36 pasos

A gaggle of bikini-clad uber-hotties are preparing for a birthday party, but they're in for a blood-soaked nightmare instead.

36 PASOS is an absolutely crazy movie with a disturbing story about abduction, torture, revenge, and murder. The disjointed, disorienting filming style adds to the overall berserk goings-on. It's like being caught in a whirlwind!

Not for everyone. May require repeat viewings...

... but it definitely feels like a marathon for you, while you're watching it. But let me put it clearer, because my analogy isn't that easy to follow. You have a low budget movie here, that succeeds to undermine your expectations. With a script that must have been put loosely together, a misogynistic central theme and "acting" that does not deserve to be named that way, there is very little to get excited about here.

Even if you are into slasher movies, the pacing, the story and most of all the completely annoying characters (or their portrayal by the actors) will leave you with a bitter taste. From start until way after the movie has ended ... But even a movie like this seems to have it's followers, as I can see by some voting and comments here. And while I do admit that I'm stunned by that fact, I still respect their views. But not the ones stating that there is good acting in the movie and even less the statements giving the movie another dimension, by just making up reasons why the filmmaker did this movie.

This is not a philosophical movie and even the ending, which picks up pace, comes too late to save anything. Yes this is low-budget, yes there are a few good looking women in bikinis ... but if it's the latter your after, you're better off with a nice magazine!

Amazing!!, Schoking!!, Cool!!, Amoral!!, Gore!! and much more!!! From the creators of "Rooms for Tourists" and "Scream the night" comes the last fashion in horror film. This movie changes the rules of the horror genre and goes more deep. It's maybe the best horror film in the history of the Argentinian cinema. This is surprisingly well done for the obviously small budget the picture was alloted. With very good gore effects that won't let any gore hound down. I hope Bogliano stays with the genre and can get some better funds for his next movie. This is definitely a movie any slasher fans should check out especially those who felt burned or even slightly disappointed with "hostel".

I, oddly enough, found this at my local Blockbuster store in Chicago when it came out back in 2006. I was so happy that I rented it! It's a great low budget horror movie. Not only do I love the cast (a bunch of beautiful South American women in bikinis?! Who wouldn't like that?) but the story and follow through is genius. Even artistic sequences of animation- Argento style kill scenes. A true midnight movie. I recently bought the DVD because you cannot find it anywhere! I almost want to keep this treasure to myself but more people who are fans of exploitation, low budget and horror should check this out. Anyone who doesn't like it doesn't understand original filmmaking. Only a $5,000 budget?? It's gold.

I only watched this because it was linked to I'll Never Die Alone (2008) but was I wrong to watch this little stinker. Before you stop reading my review, it do offer a lot but you have to sit throughout a rather boring flick.

And by boring I mean, I cant say what i just saw. There's so much going on and I can't get out of it. Then you have girls dancing for 3 minutes in their bikinis and suddenly a door opens and one girl is smashed in the face with a hammer. Then you have a lot of blah blah between the girls. Then you got a part that the girls are shown in a cartoon. Then there is a part that all girls are full frontal in strobo light. You get it I think, this is weird.

But there are a few gory moments to catch but overall I had the fast forward always in hand to skip parts. Not for everyone, only for the lovers of gore on a low base.
