Spare Parts

Spare Parts is a refreshing contribution to the horror film genre! He's not reinventing the genre, but it's a really well done piece of horror! Not cheap and the skills are well done too! Not bad.

Only slightly sub-par, but pretty gory. Definitely has a few little holes and story parts that don't quite make sense. I mean, weapon-arms are neat, but why risk infection and weakness by doing it? Unless it were to replace limbs lost in the arena, and then I'd totally understand.

I liked the score, and some of the deaths were B-movie gruesome. The ending did put a smile on my face.

However, what this really needed was to be a couple decades into a post-apocalypse, or in some lawless strife-ridden foreign country. This scale of kidnapping and killing in America didn't quite work for me without there being some much deeper conspiracy.

I came for the over the top violent combat, and Spare Parts was pretty good in that regard. If only every other part of the film wasn't a mess. It starts off strong, then quickly devolves into a heap of inconsistent/unbelievable characters, lame plot twists and kinda maybe revenge. Spare Parts is good for a few laughs and cringes at the sheer silly exaggeration of the film, but not much else.

I was kinda curious to watch this. Wasn't expecting too much as i knew it was a VOD low budget, and it turned out to be pretty much what i expected it to be. There is some entertainement in there, but it could had been lot better.

The concept of limb removal do not really make much sense as no one could be fighting right after that and how come a bunch of hillbillies end up having the medical competence to do this? I guess its one of those thing you need to suspend your disbelief and not care, wich is what i did.

Once around that how's the movie itself? Its alright... Fights could had been better but were not terrible either and some characters decisions/plot points didn't made sense, but i found some entertainement in it. I wasn't bored. But i did roll my eyes a few times at the nonsense so i can't really give it more than the half point mark of a 5.

Fight Club was volantary .. this isn't really that kind of deal. I've seen another movie where women where held prisoners and had to fight each other. They tweaked the concept here a bit, with a location and the ... extra parts it had free of charge if you want to call it that (no pun intended).

There will be people who will absolutely love this for the independent and low budget effort that it is. I couldn't really find too many things that would save this. I would not judge the people involved too much - either acting or whatever other department they did. Got to say though, the movie and the lighting of it all, look amazing. So maybe judge that. On the other hand, many are good in these departments nowadays and maybe you won't even care, because you don't get much out of the characters.

Kicking ... behinds from time to time, the action is important and it is done rather well ... but nothing to get too excited about either, considering other stuff I've seen. But considering the budget and time at hand, you might want to give it a break ... up to you it is.
