CorblimeyGuvnors I really enjoyed this film and cannot understand why this has a 2.7 rating.A serial killer, Vernon Fell, is hunted down and killed in a horror theme park called Frightworld. A Year later a group of goth like teens decide to have a party in the same house and yes Vernon is resurrected to continue his killing spree.This film has a lot going for it and ticked all of the right boxes for me. There is a lot of Gore accompanied by a hard rock soundtrack. My kinda film !!!!I did find that this film tried to stand out from the crowd by having flashy editing and this added something for me and I enjoyed the fast pacing that the early scenes had and set me up for the rest of the film nicely. The scenery fitted in with the look of the film and Frighworld had a very colourful look about it. Yes the acting needed a lot to be desired and slowed the film down a tad. But I really did not mind this at all. Where the bulk of the scenes are filmed (The party room) it is adorned with horror posters and I enjoyed trying to spot some favourites. Yes it's clichéd and the lead killer wears a glove like Freddy, but this just added to the charm for me. Special mention must go to lead actress Kamillia Kataxenna Kova an English model, with the smallest waist I have seen on screen 23 inches. Made by people that seems to have a love for horror films and a very commendable effort.
movieman_kev A group of young adults visit the world-renowned Frightworld in preparation for the grand re-opening, but the ghost of a magical serial killer still roams the corridors of this haunted house waiting to pick them off one by one.Well it started off with an appealing atmospheric style but sadly morphed into a rather generic, relatively bloodless slasher. (There are moments of gore but for the most part it's relegated to the beginning and ending) its a shame as if the film could've fully capitalized on the promise of the beginning we would've had a pretty memorable film on our hands.Eye Candy: Kamilla Kova and Crystal Gonzales both get topless
slimjack 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.
StudioLAX 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.
