Movie Reviews of Thriller - A Cruel Picture
Movie Review: Exploitation sure, but it delivers!
Summary: 3 Stars
I just got done watching my limited release of the film thriller on dvd. Its a rather polished dvd and has some nice stuff on it.
On to the movie. Its on par with "I spit on your grave". It doesnt make sense at times and is corny but it has some nice gore and even though i was prepared for the "hardcore action" it still shocked me when i saw it so for that i applaud it. This movie isnt comperable to anything recent but you can see that this movie started allot of movie making trends and for that it needs to be respected. Its possibly the best exploitation movie i have ever seen but in the end it is just that so i can only give it three stars. Had they tied up some of the loose ends it could have been a great flick but as it stands you need to take it for what it is.
Movie Review: THEE INFAMOUS "THEY CALL HER ONE EYE"
Summary: 3 Stars
i wont bore you with details of the excellent dvd content,for those wont matter much if you are not a fan of the film.
this "golden oldie" exploitation movie should be filed under the RAPE/REVENGE genre,so know what you are getting into before delving into this nasty,nasty film.
one should be warned that their are hardcore sex scenes (including anal!)interspersed with the other violent imagery.
if you are a fan of the genre,add another star - for the uninitiated,be in for a slowly paced,quite tastless movie experience.
Movie Review: Depressing, Sick Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
What can I really say about this movie? Some svenghali-like kook abducts a young pretty girl, cuts her eye out, shoots her up with smack and turns her into a hooker. On the low-down, she learns karate and how to shoot rifles. I wouldn't want to be a spoiler, so let's just say she enacts a brutal revenge for her less than humane treatment.
This is a very slow-pace, disheartening and vile movie. For the most part I liked it. It just dragged at certain times and the XXX footage was clearly spliced in.
Movie Review: weird
Summary: 3 Stars
A crazy swedish lass lent me this film and i had a powercut 2 minutes into it. I did get round to watching it the next night and it was simply weird weird weird. I was not expecting so much gratuitous sex but hey...it was very similar in vein to I spit on your Grave. I have nothing further to say.Movie Review: Old school bad.
Summary: 2 Stars
I was completely enveloped in the stuff I read about this movie. The main selling point was somewhere it says "the film Tarantino calls 'the roughest revenge movie ever'." Now, I love Tarantino, but he must have been completely wasted, and/or thinking of a completely different movie when he said that. That, or it was 1976.
This movie is absurd. I'm sure back in 1974, it was cutting edge and over-the-top and totally controversy-worthy. Well it's 2006 now. Blame it on desensitization, but I'm no more desensitized than anyone else that would be wanting to watch this movie. The hardcore pornography is the only thing that might cause a stir these days, but it won't because you'll see worse things popping up while you browse the internet on any given day.
Violent? HA! Anyone buying this hoping for a fun action-gore movie will be let down. Here is a summation of the violence and gore in this movie: Girl gets shotgun. Girl shoots everyone in the gut in ULTRA SLOW MOTION with shotgun. Girl also kung-fu's a few dudes in ULTRA SLOW MOTION with unimpressive chops and kicks and throws. *spoiler* Girl busts a cap in a dude and proceeds to own him in a pretty cool manner involving a hungry hungry horse and a rope. *End Spoiler*. That's all. The effects of these people getting shottied to death are horrible. It looks like something from a bad student film.
I give this movie 2 stars for one reason; If it were remade today, it might be interesting. They could jazz it up with some not ULTRA SLOW MOTION fights, some modern special effects, and some frigging music. I don't think there was 30 seconds worth of music in the whole movie. No ambience at all.
Plus... an above-average looking girl gets her eye cut out with a scalpel and proceeds to wear an eye patch, which everyone knows is awesome.
