Cyst

Produced on a fairly low budget, with cheap special effects and featuring George Hardy of the infamous Troll 2, Cyst is a film that has the soul of those B movies that had their time of fame in the 50s and 60s. It is from those old monster movies where only props were used and were very enjoyable to watch. Here we are offered a 100% handmade creature with some gore to make the experience more grotesque. They managed to make something that honors that type of film with its short duration. It's only almost 70 minutes and the cyst doesn't appear until halfway through the movie, but the wait is worth it to see the bug doing its thing. It is not a horror film per se because it is quite oriented towards black humor. With a small cast of actors who overact a lot, the film is really entertaining and manages to generate laughter with its absurd humor. Cyst is ultimately a fun dark comedy film that deserves a place in the world of B movies. My final rating for this film is a 7/10.

It has zero tension and zero atmosphere.

I fast forwarded some scenes.

Mayb such kinda movies ain't my cup of tea.

In fact revisiting the 50s n 60s monster movies are much better than this lousy one.

I started watching this fully expecting low-budget indie-horror. I like these movies; even if the production doesn't match up to the ambition, you can often still appreciate what they were aiming for.

I went into this film expecting a low-budget sci-fi body-horror, because that's what every official description had led me to belive this was. In actual fact, this is a gory comedy-horror.

And, when you view it in that light, it works well. It's ridiculous and over-the-top, and features more than its fair share of gore and pus.

It's just a shame that it's not promoted honestly. It would actually find its audience more easily if it was tagged as "comedy", but the creators have chosen not to do this.

It's a really enjoyable film, but because of how it is presented online, it may not be what you expect.

Oh man what a great little film, defiantly hits the nostalgia buttons

is genunily funny, the practical effects are good, the actors are good,

if you love cheesy 80's/90's horror comedys this is well worth a watch.

Loved this. For a short running time of around 70 minutes it's a great fun flick before you go to bed. We get a mad scientist, bloody disgusting handmade effects, funny scenes and dialogues and a whole feeling of watching a trash movie from the 50ies. Eva Haberman is great as the lead nurse having a bad last working day. Prepare more to laugh instead of being shocked. I really appreciate what they did here.

Don't forget to stay after the credits roll - can't wait for "Cyst 2: The Revenge" if it will ever come ;) After the ending we even get some outtakes from the making of the movie. So don't switch of too early.
