Rob Neil Ruddiger and I have been watching horrible horror movies for almost two years now, and this one is definitely on the bottom of the barrel. For one, the title of the film is idiotic, and the website of the film company is pasted directly on the DVD. Very classy. We popped this sucker in and from the very first moment we saw that ugly CGI horse run across the screen, we both just let out a sigh of disgust. This is going to be a great one. The characters in this film were not thought out well at all. The main man, Ray, is just a loser that can't stay off the sauce long enough to realize he's having sex with his crazy neighbor, Tara, who ends up just killing everyone. I get it, "she's crushed", but God I feel like Ray could've done something to fix the situation. He called the cops but nothing ever came of it.. It's ludicrous. Anyway, Rick's bald friend and co-worker, the "troublemaker", as Ray's girl puts him, was the most offensive movie character I have ever seen. Every line seemed like he was taking an improv class, and he managed to insult about ten different social groups, until he finally gets killed. I was relieved. Bottom line, this film had nothing good in it. Bad acting, bad plot, bad filming.. Just a horrid affair the whole way through. I would buy this movie just so I could burn it.
billcr12 She's Crushed is a sort of light weight Fatal Attraction with Natalie Dickinson as a teen girl who flirts with her next door neighbor, Ray, until he finally breaks down and has sex with hot Tara. He sees it as a one night stand. She believes that it is true love. On a return, Ray tries to explain the situation, including the fact that he has a girlfriend. Big mistake, as his nubile lover sees him as her night in shining armor.Ray's life becomes an unending nightmare as Tara stalks him and becomes a serial killer simultaneously. She tortures her victims with glee, and for no apparent reason. The movie's poster, with Ms. Dickinson in a Catholic school girl outfit holding a knife in her hand, is much more interesting then the film itself. Bad acting; bad script; waste of time.
christopher-underwood I'm not quite sure why some love to jump on a film like this. Maybe, the clever use of internet promotion backfires, maybe people are upset by the movie and get their own back, maybe because there are no big name stars, maybe just because they can. Anyway, I reckon, this little film that surely achieves everything it sets out to do, has been very unfairly dismissed. It is stylishly shot, with imaginative soundtrack and a furious pace that never lets up. The violence is believable and horrendous and once the thing starts to roll, (that is right at the beginning!) there is nothing to stop it. Well, and here's my only gripe, the lead guy should have tried a little harder to nip this in the bud. There were a couple of opportunities when as a viewer you feel like screaming at him for being so 'understanding', when, of course, he seems not to understand at all. In fairness to the film he is set up to be this type of guy, taking it from his girlfriend and boss but it would have been absolutely perfect if he'd shown a bit more muscle. This is not, however, to take away from this very powerful and effective thriller.
Hunter Harrell (CoPSwords) Not all Low-Budget movies are Low-Quality however, it is the case with She's Crushed(2009). I don't want it to be bad, but it is. It had a great concept that is not often portrayed in American films, but the lack of good equipment, and lack of talent destroyed the movie.The biggest flaw I saw, or heard rather, was the sound quality. It was ridiculously loud, and grainy for every single scene. The grain of the audio almost overpowered the speaking parts entirely. I have seen much older movies with better sound equipment. As for the video quality, it was OK. Just a little out of focus at times, and it did look a bit grainy, but I've seen worse.Almost every single character was cliché and poorly written. The acting didn't save it much, although Natalie Dickinson was fantastic in this movie. She really captured Tara's instability. It's just that the writing was absolutely terrible, and it felt that even she was aware that the lines were garbage.I really, really wanted this movie to be good. Had they got their hands on some good equipment, and replaced half the cast, this movie would have been awesome and unique. But, they did not, and now it suffers the fate of fading away in the dark depths of low-quality horror.
