BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
jacobjohntaylor1 This a very scary movie. It is very underrated. It is very scary. It has a great story line. And it will make you go Ah! It will. It has great acting. It has great special effects. Has you are watching it you will go. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!. I not know why it got a 3.4. I give it a 9. It is a great movie. It will scary you. It is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street. And that is not easy to do. If it does not scary you no movie will. It will make you go AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!. It is very scary. When you are watching this movie will go AHHHHHHHHH! It is a very scary movie. See it. You want to get scared see this movie. It is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do.
TdSmth5 Some guy is performing a vivisection on a girl. Other girls are chained elsewhere in the facility. Some lame cop arrives, the guy escapes, the cop chases him. On the roof the bad guy manages to stab a knife in the cop's heart.Later the cop is recovering from a heart transplant. Of course he doesn't want to just get well, he wants to get the bad guy now. Helping him is the forensic pathologist who discovers some interesting bits of info here and there based on evidence found on the discovered body parts.At a bar he meets a psychic who wants to help. She appears here and there without notice and always having some advanced knowledge of something. At some point he has yet another chance to catch the bad guy but again he escapes. Eventually the captain of course takes the cops badge and gun. That seems to be a daily occurrence at police precincts--only in the movies. We learn that the bad guy is actually a physician who removes organs. But he's also a little wacky as we learn when the cop eventually confronts him. Then we learn not just what the crazy doc is up to but also what is going on with the psychic and the cop.The Fear Chamber starts out pretty good with a gritty gory scene with some nudity but then it turns into a low budget cop thriller. The main cast is good, with Tyson standing out in the role of the bad guy, whom we don't see enough though. The guy playing the cop and the captain are alright. The story is good when it comes the the explanation of the evil actions and the explanation of the more supernatural elements surrounding the cop. Unfortunately the movie is hampered by the low budget, cheesy sets, slow story development, and the inability to give us some more horror, gore, nudity.
slimebitch I read some comments on this movie before watching it since it had been rated so low. To start with it made me angry when someone compared this movie with Saw since I happen to love the Saw movies a whole lot. This movie is not even close to Saw, the only thin in common was a cop and a serial killer, which I believe there normally is in every horror movie ever made more or less including a serial killer, there has to be a good cop to try to stop him right?! Anyway I do not wish to spoil your fun. I rated this movie 6/10 because there were a few things that I thought was kind of stupid in the movie, but this didn't spoil my fun watching it. People seem to analyze and reanalyze movies that I think were made for our pleasure and entertainment. Ever since the 80's these kind of horror movies has been made, but in the 80's people didn't complain about how stupid or unreal the movies were, when people died in their sleep in "Terror on Elm-Street" or how stupid the women looked running half naked in "Friday the 13th". This kind of movie is there for our entertainment and some people really needs to push the brain button off while watching some movies. I am a horror movie fan and have been for over 20 years and I have seen a lot of bad movies in my days. "The Fear Chamber" is not one of those, a bit stupid and missed to give me the "creepy feeling running along my back", but accept for that is was totally OK. This movie gave me fun and pleasure for about 1 hour and a half.
cay-9 What first hit me was that this is such a brilliant movie. Then I watched the other 60 minutes and it all faded away.The director of this movie has done a lot of TV stuff and will probably have to stay with that. The cast is a laugh because they are mixing good performance with old TV stars that should have retired or just stayed with TV.The plot is excellent, the effects are really scary. But the long drown out discussions should have been cut out to make a better flow to the movie.The biggest mistake they made in this movie is to concentrate on the lead character's drinking problems and if his boss is gonna believe the star characters visions again, and again and again.This is a pretty good movie that is obviously made fore TV and should stay there.But with just a little more effort it could have been a very good movie.It's good, but its just not making it. How ever its not a waste of time.But it could have been so much more !!!!!
