Aunt Rose

I wish I would have jerked the wheel into oncoming traffic instead of actually making it to the video store to rent this. At first I thought it was a joke and someone was going to yell cut, ending the making of a goofy horror flick to start the real movie... then I realized this was the movie. It looked like somebody borrowed their parents camcorder to film this!!!The acting was horrible, the plot was worse, and it all and all I can't say enough about how bad it really was. And the ending!!! I can't believe the poor attempts at special effects. I would like reimbursed for the 90minutes of my life I wasted. If there are B-rate movies then this was an L. I wish I could give lower than a 1 on the rating scale, perhaps a zero, or a negative 712. Let's just say Aunt Rose will not be receiving a Christmas card from me this year.

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.

One of James Tucker's better films. Quirky acting, funny, odd, disturbing at times, he also edits his own projects and that's probably one of the stronger elements here, the pace moves quickly.

The story is a combination of several types of films which keeps it fresh. The early going is a bit rough, some of the most poorly done scenes are right up front which makes one wonder why Anchor Bay bought the film since distributors supposedly only watch the first ten minutes and those are not good minutes in this movie. This opening sets up the groups of people who will end up at the mercy of "Auntie's" powers during the last 2/3rds of the story.

The acting is uneven but most of the actors have their good moments. Dad is probably the best overall. Yes I guess it needs to be said this is a very low budget shot on video "film" the lighting is flat but at least there is none of the greenish or grainy lack of all quality that can happen with video.

Worth renting for the well acted comedy scene where a topless would be actress character talks on and on about her "career." Brilliant.

It's the story and unexpected, sometimes funny, sometimes gross turns the film takes that keeps it together along with the quirky actors who seem to make the most of the best moments in the movie, if not always making the most of the lesser moments. Tucker, as director could pick better angles to stage his scenes in, but certainly deserves credit for holding it all together.

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...

but some people have no bleeding idea how to do it.

Bad acting, bad story line, extremely bad special effects. Yes it has breasts and blood but even the breasts aren't worth watching this for. I'm guessing this was previously reviewed by the cast and crew, that or someone reviewed the wrong movie. Or perhaps the guy down the local fancy dress store thought it would be good advertising for his contact lens range.

At least the sound guy saw sense and occasionally tried to drown out the actors.

Just don't waste your time, you'll only hate yourself later.
