Sick Girl

I've seen some bad movies in my life but this one takes the cake. What a piece of garbage.

It's pretty sad when the best actors in a movie were a rat and a severed penis. At some points, it actually appeared they were reading their lines. You could walk in any walmart and randomly pick a better cast.

The acting wasn't the only short coming of this movie. The whole movie was relatively pointless and under developed. The best part was when it was over!

Do not waste your time watching it.

Okay, I definitely agree that this movie was sort of disturbing in nature, mainly due to the fact that most of the cast/victims were so young. However, the twisted mind of the main character was the only reason I was even able to finish this movie in the first place. I was intrigued to see just how far she would go with her sadistic behavior...and she did go pretty far.

That being said, I am giving this movie a low rating because I could not get over how terrible the acting was. Specifically the main character, played by Leslie Andrews. It made the movie so off-putting for me. It was like watching a non-confident 14 year old perform in their first play at school. I will never say that a movie is not worth my time, but I would not recommend this one.

Writer-director-producer Eben McGarr opens us up to the world of Izzy, where parents are dead, one brother is in the military and the other is just starting to grow up. What lengths would you go to in order to protect your family?

This film has been floating around film festivals and conventions for a while now... and I've had an interest, particularly after hearing about the cameo from Andy Signore ("The Janitor"). Now thanks to Synapse, we all have the chance to see it on DVD (though, for me, it helps to review films as a job).

The biggest criticism I can give of this film is the dreadful mixing on the sound. Much of the dialogue is too quiet and the sound effects and score are too loud. So, you end up not hearing what everyone says and getting blasted by the music. It's more than just a little frustrating. The plot is a bit convoluted at times, the CG is awful, and the acting is cheesy, but these negatives are forgivable.

What has gotten this film so much attention is the sheer nastiness in the violence. Kids forced to kill kids, sodomy, rape, dismemberment, suicide... not all of it is as gory as you might want, but much of it is more graphic and gory than you'd expect. I don't want to give away how extreme it gets, but let's just say if you want gore and violence, it gets more and more intense as the film goes along, and you will not be let down.

Get a copy of this from Synapse. Order it today. Do not hesitate. You could rent it, but seriously I think this might be one you want to keep on your shelf for just the right occasion.

Did Uwe Boll direct this? What a worthless piece of trash. The murder scenes were amateurish and predictable, and there is no story whatsoever. If it wasn't for the penis scene, I would of gave this a 1. It's hard to believe films like this even make it to script let alone DVD. I guess I can keep talking being I can't post this comment until I get 10 lines in. What else can I say? The Christina Ricci lookalike did a decent job of acting like a white trash psycho, but the writers and directer should be ashamed of this mess. Do they just let anybody direct nowadays? I have a 3 page script about the same subject that has a lot more potential than this entire film. If you're going make a revenge/slasher/gore kinda flick, either get some good fx guys or have a half-ass story.

Oh, Sick Girl. How sick you are. Ya got your kicks peeing on nuns, lopping off weiners, and kissing your brother. You actually sound like a pretty cool chick, it's such a shame you're monotone and you have a dumpy butt.

2007's Sick Girl, created by all around blowhard Eben Whatshisname, focuses on the small-town life of a girl named Izzy, who is forced to become head of her household when her brother ships off to the Marines. Things sour from there on out, and Izzy's already shaky disposition crumbles into a pile of constant premenstrual insanity. No one's safe anymore; not her flamboyant younger brother, nor their bike-riding bear of a neighbor. The blood flows, children die, and rats are fed and returned to the gay guy who did porn after being in Fright Night. You know the guy.

I'd like to say Sick Girl is a good time, but then again, I'd like to say I enjoy popping pimples along the under-carriage of my fanny. A little juicy, kinda painful, and totally unnecessary. This movie fails for a few reasons, namely its weak script and dodgy direction. If you enjoy drawn-out scenes of inept dialogue and really pointless scenes of gore, including a controversial moment where a severed member is forced onto a make-shift dildo, the less discriminating horror-hound may actually enjoy this sh!t show.

So throw on a wife-beater or two, break out the Christmas lights, and don't say I didn't warn ya. Sick Girl sucks.
