Aunt Rose

It's rare now a days to pick up a movie at the local video rental outlet and then come home to find that it actually does the DVD's cover justice. It seems there are simply so many over hyped, boring & poorly done low budget films currently circulating on DVD. Recently I have ended up choosing movies based on labels out of previously garnered distrust, rather than relying on typical disappointing case artwork and story lines. It seemingly all adds up to just another "once bitten twice shy" perfect case in point for a frequent movie viewing skeptic like myself. However, this movie is different. WAY different. It's obvious 5 minutes into the film that you're witnessing as much chemistry in action as you are great character acting. This movie's cast just clicked and keeps clicking right to the end of a fast paced and anything but boring film. Each character reinforces the film's bottom line as was the case back "in the day" of the good old Black n Whites. Intriguing dialog and outstanding primary character development roll out during the film like a blood soaked, tightly rapped red carpet as it startles and slaps the unsuspecting feet of the viewer repeatedly. Nelson & Tucker work wonderfully as a team to bring out the best in their cast. They present an entertaining suspenseful story with a degree of sheer magnetic relativity that's undeniable. There is not one primary character actor in this movie that I won't be attentively watching for in the near future. Take a bow ladies & gentlemen for a job quite well done. This is a first class B horror film.

A family dinner is interrupted by three murderous criminals on the run. Said felons barge in, take the family hostage, and spend the evening terrifying and tormenting them. Eventually, innocent people are killed.

What these crazy crooks don't know is that the titular character upstairs isn't exactly what she appears to be.

AUNT ROSE is an extremely low-budget film. The family characters are believable, the home-invading thugs are suitably reprehensible, and the story is simple, but effective. While not a "classic", it's certainly watchable enough.

Special mention goes to singer / performance artiste Velocity Chyaldd, who plays the wicked Robin with obvious glee. Rayne Brown gives one of her better victimized performances, and Joshua Nelson is especially despicable in his role.

So, if you're up for a night of cheap cinematic thrills and chills, AUNT ROSE should do you true...

My wife has a knack for renting these type of extremely low budget horror movies. So I have seen a fair share. At first I though "here we go again, at least I will get to bed at a decent hour."

Well the start of the movie was, well... bad. I was ready to give up on it when it took a sick twist. Which sparked my interest for another few minutes. Although poorly acted by a majority of the cast two or three sorta put the rest on their shoulders and waded through some really, really bad dialog.

Here is where I give the movie credit. Somewhere down the line I actually wanted to watch the thing to the end. And felt the need to see what happened. So, to me they accomplished something. Like a said most of the time I will give up on these things after 15-20 minutes.

Granted there are times watching this movie where you will just shake your head, but gosh darn it, its worth a watch, if your extremely board with nowhere to go, and about an hour and a half to kill.

My thoughts are captured extremely well by a previous post... I agree with this 100%:

I don't know what that other reviewer was smoking, but this movie is not just bad, it's dreadful. I have watched possibly every low-rent, low-budget horror movie that has ever been produced, and this ranks among the worst. It was only out of a sort of train wreck curiosity that I continued watching this movie after the first five minutes. The acting is awful, just completely rank in the most amateurish fashion... not to mention being subject to seeing a very unattractive woman expose herself to the camera. Look, I realize that overseas markets really go for breasts, but let's be honest here -- do we really want to see that? The entire film is just a disaster, from start to finish. It's amusing enough for the completely D grade cheesiness of it, but if you're looking for a good horror movie, this just doesn't measure up in any way, shape, or form.
