Purely Joyful Movie!

one of my absolute favorites!

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is a valiant effort that falls flat. The film is about 30 minutes too long as the pacing is horrible and the dialogue goes on FOREVER! The acting is about what you would expect for a Brain Damage film with a less than $10,000 budget. Not Bill Zebub or Todd Sheets film bad, but nothing good either. The sound, oh my goodness, the sound... well I don't have much to say about the sound, since I couldn't actually hear the majority of the movie. The director obviously doesn't know that if you can only afford to pay one person, pay the sound person! The lighting leaves a lot to be desired, mostly it's just red light. The gore is actually quite good for the budget, that's why I'm giving the movie 3 stars.The movie is really just a 100+ minute commercial for the Frightworld Screampark with splashes of gore, sex scenes, and girls wearing nothing but thongs.This is certainly not the worst movie I've ever seen, but far from the best

Very bad. Very, very bad. As a fellow who aspires to make, be in or - at least - sniff the catering table at a movie set, I find it hard to criticize independents who actually got a movie of any sort made. However, this movie ... oh dear.Realizing Frightworld doesn't aspire to anything more than crude exploitation (an honorable thing in itself) and to try to make it conform to more mainstream standards is a mistake. And to be fair, it is more entertaining than - say - Red Zone Cuba ... but not by much. So I won't try to critique, just let me ask throw out some observations.1) If gore is the point of the movie, shouldn't you be able to see it?2) If you have hire three sound men make sure at least one knows how to operate the equipment.3) In a horror movie your lead maniac must be scarier than a smurf doll. Difficult I know but really...4) There is a lot of talented videographers in the Buffalo/Rochester area, most you can hire really cheap. Get one who knows how to frame a scene.5) Just because you have someone who knows how to use After Effects and other cool programs doesn't mean he should do so every two seconds.6) Kudos for getting the girls to take off their tops but next time, get girls who's tops we want to see taken off.7) Editing should help tell the story or set a mood. At the least in this sort of movie editing should sell the gore gags. A chainsaw suddenly appearing in a characters stomach is not scary, it's sloppy.Some good things. Not all the acting was bad. Jack was pretty good and I liked Acid once she started fighting back. There was some neat imagery, unfortunately it was thrown up on the screen without rhyme or reason. "Acid Poptart" is a name that deserves a better movie. I like the moxie of Frightworld too. Next time, now that they have a movie of sorts under their belts, I hope all involve aspire to something better than Colman Francis. Upgrade at least Ed Wood.

With the exception of the sound none of the above are really criticisms for this type of no budget, (truly) independent horror film. Make up effects and gore are very good and the lead actor was effective, the lead actress although attractive needs some coaching as she was particularly poor.The major problem with Frightworld is it's length, at 108 minutes its half an hour too long to be effective as a slasher movie, plot wise only about ten minute of the first fifty are relevant.In places it is visually engaging and sometimes the lack of lighting works in the films favour. However when this is combined with the poor sound as is the case with most of the film large sections are difficult to watch.This could certainly be an entertaining if unoriginal "serial killer back from the dead" movie with some judicious and ruthless editing, in its current form it plays like an unfinished rough cut.

This was a weird movie. It started out pretty good. A solid sound track behind flash images of gore and mayhem as our psychopath did his thing.Next comes his "down fall" Here i could tell I was in for a real cheesy "B" movie. Poor acting , I mean how hard is it to hold a gun and act like a cop? These guys could not. After the death scene of our psychopath we get the opening credit and the movie starts...From this point on it is bad acting big boobs, the occasional bucket of blood and poorly done death scenes.That said I gave the movie a four because in spite of its flaws it did maintain a sort of creepiness that I just could not quite shake off.I do not recommend this movie but I have to admit I have seem worse.
