Anarchy Parlor

This film is about a shady tattoo parlor you don't want to visit.

This isn't a top notch film but you kinda know that going into it. I'm gonna review it as such. I've seen better but this film is not as bad as some are making it out to be. I think the biggest problem is that it is lacking depth.

The character builds aren't that great. They fall short on really making you invest in the characters. You want to feel concerned for their well being and this don't get the job done. The story should have been played up a bit more. Understanding the "whys" is a big thing for me and I wasn't satisfied. I also wanted to see more evolution in the ending and we were only given a taste of that.

One of the good things about this are that it has the blood and gore that you want from horror. It is also well filmed by that I mean that it has decent quality for a low budget film. I also thought the pace of it was on point.

I liked it but I am willing to give credit where it is due. For a B movie this deserves more credit than it has been given. Don't be horror snobs. You may find that there is a lot of decent low budget films out there if you can stop holding them to such high standards. I'm sure there will be disagree with my review but watch it and judge it for yourself.

Alright, I have to chime in here, seen this film 3 times and every time I find out something new about the story. Not sure if that's just myself feeling smart or if it was the filmmakers intent. Never the less this was probably my favorite horror film in the last 5 years. This one came out of left field in the sea of slow-burn crap that has been poising the horror waters as of late. The film was super fast, exciting and gory but had substance as the Artist played by Robert Lasardo really delivered. This dude is super creepy but yet endearing, call me messed up but I found myself cheering for him to succeed in his quest! The Artist had this calmness about him that makes you uncomfortable, and I mean that in a good way, I was effected by his performance. No spoilers from me do to IMDb's stupid policy. Anyways big fan of this film, super hot chicks, all of them! I was in awe of Joey Fisher, holy crap she is hot! PLEASE do a sequel and put her in it! It's rare to see such natural busty beauty in the Ent biz today, and to top it off she can act! Anyways to wrap this up, the film was a smart, gory fun ride from begging to end. If you want something fresh, crazy and against the norm, check it out. Highly recommended!

A very simple 'lure tourists into a dodgy place in order to do despicable things to them' type of horror.

Overall the acting is poor but Robert LaSado is the saving grace here (you might not recognise his name but you've most likely recognise his face).

I mean he can't make you care for the other characters fate of course (being that most of them are such poor actors and very duchy you kind of feel like they deserve to die... in the movie that is) and it doesn't ever really get scary for the same reason (and plot and directing etc of course as well) but Robert LaSado is an effective bad guy and with any lesser actor this could have flunked completely.

But the Gothic atmosphere is pretty cool as well, and plenty of eye-candy (the women most likely got their roles for their willingness to appear nude more than their acting-abilities... but then they are no worse than the other guys).

So yeah definitely nothing you need to see but nothing you have to absolutely avoid either, if it's on TV one late night or so.

This is What i have to say about this movie, interesting premise and painful acting. Its trying to make a cross between saw and hostel but the result ends up a mess there Is nothing that stands out besides some gory scenes and a bunch of cliché characters its a very generic.

The only actor that's stands out Is Robert Lasardo if you seen a lot of 90s action movies you probably stumble with him as a henchmen he Is that guy full of tattoos with one liners( a discount Danny Trejo if you will)i have to admit this guy can actually act and his passion for tattoos can be shown this role was meant for him and he nailed it.

Honestly don't waist your time even if Lasardo Is good in this, its probably the only good thing in it.

This film had quite a lot going for it. Essentially the same plot as Hostel but with much more believable gore. It also benefits from a quite unnerving main character, excellently portrayed by the actor.

Sadly, the writer and director clearly didn't believe enough in their own movie as they felt it required one fairly graphic sex scene and many scenes set in a strip club that were completely pointless and added nothing to the film.

There are no major plot twists that you can't see coming but it's all put together pretty well. It's just a shame the writer/director didn't have as much conviction in what they were doing as the SFX people, who really did do some top notch work on the gore.
