Robert H This horror film is too good to be true it has it all dark humor plenty of top shelf Gore and eye candy British girls highly recommended to all horror fans Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Andy B It's hard to tie down what the worst thing is about this film. The acting is appalling - I sincerely hope that none of them are relying on their skills to feed themselves. The script is dreadful - which leads me to wonder if the scriptwriters have ever actually held a conversation in their entire lives. The plot is allegedly original - only if you have never watched a film or read a book. The soundtrack is terrible. The special effects are laughable - the spider baby being a particular low point. Are there any redeeming features? No. From the first scene it is clear that the writer has some kind of goth revenge fantasy going along the lines of "wouldn't it be cool if ...". Apparently this is a "homage to Amicus". Rubbish. I would advise you not to waste your time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Audience Member Certified classic, the acting is top class from everyone especially in the final 15 minutes of the film. Alot of tits, alot of blood and people getting killed. Beautiful piece of art I'm surprised it didn't win an Oscar at the time of release Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Do you like and/or know who Cradle of Filth is? Then you may/may not care about this movie, which features nearly everyone from the band's Midian era lineup, as well as placing leader Dani Filth into a role that connects all of the stories. It was written and directed by Alex Chandon, who had directed the band's videos for "No Time to Cry" and "Her Ghost in the Fog." Things start with The Man (Filth) being attacked by two muggers before he turns things around and kills both of them. The stories are a mixed bag — that's putting it lightly — generally involving goth-looking girls dying horribly, like a girl who sleeps with The Man and has a monster rip its way out of her womb and kill one of her friends. Everything and every story is the fault of Kemper, the son of a Satanist who has been using his occult abilities to abduct and kill children while even now continuing his rampage through his son — The Man — from a mental ward. There's an amputee who can't have sex with his wife until he kills his friend and takes his leg. Then his wife dies in a car crash and he kills himself. When the police arrive, The Man kills them both. That's the whole story of that segment, which feels like an excuse to show amputee sex and the gore of a woman who has gone through a car window. The cop who is trying to get to Kemper keeps hitting dead ends and even his son is caught up in this, growing obsessed with internet snuff chatrooms and ended up killed in one. He finally makes his way to the sanitarium, but even after he shoots The Man in the head, tentacles emerge from the wounds to end the movie. You can see the Amicus influence in this, but it's kinda like a Cradle of Filth song: long, overblown and yet still fun in parts. Your mileage, as they always say, may vary. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is very gorey and very underrated eventhough it is an underground move I give it 5 stars Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A decent film for hardcore fans of Cradle of Filth (like myself), but not intended for anyone that isn't a super fan. It's bloody and has some decent parts, but as a whole, the film is one tangled, mismatched storyline with no rhyme nor reason. If you want to see Dani Filth in a movie, buy it. If you are expecting a Hellraiser-esque film, don't get your hopes up and don't waste your time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
