Cynthia

Stumbling upon the 2018 horror comedy "Cynthia" by sheer random chance here in 2025, and never having heard about it, of course I had to check it out. I am a big fan of all things horror, after all. And without knowing what I was in for, I guess directors Devon Downs and Kenny Gage had every opportunity to entertain me.

The movie starts out a bit slow, I will say, but stick with it, because the narrative definitely kicks into a proper gear once the birthing is happening. Writer Robert Rhine put together a strange and bizarre story, for sure, but there was something oddly entertaining about it.

The cast ensemble in the movie is quite good, and there are some great performers on the cast list, with the likes of Scout Taylor-Compton, Bill Moseley, Sid Haig, James Karen and Lynn Lowry. Needless to say that the acting performances in the movie were good.

The special effects in the movie were good, and definitely added some fun and enjoyment to the overall impression of the movie.

If you enjoyed movies such as the "Basketcase" trilogy, then you will definitely also enjoy this movie.

My rating of "Cynthia" lands on a five out of ten stars.

When I found out that Corpsy (Robert Rhine) was making a horror film, I was excited. Cynthia is pretty much everything I was expecting, and then some. It was funny, it was gory, it was disgusting, it was awesome. And then there's Cynthia. What a sweet baby. Lol. As another reviewer said, pregnant women should not watch this movie. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is Bill Moseley's. OMG. When you see it, you'll know what I'm talking about. It was great to see him, Sid Haig and James Karen.

This was GREAT fun... expected nothing but got an entertaining 90 mins! Storyline is ridiculous, script was tongue in cheek... We were both rooting for Cynthia... totally funny, totally camp and utterly crap... highly recommend...

A tongue in cheek horror starring Scout Taylor Compton. When Sid Haig is in it you know it's going to be crazy. Some of the editing and directing is bad and the (actual) porn stars' moment is pointless but overall an ok film.

Cynthia was a pleasant surprise in a current trend of horror movies wanting to recreate Stranger Things era scenes,Along comes Cynthia who is a breath of fresh air! Based in modern day Cynthia creates suspense and comedy all rolled into one fantastic film.The film keeps you guessing for a bit about what Cynthia will look like but when you finally meet her you are hard pressed not to look at her as a villian character but instead fall for her and feel emotion for her misunderstood life she was given.I wish we had a few more scenes with Cynthia I can always hope for part 2 for more involvement with horrors new poster girl !
