Jacomedi A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
ninacarroll111 This is a great dark comedy. Unlike most of Hollywood's big hits it actually has a plot. Nice twists and turns keeps you wondering. The actors are not the big million dollar over-rated ones that you see in absolutely everything. Most people I mention this movie to have never even heard of it. This is not some cheesy, gory horror movie. It falls more under the Suspense genre. This is the perfect movie if you are tired of the same old, played out, predictable crap that is churned out by the Hollywood machine such as all those awful zombie movies.The only bad thing about this movie is that it is not out on DVD yet only VHS. Go get this movie today!!! It will be well worth your time.
preppy-3 I only caught the last half of this on cable yesterday but I was able to figure out quickly what was going on. I didn't intend to watch it, but I couldn't stop! It's a weird little tale filled with pitch black humor (that's probably why it barely got released), some neat twists and turns and the cast giving it their all (especially Anthony Michael Hall and cutie Craig Sheffer). I didn't quite understand the identity of the narrator at the end (I'm assuming it was the girl) but, that aside, it really works. I'm not sure where this was shot but it gives you a real feeling for the Deep South. A sick, funny little movie. Worth catching.
athanaric I casually watched this one night on cable and giggled at the small details such as the Southern vernacular and wise sayings, the classic Rush t-shirt on Mr. Hall, the pot smoking Cletus, etc... Since then I've seen this 6 times and love this movie now! It's a bit of a classic to me. It has a great ending that will make anyone smile and the intricacies of the movie come out if you really pay attention. This gets **** from me.
MayhapsItWasGoodBackThen I don't think this flick was that bad. I rather enjoyed watching it to be honest. Witty dialogue. Hillbilly humor. And although the actors are pretty unknown they all pull it off quite nicely. Especially the narrator does a great job. Creepy! ;)Like he cleverly points out: "In the end everyone gets what they deserve." I think this movie wasn't even meant to be taken seriously. It's just fun to watch because you can never know exactly what's going to happen next. And that's refreshing for a change. ;)
