Arian Arifi So i had the "Honor" of seeing this movie yesterday. And I'm so glad that i didn't waste my hard earned money on it, and saw it on Netflix.Plot and Writing: The plot is horrible, there is no originality to it. The writing is the worst part of it. All the characters makes bad decisions. The girl we are supposed to care about, is an idiot and i hated her every time she was on screen. They don't ask any questions, they just lives with it. The characters can teleport when they are needed in a scene. There is fake scares all over this movie. There is no character development, we don't learn anything about anyone. And i saw the ending coming after 30 minutes, of seeing this movie. The dialog was decent but it couldn't save the rest of the movie. All in all 4/10 stars.Direction and Editing: The movie is directed decent. You can see what is going on, it cuts when it needs to. It runs really smooth in that regards. All in all 6/10 stars.Acting: None of them is good. The girl is the worst part of it. Her acting is bad. The mother was decent. She showed some emotion, in some scenes. And i could see that she tried. But all the others were just bad, it didn't look like they tried. All in all 6/10 stars.Music: The music was by far the best part of the movie, but they played the same soundtrack over and over again, and it just got annoying after a while. All in all 6/10 stars. The overall score of the movie is 5/10 stars. Not a good movie. Its called Pinocchios Revenge, what and why is he avenging?
TheBlueHairedLawyer This horror film plays at many of the cliché horror themes; evil puppets and the stigma of the mentally ill. Here we have a child killer who builds puppets as a hobby. He is not a murderer and is covering for his son, but won't admit that and goes on death row, being killed in an electric chair (outdated). His lawyer has a daughter, Zoe, who is bullied by the snobby girls in her school and attacks them, and she always gets in trouble for it. When she accidentally gets hold of the puppet the killer made before he died, she begins to act psychotic... but is it her, or the puppet? There are several flaws in the film, much of it being the unrealistic dialogue. The child psychiatrist Zoe is forced to visit tells the mother flat-out that Zoe is a, and I quote, "a very disturbed little girl". Doctors are not allowed to say that, it is discouraging to both the parent and child. They jump directly to the conclusion that Zoe is insane just because she's a little girl having a pretend fight with her puppet. Children do this sort of thing all the time! The execution of the supposed child killer would not have happened so quickly, nor would they have used an electric chair, not in this day and age. Maybe I'm taking the film to seriously but if they want a film to be scary they should make it realistic.Aside from that, the acting is bad, as was the soundtrack. The scenery is largely forgettable. It had a few good moments throughout the film like the cool scene where Zoe avoids the motorcycles in the streets, but not many. The ending is awful, Zoe gets locked up in an asylum and the mom is told by the doctor to forget her daughter and move on. This wasn't a very good film, and I don't recommend viewing it at all.
stormruston Pinocchio's revenge is not a good movie. Nor is it terrible.The acting was wooden at least on Pinocchio's part.The puppet had all of 2 expressions.As did most of the actors,except strangely enough...the secondary characters...most of them were enjoyable over the top.The special effects in this are pretty "B" and as I said earlier the puppet really blew.The 2 best scenes in the movie are the knife through the hand...looked pretty good,i think they spent about a 1/3 of the budget on that...and the shower scene...WOW...I think they must have spent the other 2/3rds of the budget on talking the actress who did that scene to do it.Outstanding.Seriously this is a slightly below average "b" horror puppet movie...rent Chucky if you have a urge to see puppets kill.The story had a few interesting idea's, enough to keep me watching it to the end.
uk20de I have never seen a B movie like this one... on the part that the nanny Sofia is being killed... a hand of a woman appears on the tape handling the stick... how bad is that??? LOL, I seriously laughed and wanted to stop seeing the movie, but I kept watching it to see if this movie could get worse...LOL...it is bad for itself... poor Pinocchio.. the only nice bit is the first time you see some special effects of Pinocchio's face moving... apart from that the whole movie is awful... it's not really worth your time if you don't really have much to spare! But if you have nothing to do... go on... treat yourself with some "Z" movie cos B-movie is still too good for this one...LOL
