SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Thaneevuth Jankrajang I always have faith in English films. English storytellers tend to be more serene and less anxious than the Americans. Their jokes are usually more subtle, effective, and quite long-lasting. Same as their scare tactics in horror films. Their so-called Grade B films show different classes of the society rather than different qualities. However, this film is an exception. It starts promisingly enough, then gets watered down steadily towards the meaningless ending. You could have seen the film in reverse in the Benjamin Button style and you would get a fine film. Investment in the character, earlier in the film, gets wasted. Nightmares and psychological episodes of Sophie get forgotten for the most part. Little flashbacks here and there do not help. We have seen several examples of good scary low-cost films. Today film-making equipments are of lower price, and filmmakers' skills are not tied with the money. I can watch John Carpenter's Halloween or George Miller's old version of Mad Max several times, and still have no clue what made them so good and so long-lasting, with such a low cost in a time of high-cost filmmaking. People behind this film should play less games, watch less choppy presentations, and return to the classics. It is all there to learn. I realize that there are a lot of people out there who care for moneymaking over filmmaking. But if you can achieve both, why not? Humankind should crave for betterment.

Michael 'Hallows Eve' Smillie This movie starts off okay but then it turns in to a horror movie cliché. I have to admit there are some good parts in this film, but they do not save this film from becoming average and meaningless. Yes the story wasn't too bad but the director failed to deliver what could've been a pretty good film. The acting wasn't bad but in saying that it wasn't good. The characters didn't make me want to care for them either way, in fact I didn't care if they lived or died. As for the 'beast', well it wasn't what you would expect, almost a let down, although not too predictable. The movie wasn't a complete failure but it wasn't, for me, a success. So in saying that I give it a 4 out of 10. Have seen worse.

kosmasp You know it's one thing to make people believe one thing and then reveal to them that it might be something completely different. Or is it? But anyway, this movie tries to be clever in many respects par the dialogue and character development. It's all been said and done before and one twist or another do not change the fact, that it is poorly realized.Of course, this is low budget, so I'm not gonna talk about the effects (that seem decent enough for a movie like this), but it still could have done with a few rewrites. If you haven't watched Teenagers in peril movies, you might find something here for you, but there are so many other (good) movies out there, that you could be watching instead. I hope the filmmakers can come up with a better one, next time around.

Scarecrow-88 Sophie(Holly Weston)is interested in the strange and unusual, her mother's alcoholism and absent father contributing to her morbid curiosities. Sophie wants to see if a legendary "beast of Bodmin " exists and gets her best friend, Jane(Sadie Pickering)to round up some of her friends to go find it, camping out in the woods where it was reputed to have attacked a man and ate his sheep. Tagging along are Jane's boyfriend, Sam(Sacha Dhawan), Sam's pal, Gavin(Stephen Walters), and Jane's brother, Dean(Jonathan Readwin). What none of them know is that an escaped lunatic(Stephen Walters)is lurking about, making his residence an abandoned Catholic children's home, St Joseph's. This troubled young man believes he must protect Sophie(she represents the Virgin Mary, pure and undefiled) from a creature(his own brother, pretty much a human animal)and this herein lies the suspense of the plot..how the hell will Sophie escape from the confines of a cell which is latched from the outside(this detail might just explain why the maniac is so disturbed, his terrifying upbringing in a children's home thanks to a sadistic priest). Is the one imprisoning her actually the person she should be afraid of? A Father Thomas(Colin Tierney)is trying to find Gavin because of his mentor's murder.Murky horror picture following a savage whose cannibalistic ways derived from being kept in a cage with the dogs. Kids out in the woods running across a human beast who tears into them with ferocity. Sophie is connected to Gavin and his brother Vincent, a certain murder which has remained with her, this the cause of those night terrors which awaken her in a cold sweat. The film follows the color palate of the SAW films, shot in dirty brown and green, giving off a dreary, bleak look..quite dark even during the day. The violence is carefully hidden until we see the neck wounds resulting from Vincent's uncontrollable insatiable appetite for human flesh. Gavin isn't exactly held together well mentally, but his motives are sound..he just wants to keep Sophie safe and understands that his brother is a fiend, not responsible for his actions due to a priest's neglect. A great deal of time is spent in the dilapidated Catholic orphanage at night which is why you who decide to watch it may be squinting a lot trying to isolate details which are hard to visualize. Like in other movies, human monsters can take an exorbitant amount of punishment and continue after victims..a hatchet to the ribs, just a scratch, shovel shots to the body and head, easy to recover from. Vincent can even be hit by a car, enter the trunk while the vehicle is moving.
