That was an excellent one.

Strong and Moving!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A group of sexy 20-somethings gather to pay their respects to a departed friend, only to become the pawns in a macabre charade of villainous deceit. A badly written, produced and directed horror film that is packed with lot's of bad acting but an even worse set of lighting that i haven't seen that bad since alot of time i gotta say. The overall plot was stupid and what you'd expect it to be plus the perfomances were also ridiculous bad to the point where it was embarassing to say the least. See it only if you can take the heat and the punches in the end.

NIGHT OF THE WIDOW is another interminable '1313' film from David DeCoteau, so expect virtually no plot and lots of padded-in sequences of shirtless young guys wandering around showing off their abs and flexing their muscles. One of the cast is Lou Ferrigno's son, believe it or not. This one actually manages to have a substantial female role (gasp!) and more plotting than the usual erotica that DeCoteau comes out with, so you get actual story development alongside the gamut of bad acting and showering.

There actually is some dialog, mainly for exposition as the characters explain what happened in the past. One young guy in briefs scene that is repeated later in the movie. One shower scene with no nudity. Actually safe for almost anyone who is not offended by shirtless, friendly guys. The same big mansion used in other DeCoteau movies. Nice place with beautiful furnishings.These movies have OK plot lines but they do move very slowly. You might figure out the ending before it gets there. The images are OK but the sound is not good at times. This is the best of David's films that I have seen thus far.

But it was close. If you're interested in watching a widow in a veil walk around with a knife while a 'suspenseful' heartbeat sound thumps in the background, this movie is for you. That's probably a third of the movie. There's a 4 minute scene (I was so amazed, that I went back and timed it) that alternates between the widow walking around and a guy in the shower repeatedly washing his armpits, which apparently were very dirty. 4 minutes. Nothing else happens the whole time. Just the heartbeat thumping, widow walking, and dirty armpit guy. So yeah, that's what you're in for.
