Goth

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.

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.

Budget Goth subculture movie is nothing more than cheap and cheerful. Well, without much cheer.

OK, so this one was obviously made on a shoestring budget, and the production values suffer as a result...

Laura Reilly (Who?) is Chrissy, a 'goth' who embraces the superficial nature of the culture. Aided and abetted by her boyfriend Boone (Dave Stann) she goes to a gig at a club and encounters Phoebe Dollar's (Your guess is as good as mine) 'Goth', a sadistic and sinister goth who delights in making people suffer. She takes the 2 on a trip of violence, sodomy, and drug-taking.

OK, first off, the acting is not good, but it's the type of movie where it's impossible to act well. The low budget cheap film-reel is more Blair Witch than anything else, with the difference being the movie isn't filmed as a documentary. So it does look like a group of film students have taken a day off college to film a project...

The 'effects' are truly appalling - the blood literally looks like tomato sauce, and no attempt has been made to create convincing wounds. Apparently smearing puree on someone's chest is enough to tell us they've been sliced open.

The plot itself is daft, but quite honestly it's not hopeless. It's *reasonably* entertaining, and not overly predictable. Sure, it's not especially original, but it doesn't have to be.

As for the question of the accuracies about goth subculture, well I find anyone defending goth culture to be mostly misguided. People become goths because they're trying to be different, yet because it's such a common route to take, by trying to be different, goths end up conforming just like the rest of us. Plus true Gothic culture is nothing like the film portrays, nor anything like what most people think it is.

But this is academic and irrelevant.

Ignore the factual discrepancies, the poor special effects, the awful acting, and purely focus on the strongest aspect, the story, and you'll find this vaguely agreeable for an hour and a half.

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?"

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!
