When Sharp Pokey Things Attack !

[guestar57 · 6/10 · 2 November 2011]

A little boy has a traumatic event happen to his parents (Nooo,Not HARRY POTTER),More like Michael Myers sister in Classic Halloween movie.

Why years later his Ghost ? Doppelganger ? or Copycat is wearing a welders helmet and Leather apron to off people boggles me.

Forgot title detail the parents were killed with a crow bar,Get it,And now whoever moves into their family home is offed with a crow bar.

The suspense,Like mentioned is very classic in theme and rare these days.

There are some truly scary moments and bits of acting from Michael Ray Clark.

I wonder if Harbor Freight Tools knows how some of there products are used ,In none standard ways ?

It Could Have Been Worse

Please Bare With Me For A Moment ... For A Movie That Takes Place In A Small Town There Are (I Think) Less Than 10 People In The Town, No Shoppers, People Parking A Car, Pedestrians, Etc ... The Only People In The Town Are Part Of The Story ... The Acting Is Horrendous, Form The Dialog To The Silly Expressions On Their Faces ... A Few Moments Where The Pace Of The Movie Drops To A Crawl ... But The Story Was Not Bad At All, The Intrigue Was Written Well Into The Story ... Enough Happens Through Out The Story That Made Me Think "Wait How Can That Be" ... It Kept Me Watching To See What Happened Next ... The Movie Even Managed To Surprise Me At The End With The "Knight" Who Saves The Damsel ... Yes Everything About This Movie Could Have Been A Thousand Times Better But For A Low Budget, No Name Or Experienced Actors And In All Likelihood A Writers First Time Out, It Could Have Been Much Much Worse ...

Wendall (Kevin Phillips/ Kevin George) witnesses the killings of both his parents on the eve of their leaving town. The killer used a crowbar and wore a welder's mask. A decade later Alex (Michael Ray Clark) and Ronnie (Natasha Timpani) move into said house and the killings start all over again. The town and neighbors are overly apathetic to the situation.

The opening credits was tough to sit through with an annoying sound track. The photo of the dead/barren tree makes it way from the opening credit to throughout the film. Most likely a symbol of the barren Aunt who is introduced late. The film had a couple of good characters, neighbor Nancy (Elizabeth Schrey) being one of them.

Overall the plot was one we have seen too many times. They tried too hard to create good support characters, they failed to create decent main characters. The killer is apparently dragging around a smoke machine as they over did that effect.

Written and directed by Scott Phillips who was a Russian soldier extra in the original "Red Dawn."

An index of references to other movies, e.g. SUSPIRIA...

[keith-712-383468 · 2/10 · 30 March 2015]

As a visual index of other horror movies, this works. References and entry terms are many and range from "Bava, Mario" to Texas CHAINSAW MASSACRE with DON'T LOOK NOW, "Fulci, Lucio," SUSPIRIA, et al., in between and around. This in no way reflects on the "quality" of the film generally described.

I would suggest reviewing the closing music credits' for references to 4AD, THE BEYOND (...E tu vivrai nel terrore! L'aldilà), 'Choral music,' "Dead Can Dance," "Scriabin, Alexander," et al.

Domains of "marketing" and "branding" or "trademarking" are suggested but, at this time, fall outside the scope of this "review."
