Brimstone Incorporated

Like I say in my title, why the hell does this movie only have a 3.5 rating...? I mean, seriously... Compared to all the truly poor drivel out there, this one to me personally honestly ranks far higher than most.

First off, do you know how VERY difficult it is to pull off a Horror/Comedy that is in any way decent. Not too campy, not too dumb, and actually with good stories, sharp writing, and excellent acting? Not to mention a GOOD ANTHOLOGY...?! That almost never happens, at least in my lowly and wretched opinion, not to this high of a level of competence.

I honestly found this movie very entertaining. AND, FWIW, I usually don't go for Horror/Comedies with the exception of course of true Classics like 'REANIMATOR', for example. But you know, this one really did come through and I genuinely found it quite entertaining. It had the rare balance of having clever (but not overdone) humour, combined with truly scary or horrifying parts. Personally, I would say that this film almost, ALMOST reaches the Classic level of say 'CREEPSHOW' Almost...

I truly have NO bloody idea why this movie has such a low rating. Like I say, to me I thought for the very demanding format it was conceived and executed in a manner that was indeed very sharp, clever, and truly scary at times.

I would say that if you do like good Horror/Comedies, ones that are a few steps above your usual dumb/campy ones, and if you don't mind an Anthology format, I honestly feel that many would indeed find this movie very funny and entertaining.

I am a fan of bad movies. Maybe in 30, 40 years this movie will be entirely "good" for lovers of cheesy movies. Right now, only the first of the three stories is "good". It is entertaining, weird and funny. The second one is terrible and the third one is just slightly better.

I love anthologies and appreciative the effort, but this is a disaster. First Date was had the most issues (acting aside, good lord who let these 2 on screen). It made little sense coupled with a ridiculous script which reminded me of a Dawson's Creek wannabe. Skunk Weed wasn't much better, disjointed, poorly edited and acted. Mama's Boy had moments of something, but over all was over the top and had bad FX trying to be something they weren't. As far as the wrap around, the idea was good but, again, poorly acted with a script sounding like the unnatural banter found in Dawson's Creek. The "devil" tried too hard to be evil, failing miserably. I am begging indie horror to spend time on their scripts and finding real actors. But, I do appreciate an anthology, there's that.

I really wanted to like this, but did not. It was very disjointed and put together poorly. Even though this was not my cup of tea, I do not want to give spoilers to those who may enjoy it. Plain and simple the acting was very amateur, at best, the writing was trying to copy numerous outlets, and 2 of the 3 stories were extremely forced and hardly made sense. The wrap around had merit, less the extremely bad acting. I am sorry for the review, but being honest if you put yourself out there. Not good.

Brimstone Incorporated is a horror anthology containing three different stories, and a law firm setting to tie the stories together.

With each tale, a person is at a law firm explaining their side of the story. Then after they tell their story their "fate" is determined.

Despite a low 3.5 rating, Brimstone Incorporated is a decent B-movie horror anthology.

There are a couple of familiar faces, such as Kaylee Williams, in the film. The first and third stories are the best.

Do you find dating a to be a Nightmare? Potential partners falling in love right away? Well the first tale concerns online dating. A man arrives at a local dinner to meet the woman that he met online for their date. Needless to say she isn't what she had appeared to be online.

Another story concerns an over protective mother who hates all of her son's girlfriends. Is she being a witch or does she have a good reason for her behavior? We learn about her past and why she is the way that she is.

We also have a story that concerns two brothers. One brother is afraid to leave his apartment, and hasn't for 10 year or so. The other brother takes care of him. He will pay the ultimate price for his fear of the outside world.

Brimstone Incorporated is a good watchable horror anthology. It could probably use some trimming to help with pacing. At 97 minutes things get a bit slow from time to time A lot of these indie horror flicks run 80-90 minutes, which is plenty. I feel this way about most movies.

6/10: worth a view, but not one that I would buy a DVD or Blu Ray of.
