brooklyn-de-106-924826 I watched this movie some time back in the mid of 2014. The movie begins with good concept, pulling the attention of the viewers. On a sudden, the movie lost its connection to the story. Many characters are entering and leaving puts you in frustration. The characters and camera view is also awesome. The only pain is in understanding what is happening in the movie. The only interesting scene in this movie for SM lovers is the unknown female naked bondage scene in the grind house. I give rating 3 (1+1+1) characters+camera+appearance of 10 seconds female nude bondage scene. Not sure the necessity of this scene but at least this scene could have stretched for some more time to drag attention of SM lovers.

z_nicolle I am an avid horror fan and love finding a good movie amongst the bad ones and boy, was this a bad one!! If you have read a good review on this they are lying to you. The acting in this was the pits, i am all for giving the characters a chance but they are so wooden it is unbelievable. With a tiny cast the actors are regurgitated throughout the movies anthologies in different roles showing no depth of script or talent.The stories are weak which is a shame, jumping on the bandwagon of the likes of creepshow and tales from the crypt of being tongue in cheek but there is no plot, no storyline and most of all made no sense.So don't waste an hour and a half of your life only to be left feeling disappointed and robbed.

dschmeding "Late Fee" roughly categorizes of one of the horror anthology movies. You get 2 horror shorts bundled into a surrounding story. If anything about this movie makes sense its the story that is wrapped around everything...Its Halloween and a couple decides to spend the evening watching horror movies. They arrive late to their local video store to rent some flicks and the owner is just about to close but agrees for them to pick some DVDs which they do among a strange Halloween party taking place in the store. Its all pretty stupid, yet fun seeing a bunch of masked guys as vampires and werewolves giving underground movie tips to the couple but if a movie mentions trash like "Flesh for the beast" you can expect that something bad is coming up. To make a long story short... they rent two totally brutal movies which the owner only gives them after signing the 100 pages shop rules including the special "late fee agreement" and off they go watching 2 really really lame shorts.Now if you are into Troma style stuff the Halloween story is kind of fun but the 2 movies everything is wrapped around are just annoying. I am especially shocked to see that the directors recycled two of their old shorts in this movie, so this thing is a kind of cash-off. First of "Pick up" about a chick meeting a guy, going to a motel and... a come on, you know it. The editing is disgraceful, I haven't seen such an overload of amateurish dissolves for a while. The story is a joke. OK, the chick is pretty hot but the whole thing makes no sense at all.After a short interlude it dives even deeper into "Damnation" which makes even less sense. A chick drives on a highway, gets pulled over by a ridiculously acted female highway patrol officer and is abducted. Next up comes a even more ridiculous sentencing in some dark room, she is thrown into a cell with some other chick and randomly Chick 2 gets a lame cannibal abortion while Chick 1 is sent off to do some snuff movie which ends with one of the most idiotic "twists" of all time and a car driving into a fake sunset that looks like from some school movie project.Its all damn random, the gore is thrown in just for the sake of it and is pretty tame and fake anyway. The ending is what gives the movie its name and I guess you can predict if you look at the DVD Cover. The couple from the Halloween story is kind of funny and the movie references and videostore jokes will please the horror nerds (although even here you mainly get auto-referential jokes about the directors previous movies) but all in all its bad, especially when you realize that you have just been served a recycling of 2 incredibly bad shorts which not even deserved to be released once, less being bundled into this excuse for a feature movie. If a director made such a number of movies and still feels the need to release a collection of shorts which are that bad (I have seen better shorts on the incredibly lame Fangoria Compilations) I wonder if its not time to bury the career.

alanbobet I just came from the world premiere at NYC's Kraine Theater of this Anthology Horror Film called LATE FEE produced by video company Media Blasters/Shriek Show, John Sirabella and co-directed and written and co-directed by John Carcietta & Carl Morano. Unfortunately this indie horror film can't hold a candle either acting-wise, production-wise and even direction-wise to similar anthology horror films like the recent TRICK OR TREAT & TRAILER PARK OF TERROR. The film in itself has a basic good premise in which two twenty somethings go to a video store to rent horror films on Halloween night but the seedy & weird owner of the video store warns the couple to return the DVDs before 12 midnight or literally there will be hell to pay since the video store has an unusual way to get payment for late fees. But the two films the couple see which are THE PICK UP & DAMNATION which are the 2 stories of this anthology film, promise more than they really deliver, since the stories are predictable, unfunny and not scary at all! Especially when the acting is so over the top and amateurish & even the gore and makeup effects in the film are not up to par with the kind of films Media Blasters usually releases on DVD. On the production side, the film looks so cheap that it looks like it was virtually filmed in Media Blasters' backyard in New Jersey where the company is located and even the company's video store Rare Flix in NJ doubles for the ominous video store of the film. In my opinion after seeing this tepid film, Media Blasters/Shriek Show should quit making their own movies and keep on releasing Italian , Japanese and Spanish genre films like they were doing in the first place, since LATE FEE, which will be soon released on DVD in October 2009, is not even worth a video rental.
