Goth (2003)
Goth blurs the line between reality - driven horror and the hallucinatory style of 'Requiem for a Dream' in this raw and blood-soaked ride through the dark underbelly of the Gothic subculture.

    not even entertaining.

    at any price this film is a waste of your money. and if it was free, it's a waste of your time.

    beyond insulting to the entire goth subculture... i dare say this is the most horrible movie ever written.

    i don't blame it on the low budget as the writing is absolutely inexcusable. and that crap doesn't even pass for acting.

    and sleazy! the best sleazy films at least have nice cinematography, or a nice wardrobe.

    this film offers neither.

    bad clothing, bad acting, bad music, bad film.

    You have got to be kidding me.

    My boyfriend made me rent this. He actually had seen it before, and wanted to yet again,"embrace the darkness". Not in a good way, but in a "Oh my God, this movie is so eff-ing horrible, you've gotta see it" way. There's nothing I can really say about this movie, except for it is absolutely ridiculous in every possible aspect, and the only real reason to watch it is for a laugh (although, keep in mind, the humor of it wears off after the first fifteen minutes, and then it dawns on you that you just wasted four bucks renting it). I've also noticed that "Brain damage films" tends to trick you by making the covers of their films look somewhat like an actual, "real" horror movie, and if you don't bother to read carefully enough, you could accidentally rent it, expecting something of far more superior quality. Don't be fooled!

    terribly funny

    I rented this hoping I'd get something a little bit different: a "gothsploitation" film that reveals the eeevvviiilll dark side of goth culture that those crazy kids are into nowadays, ala "Class of 1984" or something like that. I figured it would be laughably bad, and, yeah, "Goth" is that... but it actually tries not to insult its audience's intelligence THAT much.

    Don't get me wrong; it's terrible and stupid, a very poorly written movie... but hell, what else WOULD it be? But it was just a little different from what I expected. The filmmakers obviously know little about the "goth" subculture (I don't know that much about it either, really, except that I think it's silly and some of the old "goth" bands like Bauhaus were pretty good), and luckily they don't really PRETEND to be authorities on it. They just sort of use some goth imagery and silly ideas about "darkness" to drive the (lame) plot.

    Basically, a character NAMED Goth lures a couple of goth kids on a rampage of death and destruction by constatly taunting them that they're "poser" goths and through threats of physical force. There's alos some hogwash about one of the character's sisters being killed by Goth a few years back and some revenge stuff, but that's all besides the point and really quite useless to the plot.

    Anyway, apparently, in order to be a real goth, you simply have to follow three rules:

    1. "Embrace the darkness."

    2. "Kill your fear."

    3. "Live for death."

    And apparently this entails having sex with/slashing up ugly, fat prostitues and stabbing random people in goth clubs. It's pretty funny stuff, and the gore is really quite pathetic if you as me. Best part of the movie is Goth's skull necklace that's top flips open to reveal a big pile of cocaine or something. Pretty sweet.

    Goth, the Great and Terrible

    Well, this micro-budget rubbish is disturbing, to say the least. Not much of a storyline, but definitely shocking. Make no mistake, this is a terrible movie, and will definitely not be appreciated by those who aren't into terrible horror movies. Even those who are, you may like it or hate it, there is only one way to find out.

    It is about Gothic couple who in a goth club meet a girl named 'Goth' played be Pheobe Dollar. Goth introduces them to this drug called 'White Light' and shows them her version of the Gothic subculture. Goth is cruel, perverted, and insane. I won't spoil it, but the movie has a few very disturbing rapes, murders, etc. and a plot twist or two, although there isn't much of a plot mind you.

    Well, I don't regret seeing it. I don't think it was a waist of my time or anything. This is the kind of film for those who like this kind of primal behavior, but it is certainly no 'Last House on the Left.' Well, it was good enough to leave an impression, and I didn't hate it, so I gave it 5 out of 10. I only recommend this for those who like micro-budget slasher/sleaze kind of stuff. This isn't even for those who like movies like Evil Dead because they're so bad they're good. No, this one is bad, but shocking, which makes it worthwhile for a small portion of horror fans.

    "Embrace The Corona - err... Darkness"

    This movie is not a must see - the script is uninspired, the creators conception of goth culture is skewed, and the dialogue is... well, in a word, horrible.

    I have the feeling the actors were paid in beer (Watch the bloopers on the DVD, hilarious) for their hard work trying to make their characters human - the acting itself was indeed a fine affair given the sloppy, disjointed and unconvincing dialogue. Dollar makes a fine evil goth chick and it is very fun to watch her suppress her unidentifiable accent. The actors were obviously more cognizant of the campiness of the film than the production crew, who appear pretty drunk in the Interviews on the DVD.

    A rental for lovers of unique and independent film. If you buy this and you habitually wear black cloths and dye your hair... you obviously don't know what goth is and have too much money for your own good. The goth lifestyle is really just an outlet for severe depression - not aggression. Goth (Dollar) put it very correctly when she said, "You call yourself goth and you've never even bled yourself?"
