A bunch of college
students celebrate Hallows Eve at a
nightclub and then eight of them decide
to put up a funhouse to raise some money.
Then an ancient spell breaks loose when a
book is placed in a box of props for the
funhouse and hell breaks loose there as a
bunch of vampires, witches and zombies
break loose, turning eight of the
students into similar creatures and they
all try to escape this haunted house.
The film was close
to being plotless mainly just about
college kids hanging out at a funhouse
and being terrorised by vampires.
It is extremely slow and you wonder when
it's going to pick up as it barely does
focusing mainly on boring dialogues.
This was probably the most difficult film
to review as I never fully got it and a
forgettable one too. If you see this
you'll get what I mean.
Chris Burdick was terribly lazy
while writing this piece as it seemed
that he had nothing better to do but try
to write something and seemed terribly
inexperienced with it all. This is very
sad folks plus the lighting in it is
terrible too.
The acting is
quite bad but however, Brandy Little showed
the odd good emotion to her part in the
film.
Matt Moore tried to stand out
playing a bad ass drunk but is totally
amateurish.
Camille Chen seemed a little witty
as a horny student in the film so I will
remember her a bit.
None of the other actors did much to
prove their parts worthy which is sad.
Some tit shots
here and there mainly performed by Camille
Chen with a wide shot on her lying
naked in a coffin.
We have some biting and
blood too.
The directing by John
Keeyes is incredibly slow and
slacking. He tried to make a scene
disturbing directing supporting actor Matt
Moore by playing drunk and violent
but it's not at all believeable.
There are good shots around the funhouse
with red lighting and mist everywhere.
There's an okay dialogue between Brandy
Little acting emotional towards Amy
Morris when she tries to have a
lesbian type of romance with her and then
pulls off a good attitude towards her.
We have a good shot on Camille Chen
lying in a coffin and jumping up
attacking.
There's good shots on the actors running
away in the mist with the lighting
effects and the vampire's and other
creatures running after along with good
close up shots on each others eyes etc.
There is a fighting sequence performed by
Scott Barrett sword fighting and
other moments which looks a little
sloppy.
But this is about as good as it gets as
we don't get anything special plus the
dialogues were too acted out and planned.
No twists here folks.
David Rosenblad
has such dull synthesizer playing trying
to make it sound good for the creepy
moments but really doesn't try hard
enough.
