Movie Reviews of Cradle of Fear
Movie Review: 2 stars only for the blood and attempt at being gross
Summary: 2 Stars
I was being very generous when giving this 2 stars. The only reason I did is because somewhere, somehow, this movie will manage to offend some! that's a good thing! Loved the cat scene! This is far as my positives go though. This movie cost way too much for what it was: a beyond B horror movieThis wasn't just Elvira cheesy, this was border line home video cheesy. (if anyone out there thought Blair Witch's production was bad, which I liked, this is far worse). If you want to know what you will be seeing, imagine those late night TV shows on the BBC. I kept waiting for Benny hill or Monty python to pop out of the blood wake some place!!
The sound was terrible, you have to turn it way up to hear what they are saying (maybe its a combination of bad sound and heavy accents) but by the time you turn it up to hear it, a loud noise or background music will near blast your ears out (a lot of movies are guilty of this lately, however this one seems a little worse than normal.)
One other thing: this moving claims to be the goriest movie ever. Could it be that I have become so desensitized to movies I would go as far as to say this needed more gore? The gore was far apart, and there was a lot of slow spots. Be prepared to sleep on a couple of these stories, especially the last one! Plus when you finally do get treated to a gore scene, (with the exception of the first few kills in the beginning sequence) most of these are very unoriginal, and have all been done before. The latex FX are pretty sad too....
Movie Review: No where near worth the price. Should be, like, $5 on DVD!
Summary: 2 Stars
OK, I don't hate Cradle of Filth, so I thought it would be cool to see Dani Filth in a horror movie. I knew it would be cheesy! That was no surprise. The story line had some potential, but the movie was executed so incredibly poor that the movie is just rubbish. Sorry lads, better luck next time. Dani wasn't even that bad, the movie was just terrible. Some of the actors were laughable in their performance! However, the girls are all really hot and have nice....FEATURES, I'll say! ^_^ Also, the DVD might actually be (somewhat) worth buying if it was priced at, say, $5?! Anyway, hopefully Dani will choose a better movie to be in, if he ever does one again. Apologies to all those who want this movie to be good (I know I did), but "sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well....it eats you!"Movie Review: Great Picture, NO Volume
Summary: 2 Stars
Couldn't get the volume up high enough to hear more than 1 out of 5 words. I even used a hunter's listening device trying to get some use from this DVD. Looked very interesting in the inimitable Filth way.Movie Review: Plot was good but some of the acting and all sound effects were disatifying.
Summary: 2 Stars
Dani had a cool idea and made an interesting plot. But the low budget and ridiculously horrible sound effects ruined it for me.Movie Review: Dissapointing
Summary: 1 Stars
CRADLE OF FEAR had nothing to offer for me at all. I bought it because I am a huge fan of the horror/gore genre and I am also a fan of the British metal band "Cradle Of Filth," which relates to the movie because the bands frontman Dani Filth is the slasher in this film. There was alot of positive reviews on the movie that made it look very positive.The film consists of four gore filled short stories linked poorly by Dani Filth "The Man" coming in to claim his victems in a gory and fake fashion. The f/x in this film are not very convincing.
The filming is done in a way that the screen picture through out the film looks not like most motion pictures, but like a very unprofessional, cheaply done movie made with a home recorder. All the props look fake and look like little effort was put into them. For example, the scenes shot it the asylem...the interior of the serial killers room looks like a room with regular pillows stapled to the walls. Another fake scene is where there is a car racing at dangerous speeds through the city and gets hit by a semi. The cars in this scene look like toy cars and is actually humourous to watch and cannot be taken seriously.
Then the sound quality factor...is terrible. Every action in the movie is accompanied by the dubbing of a fake sound effect. Such as punching, kicking, slashing etc. They sound like video game sounds.
I give the film a single star (out of five) and do not recommend it to anyone unless you are in for a good laugh. The plot sounds good reading it on the back of the dvd, but causes alot of dissapointmet when watched. I would honestly say it is the worst horror movie I have ever watched.
