Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

movieman_kev A couple rent two dvds from their local video-store (which is the 'Rare Flix' store in NJ, but is supposed to be another nameless store in the film I guess) despite the warnings that they return the movies no later then midnight because they have a rather strict late fee. Anyways, the couple returns home to watch said films (which we are, i hesitate to say treated to so I'll just say forced to watch as well) one has to do with a woman luring random guys back to a seedy motel, the other revolves around a girl getting thrown in a weird jail. Both of them are amateurish in the worst possible way.Apparently both short films were already made and the 'movie' just cobbled a horrible wrap- around segment to showcase them. To make matters worse both shorts are quasi-sequels to two other films. 'The Pick-Up' follows the atrocious "Flesh for the Beast" and 'Damnation' follows the almost equally rancid "Shadow: Dead Riot". Naturally this would be quite confusing for anyone who hasn't seen either of those aforementioned films (and if you didn't, trust me I truly envy you) As an aside, why the couple would rent two films both sequels to films they've never seen before is never explained. But long story short (too late), don't rent this. It's excruciatingly bad.My Grade: FMedia Blasters DVD Extras: a 6 minute Behind-the-scenes featurette; 'the Cutting Room floor' (15 worthless minutes of 'found' TV footage); photo gallery; TV spot for Rare Flix; and trailers for "The Devil's Hostage", "The Pick Up", "Wicked Lake", "Shadow Dead Riot" & "Flesh of the Beast"

Mikel3 I like to support independent films. I watched this one because I'd read it wasn't bad. I was mislead. It stunk big time. The acting was absolutely terrible. Especially the guy that ran the video store. The writing was only slightly better than the acting. The director needs to take some film courses. The cinematography was poor. I would imagine they had little or no budget for this film. I bet most of the background actors were friends of the film makers.About the only good thing I can say for it was the monster effects in the hotel room episode were okay. Who ever did the FX on that scene was able to do a lot with very little.Don't waste your time on this garbage, it is an insult to film lovers. Obviously it was made by untalented people hoping to make a fast buck.

Kellie Stewart The only people that could have given this movie a rating higher than a 1 had to have been involved in making it. It was about as much fun as popping pimples. The female that thought she was sexy looked like she was out of a bad 70's porno and no one in this movie could act. Nudity, cursing and sexual innuendo are not the things that make a movie worth watching. I bothers me that junk like this can even get a distribution big enough for anyone to waste their time watching it. Neither story within the movie made sense. The ringing doorbell made no sense. The murder at the end made complete sense. It reflected the wishes of the viewers. I get tire of giving movies like this a chance only to spend almost two hour being nothing but disappointed. I was going to turn it off after the first 5 minutes so I could honestly say, please don't waste your time with this piece of crap.

dschmeding "Late Fee" roughly categorizes of one of the horror anthology movies. You get 2 horror shorts bundled into a surrounding story. If anything about this movie makes sense its the story that is wrapped around everything...Its Halloween and a couple decides to spend the evening watching horror movies. They arrive late to their local video store to rent some flicks and the owner is just about to close but agrees for them to pick some DVDs which they do among a strange Halloween party taking place in the store. Its all pretty stupid, yet fun seeing a bunch of masked guys as vampires and werewolves giving underground movie tips to the couple but if a movie mentions trash like "Flesh for the beast" you can expect that something bad is coming up. To make a long story short... they rent two totally brutal movies which the owner only gives them after signing the 100 pages shop rules including the special "late fee agreement" and off they go watching 2 really really lame shorts.Now if you are into Troma style stuff the Halloween story is kind of fun but the 2 movies everything is wrapped around are just annoying. I am especially shocked to see that the directors recycled two of their old shorts in this movie, so this thing is a kind of cash-off. First of "Pick up" about a chick meeting a guy, going to a motel and... a come on, you know it. The editing is disgraceful, I haven't seen such an overload of amateurish dissolves for a while. The story is a joke. OK, the chick is pretty hot but the whole thing makes no sense at all.After a short interlude it dives even deeper into "Damnation" which makes even less sense. A chick drives on a highway, gets pulled over by a ridiculously acted female highway patrol officer and is abducted. Next up comes a even more ridiculous sentencing in some dark room, she is thrown into a cell with some other chick and randomly Chick 2 gets a lame cannibal abortion while Chick 1 is sent off to do some snuff movie which ends with one of the most idiotic "twists" of all time and a car driving into a fake sunset that looks like from some school movie project.Its all damn random, the gore is thrown in just for the sake of it and is pretty tame and fake anyway. The ending is what gives the movie its name and I guess you can predict if you look at the DVD Cover. The couple from the Halloween story is kind of funny and the movie references and videostore jokes will please the horror nerds (although even here you mainly get auto-referential jokes about the directors previous movies) but all in all its bad, especially when you realize that you have just been served a recycling of 2 incredibly bad shorts which not even deserved to be released once, less being bundled into this excuse for a feature movie. If a director made such a number of movies and still feels the need to release a collection of shorts which are that bad (I have seen better shorts on the incredibly lame Fangoria Compilations) I wonder if its not time to bury the career.
