No script? Terrible idea!!
Dave_douell23 August 2018
Their conversation was so awkward, nobody knew what to say. A couple of characters pretty much carried the rest of them, actually more of a drag than a carry. Too many awkward silences so they would just look at each other and squirm. When a couple of them couldn't think of anything else, they would get up and walk out or move around the room aimlessly. It was really embarrassing to watch. If the girls weren't half way cute, nobody would make it through the whole film. The teasing promise of more boobs after the scene in the first five minutes. But no, just a waste of time after the first boob shot.

Don't...Simply Put, Don't

A bunch of people, as we know from the synopsis are poisoned and mull about waiting to die...and do so. Oscar Wilde received complaints from critics that in the first act of his play Lady Windermere's Fan "nothing happened." In response in his next play (A Woman of No Importance") he made sure that absolutely nothing happened at all: the players simply sit around talking the usual witty Wilde dialogue. However, because Wilde was a literary genius, the play is both worthwhile reading and watching, while this has only - as one reviewer pointed out - Jessica Messenger's "boobs" to recommend it. Surely you have something better to do... I have the television on when I'm writing because the distraction helps me concentrate; in this case I looked up occasionally then when the flick was over, fast forwarded through it (Thanks Tubi TV) to help those of you who may be fans of such limited entertainment as seeing Ms. Messenger display her limited assets, said visuals may be found at approximately the following minute marks: 2; 47; 67; 75.

AT LEAST,Let Them Eat Cake...

a Philip Gardiner flick. So,We have a birthday party for a priest whose a friend ,Or a friend who happens to be a priest. There is crazy presents and games and moments where we hope people are,Just alittle too drunk. Then a mysterious birthday card is read and it says all at the party have been poisoned and must look for clues to the antidote

Philip Gardiner besides playing a character who is videotaping party goings on,Let his cast ad-lib ENTIRE script to reach a conclusion only he knew..

Philip can do great things like Darkwatchers & Cam Girl and then do the lurid,almost Giallo-like stuff like ONE HOUR. The film is entertaining and surprising and has some very good nudes to boot.

BUT YOU DIDN'T EAT ANY CAKE.

Warning: Spoilers
A group of young adults throw a surprise birthday party for Father O-Brian (Robert Knowles). They play teen games such as "truth or dare" during which Jessica (Jessica Messenger) gets a little slutty to the dismay of her sister Michelle, the host (Melanie Denholme). While Father reads his birthday cards, he discovers that they all ate poison cake and have an hour to find the antidote.

The film was shot in one day without a script. The actors ad-lib their parts and considering how bad some of the written dialogue can sometimes be in these low budget films, it wasn't a bad idea. An interesting movie experiment.

Parental Guide: Nudity (Jessica Messenger, Melanie Denholme, Anna Batho)
