    6.7/10 with 316 votes? As if!

    Might be good if you are high on bath salts! There are adult films that have better acting, which is surprising as there are actually several good actors, all of who were having a bad day? Maybe it was meant to be a film of study - what not to do when making a film. Maybe the actors were blackmailed and forced to do this?

    Special effects, lighting, sound and filming was actual decent as far as bad movies go. Not even a B movie or remotely close to being a cult classic. Better luck next time!

    Sure it sucks! But what else do you have to do?

    Pretty sure this is supposed to be campy campiness of camp. not so special special effects, a villian spitting chewed scenery all over the place, and what the hell is up with the hookers terrible wig? At 300 bucks an hour, surely she could afford some decent extensions. I was looking forward to some greico goodness but hes only in the first 5 minutes, never to be seen again :( I did enjoy the actual artwork in the film, some really interesting macabre art type of things. And the plot is interesting, i dont think ive seen this exact concept before. However.... definitely needs some real actors, more believable dialogue and a budget. But, the original kills are worth a star or 2. If youre a loser like me and want something mindless and kind of entertaining while knitting sweaters for your cat, its worth a watch.

    Actually its bad but not that bad

    Ok so its a low budget horror so set your sights at the appropriate level and your review skills.

    Its actually a fun horror with a lot of humour and a very weird setup. Some of the creatures are actually quite unusual like the snails and the pig creature as well as the setting and many of the scenes are just bizarre which adds to the overall fun of it all.

    Yes its bad but actually it has some quite ingenious ideas and settings and I have to admit I found the art itself to be very interesting and unusual which gives it another star alone. The acting is ok and is in tune with the film which does not take itself too seriously; unfortunately some of the reviewers have taken this movie seriously as pure horror which it is not and its tongue in cheek style and over the top gore which is well done. Even the end credits show the writers have a sense of humour - I know once the film is over most people just get up and leave but I always stay with my bruvv to the very end and glad I did as the credits were as funny as the film with all 30 of the snails getting a credit as "speedy" and many others get wacky credits - see if you can spot em all - it almost gets an extra star for that but the overall fun of it all lets me give it a well deserved average 5/10.

    Night Gallery Episode Knockoff

    The writing is what spoils this film. The plot, character work and dialogue is extremely poor. The plot is too simple and is expected from the beginning. The characters are stagnant and have no growth. The dialogue is just poor. Writing is a 2.

    The acting is better than average and deserves a 6.5. Once again they were not given a lot to work with.

    The Director should have made dozens of script changes and failed to do so. I'd give him a 6.

    The Cinematography was a 6.5. My advice stop using just one main viewpoint.

    In the end it was ok.
    michaelbaynetech

    Agreed on the Night Gallery synopsis from before, and serious questions regarding the ratings system.

    Who knew Tara Reid and Richard Grieco had enough time to write their own reviews, using phony screen names?

    This movie is a complete and utter disaster and a even more complete waste of time.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The name of the artist of the evil paintings is Dorian Wilde. Of course, Oscar Wilde was the author of the 1891 novel The Picture of Dorian Gray in which a man sells his soul so only his portrait, not he, will age.
    • Goofs
      Outside of the Miracle Mile shops (at 40:21), as a man walks behind Kim and Donna, he points directly into the camera.
    • Quotes

      Kim Katlin: But they're just paintings.

      Father Gregory Mendale: No they're not, they're powerful, I've tracked these paintings for years. Every owner that has had them in his or her possession has disappeared, or worse. Dorian Wilde, Dylan Wilson, the names are not a coincidence. Douglas Winter slaughtered his entire family and committed suicide. These paintings, they corrupt the soul.
