Dolly Film Review

Right now Shudder seems to be the go to place for good original films as they do release films like In A Violent Nature and Dark Match to name but a few. With them now releasing another new film that whilst it does have a very familiar slasher setting that being the woods it does tell a unique story with unique characters and heck it could even be argued that the films villain is unique as there hasn't a villain quite like the one in the film that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I review the film that deserves more love at the box office with the film in question being called simply just "Dolly" enjoy.

The plot of this film is a boyfriend and girlfriend go out in the woods to do some camping where the boyfriend has plans to propose only for the couple to find themselves in the fight for their lives against someone wearing a baby doll costume and mask. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this films plot being one that is oddly refreshing to see due to the fact that it's not as cut and dry as it might appear to be on the surface as the plot of this film is one that whilst yes it does have the familiar setting with the film being set in the woods the story on the whole is one that's quite new with this being something that the film should be applauded for as unlike the Scream sequels it's not telling the same story over and over again it's giving us something new with the plot being one that does work really well due to the fact that the film does tell in chapters with each of it's seven chapter titles corresponding to something that happens in that chapter and while yes the films plot isn't as strong as it could have been with the plot feeling more like an afterthought to the films films this is also something that could be said for alot of eighties slasher films as well as the film does have a plot that would feel right at home in an eighties slasher film with the only thing that makes it stand out being the fact that the film do a solid enough job in telling it's plot whilst also keeping us the audience fully engaged with it's plot as well with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III and John Dies At The End star Fabianne Therese as Macy , Russ Tiller as Billy , Kate Cobb as Rachel and Michalina Scorzelli as Aunt Sadie. Also starring in this film is Mallrats and The Wolf Of Wall Street star Ethan Suplee as Tobe , Pro Wrestler Max The Impaler as Dolly and The Dukes Of Hazzard and American Pie star Seann William Scott as Chase.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this film not rally having that many known actors with the only somewhat known actor being Stifler from the the American Pie films therefor no one would have had any clue of what to expect from this film from an acting point of view as it really could have gone either and thankfully we did manage to get some really good acting in this film which was something that would take alot of people back as by all rights this films acting should have been at best OK and while yes granted it doesn't raise to anything above average it's also not as bad as it really could have been either with the best actor in the whole film not being any of the films slightly known actors but oddly enough being Max The Impaler as Dolly as while everyone else has there face to get across emotion and is able to speak lines of dialog Max doesn't have that as the character of Dolly where's this big fiberglass head designed to look like the head of a baby doll and doesn't talk at all therefor they only have body language to get across just what it is there character is thinking or feeling and that's in and to be fair they do get across just what it is that there character is thinking and feeling all by there actions and there body language alone with the acting that's in this film really being helped by the fact that the script for this film is just so good that all this films actors have to do it just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

While the films characters aren't the best characters out there they are quite easily alot more better then the characters that we got in The Bride. As this films characters are actually pretty well done characters for the amount of time that alot of them have on screen as for no other reason other then scheduling alot of this films more well known actors don't get to appear in this film all that often and yet even with that working against them the makers of this film still managed to have some really well done characters with Dolly herself being a good example of this as while she's basically every other eighties slasher villain only now she's in a doll mask there is more of a warmer side to her as she doesn't just attack people at random she only kills people that are mean to her with her only injuring alot of people something which a character in the film does push her to that limit and while she will kill you if you get in her way she's the type of character where if you stay out of her way she'll stay out of your way. With another decent character being Macy as she is someone who isn't really afraid of commitment as she does want to marry Chas what she doesn't want is to be left raising a kid which Chas has and yet over the course of the film we do see other parts of her character like we see how resilient that she can be and how quick she can think on her feet and whole she doesn't always make the smartest choices when she's captured by Dolly that is something that could be said for any horror character and isn't something that exclusive to her character with the thing that is exclusive to her character being that she is far to trusting of a person as she trusts that someone want harm her when she helps them out when she's trying to escape Dolly when everything about the person says that he's untrustworthy and low and behold he turns on her the very first chance that he gets. Which is a good example of how just how well done that alot of this films characters are when compared to The Bride as in that film that characters are at best cardboard cutouts of characters and here they feel like actual people.

Due to how this film visually looks it gave of very strong Grindhouse vibes as much loke in those films the picture did break alot of the time. The film did also have feel like it was very cheaply made like lot of grindhouse style films were and while this is something that would work against a more modern big studio film for a smaller independent film it's something that does work in the films favor as it helps to make the film feel more real almost as if we the audience are there watching the characters going through these terrible events and while the film doesn't push things as far as Grindhouse itself did interms of it's content it pushed them far enough to make you feel uneasy about what might happen next and to be fair that's all it had to do as with this being a straight up horror film that's designed to look cheap and nasty it didn't need to give you any big expensive looking set piece or give that alot of make up effects it just needed to create tension and let it sit with you and that is something that alot of these smaller independent horror films do when there done right as they know that they can't compete with films like Weapons or Sinners for example but what they can do is give an expirence that those films can't give you due to the fact that there being paid for a big studio. With a studio like Shudder taking the reigns and due to that we do het alot of unique films and expirences as again much like with Grindhouse or other low budget films your not going to forget this film in a hurray as it is a film that is that unique and is that fresh with it feeling like a true successor to the slasher films of eighties in both spirit and tone.

If your struggling to choose which film to go and see in the theaters either this film or The Bride then choose this film. As not only are you getting a well crafted original story with characters that you actually like but this is a smaller independent film and yet it's only made a little under five hundred thousand dollars right now and yet it deserves to make so much more then that while yes this film does have alot of flaws in it like the fact that the film is somehow split up into seven chapters when it really didn't need to be and the fact that the film doesn't really have alot of kills in it this is a film that is still a really enjoyable film due to the fact that it's made by people that quite clearly have a love for the genre and whereas with The Bride you get the impression that the people making that movie have never seen a horror film in their life or if they have it was once and that was it and while yes this films plot isn't the strongest one out there and while yes the films characters could need a little bit of work as could the story it doesn't matter as this film feels like a thrown back to the slasher films of the eighties and those didn't have the best plots in them and they very rarely if ever had the best characters in them and yet they were still fun to watch as they knew to be a horror film first and everything else second and that's what this film was proud of being and it's also something that makes this film perfect for Shudder as this is a film that wouldn't get made by a major studio as they don't like to make the typical horror film let alone one that's a throw back movie of sorts and while yes this film could be better in alot of respects it's also one that's really so unique in it's approach to telling it's story that you can't help but fall in love with it.

Where this film does somewhat fail is in it's twist as while the twist is something that won't be given away here in this film review. It is something that would have been more better if they didn't sign post it to you that this person was untrustworthy to begin with as the second that Macy unlocks this person that Dolly has chained up in the room next to he starts acting all creepy and saying these creepy and heck he even starts saying them before he's unlocked which does give it away that he's not a trust worthy person with this being where Macy starts to act dumb as the character until that point had been pretty smart and while she wasn't the smartest tool in the shed she did know when to use her brain and when to act like a goofball and yet here near the end of the film she just trusts this person who is acting like a creep all for no one good reason. Heck she even gets out of the car that she's in near the end of the film just to pick her engagement ring this is despite the fact that the killer is mere few feet away from her which is just stupid as Dolly very easily could have come back to life for that one last scare with this being made even more dumb when you take into account that she technically never accepted the proposal in the first place therefor she would have no reason to grab the ring or even obsess over at let alone risk her life to go and get it back with this being something that could have been fixed with a rewrite of the films script as then it could have been explained why she wanted to get the ring back and why she risked her life to get it back and while it doesn't hurt the film with her acting as dumb as she does in the film it is something that does feel at odds with her character.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and sixteen minuets and fifty three seconds. Which to be fair to this film is pretty much the exact grand total running time that you would expect a film like this one to have as this film is meant to be a throwback to the slasher films of the eighties and those didn't typically have that long of a running time with this film having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place and yet even with this mind this film really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely. As the film doesn't really take the time to fully develop it's plot with this being due to the fact that the film quite literally stops it's plot every fifteen minuets to start a new chapter and while that is something that would work for a film like The Hateful Eight that film also had a much more longer running time to it and therefor could afford to do it where as here in this film they don't have that privilege therefor the every single scene from when the characters first enter the woods needed to be about advancing the plot of the film with this kind of effecting the films lack of character development as the film doesn't really give the characters that they needed to be more well developed characters with the only character who gets some sort of character development being Dolly herself when she goes to being the villain to being somewhat of a hero when she kills the person who was going to hurt Macy just because he was taunting with going right back to being the villain when she realizes that Macy doesn't want to be her living her doll with the rest of characters not really getting any kind of character development whatsoever with this being something that could have been addressed if the film was even just ten minuets longer but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a slasher that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt tat the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. While this films kills are pretty decent the film doesn't really have enough kills in the film with there really only being about two kills in the whole film and that's really it with the rest of the film being spent with Dolly torturing Macy which is fine but for a slasher film you really do want to have more kills in it as that is why you come to a slasher film in the first place the best comparison would be going to a Scream film and not having the mystery of who Ghostface is in it as it would just feel weird. With the best kill in the whole entire film being when Dolly breaks Chase's jaw with her shovel which might not seem like much but then he spends the rest of the crawling to get to Macy and when he does finally reach her at the end of the film Dolly sees him and after him begging her to kill him and she finally rips the rest of his jaw off killing him which is just such a cool kill as it's one that we very rarely if every get to see in films with it being something that does work in this film as it's something that does make you wonder just how it was that they managed to pull that effect of. With the only thing that lets the kill down being the fact that we don't get to see Chase and Macy together all that much in the film and that's really it with the rest of the films kills being just as good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall it doesn't really need saying at this point but I really did like this film as while Scream 7 is easily the better of the two films this film has something that that film was never going to have on it's side that being the fact that this is an original film that is well made in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in his very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally use in this very review from Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Dark Match Film Review

There are two things that very rarely if ever go together and that's the sport of professional wrestling and horror movies. Yet Shudder has now just released a wrestling based horror movie and since I love both horror and wrestling you all just knew that I had to check this movie out the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I review the film that shockingly doesn't have that many actual wrestlers in this wrestling based horror movie with the film in question being called simply just "Dark Match" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a small time promoter is given the opportunity for him and his wrestlers to perform infront of a much more bigger crowd he jumps at the chance without realizing that both he and his wrestlers will have to  compete for there lives. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as the plot of the film is an interesting plot with the plot of the film doing a good job of blending the horror aspects with the wrestling aspects really well and in a way that feels natural and organic and while the plot of the film could be seen as being a rip off of Pro Wrestlers Vs Zombies even down to having a pro wrestler in the film but here it is something that works as there are enough new elements to the films plot that does make it feel fresh and organic again and just like alot of Shudder's film this film is vastly different from all of the mainstream horror films that are coming out so much so that even from this films plot alone you can tell that no major Hollywood film studio would dare to touch this film as the plot of this film is just that weird and bizarre but in all of the best ways possible with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Steven Ogg as Joe Lean , Michael Eklund as Spencer and Sara Canning as Kate The Great. Also starring in this film is Jonathan Cherry as Rusty , Ayisha Issa as Miss Behave , Leo Fafard as Lazarus Smashley , Mo Adan as Enigma Jones , Geordie Cheeseman as The Talent Scout , Stephanie Wolfe as Carol Ann , Marie Zydek as Seductive Follower , Dianne Wulf as Woman In Crowd , Jonathan Lepine as Thick , Chris W. Cook as Director , Troy Fyhn as Naked Party Guy , Michelle Meade as Hot Tub Woman , Christopher Allan Arp as Outside Guard , A Burley Redneck and A Ringside Guard , Justin Lawrick as Thin and one of this films executive producers Chris Jericho as Prophet.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this films acting being really alot more better then what it really had any right to be as alot of this films actors aren't that well known and as such it would have been very unwise to expect great performances from any of this films actors and while the performances aren't great they are really good with the likes of Steven Ogg and Chris Jericho being the best of the bunch with Ogg even channeling his inner Trevor Phillips in certain scenes which only serves to make his performance alot better and while Chris Jericho could have been a little bit more better his performance did feel true to the character presented on screen with his character being someone is kind of cagey and is always keeping things to close his chest and Jericho does portray him as such with the acting that's in this very film not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which s something that does hurt the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

This films characters aren't that well thought out with alot of them being nothing more then just there wrestling characters and that's really it. Which is something that really doesn't work given how wrestling is presented in this film and as a result of that is the fact that the makers of the film really should have given alot more thought into it's characters and given them fledged personalities instead of just making them very note characters which is something that does get old after awhile and it is something that prevents us the audience from liking alot of the films characters as the only one to get  decent amount of thought put into his character at least from the heroes point of view is Steven Ogg's character and even then you could make the case that he's just playing a more tamer version of his character from GTA V  which is something that does work decently enough for this character but at the same time tho it would have been nice if the makers of this film did indeed give us anything that made these characters standout from one enough as alot of the characters just blend into one with this not really being helped by the fact that alot of the characters being really unlikable which does make it hard to form a connection with any of this films characters and while Steven Ogg's character does come across as being somewhat likable it does take a while for him to get there by which time it's far to little to late and what's worse is the fact that this is something that really could have been fixed with a rewrite of the films script.

With this being a wrestling based movie you'd expect the wrestling to be really good sadly tho that is not the case. As to be frank the wrestling that's in this movie is the kind of wrestling that you'd expect to see in a kids wrestling show and not something that you'd expect to see on TV with it being made painfully obvious that this films actors didn't do any or alot of the wrestling moves in this film as the camera would cut to shot where you can't see the face of the actor performing the move and while this kind of kid show wrestling would be fine if this was a kids wrestling movie where wrestling is being presented as something that's real here tho it's something that really doesn't work as wrestling is being presented as something that's scripted and this is an adult wrestling movie and as such there really should have been more effort into making the actual wrestling aspects of the movie look more well and heck they even have a wrestling legend in Chris Jericho in the cast so they very easily could have gone to him and asked him to train up some of the actors because it does come across as being obvious that none of this films actors had ever stepped foot in a professional wrestling ring and there characters are meant to be pro wrestlers so it would have helped the film out in the long if the actors where given time prior to filming the movie to get the ring and learn a few really basic movies that could then adapt and use in this movie but for some reason the makers of this movie chose not to go that route and as a result of that is the fact that we get wrestling that not only looks fake as heck but alot doesn't look as good as it really could have done given that the characters performing them really are meant to be professional wrestlers.

To give this film at least some sort of credit it does use the wrestling aspect of this film in a really creative and fun way. By giving us matches in which the wrestlers themselves can only win if they end up killing there opponent which is a fun aspect to the film and it's one that the film does indeed take as fully advantage if as it really could have done by giving a horror themed spin on the classic inferno match and with each match type being based on one of the four elements it means that we do get to see some really inventive matches in this movie but even those can't take away from the fact that the overall quality of the wrestling as a whole is just bad and while yes this film most likely had a really small budget thus most likely couldn't afford to have some actual wrestlers in this movie it is something that would have helped this movie out in the long run as they would know how to take the moves that the characters do to each other in this movie and make them look good which in turn would make the movie look even better then what it already is and while people who love horror won't care about how good the quality of the wrestling is in this movie the people who love wrestling certainly will and if your making a wrestling based horror movie then you need to cater to both of those audiences and that means not only having some really good looking kills and gore but it also means having some really good looking wrestling as well.

Without giving anything away the ending for this film is pretty bad as this film does the one thing that films really shouldn't do. With that being just end for no rhyme or reason and that is something that does make the ending to this film feel alot like sequel baiting when infact it should have just been focusing on wrapping up the story of this film and while yes this is film is decent enough that it could score a sequel but given that Shudder very rarely if ever hand out sequels it makes no sense for them to have an ending that's open ended that it could quite possibly leave itself open to a sequel as all that does is make it look like that the makers of this film are thinking about sequels when what they should be thinking about is making a film that people want to see more off and characters that people want to see more from something that this film sadly doesn't do as the world that this film creates isn't interesting enough to where they could do sequels and the characters aren't likable enough to were you want to see them in sequels and while the wrestling aspect of this movie could have been improved upon if they did do a do a sequel there's nothing in this films plot that really does leave the story open for further films as everything gets tied up in a nice little bow by the end of the film all of which makes this films ending seem pointless with it only being included in there so that the film can show us it's pretty bad to sometimes decent looking CGI monster and that's really it ad that's not enough to justify having a whole scene in your movie.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty three minuets and forty three seconds. Which is pretty much the exact grand total running time that you'd expects a film like this one to have and to this films credit this film really does have just the right amount there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho the films characters really aren't that well developed and thought out with the same thing also being true for the plot of this film as well with the film introducing things and then very quickly dropping them seemingly for no reason whatsoever all of which makes it feel like that the makers of this film really aren't taking as full advantage of there running time as they perhaps could have done as you very easily could have developed all of your key characters and the plot of your movie within that running time heck just look at the 1984 film version of A Nightmare On Elm Street as a good example of that as that film had a very similar running time to this film and yet it developed it's plot and it's characters and it took full advantage of it's running time by also developing the world upon which the film takes place in none of which are done in this film with this film feeling like it has thing running time just so the makers of the film can say that they made a feature length film with Chris Jericho in it and that's really it and that's not good enough reason if your not going to justify your film having this long of a running time but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror film that really does means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With the film having some really decent kills in it all of which are play on the type of match that there in like the fact that the female lead of this movie Miss Behave wrestlers the character of Kate in a water match and she wins be dowsing her in water and snapping her neck but the best kill in the movie goes to either Thick or Thin as they take another tag team in a wind match where one of them cut open pretty badly which is just such a cool kill with the only kill that's a bit of a let down is oddly enough that of Jericho's himself as even tho he's mean the main villain of the film his kill is treated more as an afterthought and really isn't as over the top and as gory as it really should have been as that would been more a fitting end for this character but instead the kill that they did go with just felt like a let down when it should have been so much more bigger and more extravagant then what we ultimately ended up with as the kills for all horror film villains really should be over the top and be very satisfying because of it and that's sadly not something that we got in this very film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while it would be hard to say if this is the best pro wrestling based horror film out there simply because of the fact that I haven't seen alot of the others what I can say is that this film is a flawed but delightfully twisted film that is sure to please the people who love wrestling in one respect but is sure to please the people who love horror films in alot more respects as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images hat I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Bloody Axe Wound Film Review

There are alot of horror films released every single year and as such it would be physically impossible for people to know and watch every single one of them. With films much like the one that i'm going to be talking to you all about today going unnoticed and while sometimes that does really mean that we have a sleeper hit of a film in this case it really doesn't and so then join me as I review the film that puts a new spin on he slasher genre with the film in question being called simply just "Bloody Axe Wound" enjoy.

The plot of this film is the daughter a famous serial killer wants to follow in her fathers footsteps and will do anything to prove that she's a good killer. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was inn all honesty not that bad however tho at the exact same time this films plot wasn't all that good as the film does nothing interesting with it's unique set up which has the add on effect of making this set up seem wasted when if anything this kind of a set up where the horror movies seen in this small town actually happened is a good set up all the film needed was a decent enough script to pull off it's plot and yet the film instead feels like something that would have been made in 2020 as that's just how tired and played out the plot of this film feels like half of the time but credit where it is due the plot of this film is a very unique plot which does go to show you that creativity in the world of horror isn't dead you just have to go looking in smaller places to find it and while a bad plot will always be a bad plot you always have to give a film points for telling a story that's as unique as the plot of this film is with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Sari Arambulo as Abbie Bladecut , Molly Brown as Sam Crane and Billy Burke as Roger Bladecut. Also starring in this film is one of this films producers Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Butch Slater , Eddie Leavy as Glenn , Sage Spielman as Laverne , Margot Anderson-Song as Patty , Matt Hopkins as Mackenzie , David Littleton as Mark , Keaton Morris-Stan as Drunk Lady , Jahdey Wright as Bryant , Rena Burkhart as Hip Girl and Lizzy Cenicola as Daisy.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us inn this very film was in all honesty really good. With this films acting being one of the things that the film actually got a lot of praise when it was released back in December of last year and it's not heard to see why that was the case as the actors that are starring in this film really do turn in some really good performances all throughout this film and while yes it would be super easy to say that Jeffrey Dean Morgan turns in the best performance as Butch Slater that honor instead goes to leading actor Sari Arambulo as Abbie Bladecut who really does have to carry the overall vast majority of this film and she does so with such ease that it's easy tot picture her playing roles outside of the world of horror as she's just that good that she could very easily make it big as a big time hollywood star and heck all of this films young actors really do hold there own and turn in some really good performances in there own right as well with the same thing also being true for Billy Burke with the acting that's in this very film also being helped by the fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

What really should have been the main focus of this film given it's set up is the bond between Abbie and her dad. Yet the film very quickly drops that idea for no reason when it's that very idea that really should have been the core of the film as it's her dad that Abbie is trying to impress and yet because of the fact that the film drops that aspect of the film in favor for a bunch of stock teen slasher characters it then means that the film looses it's emotional core and the chance to be different from all of the other slashers that are out there and instead becomes just another slasher film only with a slightly unique twist of the format and that's really it and that's not enough to make people want to watch this film and yet if the makers of this film instead chose to focus on the relationship between Abbie and her dad and heck they even could have had them team up for a couple of kills in a fun and funny montage the film just feels like it's lacking that extra special something and when the whole film is built around the fact that Abbie wants to impress her dad so that he will let her take over the family business and become a serial killer in her own right then it means that the films plot losses all kinds of focus when the film decides to drop that aspect of the film and instead focus on the bond between Abbie and the teen characters that she's meant to be killing off which to put in bluntly just isn't that interesting to watch in the film at all.

Again to put it bluntly this films characters just aren't that good as the teen characters are just the stock teen characters from any slasher film only less interesting because of that fact. With the only two interesting characters being both Abbie and her dad and that's mainly because of the fact that one of them is a serial killer and the other one wants to be a serial killer and that's really it as none of this films characters do or say anything that effects who they are as characters as there all just busy being the stock characters from any given slasher film which would actually be funny if the film was using there stock characters traits to comment on the fact that there stock characters but it doesn't as it instead plays it all weirdly straight which makes the characters come off worse as now it makes it look like that the writers of this film were just being lazy ad couldn't be bothered to create interesting characters that we want to see more off and that we want to see make it until the end of the film and yet because of the fact that none of this films characters are interesting characters they all come off as being one dimensional characters with the same thing also being true for Abbie and her dad who despite being the most interesting characters still come of as being one dimensional as while Abbie and her dad have at least some personality none of the others do and none of the others have much in the way of hobbies or interests either with them all just being dull and boring characters that would have fitted in right at home in The Mouse Trap as this films characters are just that dull and boring.

Rant about the characters aside the closest film that I could possibly compare this film to is The Final Girls. As both films blend the slasher genre with comedy however where as with The Final Girls it was done in a tongue in cheek way that actually made fun of the slasher genre as a whole here the film does nothing with the comedy except tell the exact kind of jokes that you think that it would tell and because of that alot of the films jokes just don't work and while the film got alot of hate for it's slapstick tone it's the films slapstick that oddly works for the film as well as at least then you can tell that there was an attempt at being funny but where as when the film actually tells a joke it just falls flat on it's face with the great Jeffrey Dean Morgan telling it the joke still falls flat with this being an example f the fact that this films writer , producer and director Matthew John Lawrence really doesn't know how to tell a good joke as this is film that could have been used to comment on the slasher genre as a whole whilst still being a fun filled slasher film but because of the fact that it plays everything straight lines that could have been funny like the fact that someone gets accused of being the killer despite the fact that they were in the same room as the killer just fall flat were as with The Final Girls they at least had the courage to go all in on the fact that it's slasher comedy and because of that we got a fun filled film that despite having a few rough around the edges jokes was still a pretty funny and a pretty decent film in it's own right.

While this film can be dreadful alot of the time one of the things that it gets right is the relationship between the characters. As pretty much all of the characters relationships are developed enough to the point where you do buy them as friends and in the cases of the two characters lovers as well the issue is tho is that apart from the lovers relationship the film does nothing with these relationships once the kills start happening which makes those relationships feel pointless which does in a way make sense as they were only done so that Abbie could close enough to her victims so that she could kill them all off but even tho if your going to have a new group of characters meet each other for the first time then at the very least show us what happens to there relationships when they all start getting killed off as that would make all of the pointless amount of time that the film spends on there relationships worth it but as things stand since the film does nothing with there relation it instead feels like that there were just to give the killer some victims which would be fine if you were just doing a bogstandard slasher film or even a send up of eighties slasher films but this film promoted itself as being a film that's pretty much meant to be send up of those films and yet it doesn't do any of that and so the film comes across as being a slasher film with bad jokes in it and there for the characters relationships should have played into the film once the kills started happening and not just be forgotten about all together which makes Matthew John Lawrence seem like a really lazy writer.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty three minuets and eighteen seconds. Which is pretty much the exact bogstandard running time for a film like this one to ave and to this films credit it really does have more then enough there to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho this film really doesn't take as full advantage of it's running time as it really could have done as it doesn't develop any of it's characters as Abbie looses her dream of becoming a serial killer out of nowhere and that's a key aspect of the film and was THE main selling point of the film and yet it's treated as an after thought and none of this films characters are given much in the way of character development either with all of this films characters minus Abbie and her dad being nothing but bland characters and all of these things are things that really should have been fixed at the scripting stage as it's basic film making 101 and yet the makers of this film instead chose to ignore doing basic level stuff for no reason which can and does make this film feel like it's very frustrating to watch as there is a good film in there just waiting to get out as all it needed was a push in the right direction and that's it and that's a shame because the films idea is more then enough to carry the film and make the film good but it still needed a good film making team to make it a great film and that's sadly not what we get with this film in it's current state but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a slasher film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. However tho just like the plot of the film this films kills aren't that good not that there bad kills by any stretch of the imagination it's just that there bland a generic kills with this not really being helped that it takes a good long which before any of the main characters start getting killed of with alot of the films running time being spent on two the characters meeting and becoming lovers and that's not what you want to see in a slasher movie and while yes we do get a few good kills at the start of the film it's a good while before we even get another kill in the movie and for a film that's one hour and twenty three minuets long you really can't afford to be leaving pretty much all of your main character kills until the third act of the film as the audience expects the kills to happen all throughout the film and not during the third act and especially not after you've forced us the audience to spend alot of time with characters that we don't even like because the film doesn't give us a reason to like these characters but when the film does have a good kill it can be a pretty decent kill it's just a shame that we have sit through alot of really bad kills just to get to one or two decent kills in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall it's very easy to see why alot of people in the horror community aren't talking about this film as it really is a very frustrating film to watch this is despite it having a few bright spots but even those bright spots aren't enough to save this disaster of  film as it's just that bad in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally go all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor  IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
