Sweet Insanity

this is pretty much your run of the mill teen slasher movie: complete with the beautiful people clique, the gratuitous sex, the stereotypical characters (btw did anyone else find them all really rude?), the drugs & booze... the whole package really... i'd also add that the PLOT IS THIN & UNORIGINAL.

i guess it's MILDLY ENTERTAINING, i've got nothing against light entertainment it boasts ALRIGHT SUSPENSE (we know what's going to happen from the start but not really why). it is also QUITE SCARY due to an ACHIEVED TENSION & UNSETTLING MOOD (although i think the director's use of "arty" shots didn't contribute that much). furthermore there are A FEW GOOD LINES in there (yet this may well be due to the fact they are cheesy and bring a whole other level to the film)... but the writing is greatly let down by the poor acting.

i'm aware that this is an independent movie (quite glossy and well "finished" i have to say in it's defence), so i guess you could try and justify this sort of thing... but THE ACTING WAS REALLY DIRE!(i mean jc vandamme/c. norris/c.bronson league, but to make it worst they seem like they're competing for the crown)... you know, the embarrassing & painful kind... the obvious guess is that their priority was the look of the cast (i've got nothing against a bit of eye candy & this was probably not such a bad choice considering the targeted & actual audiences for these sort of films but it really sabotaged the film).

i never leave comments (especially long ones & concerning films i didn't enjoy... they're never the "main" ones are they?... i smell a rat), but the current comment did not satisfy me. this film takes risks? please... this is the official recipe of a tried and tested genre. they clearly knew there is a market for it. the only risks this movie took was the risk of making a bad movie with even worse actors.

sorry if i put anyone off but this was kind of the point. i suggest that U SHOULD NOT PAY to see this film (i'm glad i didn't), BORROW IT off a mate who fell for the comments/rating.

My God this was bad!! The acting and directing is so very very bad. The plot (if there is one) is close to nothing. The few (2) persons giving this movie 10, must be involved in making it. I can not believe that any 'normal' movie going person could like this sh**. The effects is so homemade, and it really shows. I have seen a lot of horror / thrillers /slashers, but this is the worst i have seen. Not that the other movies had so much better effects, but the acting and directing was miles better then this. Hi hi... It's so bad you will start laughing at all the faults and stupid moments. Use your time on something better to do and not on this crap.

Oh man, this movie was so freakin bad it astounds me that all the people time and money it must have taken to make could have went to such better places. Like so many other reviewers - where to start in describing this craptacular? The sound in this movie was terrible, most people might overlook this becuz the acting, script and directing is so bad too. But the songs are WAY too loud, the dialouge too quiet, some of it obviouslt re-recorded in post production and atmosphere sounds were badly mixed too, sounded too loud and separate. This "film" has the be the best example of the WORST DELIVERY OF DIALOGUE EVER. The director did such a terrible job casting and using his actors, and the actors were astoundingly terrible - who the hell would ever act/say half the things the main female lead does? Oh, and then there's the ending - which has been done many times before, much better. The main female lead gave such a bad performance the final 'twsit' (which you can see a mile away becuz its been done so often now) is STUPID!

I love horror movies.... even cheesy ones.... This one was a gooey melting mass of moldy muenster. I really cant believe I wasted my time watching this thing. I should have known how horrible it was going to be by the first 15 minutes. The acting is horrible, the lines worse, and the plot non-existent. I kept hoping for it to redeem itself with a good twist or something freaky, but no such luck. Even the blood and gore factor was lacking. The sound track seemed like it was recorder with a pocket cassette recorder. If you have a choice between watching this movie, and getting your teeth cleaned at the dentist's, go for maintaining the pearly whites.

No Spoilers...

This is just another useless movie in the "teen massacre" category. There is absolutely NO plot. The story happens completely "bacause I say so"...there is no cause nor reason to the events in the movie; even the sad attempt to "suggest" an old trauma using some confused flashbacks is of no real use if you want to find a MEANING in this plot.

The characters are just the same old cliché-students "the Hot, the Slut and the Moron between" with a supporting cast of rich-but-punk friends. Oh...and a totally unrelated Spooky-Neighbor!

Not to mention that the "twist" of this story becomes quite obvious after the first 30 seconds of the movie...this "special" idea is being totally ABUSED in recent movies, so it doesn't sort any effect unless the movie is made with a bit of skill...which this movie is NOT :P

The only reason I watched through the whole film is because the girls are damn HOT...and there are LOTS of 'em! All this beautiful almost-25-years old girls pretending to be innocent seventeen students. Yummy. Yes...THAT is the only positive thing in the whole movie...oh, and the poster too! The poster picture is cool...too bad it is UNRELATED to the movie, save perhaps the last 15 seconds :P
