When a Cliché calls
16 April 2007
This movie is the standard cliché horror movie, as usual I had a good laugh at how stupid the characters were. I am actually starting to kinda like these cliché movies in a weird way. The stupidity of the characters leaves you thinking they deserve much worse.

If you are after scary, this isn't it - it's more a suspense/cliché movie really. If you are bored or just like this kind of thing, check it out. I wouldn't pay money for it though.

This has the potential to be a reasonable movie but the fact that the characters repeatedly mad obvious, typical horror movie stupid choices does spoil it really.

Not scary, 6 out of 10
1 April 2007
This movie wasn't really scary at all, so if you like scary movies give this one a miss.

Fairly early in the movie I started wondering about what might be happening and it was confirmed at the end. This movie provides one theory about the Bell legend, some people would object to the conclusions made but as a movie it was entertaining.

I found this to be an interesting movie and I would recommend it to avid movie watches but I wouldn't put it in my top 20 or anything.

I liked it but I can see how others might not since it is really a non-scary horror movie.

Hidden (I) (2005)

*yawn*

This movie is kinda vaguely like the Blair witch project but much much more boring and not even vaguely scary.

I kept watching because some comments said it gets better as it goes on. They lied. Well I guess it did get better, after all it couldn't get much worse, but even better was pitiful.

It's the kind of movie that I might watch if it was on TV and there was nothing else on and I was too tired to get up and find the remote, but I would not suggest that anyone should rent this movie.

The only plus point I can see is it would have been very low budget. The scenes were probably real NZ bush and old buildings, there were no special effects, no big actors. Some of the camera work was fairly good otherwise I would have said it was made by a third form (13 year olds) drama class.

As others have said you do get to know the individuals a bit and the twist at the end was unexpected but all in all not really worth watching.

Horror, porn, comedy - something for everyone

Warning: Spoilers
I don't normally like horror movies that much but this one was good.

It was quite grisly in parts and not for the faint of heart. It had vivid imagery of blood and guts and people being seriously and mortally harmed. The movie shows a blatant disregard for human life and human remains.

The beginning of the movie had some soft core sex scenes that may appeal to some.

*This bit is a spoiler* Days after watching it I still laugh about the scene where one of the 'customers' cuts off Josh's fingers with the chainsaw then slips in the blood cutting off his own leg. It sounds sick and disturbing but just the way it happened was hilarious to me. *Spoiler ends*

All in all a very good movie, but not for the faint hearted.

Great horror comedy
13 October 2006
This movie is so funny :) It is a classic horror movie, the effects are so fake it's funny.

Every step is so predictable. The 80's fashion and the effeminate nature of all the guys is funny beyond belief. The characters make all the classic horror movie mistakes.

The sexual content is PG13 and ends in hilarity. The effects are cheesy and unrealistic.

All that's missing is Jason doing dolphin jumps in the serene lake at the end.

This truly is a must see horror movie that will have the easily scared horrified and the horror veteran in hysterics.

If you are looking for a truly scary movie, this isn't it. If you are looking for a 'horror' movie full of stuff to laugh at I thoroughly recommend this.
