Sweet Insanity

No Spoilers...

This is just another useless movie in the "teen massacre" category. There is absolutely NO plot. The story happens completely "bacause I say so"...there is no cause nor reason to the events in the movie; even the sad attempt to "suggest" an old trauma using some confused flashbacks is of no real use if you want to find a MEANING in this plot.

The characters are just the same old cliché-students "the Hot, the Slut and the Moron between" with a supporting cast of rich-but-punk friends. Oh...and a totally unrelated Spooky-Neighbor!

Not to mention that the "twist" of this story becomes quite obvious after the first 30 seconds of the movie...this "special" idea is being totally ABUSED in recent movies, so it doesn't sort any effect unless the movie is made with a bit of skill...which this movie is NOT :P

The only reason I watched through the whole film is because the girls are damn HOT...and there are LOTS of 'em! All this beautiful almost-25-years old girls pretending to be innocent seventeen students. Yummy. Yes...THAT is the only positive thing in the whole movie...oh, and the poster too! The poster picture is cool...too bad it is UNRELATED to the movie, save perhaps the last 15 seconds :P

this is pretty much your run of the mill teen slasher movie: complete with the beautiful people clique, the gratuitous sex, the stereotypical characters (btw did anyone else find them all really rude?), the drugs & booze... the whole package really... i'd also add that the PLOT IS THIN & UNORIGINAL.

i guess it's MILDLY ENTERTAINING, i've got nothing against light entertainment it boasts ALRIGHT SUSPENSE (we know what's going to happen from the start but not really why). it is also QUITE SCARY due to an ACHIEVED TENSION & UNSETTLING MOOD (although i think the director's use of "arty" shots didn't contribute that much). furthermore there are A FEW GOOD LINES in there (yet this may well be due to the fact they are cheesy and bring a whole other level to the film)... but the writing is greatly let down by the poor acting.

i'm aware that this is an independent movie (quite glossy and well "finished" i have to say in it's defence), so i guess you could try and justify this sort of thing... but THE ACTING WAS REALLY DIRE!(i mean jc vandamme/c. norris/c.bronson league, but to make it worst they seem like they're competing for the crown)... you know, the embarrassing & painful kind... the obvious guess is that their priority was the look of the cast (i've got nothing against a bit of eye candy & this was probably not such a bad choice considering the targeted & actual audiences for these sort of films but it really sabotaged the film).

i never leave comments (especially long ones & concerning films i didn't enjoy... they're never the "main" ones are they?... i smell a rat), but the current comment did not satisfy me. this film takes risks? please... this is the official recipe of a tried and tested genre. they clearly knew there is a market for it. the only risks this movie took was the risk of making a bad movie with even worse actors.

sorry if i put anyone off but this was kind of the point. i suggest that U SHOULD NOT PAY to see this film (i'm glad i didn't), BORROW IT off a mate who fell for the comments/rating.

Though shot on video, but that means so little now as a praise or knock, it's decently shot though looks like video,actors look pleasant but cannot act. Big problem here is that very little happens and there is no excitement ever generated. Listen to the director commentary and you'll see perhaps why, as the things he chooses to talk about as being interesting are the least interesting aspects of uninteresting scenes. Very few deaths in the film, only one of these is even convincing to any degree, no nudity--though it teases you in this regard which is a total cheat. If you are telling a story without nudity, good, great even, but don't play the game of being sleazy and then not deliver. But this thing does not deliver on any level ever. Technically there have been worse things released by bigger companies and by MTI who did in fact unleash this talk fest, but what makes this so bad is it is lifeless. There is no effort to do anything of interest with the camera. There is no sense of how to tell a story or get performances out of "actors" It all seems to be done in a industrial film level of competence but who cares? The central idea, if you can even say it has one, so let's say the gimmick isn't convincing. It just plods along to a short running time that seems far far away as the pointless scenes follow one another. Why release this movie? Just don't bother watching it there is no reason. That's why I say it's bad, it's just so pointless, so meaningless, so so so dull.

Oh man, this movie was so freakin bad it astounds me that all the people time and money it must have taken to make could have went to such better places. Like so many other reviewers - where to start in describing this craptacular? The sound in this movie was terrible, most people might overlook this becuz the acting, script and directing is so bad too. But the songs are WAY too loud, the dialouge too quiet, some of it obviouslt re-recorded in post production and atmosphere sounds were badly mixed too, sounded too loud and separate. This "film" has the be the best example of the WORST DELIVERY OF DIALOGUE EVER. The director did such a terrible job casting and using his actors, and the actors were astoundingly terrible - who the hell would ever act/say half the things the main female lead does? Oh, and then there's the ending - which has been done many times before, much better. The main female lead gave such a bad performance the final 'twsit' (which you can see a mile away becuz its been done so often now) is STUPID!

I guess I was duped by the reviews the cast & crew posted. I swear I haven't seen a worse film in years. Pure junk. They didn't even try. It was SO bad, in fact, that I actually bothered to register here at IMDb to warn others.

Totally predictable. A generic hum for dialogue. Cute girls that don't show a thing (even in a hot tub). Just pure crap. I'm shocked they even bothered to make this flick. I really wish I could say something good about it but I can't. There's no point going into details because the filmmakers didn't care enough to bother with that stuff either. Just pure crap.
