A Crack in the Floor

They sure gave this thing a good write up on the DVD box but sadly it was no surprise at all when this movie turned out to be a major piece of junk.I was pretty drunk when I watched this thing so I may not get all the details exactly right BUT it was bad ,that much I do remember.

A bunch of friends set out on their annual trip together.This year they decided to go camping and hiking and dope smoking ,the stuff a bunch of 20 year olds in a horror flick usually do.They get lost and end at an old deserted cabin out in the middle of nowhere.Unknown to them a weirdo lives beneath the cabin in a cellar.

It sounds like it might be a cool horror film but it wasn't.A few good scenes early in the films were pretty cool.Rance Howard and Gary Busey played a couple of weirdo local yokels but they were used too little and never seen again after these early scenes.Why Im not sure,cause none of the youngsters in this film were good actors at all.They were a dull and uninspired bunch.Mario Lopez was really really bad.I mean really bad.

Bo Hopkins played the local sheriff and he was good as always.But damn was he ever fat.He sure packed on the weight in his last years.

This film had very little gore and what there was was clunky and badly done.The weirdo under the floor wasn't developed much at all and therefore didn't never seem that scary.There was some brief side boob shots of a pretty large pair but once again it never developed into that glorious full blown nudity that would have made this mess a whole lot better.

I never understood how this guy survived laying underneath the cellar out in the middle of nowhere.As I said the villain was never fleshed out and never really even seen that much so I didn't develop that much dread of him.

In fact it was sort of a relief when he would kill one of these bad acting idiots.This was a totally lame and totally forgettable piece of junk that isn't worth your time.

What can I say here that hasn't been said a hundred times before? Folks, this is your classic blueprint for a cheesy horror films. Bad script, atrocious acting, no plot whatsoever, and a killer who lives under the floorboards are the key essentials to B-movie immortality.

The actor that has the most `star power' here is Gary Busey. Wow. What a legendary Hollywood idol he is. Starring in `A Crack in the floor' is probably the reason why he is the highly acclaimed Hollywood actor that he is.

Anyone over 10 will be bored silly. Spend your $3.99 on something more worthwhile.

Grade- D

A Crack In The Floor falls into the category of movies that are so pathetically bad that you watch them in order to laugh at them.

Mario Lopez is the only former alumnus of Saved By The Bell that Elizabeth Berkeley has a right to mock.

The acting is terrible, the dialogue is even worse - and the storyline is downright laughable.

My husband and I caught this one on cable and at first couldn't believe how bad it was and just as we were about to change the channel, Gary Busey's character was introduced. We laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes. Although I'm not sure if we were laughing harder at his performance or the fact that he was in this stinker in the first place.

We thoroughly enjoyed laughing at the remainder of this film. Rent it for pure campy amusement.

SPOILER ALERT!

First off, yes, Gary Busey is great, but his appearance in the movie has nothing whatever to do with the plot.

I use the word plot very loosely. This is a slasher flick with no plot and no point to it. The psycho killer (actually a pitiable fellow) leaves not a single survivor. Folks go into the cabin, folks get hacked to death. Period.

Usually at the end of most slasher movies the killer gets killed (or DOES he?), and at least one good-guy/gal character survives to have the requisite scene at the end involving a nightmare that the killer is alive and in bed next to him/her -- aaaaah!! It was only a dream. The end.

I wish I hadn't wasted money to rent this. Gary Busey was funny, but not three bucks' worth.

I thought this movie might actually be good, but beware movies that are found on the lowest case on the rental rack and ESPECIALLY if its not available on DVD!!

Well, the acting is bad, especially when an actor from a kids series is involved. Nice to hear him swear,tho!

The face on tne cover..god knows, but we never see the killer..but i bet more cash went into the cover design than the rest of the movie.

As for the billing of Mr. Busey-Hes in for all of five minutes playing this dairrehtic chicken-freak in a blue suit(hard times for this man, me thinks)

Avoid!!
