Remster

After watching the first five minutes of this movie, I already knew I'd better turn it off and do something worthwhile with my time, but nooooo, I had to be stubborn and sit through it only finding myself wasting another ninety minutes of my life.

Even though the premise sounds good (genetic experiments gone wrong created vicious hillbilly human/pig hybrids that want to kill people with a hatchet or first have sex with the more attractive female species), the movie is a complete and utter, boring, amateur mess.

There really isn't anything good I can say about it, the plot is dull, completely illogical and predictable, the acting is among the worst I've seen in quite some time, - and I've seen my share of bad movies - especially the persistently hyperventilating Valerie gets on your nerves really quickly, irony wants it she's in the movie until the end, so there you have it.

If I would call this a "really bad Texas Chainsaw Massacre" rip-off, some people would want to see it anyway, because there's some supposed resemblance with that movie. But believe me, it's not worth your time.

Avoid at all costs.

A Spanish friend recommended this movie, so we decided to watch it. And it was great! I really didn't expect the musical-elements, they reminded me of 8 Femmes, and most of them were really funny. Especially Ernesto Alterio's song (the first) and Guillermo Toledo's version of ¡Salta! by Seguridad Social made us laugh outloud! My favourite part was the theatre-scene, where Guillermo Toledo unwillingly has a part, with a paper melon prop on his head, exclaiming "¡Soy el hijo melón, soy el hijo melón!" Hilarious! Guillermo Toledo's part is great by the way, he made me laugh lots of times with the situations he got himself into.

About halfway through the pace slows down a bit, making some scenes unnecessarily boring and maybe even redundant, but that's just a minor thing, all in all this movie is a must-see! There's one thing that Spanish and Dutch movies seem to have in common, most of the time they show nudity during the first ten minutes of the movie, so does El Otra Lado De La Cama. Not that I mind, though ;)

9/10

After seeing the third movie, which was abominable, I didn't think it could get much worse with the fourth (and hopefully last) movie in the Wishmaster series. Unfortunately I was wrong, not only was it bad this time, but it was boring as hell too! As someone stated before, the abundant (and redundant) use of nudity (well, for American standards anyway) seems to try and cover up how bad this movie really is. I found it to be more enjoyable to read some of the other comments about this movie. The comments from the person who actually thinks there's a deeper meaning to this movie and was happily surprised to see the 'softer' side of the Djinn really made my day.

If you enjoy watching a plethora of fake fire effects, this is your movie, if not, don't even bother.
