waltblackwell OLD 37 was recommended to me by a friend. We have a long standing relationship of reviewing films as horror fans, but have always tried to elevate the genre. We don't think we are better than anyone else, but we always appreciate a solid concept, good writing, practical kills and a bit more than your average slasher. I think OLD 37 delivers on all of these levels. The movie spends a good amount of time developing the characters and gives you enough time to understand the teenage drama. These characters and their flaws are very much on point with today's high school crowd. It spends an good amount of time focusing about a breast implant surgery for our heroine, then the day finally comes and she's totally excited about it. Naturally, after getting her hair done and new breasts, she transforms into the cookie cutter version of our mean girl. Perhaps a case of mistaken identity we have up ahead? This was good writing. If the nerd girl would have just stayed true to herself, she would not be caught up in this dilemma. But instead, she wanted to be just like the cool girl. A case of the "grass isn't always greener". We see some nice gore and good writing with in the killings and torture, which will satisfy any cliché horror lover. We always are thankful when the film makes use of practical effects and real blood, rather than CGI. There are a few scenes that really grabbed my attention with the red stuff splattering around. These scenes partnered with the elevated story line make this film truly enjoyable.

donnaculver I enjoyed this film. Scary, looked good, love the ambulance parts. Kane and Bill never disappoint. The actor who plays their father was terrifying. Glad I am not related to him or am his wife. I think my favorite part was when you find out that they kept the mom the entire time. She was crazy but the only one in the whole family who was maybe normal. So sick and creepy, but the body looked so real. good special effects. Oh-- and I really enjoyed the bonus DVD extras. nice to see some of the personality of the cast. Looked like they had a great time shooting this film. The teenagers were pretty realistic. The mean girl may have been a bit too over dramatic or over acting, but a lot of the situations they got themselves into could actually happen today. I have 2 daughters, both teenagers a few years apart and they have friends all the time get into these situations.

theobeckett I stumbled on this film on Chiller TV and I remembered that I had seen a trailer at a horror convention last year. I actually got to meet 3 of the producers and the writer and they were cool. They explained the process of making this film, how long it took, what it was like on set and the falling out they had with the director. It seems that a lot of people below are assuming they know the situation because the director took an Alan Smithy credit that the film sucked, but that really isn't the case here. This film delivers on so many levels. The concept is brilliant, and frankly i felt like it was an elevated horror. Out of all the films coming out now that are remakes or about a giant spider, this had a mix between good teen drama and suspense. If you are looking for a straight slasher, this isn't the film for you, but open your mind to something bigger than just that. I also loved the music too...thought it was really fitting and creepy where it needed to be. just my two cents.

mandyb-96392 The perfect mix of horror, humor, and gore. There are many moments of just plain horror and fear. There are also quite a few times where there is humor involved (keep an eye on the 2 brothers played by Bill Mosely and Kane Hodder). There is so much blood and gore. There are a few unique killing devices in the movie. Mosely and Kane Hodder strike fear in viewers yet again. The teenager story lines get old after a while, but their stupid decisions are what always moves a horror movie forward. This is a great movie. I recommend this movie to everyone with a strong stomach, ages 13+ (gore, cursing, etc.). And, "Don't worry. I'm a paramedic."
