Fright Fest

Wished the movies were better
These are loooooooow budget cheesy horror flicks released between the late 90s through the mid 2000s. Sadly, these are mostly not "so bad it's good" entertaining horror. These are generally "so bad, they put me to sleep" horror flicks. They have some notable 80s-2000s b-movie actors like Gary Busey, Rose McGowan, and Anthony Michael Hall. But, unfortunately, these stars couldn't end up saving these boring movies.

The characters in all these movie are cardboard and mostly unlikable. In most movies, the horror, killing, and suspense don't start til halfway through. Too much time is spent on these pointless subplots. The acting was really terrible. So many people seemed as if they were reading from a cue card or as if they had just read the script the day before filming began. I could have liked these movies but most of them had an irritatingly slow pace. Thank God, I watched these movies on DVD so I could fast forward through some of the nonsense. I wouldn't have the patience...

My review:Pretty good film. Kinda reminds me of the Poison Ivy films, honestly. Having been a fan of Rose McGowan from her Charmed days, this one was a real treat for me. Loved it!

Perfectly Fine Collection of Chillers
A mixed bag, as all these collections are. But I found the creature feature Night Feeders quite entertaining with a good ending. Within the Rock is a predictable astronauts-release-killer-monster story. Some I have no plans to watch, but others I will and so far, they've been fine...a cut above the ScyFy-funded cheapies. Worth getting.
