After this film's godawful, multi-coloured opening credits I really didn't think that matters could get much worse, but they do: Dante Tomaselli's Horror is quite possibly the most incoherent piece of garbage I have ever seen, the story veering erratically from one scene to another with absolutely no attempt at narrative cohesion, the acting uniformly terrible, and the 'special effects' laughable. I have a pretty high tolerance for bad movies, but Horror had my finger hovering over the off button more than most.To give you an idea of how bad this film is, a goat gives by far the best performance in the film, and probably would have done a better job at directing had it been given the chance. There's a moment when a guy turns blue with cold—I've seen better face painting at a kid's party. To be honest, I didn't understand what the hell what going on, but I really didn't care enough to try.If you're determined to give this film a go, I suggest trying my drinking game to help make the experience a little less painful: take a shot every time the goat appears and whenever a door swings shut by itself, but don't be surprised that, even when totally s**t-faced, this film proves to be a complete and utter bore.
... View MoreI enjoyed this film for the most part. It was a decent surprise.Was nice to see Felissa Rose in a film with a decent budget again (although her part here was beyond limited).The visuals would be the main factor in recommending this flick. The atmosphere is moody and surreal, and the sets interesting enough to keep your attention.I guess my main problem with this film, and so many like it, is the fact that it drips with pretension. Too often filmmakers (usually on the independent scene) confuse a pretext with a story, and try to force their point of view through visuals instead of coherency. While the director's next film was more thoroughly watchable (and easier to comprehend), this picture is still a nice change of pace for folks who are tired of mainstream cinema. It looks nice, just seems a little bogged down in it's own pretension.
... View MoreTomaselli has essentially made every horror movie he has ever wanted to make by making HORROR (duh... I think the title says it all). Pretty darn good for a rookie director. But just like Lynch.... C'mon man don't make me watch the movie more than twice! It has now been viewed in my house 3 times, and guess what? THERE IS NO MEANING!!!!!! JUST FUN! YOU MUST SEE SUICIDE CIRCLE... YEAH YOU
... View MoreI was glad to get a hold of the DVD of this movie and now own it. Although the dialogues in this film are very thin nevertheless the story was solid and it's very much like an experimental Stephen King type film. The stories take place at different times when some youngsters escape from a rehab and their guilt kills them all. Interesting seeing the Amazing Kreskin in his first acting role and a nice performance by Christie Sanford as the crazy Mrs. Salo who very much resembles a cross between Linda Blair and Karen Black. Oh and of course a great and effective cameo by Miss Felissa Rose as the Art Therapist and it was one of the most effective roles she had throughout the film and I couldn't see anyone else playing her role and it goes to show that no matter how small the role is you can easily leave an impression in the film and Rose received alot of exposure for her character.
