Cradle of Fear (Alex Chandon, 2001)
I go through phases, usually during the winter, where I watch an insane number of movies in a relatively short time period. Usually, when I call something the best or worst film I've seen that particular week, it's from a choice of five or six movies. This week, I've watched seventeen. Cradle of Fear is the worst of them by a country mile, and I've seen some real dogs in the last seven days.
To attempt to describe the plot of this monstrosity, which is a loosely-linked anthology film, would not only waste far more time than I already have wasted on this movie, but would be doomed to failure in any case. The film does have something resembling a plot, but it exists solely to justify endless scenes of gore. Which is not something I usually mind in a movie, but in this case, it's so obvious that it's almost daring the viewer to hate it. And once again, that's not something I'd normally complain about--I've been singing Andrei Iskanov's praises for years now--but it's not even good gore. The special effects are one step above the kind of thing you see in no-budget amateur flicks shot by drunk guys in their backyards.
I have a strong suspicion that the only reason this film got made is because Cradle of Filth vocalist Dani Filth wanted to break into the acting business. That Mr. Filth has not gotten a single live-action big-screen job since should tell you all you need to know. This isn't only the worst of the films I've seen this week, it's arguably the worst I've seen all year. A complete and utter waste of time. Half a star because, for some stupid reason, I actually finished watching it.
Movie Review: Dire
Summary: 1 Stars
I used to work at Blockbuster video and rented this based purely upon the fact it was a horror film and it had a pretty funky cover. The movie is the least scary horror film I've ever seen, the filming is utterly apalling, the acting dire and the effects more pitiful than a student film. What about the plot? What bloody plot? It's a series of random stories that they tried to splatter with as much gore as possible. And not even convincing gore. The two computer generated effects used in the film look ... there's absolutely no suspense. I even had to fast forward through a fair wack of it. I've noticed people on here saying the effects were excellent... what film were you watching? Take that scene where the car shoots across the road, it looks like the introduction to Eurotrash. And there's a really awful looking puppet in there.
This is seriously, the ONLY film I have ever recommended someone not to rent throughout my time working as a video store clerk.
Avoid.
Movie Review: Just Plain Lousy, All FX
Summary: 1 Stars
Cradle of Fear. I'll have to say this movie was VERY BAD. I thought I'd give this dvd a rental. I was curious and am a big horror movie buff, from The Hill's Have Eyes to Evil Dead series. I went in not expecting much, and hoo-boy this movie just stunk! HOWEVER the FX was top notch. After watching an hour I got to thinking thats all the movie was about, SPECIAL EFFECTS. Some disturbing, but after awhile you ask where's the storyline? I don't know much about the musican, but he was way too GOTH and not very scary. After the Man killed a cat, I thought , Wow what a waste, Trying to shock, but just plain lousy. Want to watch a great british horror movie see DOG SOLDIERS.Movie Review: Cradle of Junk!

I'm a big fan of horror movies and there isn't much I haven't seen. But folks this movie is absolutely horrible. This movie has no point,no plot and just plain bad acting from start to finish. It is about 2 hours long I turned this garbage off in less than an hour. The cheap attempt at a gore fest is just awful to the point of not even being funny anymore. This movie is not scary,the gore is ridiculously stupid and these wannabe actors will make you sick with the terrible attempt at acting they do in this. I like COF and Dani Filth but he should stick to his day job. I have seen really bad B movies called horror but this out does them all. Don't waste money on this!Movie Review: this movie is utter rubbish

this movie is the worst film of this genre i have ever seen, bbc horrors are cool, but this is a peice of white trailer park trash gore horror flick. the storyline is stupid, and the movie turns to worthless gore for cheap thrills. actually after watching this film i contemplated never watching another new horror movie in my life again.. what a complete WASTE OF TIME. dont bother.. instead go and seek out classic italian and american horror from the 60s and 70s..
