Deadly Weekend

No pun intended - Ms Underwood (is that a pun/innuendo too?) looks really stunning. And she probably is best when it comes to "acting" in the movie too. Or I was blinded by her beauty - even so, that doesn't say much, because the others are not really "competition".

We get a film in a film thing in the beginning - and all the nudity you will get in the movie too. Whatever that is going to mean for and to you. Because while they all do look good (in hot pants or whatever else they are wearing), they act irrational/not good throughout (no pun intended).

The effects are quite good - if you care for those. And I reckon there is a sort of neat twist towards the end. Not sure that is a saving grace (and last pun to ... end scene)

This was actually shown in local cinemas with the very unconventional title of "Shocking Zellwood." Thinking it was probably a quirky horror film, I gave it a go. Big mistake.

At the very start, we see a dreamlike sex fantasy gone terribly awry, where an aroused fellow gets more than what he bargained for from the two buxom playmates who tied him to the bedposts. That unbearably squeamish first scene which surely got every guy in the theater looking away and holding on to their family jewels was arguably already the best scene. The film goes downhill from there.

Two young couples take off to an isolated countryside destination for a fun weekend of camping. What they thought to be a quiet and private holiday turns out to be a violent and bloody gore-fest beyond anybody's wildest nightmares.

The entire first half of the film was a lot of stupid sweet nothings from the two couples. That was a boring waste of time, except maybe for the visual presence of the sexy lead actresses, Sarah Jean Underwood and Patricia Rosales. But when the bizarre torture and killing scenes start, the stabbings, nailing, and cutting result in unnaturally gushing bloodbaths. People expecting some more eroticism as shown in the first scene will be disappointed.

I like horror films, but definitely NOT the gore sub-genre. The lousy hammy acting of everyone on screen made every thing worse than it was on paper. The revelation of who does the killings is not exactly brilliant, but at least the writer had a sense of crazy humor about it. Strictly only for gore fanatics.

How in Gods name do you have Sara Jane Underwood in this movie and you do not get her naked. Disgraceful. This was right before she let her self go to food. The director and writer are idiots. The movie was just written so poorly. I got to ask. Did Joe Biden and Hunter Biden write this movie?? Seriously that's how reee ttardd did it was. I gave this a 2 because the murdering children were the best part of this rotten clothing fest. I was hoping the daddy would give Sara Jane Underwood a Bath or a shower to give this clown show some sense of belonging. Would've been nice if During the axe scene Sara was nude. You blew it . Now nobody wants to see her nude.

Sometimes you just got to stop and actually pay heed to the reviews that you stumble upon here and there, and also to the low rating that a movie scores. But as taste and preference is a matter of personal opinion, you just got to take a chance every now and again.

"Deadly Weekend" was not worth the chance at all. This is really an unfathomably slow and dimwitted movie that requires absolutely nothing from the audience. Just unhook all mental capacity, then you are ready for this movie.

Oh, and you might want to brace yourself for about an hour and a half of absolutely nothing worthwhile. The storyline was forced and wooden, leaving no room for any surprises, twists or even unforeseen turn of events.

The acting in the movie, well, I have seen worse, but there is a mighty gap from what was portrayed in this movie up to something that was passable as mediocre.

As for the effects, well, then they worked out well enough, and those were basically everything that had any leverage in this movie. And there was a fair amount of blood and mayhem in the movie to peak some gorehound's interest. But it was hardly sufficient to carry the rest of the movie.

It was as if this movie was a remnant from a mid 1980's horror movie, where they piled together unused footage and ideas.

For a thriller / horror movie, then "Deadly Weekend" was a rather boring and uneventful addition to the history of cinema.

Just skip to 24.18.. The only enjoyable part of the movie. The two main villains were a good twist until no-one fought back against them.. which ruined it for me, could of easily been overpowered. Miss Underwood is easy on the eye to say the least... her other mate could also fill out a swimsuit.
