STITCHES is an indie horror flick set in a boarding house run by a kindly old woman who turns out to be a demon in disguise. The story sees a bunch of boarders generally hanging out and chilling while their landlady occasionally kills them for dark purposes. Made on a zero budget, this has no real plot of note, although I did like the old-fashioned look of the thing which is a lot more impressive than the usual cruddy-looking indie nonsense. There are a few good ideas buried amid the tedium.

Low budget with some better than average special effects. Mrs. Lucy Albright is a sorceress that fashions her outer self out of stitching together skin and body parts of her victims. She checks into a quiet New England boarding house with the full intent of stealing the guest's souls and turning them into paper dolls for her book of memories. Don't expect any gore; some may say don't expect much at all...but STITCHES is really not all that bad for 81 minutes of straight to video. For a low budget flick this film is photographed rather well. There is some over-acting; but the story is kind of novel.Other cast members: Debra Mayer, Kaycee Shank, Marc Newburger and Robert Donovan.

This really could have been a lot better. Instead, it turned out to be one boring as hell movie, with absolutely no thrilling moments at all in it. NONE!! Come on, at least TRY to scare us when billing a movie as a horror. Please!! I passed on watching "Godzilla vs. Mothra" to watch this. I should have watched Godzilla, at least there would have been some action!!

In 1995, when then named Full Moon Entertainment broke away from their distribution deal with Paramount Pictures, they left what was a legacy of low-budget horror films behind them. When Full Moon re-surfaced they released Castle Freak, an excellent piece of horror. After that film, however, the company slowly went downhill.With releases such as Talisman, Curse of the Puppet Master, Totem, and Prison of the Dead, you could tell Full Moon was missing out on a lot, and skipping more beats than an armless drummer. Then, earlier this year, Tempe Entertainment knew Full Moon needed help, and they gave the respectful horror film company A LOT.Stitches has become the third Full Moon film to be released with the aid of Tempe Entertainment, and I must say, I have been most impressed with this union, including this film the most. It plays out like a horror film, but also as a psychological thriller, a new idea from Full Moon Pictures.
The evil Mrs. Albright (Probably named after line producer and one of Full Moon's leading women, Ariauna Albright) is actually a demon in disguise trying to take the souls of occupants of a home. After she takes their souls, she makes them into paper dolls who do anything she says. Sounds stupid, right? It might, but it's great.I was really impressed with the films atmosphere, and Full Moon's now trademark digital effects. Usually, the effects don't go over too well, but, this film, seemed completely different, the effects were good, and fit well.
This "Who-Dun-It" film is what you need to watch if you just want something original and something that gives what was a struggling film company new life. Next from Full Moon Pictures, Demonicus.
