Dom P @RT97317517 04/20/2024 Never in my life have I seen a horror film so gloriously executed. While the cinematography was lacking, the acting made up for it and I completely forgot that every character had multiple harsh shadows and the audio was unsynced. Besides the script being an exact copy of "Halloween: Ressurection" with multiple horror movie tropes and very gratuitous nudity that served no purpose, this was basically an original story that I've never seen before. Also, whoever doubled as the costume designer and college girl on the end of the couch was clearly a master of their craft. Just an overall wonderful experience from a movie that has been copied and pasted a hundred times that brings absolutely nothing to the table besides making me feel every agonizing minute and being a physical and mental challenge to get through. Very well done. See more 01/01/2013 This is essentially a REALLY BAD knock off of Halloween: Resurrection. Seriously, it is like the exact same movie! The thing that sets this film apart is the acting. The acting is SO bad. It is literally some of the most horrible acting I have ever seen. Brandon Goins wins the award for worst supporting actor of all time, while Dan Falcone takes the prize for worst leading man of all time. Seriously it was terrible. See more 05/28/2012 I have to say that this muct be one of the worst things I have seen in a while. So many times when I think it can't possibly get any worse, it's amplified. By the way the house on the cover picture is nowhere in this. I'm not even calling it a film, it doesn't deserve that. Pathetic plot, acting, characters, and I especially give the lowest words to the pornography. I wasted a bit too much of my life on this crap. Don't do the same. See more 02/15/2012 Death on Demand (Adam Matalon, 2008) Before helming the terminally stupid Death on Demand, Adam Matalon had directed two things: Sesame Street skits and a short called Sex and Camping. No, I can't figure it out, either. But it makes a lot more sense than Death on Demand, whose continuity issues in the first half-hour would really be a problem if you could somehow bring yourself to give half a fig about the goings-on therein. Plot: Sean McIntyre (Sixty Cups of Coffee's Jerry Broome) was a mountaineer who went nuts and killed his family twenty years ago. Ever since, his house has stood abandoned, rumored to be haunted. Fast-forward to the present day, and college student Richard DeNola (Over the G.W.'s Dan Falcone), looking for a way to make some quick cash, comes up with the idea of doing a webcast from the house, offering five grand to anyone who manages to stay the night without fleeing. His dad (Ralph Bernard in his first feature appearance), a self-made millionaire, thinks he's nuts, but you know fathers-as long as Richard can get a thousand subscriptions to the webcast, he clears the prize money and makes a nifty profit. In order to massage the numbers, Richard comes up with three teams guaranteed to pull in the local viewers. There are two rival football stars from the team, Biff (All God's Creatures' Josh Folan) and Brad (What Happens in Vegas' Brandon Goins) and their girlfriends, aspiring psychic Darla (The Flying Scissors' Elizabeth Jamison) and Tammy (Apocalypse, CA's Anne McDaniels). The fifth respondent is something of a geek, and subscriptions are flagging, so Richard makes the decision to dump his partner and substitute Velvet Luv (Emerging Past's Krista Grotte), a porn star he's hired. Subscriptions go through the roof-and really explode when a séance held by Darla, engineered by Richard, inadvertently causes the group to bring the spirit of Sean McIntyre back into our world to kill again. I'm pretty sure "dumb" is not the right word to use for this. (I have read a number of reviews that say it's a direct rip-off of Halloween: Resurrection; I haven't seen that one and so can't say, but I'll put it out there just in case.) It has all the hallmarks of exactly the kind of movie you want to avoid: the plot is lame and predictable, the acting is worthless, the direction is fumble-fingered. And if you can make sense out of the openeing sequence before halfway through the movie, you did better than I. If you're looking for a turn-your-brain-off horror movie and your video rental store is out of every other possible choice, grab this. Otherwise, go with something, anything, else. * 1/2 See more 07/20/2011 It's all sex scenes. Dont watch it. I hated it. See more 09/23/2010 What can I say about this film? Not much really. At first, while watching it, I thought it was a Family Channel movie. The camera set-up, the lighting, the music, and the acting made me feel as if I was actually watching something made for the Family Channel, that's how bad it was. Then the killings started. The contrast between the killing scenes, and the "plot development scenes" was shocking. The actual scenes where the killer did his thing were actually well done. The rest however, was just utter crap. While there were kernels and potential, the overall movie was close to unbearable. See more Read all reviews
