Natural Demise

This review is for the new edition of this film, rereleased this year with a new audio track ...wildly transformed, much in the way how Mystery Science Theater 3000 has transformed older films with a new audio track. For those not familiar with MST3K, while watching these old movies, they would sometimes improvise new lines that the characters could be saying, providing new perspective to the movie (and with some hilarious results, I might add).

With this movie, all-new lines have been added ...although not exactly intended to be funny like MST3K, but definitely providing a fresh new perspective on the characters and the plot.

I watched with my mom and brother, both entertained. While my mom generally prefers true crime stories, the initial premise of this movie was believable enough to be intriguing and chilling: When people rent out rooms in their house, or a guesthouse, how well can we really trust ...bringing a complete stranger into our home, into our daily life? That stranger could turn out to be a total creep -- a straight up serial killer -- for all we know.

Admittedly, this movie could use a bigger budget ...for better special effects, and to show more of the main villain's technical prowess (he's a computer genius, a mad scientist in the vein of Victor Frankenstein, so it would be cool to see more of his scientific inventions). But overall, the film has the charm of an old school slasher: Some bloody, gruesome scenes. Unsettling flashbacks from the villain's childhood (he is a tormented dude, after all). And the banter between characters is light, and busy enough, to keep us entertained. And, of course, the all-new voiceovers tend to bring a greater, more layered depth to the story.

Because people aren't perfect, Jesse Lincoln takes matters into his own hands by using his abilities and demon, but perfectionist behavior, to carve and butcher and then wire his victims back together.

Jesse designs a computer chip in which he inserts one into his victim's head and another into their lower back. He wants each of them programmed exactly how he wants them to be, perfect. Jesse wants to create his perfect family.

While on vacation, the girls meet a group of criminals who are working on the farm to serve their sentence by doing community service.

These lonely gals and tired guys eventually cross paths and mingle, but for the most part trying to save each other from the perfectionist psycho, Jesse Lincoln.

this is loosely the plot but it takes all your muster to figure that out. The movie is horrible. Absolutely rambling with no purpose and horrible.
