Heebie Jeebies

This movie was awful. Awful!! It had horrible acting, a terrible plot, bad characters, awful camera angles, bad filming, and no emotion! The character Tony was horrible and the worst actor ever!!!!!!!! Seriously! The plot and movie was pointless and I hated it!Me, me cousins Ashlee and Justin, and my sister Jennifer rented the movie cuz we wanted a horror flick. We thought it looked scary, so we rented it. Big mistake! We laughed twice. Two parts were hilarious! So rent it for that! Fast forward to those parts then turn it off. For good. it is terrible and stupid and it had dumb acting! Don't rent it because it is so dumb!! And you'll hate it! To the extreme!

No, this isn't the great American horror movie, nor will it scare the pants off of you. But it does have a certain charm. The joy in watching this movie is the fun of seeing a group of young people who obviously had no feature-length movie-making experience, and no budget, put their heads together and make the most of what they had to work with.

The plot is a confused mess and defies all logic, as any other review of this movie will correctly tell you, but it did do one thing that a lot of much bigger budget horror movies I've seen in the past few years failed to do - it entertained me.

The wrap-around plot is nonsensical, some craziness about a girl getting a bunch of high school friends together in the most unsafe, isolated place she can find, because she's had dreams about their deaths that she thinks will come true, and she wants to protect them - by tricking them into gathering in the most unsafe, isolated place she can find.

Then we are thrust into her dreams, shown as three vignettes that could really stand alone as short films, which has led to this movie, for better or worse, being tagged with the "anthology" label. The first dream is kind of lame. The second one, though it doesn't really fit in with the film, if pretty amusing. The third vignette, however, is sharp and creepy, and contains the best performances in the movie.

The overall quality of the acting is better than one would expect for a no-budget movie, and there are some real flashes of cleverness in the direction. With a higher budget, these guys could probably put together a pretty good movie.

If you take it's lack of a budget into account, and you go into the movie with the attitude that you're going to enjoy it for what it is rather than question it, you'll probably get some enjoyment out of it.

And it has a cool twist ending that I did not see coming at all.

If you need two directors (Doug Evans, Michael Hawkins-Burgos) to make a flick then I guessed it would been good. Well, it wasn't. And it shows, Doug stopped directing and Michael only did some shorts.

Most of the actors only did this flick, some went further just doing one more. I didn't had anything against the acting, it was mediocre but it was the script that was really boring. There are so many things going on without really understanding why we have all those stories. Then you have a burglar, then a killer, than a prank, then someone in a car not that kosher. It just didn't work out and you just can't get involved with the characters.

Naturally being a horror I watched closely to see how they did the effects. On that part some things were okay but most of the killings are off-camera. I won't say it's gory even as there are bodies torn apart and some scene's do have a lot of red stuff it just didn't work.

It's so strange that being in a abandoned house, alone with your friends and having a scarecrow the boogey man didn't show up. No Jeebie-Heebie for me here.

There really aren't words to describe how bad this movie is. And I like bad horror movies. I take a low IMDb score as a challenge, and quite often, they're really not all that bad. There are usually a few redeeming qualities, like cool camera angles, scene transitions, symbolic shots, or at least a hot chick.

It wasn't just that this movie makes no sense. Or that the dialog was idiotic. Or that the actors, director, editor, and writer have no business making movies. I can handle most of these things, if there's at least one interesting scene or bit of dialog. This movie had nothing. Even if you can overcome the hopeless concept (why is it safer to be at an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere with no power, phone, running water, etc?), the agonizingly long "dream sequences" take up over half the movie, and have surprisingly little to do with the plot.

I've seen some really bad horror movies, but this one just might top the list as the absolute worst ever. I can't imagine someone intentionally making this movie. It actually made me angry that someone could put such filth on film.

Cassandra (Bobbie Bo Westphal), a melancholy young woman, is frequently tormented by grisly premonitions over the violent deaths of her loved ones. By inviting all her intimate High School friends to an isolated farmhouse, she sincerely hopes it will keep them safe from harm. Sadly, their gruesome fates soon suggest otherwise! Including Heebie Jeebies sinisterly off-beat premise, likeable, natural performances, the genuine star of this unsettling, garotte taut indie horror is the thrillingly inventive screenplay. From the moment poor Cassandra arrives in this dilapidated property, you strongly sympathise with her increasing anguish as her companions are inventively slaughtered by a brutal, frustratingly unknowable maniac. An exciting, criminally undervalued low budget horror Bobby Dazzler, greatly overdue some splattery love, the well monikered Heebie Jeebies is, as Dan O'Bannon so rightly claims, a cut above the average identikill slasher.
