Movie Reviews of Cradle of Fear
Movie Review: This movie is definantly insane...
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all i'm going to say...this movie flat out rules! If you like Cradle of Filth, you must own this, along with all of their 3 official DVD workings.(Those being Heavy Left Handed and Candid, Pandaemonaeon, and Cradle of Fear.)Cradle of Fear, the simply put title for this bloodbath of macabre horror, is a B-movie constructed by director Alex Chandon (whom also directed From the Cradle to Enslave, [Cradle of Filth's first promotional music video.] Pervirella, Bad Karma..etc.) and a well constructed B-movie it is.
As the DVD package indicates, this movie has "enough blood and guts to satisfy even the most terminal gorehounds." If you're squeemish, don't like the sight of violence and blood and gore, or can't stand Cradle of Filth...forget this movie, its brilliance isn't for you.
But for those of you whom are hungry to see Dani Filth go at it with his Sadistic mind and his ever so sharp and sweet looking Finger Armor...get this DVD, it's great!
The movie consists of 4 stories, revolving around the ex-child rapist/cannibal/hypnotist, Kemper. The movie is basically about him getting revenge upon those whom had him thrown in the Insane Asylum. He does this through "The Man" played by none other than Dani Filth. So as indicated, Dani (The Man) literally has all these people destroyed..in seriously violent ways.
I'm not going to give anything away as to how or why, anymore..but just know, this movie is seriously violent when it comes to Dani Filth killing people.
The movie lacks in graphics and acting...those are its only flaws. While yes theres ALOT OF F**KING GORE in the movie, there lacks alot of realism. You can tell alot of it is fake, but remember, this IS a B-movie (movie with a low budget, for those whom didn't know what a B-movie was.) and the fact it has a low budget shows.
The movies sound effects are also really cheesy, it sounds like they took kick and punch and blah blah...right out of the Power Rangers TV show and used them on this movie. I'm not one to complain when it comes to Cradle of Filth or the genius work of Alex Chandon unless necessary but those sound effects were childish and definantly weren't necessary.
The acting is remotely crap...Dani Filth doesn't even seem like he's even acting throughout this movie. He seems to be more like the "look around, and gawk, and stare, and stalk people" kind of person in this movie, if you ask me. But i'll tell you, he can do a badass job at acting like he's killing someone! The acting of other characters at times can also be cheesy, and the sound effects sure don't help them along. (i.e. girl puking in toilet..bleh stupid.)
Other than these things, if you can get past them, the movie is a top notch macabre, campy horror film that all fans of B-movies, and maybe fans of british director Alex Chandon will definantly enjoy. I'd give this movie 10 stars if I could...
Heh, can't wait for the sequel, Cradle of Fear 2..hopefully it'll be better than this is.
Movie Review: Great GREAT Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is everything I thought that it would not be. And the first thing I thought it would not be, is good. I thought "Musician+Movie=Bad thing" once I saw "8 Mile"(which sucked BTW!) But Cradle of Fear, Hell I'll tell ya, It's actually quite a good movie for a low budget one, with an awesome plot. The story is about a commited child killer and cannibal who used to work as a hypnotist. But this killer secretly was killing children at his shows by subliminally giving them commands to do his bidding, then he killed them. He was caught, and eventually imprisoned and thrown into an asylum. Here he dwells in an asylum, going mad. He calls upon "The Man" (played by none other than Dani Filth) to kill those who have wronged him by having him imprisoned. This is where the FUN begins in the movie. The Man ends up killing the series of people in many frenzied gory ways, only to die by having his head blown in half in the end. We then discover that The Man is actually the son of the child killer cannibal, whom also "dies". Then the actual ENDING...MAN I'LL TELL YOU IT RULED! Never would have expected THAT to happen. I wont give it away, but the end was simply amazing and a huge huge shocking suprize.The only thing this movie really lacks, is better graphics in the gore. I mean, you can tell when Dani Filth is ripping a guys head apart in the begining, that It's totally fake. A better more realistic gore scene is when the "baby" bursts out of the woman. And then, the final gore in the movie where Dani stabs and slices and slits a few people to shreds.
All in all, this movie deserved way more than just 5 stars, it deserves 100!
GREAT JOB CRADLE OF FILTH, AND GREAT JOB DANI FILTH MOST OF ALL, YOURE A GOD OF HORROR AND BLACK METAL!
Movie Review: "DANI RULES!!! A Really good story!! Good Film!!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading some of the reviews on this film, I must admit I was a little unsure about purchasing it. Boy am I glad I did!! This Film has an excellent story-line combining several stories into 1 on-going event. In my opinion the acting is NOT bad at all, and the soundtrack is FANTASTIC!! I love Cradle Of Filth to begin with, so having Dani Filth playing a lead part was a great bonus!!(He really does a good job!!) There is PLENTY of BLOOD and GORE for you Gorehounds out there!!! The really only dissapointing thing about this film is the Production. If this film had a Bigger budget it really would be a spectacular Horror film!! I have actually heard rumors of the film being re-done with a bigger budget, but unfortunately I cannot confirm if this is true.(We will have to wait and see!!) I have shown this film to several of my friends and after watching once or twice (to get use to the camcorder style filming effect- due to low movie budget) they ALL have agreed they really LIKE it!!Cradle Fans will LOVE this movie and I think it is definately worth checking into for just the simple fact that it IS a GOOD Horror film in general.The film is directed by the same fellow who directed Cradle Of Filth's "From The Cradle To Enslave" video:Alex Chandon. I recommend giving this Film a try and form your own opinion before passing this Horror Gem up!!I REALLY hope they do go back and Re-make this film!!(with a bigger budget) Then it would be Perfect! This Is a really good film to watch ALONE IN THE DARK!! I hope my review was helpful to you!! LONG LIVE METAL!!! (PS:) GREAT JOB DANI!!!!Movie Review: Campy Horror At It's Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Now the main reason many of you would hear about this movie would most likely be because Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth has a prominent role in the film (it's ok that is how i heard about it too). Furthermore, the rest of the band has cameos throughout the movie too, but that is beside the point. Let it be said that this film has a lot of blood and guts, which is just grand! However, some of the dialogue and acting seems quite cheesy, which could be the desired effect. Either way, if you enjoy campy and gore-filled horror flicks, then this movie is right up your alley. It is certainly worth the money, as the comes in just a few seconds under 2 hours in length. The story is decent one to follow, and this movie is good if you want to have a fun romp through murder and mayhem without having to do too much thinking. I will say this though, and this is purely my opinion only: this movie is not all that scary (maybe its because im desensitized beyond redemption). If you're looking for a horror movie that will actually scare the life out of you, i urge you to look elsewhere. However, as i said before, if you want a good time filled with lots of blood, and at times, some really funny and corny dialogue, then this movie is for you! Either way, i found it to be pretty enjoyable, and deserving of 5 stars for being such an underground effort with a limited budget.Movie Review: For now it's good, but can't wait for the next...
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to watch this movie three time to fully appreciate it. I had to get past the fact that the camera work looked like you were watching a soap opera the whole time, the low budget is obvious. I had reasearched and eventually bought this movie because I am a huge fan of Cradle Of Filth and thought it would be awesome to see Dani as the main role in a horror movie, and indeed it was, though it didn't show him enough. The movie was overall well casted and acted out, though sometimes a line or two will be really cheesy, I guess that's what I was expecting anyways though, it adds some fun. You definitely get all the blood, guts and gore you want in this film and it is a purchase well made. Dani and the boys have uncovered plans to make another film, hopefully the budget is bigger for that, I would like to see him casted in something along the lines of Lord of The Rings mixed with the non stop death element of Cradle of Fear,now that would be metal. Keep the gore coming.
