FrightWorld

A group of young adults visit the world-renowned Frightworld in preparation for the grand re-opening, but the ghost of a magical serial killer still roams the corridors of this haunted house waiting to pick them off one by one.

Well it started off with an appealing atmospheric style but sadly morphed into a rather generic, relatively bloodless slasher. (There are moments of gore but for the most part it's relegated to the beginning and ending) its a shame as if the film could've fully capitalized on the promise of the beginning we would've had a pretty memorable film on our hands.

Eye Candy: Kamilla Kova and Crystal Gonzales both get topless

The movie dragged on a bit at the end and the editing wasn't great but I would say this was better than expected. Tongue in cheek horror, pretty girls, blood, guts and love scenes aplenty this was good entertainment. Nobody goes to see this movie expecting it to be Oscar worthy but if you know you're going to see a low budget horror that doesn't take itself too seriously then you will really enjoy it.

The acting wasn't superb but considering a number of the cast aren't actually actors or actresses (there is a model in there, a singer and a rapper)I think they did a damn good job. I like the story line of the serial killer Verden Fells and his strange relationship with Kat and how he tortures her mind. There are several interesting and very well done death scenes. I never thought I would say this but I hope there is a sequel!

With the exception of the sound none of the above are really criticisms for this type of no budget, (truly) independent horror film. Make up effects and gore are very good and the lead actor was effective, the lead actress although attractive needs some coaching as she was particularly poor.

The major problem with Frightworld is it's length, at 108 minutes its half an hour too long to be effective as a slasher movie, plot wise only about ten minute of the first fifty are relevant.

In places it is visually engaging and sometimes the lack of lighting works in the films favour. However when this is combined with the poor sound as is the case with most of the film large sections are difficult to watch.

This could certainly be an entertaining if unoriginal "serial killer back from the dead" movie with some judicious and ruthless editing, in its current form it plays like an unfinished rough cut.

This is a valiant effort that falls flat. The film is about 30 minutes too long as the pacing is horrible and the dialogue goes on FOREVER! The acting is about what you would expect for a Brain Damage film with a less than $10,000 budget. Not Bill Zebub bad, but nothing good either. The sound, oh my goodness, the sound... well I don't have much to say about the sound, since I couldn't actually hear the majority of the movie. The director obviously doesn't know that if you can only afford to pay one person, pay the sound person the majority of the movie the dialogue sounds distant and echos. When music is playing at the same time as the dialogue, the music is much louder than the dialogue, making it nearly impossible to hear! The lighting leaves a lot to be desired, mostly it's just red light. The gore is actually quite good for the budget.

The movie is really just a 100+ minute commercial for the Frightworld Screampark with splashes of gore, sex scenes, and girls wearing nothing but thongs.

This is certainly not the worst movie I've ever seen, but far from the best

Let me start by saying, if you have epilepsy, classic migraines or live in an apartment with thin walls and rules on noise, just pass this one by. Too many flashing lights and quick scene changes. Also, the dialogue is muddy and low and the music will blast you out of your chair. (Or off the couch. Or whatever.) The acting is ok, but everyone is wasted here. It takes nearly an hour to get going. While I liked the use of contrast, it made some scenes so dark it was hard to see what was going on. This movie looks and feels like it's trying to reclaim the downtown art scene of the 1980s. It doesn't do a good job. They should have done straight up horror. Take the advice of the one song that plays at the end. "STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!"
