Deadly Weekend

This is the worst film (as far as acting is concerned) that I have ever seen I'm my entire long life. The only beautiful thing in this film must be the 2 main actresses. If you are a hot blooded man or a lesbian then you will probably tolerate this crappy badly acted terribly directed film. It is an insult to peoples intelligence to say the least. The worst actresses in the whole entire world are the two young ones. They should never be allowed in front of a camera ever again. In fact if I ever see them in any other movie I will switch off immediately. Please people avoid this like the plague except if you want to see the playboy centrefold girl from playboy not so naked in this hideous movie.

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.

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)

Anyone who has a passing interest in horror B-movies will watched at least one (or two hundred) films where the basis premise is... bunch of teens find themselves off the beaten path and get stalked by... and it's at this point you can insert your chosen monster and/or serial killer into the proceedings. So, as per that logic, two couples here decide to go on a weekend away in the American countryside.

They're your typical horror stars, i.e. Young, good looking and always run back into the house whenever they're supposed to be running away from it.

And they bicker. Okay, they're technically friends and the script keeps telling us how much they like each other and how long they've been friends, but they seem to get at each other more than any group of mates I've hung around with. The leading man is especially paranoid about his girlfriend seeing other guys - hardly a sympathetic trait for a primary antagonist.

And they bicker. I only mention this again because the film is about ninety minutes and I was still at the halfway mark where absolutely nothing that could define this as a 'horror' film had actually happened yet. It was all coming across as a romantic drama. In fact, I even tried a little experiment as I lay on my sofa and closed my eyes (as it was Boxing Day and I was a bit tired!). I just listened to them talk for a while and never really missed anything relevant because of it.

It's only in the last (just under) half where the 'threat' comes into play. I won't spoil who or what it is, but either way the blood and guts eventually start to flow. There's not that much in the way of gore to write home about and, when the cast members start - shall we say 'decreasing' in number - they start doing that thing where they make every dumb horror movie decision you've even rolled your eyes at.

I guess if I had to go for a negative then I'd say that the leading lady is quite attractive, but that's about it - and it's probably only really a draw for the male audience. If you really want to watch this 'horror' film just start it at about 45 minutes in, otherwise I'm sure you'll find better.

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.
