Brutal

(2007) Brutal HORROR

Co-produced, written and directed by Ethan Wiley directing another conventional straight-to-rental serial killer film occurring on a very small town that holds two deputies on it's district, and the murders which has something to do with flowers being planted on it's victims with their hearts taken out. When at the same time Jeffrey Combs as Sheriff Jimmy tries to make attempts to devoid the situation altogether, since he's trying to elect himself to a bigger and better position as D. A.!

Low budget and unique with obvious acting and budget problems, but it's nice to see well known baddie and bald actor, Michael Berryman, who stands out the most of the lunatic characters in Wes Craven's original of "The Hills Have Eyes" playing a good guy role "once" in awhile as he plays Leroy whose autistic, and who manages dogs for missing people!

This is a real stinker.

For some reason I thought this was actually going to be a real movie. It was within the top 30 pre-leases on Amazon for the week it came out AND it starred one of my all time favorite actors- Jeffrey Coombs.

I had hopes. Hopes that were dashed against a stone within the first five minutes. Jeffrey and the villain had marginally believable characters, but just about everyone else made Denise Richards look like Laurence Oliver. They were just horrible. And not very pretty either. It wasn't like they sacrificed acting ability for looks. I've seen a LOT of bad acting- community theater, Troma movies, high school productions. This ranks below just about all of it.

Like the other reviewer stated, this is definitely an F movie.

The story is a joke as well, although you're so busy being amazed by how bad the acting is, it's hard to scrutinize the plot that closely.

On a happier note, this movie helped me to realize how good most of the stuff I watch is. After this, I'm much more appreciative of actors and their craft. Most actors, that is. Definitely not these.

As far as my fondness for Jeffrey Coombs goes... it's still pretty far up there, but not quite as high as it was.

OK so I have seen 'B' before, well I would class this as an 'F' movie. I have never seen a movie this bad, it was like a school kids first try at a film project. The acting was nasty, I cant even tell you how bad the camera work was... If you have nothing else to watch, and this is at the video store, well... Go home and have a nap, you dreams will be better quality. I rated it a 1, there was no 0!!! Basical it an attempt at a thriller mystery, but I have never see a movie that lets you know who the killer is throughout the whole move. I gory scenes a poorly done, you could do a better job at home with a bottle of Hinze and a plastic knife. I honesty wonder how movies like this actually make it to DVD.

I cant say that this movie is "good". its not. But i have a good moment watching it, its fast paced and a good no-brainier horror thriller. So it deserves a 6/10. The concept of suspension of disbelief its taking to a new level here, almost everything the characters made is ridiculous. The acting is not bad, the lead chick is hot, not in a bimbo kind of way, more in a "i want to marry her" way... and you have Berryman and Jeffrey Combs for the same price. This would be much better with more blood, gore and nudity, its too "PG 13" for a DTDVD flick, this could be a minor classic if done by ittembach or Timo Rose, but its not that bad for a Saturday afternoon.. Ultra-tippergore ranking 6/10 (generous)

well it ain't bad but ain't that good either - not a film i'm going to watch again thats for sure. if was expecting more of it since i heard that it should be quite good but naaa, think there's to many bad actress in this film, and it starts out showing who the " bad " guy is.the story isn't well told , after my opinion it jumps of the story if you know what i mean ....the basic story could be a very well movie, but i don't think the director has put it correctly together, it seems like he just wanted to make a movie fast and then get the money and then split out of business. it needs some that makes you bit you're nails of pure exiting , but in my case he didn't manage to do that. i don't see this film for a horror , but more like a horrorfest movie .....or u know a first timer
