Cut

The idea of a film crew being butchered while shooting a horror film has been done before (in the obscure 1986 flick "Return To Horror High", and probably some other time even before that). The idea of teens making "hip" references to other horror films of the past has been done before (in "Scream"). And so on...Yet, "Cut" is overall an entertaining movie, and if you don't pay more than a dollar to see it, you'll get your money's worth. In the first 20 minutes in particular the filmmakers seem to be onto something different, but then the movie gets increasingly derivative. Still, the special effects are good and Molly Ringwald is perfectly cast as the washed-up ex-B-movie queen. (**1/2)

Another slasher where the victims put up no fight and the antagonist's supernatural nature isn't made apparent until the very end of the movie.

The main problem I have with Cut is the weak scripting of the characters. It's like everyone on set are all just passing time waiting for the pay check to come in, its so bad.

Music and tempo is actually the movies strong point especially the lighting. The whole set looks and feels great but everything else just falls apart. The script made all the actors look like dills. They should have called it Cringe.

Being a horror primarily Cut also falls short on creating any sense of discomfort. Again another horror where you don't care what happens because not one of the characters do anything intelligent and everyone is two dimensional.

Cut opened today in Australia and I went to see it after waiting ages for it to be released.

After the movie finished, I was a little disappointed but now when I think about it, it actually was a good movie. I thought it wasn't as good as Scream but way better than Scream 2, Scream 2 had very little blood or violence which made it very weak but Cut is amazing ecause it gets away with displaying so much blood. It takes a while for the movie to get into the action, but when it does that's when it starts to get interesting. Australian horror movies usually aren't very good (anyone remember Body Melt and Out of The Body?) but Cut is very enjoyable.

Even though the story doesn't make a lot of sense when all is revealed and the ending stinks, Cut is a lot of fun when it comes to the death scenes (which is what people are going to see this for anyway) they are very creative and gross and very hilarious.

When Cut comes to threatres near you, go see it. It won't make much sense, but it will be fun.

Cut doesn't restrain the blood, it's not disturbing, it's intended to be funny, and it is.

I first saw this in a theater with my dad in the year 2k.

Cant recollect whether it was Sterling theatre, Regal or Eros cos all are situated in South Mumbai.

To be honest, i enjoyed the movie then but aft revisiting it recently, i found it to be dull n dumb.

The movie has dumb dialogues.

First a woman tells the killer to attack her to distract but when the killer comes close, she tells him to stay away as if the killer will listen to her.

A fella gets impaled by a water tap is way too ridiculous.

The effects are lousy n the rubber mask is way too obvious.

I dont kno why Kylie Minogue agreed to star in in this movie.

The movie has no tension n suspense n the kills ain't scary or gruesome.

I can see where this one can be called the Australian "Scream." Kind of has the same feel as these new "slasher" movies. The story's kinda weak, but if you're expectations are low, than this should prove entertaining. It was refreshing, too to actually see some of the bloody stuff, instead of all these cheezy "cut-away" murders lately. I thought the acting was pretty decent, but the killer's identity is pretty flimsy, not really explained too well. Overall though, I was pleasantly entertained by a new "b-movie" that I found to be much better than a lot of theatrical horror out there lately....6/10
