staciarose20 Sure, it's not the best acting or the highest budget, but this was creepy. My husband asked me if I saw the figure when the closet door opened, and I had to rewind it--still didn't see it. Just the door opening on it's own made me regress to being six years old and terrified of my closet. lol It's definitely a good watch for fall or around Halloween. Watch it in the dark.
Flow Felt kinda fresh in all honesty, I'm just sadden by the fact that it didn't lay some kind of rules down. What is it? Can it be killed? Stopped? Slowed down? Sure, overall we have some data about it, and it does respect all said but I think it could have provided a lot more tension if we had more to work with.Anyway, without further ado, Child Eater made the best of its budget, plot, actors, had a very good execution for such a production and managed to delivered on some levels. It starts rather fast I might say and goes on to create a good little world for itself.If only more horrors would try this approach, and not rely so much on gore, blood and ripoff all other movies and genres, like zombies and torture porn in the woods.Cheers!
Michael Ledo The film opens with a man with macular degeneration removing the eyes of children and consuming them under the belief it will cure his illness. We then jump 25 years later. Helen (Cait Bliss) is babysitting for the new family as dad (Weston Wilson) has to be out all night. Lucas (Colin Critchley) likes horror movies and claims there is a man in his closet, the same one he saw outside, who can get in through the hole in the basement. He gives us too many plot clues in one moment.Lucas goes missing. We are told by Ginger (Melinda Chilton) that Lucas who just moved in, "knows the woods like the back of his hand" watch for bear traps along the paths...seriously? Now the kicker is after 25 years of macular degeneration, for which there is no cure, our man can still see and in the dark no less...and still fights after a shot to the head.The film initially has effective jump scares, but there are only so many times you can go to that well. Unfortunately Cait Bliss looks like the babysitter we get in real life. To be an 80's throwback film you need a "10" who makes out with her boyfriend on the sofa.The film doesn't develop any characters except for Helen, and she was done rather poorly. I don't like people who put their cigarette out in their unfinished food. It just looks trashy, like a tribal tattoo.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Winner best film/actress/cinematography Fantastically Horrifying Cinema Festival 2016 On a side note: The first words spoken were "He Hurt Me" which gave me XFL flashbacks to "He Hate Me." (I wonder what happened to that guy.) Anyway I just watched the XFL to see if I recognized any of the cheerleaders from strip joints. I had to stop watching when the game started as the overhead cam gave me vertigo
redrobin62-321-207311 I gave this movie a 4 but I'm actually being generous. The poor points were the amateurish, non-believable, clichéd acting. Another poor point was the uninteresting, amateurish clichéd kills. And another poor point is the uninteresting, ill-conceived, amateurish, clichéd direction of the plot. There were so many bad decisions by the director that the movie just collapsed on itself nearly 3 minutes in. Who would bring a knife to a gunfight? Why, the babysitter, of course. Who would heal so quickly, after suffering a deep knife would to the abdomen and having one's left eye gouged out, in one night that they can continue searching for the bogeyman?Why is the one-eyed woman, a former victim of the bogeyman (or whatever he calls himself) attacking the police who are there to help her and stop the madman from doing his killings? This point was never explained because she died. I'm guessing it was just in the movie because they needed more kills and the town was as empty as a cookie jar in a kindergarten class.Where did those wings on the bogey come from in the end of the flick? He can fly? How come we never saw that? What child walks around calmly in the woods carrying their bloody right eye in their hand?Why is the boy's father living so far away from civilization that his phone has no signal? (Oh, yeah. Duh. It IS a horror movie). One. Cliché. After. The. Next. Worth your time? Absolutely not.
