This home movie is basically scandalously rubbish, but you have to give them 3/10 for trying. The blood is rubbish, but the granny that kills them is quite funny, and I think the concept is good, and make-up is OK for a home movie. However thank god it was only 55 minutes long, and the twist at the end is quite literally Fight Club (as in almost as trash as the film). Just read this comment, don't watch the film.

Nothing can prepare you for how truly rubbish this film is. Rubbish actors, rubbish script, rubbish camerawork. But it is because of this that you simply must see it. From the way some actors make random noises instead that have to purpose, to the ending that seems to contradict everything in the film, this film is a work of terrible genius. My favourite scene? When the girl is repeatedly stabbed in the bathroom, and yet the knife remains somehow clean, and she is still standing after getting a good 30+ holes in the chest. Oh, and the blood looks like it's being squirted from a tomato sauce bottle. In fact, it probably is tomato sauce. Just watch the film and laugh. Laugh hard.

I watched this movie at a party, we were very puzzled by the ending, it ended rather poor. even though the entire movie isn't too amazing, i was expecting something slightly better. This movie is pure trash, but i suggest you watch it if you find cheap horror films with a weak script quite funny. Personally I loved the advert, it was my overall highlight, the fighting scenes were basic, a shot of a knife, some shadows in a window, fake blood. I must say the Granny costume was quite scary, This film is a mixture of kill joy, camp blood and boggy creek 2,except this film has slightly better camera wok and colour treatment compared with camp blood.

This film is truly execrable in all departments. Script, acting, plot, direction and editing are all uniformly awful. I give it 1 out of 10 simply because people turned up to make it. I would have given it 2 out of 10 if they had all stayed at home instead. Avoid at all costs!

This movie really sucked.....HARD! It was just stupid with a terrible ending. I love a really cheesy horror flick, but this was terrible! The "trick" ending totally contradicts everything you've seen in the movie, if you last til the end. Take my advice and steer clear of that dirty old hag The Granny.

Granny is definitely one of the worst horror movies ever made in the history of cinema.
The script was diabolical, so bad in fact that I was almost crying with laughter at some of the things they came out with. The acting was almost as bad, they would have been better off casting traffic cones to play the roles (they would have done a better job). The murders were laughable, the suspense was non existent, the camera work was ineffective and the "major" plot twist at the end was disgustingly inappropriate, it just gets worse and worse.
"The Granny" is possibly one of the most unthreatening "villains" caught on film, she looks like she is wearing a cheap mask from the supermarket (the nylon hair caused endless amounts of laughter) and a frilly nightgown. Would you be scared by that??? I certainly wasn't.
If you like watching bad movies (see Manos, Troll 2, Michael Bay films ) then this is a must see. Those who don't like bad movies and don't enjoy laughing at shockingly bad dialogue, avoid like the plague.

An object lesson in how to make a bad movie which masquerades as Horror. Without going in too close I would imagine this is the results of a bunch of film school students all adding bits to the story and then actually ACTING in it! Its like a film workshop of some kind and its a film badly in need of an editor-in which case it would have lasted 10 minutes! The director of this garbage probably had more money than sense. Consider the number of submitted scripts or even unreleased films which would have benefited from this. The so called Granny who was killing people in some pretty stupid ways looked like Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future-or maybe the musicians Johnny Winter/Edgar Winter. It starts off with 20 minutes of crass boring nonsense spouted out by the students-something about paranoia. Giving this rubbish 1 is because it can't get any less. It has not one single redeeming feature-and when one of the girls thinks the body on the floor covered in blood is the guy fooling about she has to actually TASTE the red stuff before she knows its not tomato ketchup! Its an insult to the intelligence of an idiot

NO WAY ! I hated Granny. First, she is way too tall -of course she is, it is Tom, whoever's brother, who's playing her- and I hate that thing she does when she brushes her fake silver hair back, but : there are funny parts in this movie. For instance, the fact that every single actor looks V.G. (very German), and also that they think that, even when left alone, they should pretend that that guy (Tom) is their actual "granny" or something. I specially liked -not- that moment where Charlotte leaves and starts walking to the nearest gas station to ask for some help. She suddenly finds herself in the middle of some woods (where were these before? nobody dares explaining) and turns, turns, turns a-r-oun-d like a ballerina, looking at the stars...and...ignoring the fact that GRANNY'S BEHIND HER, READY TO STRIKE !!! But, anyway, the music wasn't so bad, the haircuts were okay and the ending terribly provocative... Mmmmm... wish I had the German version.

Right, here we go, you have probably read in previous reviews on this film that it is awful, badly acted, avoid at all costs. Well i suppose in some ways this is true, it is fair to say that you couldn't write a spoiler in this comment as there is no plot to spoil. However, there is a fine line between plain awful and absolutely hilarious and believe me this film is the latter. The acting is so bad, the plot so non existent and the ending so completely baffling it will have you laughing the whole way through. There are scenes in this film that take comedy to a new level. Do not expect an Oscar winner but believe me for the small price you will pay for this disaster, it is worth every penny.

I've given this film a "6" so i thought I'd better justify that one before i get driven to the nearest mental unit. As a horror movie, this was awful. It was boring for at least 30 minutes then it was poorly-acted, poorly-directed, and the camera work was terrible. Even i can hold a camera straight. As a comedy, it's a work of cinematic genius. I've never laughed so hard in my life. This is what "Scary Movie" should have been (but wasn't). So I give it "6" for its unintentional comedy.

Oh my god, this movie is incredible, it's the baddest movie ever and I know what I am talking about! I am a scary movies fan!
The story is totally silly, a group of adults decide to make a party and a silly guy with an awful mask comes and kills everybody... the dialogs are a kind of parody, worst, they're just talking about sex with a so bad accent. The end is (oh!!!!!!) discover by yourself! you will be really really surprised... (not possible! yes it is!) and surprise the movie is just 58minutes. (not possible (bis) yes it is!) Worst than House IV and Howling V.
To put it in a nutshell, forget it forever!!!

A whole bunch of teenagers gather around to discuss their fears, but an uninvited guest has showed up and is killing everybody off.
Probably the worst horror film of the 90's, Camp Blood (1999) is the only film that could challenge it for that title, has some of the dumbest characters and situations to ever grace a television screen. The so called surprise ending is awful, as is the rest of this film. Mildly entertaining on a sooo bad it is good level. My rating: 2 out of 10.

This one features an interesting way of handling a camera,
espercially for a DTV movie - the version I saw was full-screen
around 20mn of talk, talk, talk in a would-be-hip, post-"Trainspotting" way, then it's slasher city. And then comes
the most dishonest cheat ending I've seen, much worse than
"April Fool's Day" - where at least it made sense. So, all in
all, it's the old song and dance : interesting director tries
hard, but deserves better movie. Funny : usually, it is the actors which are in desperate need of
something better Skip it anyway, for your time

Well it's not hard to find faults in this film, low budget and poor acting but it still works. It did hold my attention and I didn't once wonder how long left. This is the type of film you and your friends will enjoy poking holes at

O sure, they knew what they wanted to deliver. A nice slasher. But without a good script you doesn't have a flick. This is a perfect example. This clocks in at 55 minutes and the first 10 minutes it's all about talking. The friends are sitting together in a room and are comparing each other over their sex lives.
Once the story involves into granny things go wrong. But it's already too late. The first ten minutes destroyed this flick. You couldn't care about any person. When the killings start the first one was rather okay for a no budget. But from then on it becomes ridiculous. The stabbing of a girl has no red stuff flying around and the knife used is bloodless. What a mistake. Just before the girl is stabbed it again takes ages before she's ready making herself beautiful.
By having all killings off-camera and only seeing the result it degrades to a turkey. But clocking in under a hour makes it watchable. The plot was a good thought although seen it before in April Fool's Day (1986).
This is all so bad that it even becomes good,
Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

The only positive thing I could say about "Granny" is that it was mercifully short--at only an hour in length. This is because I have never seen a film with a bigger assortment of annoying characters in my life! In fact, they were so annoying and poorly written that I couldn't wait until someone showed up and started killing them as this would (mercifully) make them all shut up!!
The film begins with a group of friends getting together to act like jerks. The men were particularly annoying and mostly made sexist comments, though a few of the women were also annoying and crass. Eventually, the killing began but it took way too long!
This film is obviously a semi-professional sort of film. The acting is fair, the writing is abominable and it all looks like it was filmed with a home video camera--with sound that ranged from very good to almost unintelligible. The fact that writer/director/actor Boris Pavlovsky has no other credits before or since doesn't come as much of a surprise.

On seeing this movie, I didn't expect much. I was delightfully surprised. Although the writing was unpolished, as some of the dialog seemed drawn-out and contrived, the script did have shining moments. (My favorite line, "Life is like a rich meringue, an-and I'm diabetic, so I can't enjoy it...".) The plot was new and refreshing as opposed to some of the newer more "main-stream" horror that most of us are (sadly) growing used to. I do believe some of the scenes could (should) have been longer (and maybe some shorter). The superfluous use of blood was campy but seemed to make sense in the end....Ah, the end. The end would have been a little better if they had explained why what happened, happened. (I don't wanna spoil it.) It might have also added to the movie time, which is in the area of "it's only an hour long, how good could it be?" Answer- Quite good.

Granny is the type of film I want from the Tomb of Terrors box set. It's not in anyway good but it's short and to the point. Just a cheap dumb slasher movie with an annoying twist at the end. It's kind of fun before that with some decent bloody kills and a cool antagonist. Granny is obviously played by a dude in a mask and a wig. Since she's supposed to be a ghost or demon I could buy it that she got all buff in the afterlife. The film is about 58 minutes long and doesn't really get going until about the 24 minute mark. Most slasher films start out kind of slow so I don't mind but the first part isn't exactly exciting. Granny isn't great but I want more of this from my super cheap horrors in this box set- brief, straightforward, mostly derivative slashers and some monster films would be nice. There's no experimentation here or attempts at being inventive or annoying editing tricks with the only low point being the twist ending which I won't spoil.

Anyone who is annoyed by this film's quality should be ashamed. This is one of my favourite films ever! It has spawned many a catchphrase amongst my friends and it is a sure way to cheer me up.
This film is clearly rubbish. yes. but so terrible, it comes out the other side of bad into funny territory. The acting, the writing, the special effects, the camera work, the music, all hilariously awful. So bad, i still haven't figured out whether it was intentionally this bad, in a kind of spoof type thing.
Serious or not, when the makers of this film brought Granny into this world, they were doing a glorious thing!!
