Best movie ever!
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
View More...and it's not something I'm proud of.During my early high school years, I used to rent movies every Friday at my local video store, mostly horror films. One of those days, I asked the clerk for some recommendation since I couldn't find anything interesting enough, so he suggested ''Webs''. He described it as ''Alien with spiders instead of xenomorphs'' and since the DVD art looked sort of creepy, I believed him.Oh boy, I had absolutely no idea of what I was about to see...It took me less than 10 minutes to realize the truth; I had been fooled. I'd like to write a good review but I'll just sum this movie up with a single word; CRINGE.It seemed like they didn't even tried hard, they just took ideas from lots of sci-fi/monster movies and executed them in the worst way possible; just compare the ending to the one of ''Deep Rising''. The acting was the kind of acting you expect to see in these kind of movies, forgettable and bland. The same goes for the dialogue. And yes, it was the last movie I ever rented. It's not something I'm proud to say, but I don't regret it either, not in the least. It made me laugh a lot, so it gets a few points because of it.
View MoreFor a movie titled "Webs", I had initially expected more spiders and much more webbing, so imagine my surprise when there was surprisingly little on both accounts. Apparently Chicago in an alternate dimension is overrun by strange mutated humans that have been exposed to spider venom; a venom that turns people into spider-soldiers. And more impressively is that this venom causes the people's hands to turn into claws and their teeth to become crooked, protruding and just ridiculous to look at."Webs" is a low budget movie, yes, but there is something mildly entertaining about the setting of the movie, despite the lack of spiders and a proper horror element. There was a single spider in the movie, the queen, which was actually nicely enough made, although not with the best of CGI effects. But still, it worked out well enough.However, the movie is weighed down by a rather unemotional and unenthusiastic actor with a bad talent and even worse hair. Why they opted to cast Richard Grieco for the lead role in this movie is definitely beyond my comprehension. However, I strongly believe that the movie would have been much, much better with someone else in the role; someone who at least had enthusiasm for the job and role he is hired to portray.Aside from Richard Grieco, then people in the movie generally did good enough jobs with their given roles, despite their characters being very one-dimensional and not really having proper characteristics and personalities as to the extend where we as the audience actually get into the movie and form some sort of bond or attachment to certain characters. All throughout "Webs", you never really got to know any of the characters on any profound level, which made the movie have a very superficial feel to it.For a horror movie, then "Webs" was rather devoid of scares and a general horror movie. It had a decent enough story, but it just failed to deliver in the horror genre. And as for low budget movies go, then there are far better choices out there to pick amongst for an evening of movie watching.The movie was predictable to the core, as most of the movies in this particular genre is. But the movie was fast paced and had some moments here and there. But in overall, then "Webs" is rather below average for a horror movie of this particular type.
View MoreLike the unpleasant odor of an overflowing bedpan, it's... "WEBS". It was amazing to see what the aging Richard Grieco has been doing since his last foray into 'acting', except when I checked to see what movies he's been in recently there were quite a few. Of course it seems that 99.999% of them have the title with the caption (TV). Ironically I knew a girl who just thought he was the hottest thing since Ponch on C.H.I.P.S., if that tells you anything. All I can say is that time has not been kind to his road weary face and his acting abilities are still as sub-par as ever. Onwards and upwards... The CGI for the queen spider was decent, although not spectacular. The other people involved looked as if they were going through the motions, dutifully hoping the shooting schedule would end so they could go cash their checks before the rent on their trailer house(s) was due. It did have the look of an old 'Sliders' episode, except with half the budget and half the combined acting pool. All I can say is if you like crap, buy a bag of manure because at least it will fertilize your lawn.
View MoreI know I gave Point Doom a bad rating.I really liked this flick.I liked it so much I recorded it.I knew Richard was a decent actor.To me he in this movie did an excellant job.The cast was good even the guy from the Fast and the Furious.I give Richard props for this.The effects were good for a low budget movie.
