Sella Turcica

Sergeant Brad Roback is coming home from Iraq in a wheelchair. With no memory of the attack, or what occurred afterward, and with the loss of function in his legs, it is natural that Brad is confused and dazed. But something more is wrong with Brad. He looks half-dead, with red sunken eyes and a ghastly pallor. He cannot eat; his body oozes black fluid, the stench from which is like the stench of death. As Brad deteriorates, his family gathered round to support him but unable to reach him, the full toll of war is seen. Sella Turcica is a brutal, brilliant statement about the terrors of war. With excellent acting that brings home the heart-breaking horror of what is happening, highly effective makeup and special effects, and a story that will fester i your brain, Sella Turcica is one of the best anti-war horror films we've ever seen.

A soldier returns from war to a family happy to see him. Soon they become not so happy and by the end even less happy. Over the course of a couple of days the soldiers health deteriorates until the point the family know something is very wrong, by which point it is too late.

I watch a lot of low budget horror movies so I'm used to seeing terrible acting and low production values and it never usually puts me off. The acting here isn't great but I have seen a hell of a lot worse. Also it was good to see Camille Keaton again even in such a small role.

The film quality itself is pretty good but the sound is very muffled. The make up FX and gore FX towards the end of the movie are very good as anyone familiar with the Toetag movies would expect. At the end the way the soldier begins acting I found very chilling and thought his performance was easily the best.

My only problem with this movie was that it is painfully slow. As the returning soldier gets more ill his monologues become very slow and I found myself keep checking the running time for the movie wondering how much longer it was going on for.

If you were a fan of death dream but were disappointed it didn't quite go for the jugular then you owe it to yourself to check this out. It's nowhere near as classy but still very enjoyable.

Wow... This movie was off the hook, although it wasn't very exciting the entire time because (I feel) it is meant to be more of a dramatic type horror film, which is something TOETAG has never done before. Everything builds up to the action, and it makes it so much better to see it all happen... You get to see Bradley progress through his sickness within about 24 hours of him and his family being together again. I personally believe this is TOETAG's greatest film ever, and they really took a new approach to making movies with this one, and tried something they hadn't done before... This movie has made me look at TOETAG a different way than I already did... I thought I loved them before, but I must say, I now truly do.

The story is amazing, and although it wasn't necessarily 'original', it was in ways and kept me very interested the whole time through. The characters were all great, and Damien Maruscak did excellent as Bradley.

The only problem I had with the film was the acting, but I did not expect the acting to be amazing as it is after all a TOETAG movie, the acting is not bad, but the acting is not great, and nothing special.

READ THE FULL REVIEW @ http://gravesidestudios.ca/movies/sella-turcica- movie-review/

I'm not sure if this has ever been raised but IMDb needs to have some sort of a system to filter dishonest reviews. Well, it must be really hard to do, almost impossible, I realise.

Anyway, I just could not believe the 3 positive reviews submitted. As someone already mentioned, they must be from the morons who made the movie.

Other than those 3, enough is said about the movie. The budget should be $20, not $20,000.

Get your remote control and be ready to fast forward. I'm glad I did that otherwise I would have wasted more 90 minutes of my time. The movie is extremely SLOW with no story at all. If you want some gruesome stuff then just watch the last 5 minutes.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

I usually write a review when the movie is either of exceptional standards or when it is an absolute crap, to put it mildly. Well for those who might be unfortunate enough to watch even 5 minutes of "this" ... will know which category it fits in. One could go to great lengths in describing how bad this is. But I'd rather save some time and simply advise anyone with the slightest sense of self respect and intelligence to save their time too and stay away from this ... atrocious joke. Horrific! Horrid! Ridiculously bad !!! IMDb has a ridiculous policy of 10 lines minimum in a review, thus, I must keep writing until it can actually be approved. Thats how bad this "video" is, that I feel sick just by writing about it. But I feel obliged to contradict those three imbeciles posting positive reviews, who are either somehow involved in the production of this joke or they are just sick morons with a twisted sense of humour who think it's funny posting a false positive review in order to make others watch this INSANELY BAD production. Hope the above should be enough to warn some folks, who might actually be interested in watching quality, instead of this ... god I cant refrain from using the word CRAP again in describing it. CRAP ! CRAP ! CRAP ! is what this is. There it goes, I said it. Nothing else needs to be said.
