necresaro I am an avid horror movie lover. I have such a broad spectrum of the types of horror movies I watch. However, this movie is not worth the time. It is truly one of the worst psychological thrillers I have ever seen. I kept waiting for it to become more suspenseful, but 20 minutes before the end, I finally gave up. Everyone definitely has their own tastes, but I cannot fathom how this received such a high rating.....
utahman1971 Good movie but what is the NR for? This is nothing close to Hellraiser: Hellbound. Just showing blood is not that gory to me. Usually Not Rated or Unrated is over the top gore, and this is just a horror movie that should be just R rating. I can't believe people that make such a deal over tamed stuff.This girl is hot and tries to audition for a horror movie role. Oh well, people want to say this movie is gory, then they need to get out more. This is really tame for gore. Even what is even listed under gore on this site, is tame, but says 10/10 on it. No way.Only the bad language is making this movie higher than a PG-13. I can't stand what people say when it comes to wrong information on a movie. So what if I sound like an over the top gore freak but I rather see that than a tamed up movie that is boring, like a lot of so called horror fans trying to be fans and hate the gore.Pretty darn mellow, boring, and slow is all I can say, but for normal movie.
Sharky I'm very angry that almost 2 hours were wasted on this amateur movie, so this why am writing this review, it made me feel bad and angry.if it wasn't promoted as horror movie, then probably I wouldn't be disappointed and might be less frustrated, after 1 hour I hoped that maybe there will be sort of surprise from some kind of "creative" creators our there but, nothing changed, it remained boring as from the first minute.The last 10-20 minutes there was few bloody scenes (the main actress killed her friends), but based on that, you can't say it's a horror movie, because there was ZERO suspense.there was no interesting plot, no surprises , nothing mysterious that you the viewer could see and try to figure out until it's revealed , there is no such a stuff, but instead a monotonic character, desperate that hope to get a role for some kind of commercial or a movie, I even didn't care what that was due to the fact of many non-sense and crap that was there.to summarise the movie: A desperate young lady is ready to suck for getting role (and she did) , while portraying the interviewers and the producer as evil and belong to satanism groups (they wore pentagram symbolic accessories) , probably a metaphor to make them look evil and the "protagonist" as a victim, while this didn't happen , I couldn't sympathise the protagonist, so I'm not sure if producers wanted to do that by purpose or it's a mistake in the story. my overall impression was, that this movie was done by frustrated producers that are jealous from Hollywood's top successful producers so they made this film with lots of clichés and overacted/over-presented metaphors, that probably don't exist today or rare.So, yeah, this movie managed to make me feel like idiot that I continued watching it after 1 hour, or even after 30 minutes.
Claudio Carvalho In Hollywood, the Big Taters'waitress Sarah Walker (Alex Essoe) is an ambitious aspiring actress that suffers from hair pulling disorder. Sarah does not respect her boss Carl (Pat Healy) or her job since she believes she will be a great actress and this job is temporary only to pay her bills. She shares an apartment with her roommate Tracy (Amanda Fuller) that frequently discloses her secrets to their selfish friends Erin (Fabianne Therese) that likes to humiliate Sarah and steal her roles; Danny (Noah Segan), who is an aspiring director that likes Sarah; Poe (Shane Coffey) and Ashley (Natalie Castillo) that are indifferent to her. When Sarah is invited to an audition of the film The Silver Scree from the company Astraeus Pictures, their auditioners do not show any reaction to her performance. When Sarah leaves the audition, she goes to the toilet room and has an attack, pulling her hair and crying. Immediately after, the casting director (Maria Olsen) invites her to return to the room and repeat what she did in the bathroom for her assistant (Marc Senter) and she. Sarah is invited again to an audition with the producer (Louis Dezseran) and when he insinuates to have sex with her, she refuses and goes home. However her ambition prevails and she returns to his house and has oral sex with him. He tells that she wants to be famous, she needs to die and reborn. When Sarah returns home, she finds that her body is deteriorating and she needs to murder her friends to complete her transformation. What will she do?"Starry Eyes" is a disturbing horror film with potential to be great. The story is a sort of gore version of Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray", where the body of the lead actress deteriorates instead of her body, with "Faust". Alex Essoe has a top-notch performance and the gore scenes are impressive. The plot has flaws, without any explanation about the cult or how the deaths could be explained to the police, families and landlords, maybe because of the low-budget. The conclusion does not show Sarah famous but she probably might be. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available on Blu-Ray or DVD.
