There are many things that make a movie good, One, is the creativity that goes into it to make it unique, in which I thought this movie did an EXCELLENT job on creativity. Second, the pace for the Genre of the movie and how well it flowed and kept audiences interested. This movie was a little slow paced but interesting. I would probably consider the pace one of the weakest points of the movie. You have other things that goes into movies as well. I think I liked the movie so much that I am really disappointed that it is not easier to buy or rent. Overall, I am thankful to my favorite movie store, that shut down (Movie Gallery also known as Video Update), for carrying this movie so I could be one of the lucky ones who got the chance to watch this because it is now very hard to find and that is to my biggest disappointment. I would recommend this movie to anyone. Especially those who like unique, creative, movies. This is a rare gem.

In some ways, Stitches is typical Full Moon fare and in others it manages to break free of the mold. There are tiny dolls and they do some horrible things. Those expecting another Puppet Master or Demonic Toys, however, will be greatly disappointed. These are paper dolls and they hold the souls of victims. Mrs. Albright is an elderly woman who comes to a boarding house and proceeds to influence the patrons. Turns out this sweet old lady is really a demon in disguise and she's out to collect souls. Think Needful Things and you'll have an idea of where this is going. The main problem is that Stitches isn't as well written as Needful Things was and when in doubt Full Moon breaks out the killer dolls. Its a shame really because there are some good ideas in the script. Its just that nothing is capitalized on. What we get is a slow crawl from one soultaking to the next. Pity.

A charming old lady named Mrs.Albright guests at a New England Boarding House.She hides a dark secret,because beneath her stitched-on human skin lurks a demon from hell bent on capturing the souls of unsuspecting occupants and imprisoning them for all time in her hideous book of paper dolls.One by one,the residents receive Mrs.Albright's special attention and she is really effective at her job.Admittedly the premise of "Stitches" is quite good,unfortunately the performances are mostly mediocre and the special effects are lame.The lack of nudity is also disappointing.Still the film sustains a pretty creepy atmosphere and the script by frequent Full Moon scribe Benjamin Carr offers some surprises.Give it a look,just don't expect a masterpiece.6 out of 10.

In 1995, when then named Full Moon Entertainment broke away from their distribution deal with Paramount Pictures, they left what was a legacy of low-budget horror films behind them. When Full Moon re-surfaced they released Castle Freak, an excellent piece of horror. After that film, however, the company slowly went downhill.With releases such as Talisman, Curse of the Puppet Master, Totem, and Prison of the Dead, you could tell Full Moon was missing out on a lot, and skipping more beats than an armless drummer. Then, earlier this year, Tempe Entertainment knew Full Moon needed help, and they gave the respectful horror film company A LOT.Stitches has become the third Full Moon film to be released with the aid of Tempe Entertainment, and I must say, I have been most impressed with this union, including this film the most. It plays out like a horror film, but also as a psychological thriller, a new idea from Full Moon Pictures. The evil Mrs. Albright (Probably named after line producer and one of Full Moon's leading women, Ariauna Albright) is actually a demon in disguise trying to take the souls of occupants of a home. After she takes their souls, she makes them into paper dolls who do anything she says. Sounds stupid, right? It might, but it's great.I was really impressed with the films atmosphere, and Full Moon's now trademark digital effects. Usually, the effects don't go over too well, but, this film, seemed completely different, the effects were good, and fit well. This "Who-Dun-It" film is what you need to watch if you just want something original and something that gives what was a struggling film company new life. Next from Full Moon Pictures, Demonicus.
