulance hits a suicidal teenage girl, Sara Wexler (Meredith Henderson). Still alive but injured, Sara is put on the ambulance next to the dead killer and something strange happens when she accidentally brushes against his hand—his tattoo seems to move onto her arm (although why or how this happens is not made clear). On arrival at the hospital, Sara is admitted to a ward and Chambers is sent for dissection. But before the autopsy can begin, the dead killer wakes up (How? Why? Again, I am not sure)...Having regenerated himself by pulling out the coroner's heart (???), Chambers goes searching for Sara, the girl being the only person who can host the murderer's soul and give him a new identity with which he can continue to kill (Why just her?… beats me!).The rest of the film is a drawn out game of cat and mouse as Chambers hunts Sara and fellow patient Walter (Nathan Stephenson), with zero scares and very little in the way of atmosphere. Chambers kills anyone unfortunate enough to stumble across his path—providing the film with plenty of fun gore—but he also has a tendency to talk a lot, his comments even more droll and annoying than those of Freddy Krueger (and speaking of Freddy, A Nightmare On Elm Street star Robert Englund pops up as the local sheriff, who also gets his heart ripped out).After lots of tedious running around dark corridors and hiding in the shadows, Sara finally confronts Chambers, destroying him with the help of a passing whirlwind (yes, you read that right, and it is as stupid as it sounds!).4 out of 10, mostly for the plentiful splatter.
movieman_kev Slutty suicidal Sara (Meredith Henderson) is 'saved' by Sheriff Burger (horror film mainstay Robert Englund) after she gets hit by a car, dislocating her shoulder She taken to a local hospital where the body of a notorious serial killer who likes to rip hearts out of his victims' bodies, is being held whom obviously comes back to life or their wouldn't be a movie (not that I would've minded such a scenario mind you). But ANYways, Sara teams up with an equally unlikable fellow classmate with a chip on his shoulder and is prone to play the race card to escape the 'heart stoppers' undead clutches.This is a very generic teen slasher film that has absolutely nothing new to bring to the table, the gore is not that good and the acting even worse. At the end of the day though I was less angry with the people who made this bottom-of-the-barrel sludge & more mad at myself for wasting my time watching it.
dmuel I'm a sucker for gross-out splatter flicks, or over-the-top horror of any kind, so I end up watching a lot movies I later wish I hadn't wasted the time on. Such a movie is Heartstopper. An over-the-hill Robert Englund heads the rest of the no-name cast, playing a sheriff who watches a serial killer fry in the chair. Englund sends him to a hospital morgue where the killer, possessed of some kinda demonic power, comes back to life with an urge to rip out hearts. Englund is killed by minute 30 or so in the film, but he only has about 10 minutes face time with the viewer. I guess he made his money and left. There is absolutely no plot, no drama and no thrills in this flick, not to mention zero acting, and we are subjected to a series of about 6 or 7 heart ripping scenes for about 85 minutes. If this is enough to make you want to watch this movie, have at it.
julian kennedy Heartstopper: 4 out of 10: After twenty minutes this movie really had me psyched. A true Eighties throwback it begins with two characters, a Death row inmate who has trouble being electrocuted (Shocker) and a good looking suicidal shy girl who is called whore by a bunch of teenage cheerleader vixens (Carrie). They meet in an ambulance and the Death row guys tattoo transfers to the suicidal girl. And we all know what happens next don't we.The girl goes back to high school and takes revenge on the vixen sluts and her mother and everyone else and there is violence and nudity and sexy high school girls kicking ass. (Okay let me calm down for a moment) And had the movie actually done that I would have been happy. Instead it remakes Halloween 2. Yup an abandoned hospital, (The staff is about 5 people) and the serial killer comes back to life using his patented heart through the chest maneuver (hence the name) which looks silly the first time and gets progressively sillier as the movie goes along.In the Jamie Lee Curtis role we have Meredith Henderson who is surprisingly bland for a suicidal girl being chased by a serial killer. The killer is played not by title actor Robert Englund (Who is an Amish Sheriff and leaves the movie fairly early) but James Binkly whose serial killer won't shut up.In fact dialogue is a real problem in this film. Nobody talks like real people. All the conversation is either a witty rejoinder or a plot point or god forbid horrible self-conscious foreshadowing. Needless to say nobody has been crying out for a Halloween 2 (or Visiting Hours) remake.And while the sets are unconvincing and understaffed and the script and story derivative and pedestrian this is hardly the worst direct to video horror movie I've seen. Its biggest fault seems to be it does nothing I haven't seen done better dozens of times before.
