Stitches

Another surprisingly good effort from Full Moon Pictures and specifically director Neal Stevens and producer J.R. Bookwalter, who is the creator of the classic horror movie "The Dead Next Door."

Elizabeth Ince is very funny and scary as Mrs. Albright and newcomer Maggie Rose Fleck is very good as the mysterious Kathryn. It will be interesting to see what projects will come her way after this juicy role.

A good time all around.

I usually rent movies by Full Moon Productions,because their usually so bad their good.But,in this case it wasn't really cheesy and unintentionally funny.The story was a little bit dumb and a little bit typical of a demon movie.Never less an okay film for something for Universal,but for something like Full Moon its a master piece.The acting was a tiny bit flat,but hey I've seen ALOT worse in Full Moon movies.All in all I enjoyed it.

This is the last thing from Full Moon that I thought was worth a damn. Previously, "Vampire Journals" stood out,not so much because of its run-of-the-mill story, but for its beautiful location settings, photography and fine Gothic atmosphere. I also enjoyed the better entries in the Subspecies series. But "Stitches" surpasses them and is arguably the finest feature ever from Full Moon. An omnipresent atmosphere of lurking doom and dread hovers over the hapless characters like a dark storm cloud. Mrs. Albright is a truly sinister harbinger of evil who preys on people's weaknesses, exploits their inner longings, and strips away their surface vaneer of moral rectitude. Setting the story in some undefined point in the early 20th century, when people were more repressed, was a masterstroke. This is a taut psychological chiller, subtly crafted, and not for those in search of cheap thrills, gore, or manic action.

This really could have been a lot better. Instead, it turned out to be one boring as hell movie, with absolutely no thrilling moments at all in it. NONE!! Come on, at least TRY to scare us when billing a movie as a horror. Please!! I passed on watching "Godzilla vs. Mothra" to watch this. I should have watched Godzilla, at least there would have been some action!!

A charming old lady named Mrs.Albright guests at a New England Boarding House.She hides a dark secret,because beneath her stitched-on human skin lurks a demon from hell bent on capturing the souls of unsuspecting occupants and imprisoning them for all time in her hideous book of paper dolls.One by one,the residents receive Mrs.Albright's special attention and she is really effective at her job.Admittedly the premise of "Stitches" is quite good,unfortunately the performances are mostly mediocre and the special effects are lame.The lack of nudity is also disappointing.Still the film sustains a pretty creepy atmosphere and the script by frequent Full Moon scribe Benjamin Carr offers some surprises.Give it a look,just don't expect a masterpiece.6 out of 10.
