Dr. Rage

I think that the cover said it was based on a true story, but I didn't see it. This is a C or D level horror film with little going for it. An angry man is sentenced to work with a mad doctor to control his rage. The doctor enhances the rage to extract the rage through the sweat glands ala the funky Gatorade commercial colored sweat. The only thing that saved this film from being a total washout was the relatively good acting by the experienced cast. I wonder why they took this job? It couldn't have paid very well. Only two good things about this movie, the sex scene between Duff and Polk and the last 8 minutes with some surprise special effects. Dialog was crummy, camera work was crummy. Scenery was crummy. They even had a setup for a sequel.

Let me describe the UK cover for this movie, it's called Nightmare Hostel and is apparently an Unrated Directors Cut. Despite being Unrated it actually carries an 18 certificate and comes with the following warning - "contains scenes of graphic horror and violence & nudity", furthermore the bottom of the cover has the following - "creates a new level of gruesome, beyond that of Roth's Hostel and Gordon's Re-Animator" I think they got the wrong movie!

Violence & Horror? very, very little.

Nudity? None.

Avoid it at all costs, it's complete s**t!

This review pertains to the "Unrated Directors Cut" Where to begin on a film like this? First of all I have seen many, many horror movies, but never one quite like this. You will notice from the first five minutes that this film isn't exactly a "Hollywood" production, but I tried not to let that taint my review. The film revolves around a taxi-driver who has a bit of a rage problem and instead of facing jail time, decides to do some medical "research" There are a few minor twists and turns that I will leave for you to find out, but the bottom line is this movie never reaches the high expectations shown on its DVD Cover. The special effects are OK, the last five minutes are fair, but the overall mood of the movie never really reaches full effect.

If you are a fan of odd, low budget, dialog movies, then you might actually find this one somewhat entertaining. The added sex scene provides at least some sort of excitement to an otherwise dull production.

My rating 2 out of 10.

This movie was so absolutely horrible, it inspired me to write my first review on IMDb.

My friend and I are horror movie connoisseurs. We've seen them all - bad, good, awful yet funny...

It doesn't matter what you in enjoy in a good horror movie, this movie will not deliver it. It was a waste of my 88 minutes and 3 bucks from start to finish. Even if you like to watch bad horror movies simply to laugh at how bad they are...this movie will simply make you want to rip out your eyes and curse the society which gives birth to such horrible, poorly acted films.

DO NOT RENT!

There were two good things about this movie. It ended, and I didn't buy it.

The dialog was silly, the sets were thrift store rejects, the director was just one step above renting a barn and putting on a show, the lead character was stiff, and his nose moves with his upper lip. Karen Black should be ashamed. I guess you could tell its not one of my favorites I must say, that if they had intended to make a parody of a 1950's horror movie, they could have promoted it for laughs. There are a few giggles. If only the girl had sprained her ankle while running in heels up the stairs with the monster right behind her.
