Deadly Birthday Party

Yes, the look of this movie was beautiful. I do agree! But I didn't like some of the dialogues and the story had no real surprises. The visual effects were really good, I mean that scene where the bad guy was shot. I really loved the kissing between the girls.

Let me tell you one thing. If you are in for a big laughter then this is a must see. I have seen thousands of flicks but the way they are talking English here is one big joke. If course it's a German flick and naturally they want to sell it throughout the whole world.

But do you need to speak like that. Don't get me wrong, most of the English is correct but it's the way they say it. They articulate it like they read it from a big paper or something. You get it, this is terrible acting.

The whole flick contains two stories but they really think that horror geeks are stupid or what. They do explain everything that is happening to be sure you understand it all.

On part of the effects are there if any they also are exaggerated. There's nothing gory to mention and the dying is so theatrical, to be honest, the whole flick looks like an exam for school.

Surprised to see some nudity but this was one hell of a terrible flick. Clearly no budget.

I loved the cinematography a lot. Never seen an independent low-budget horror movie look so nice and have such great sound quality. The acting was good, but I didn't like the polish girl at all. Her acting was fine, but her body didn't look good at all. The movie editing was good, the length of the movie and the music was also good too. And I loved the realistic looking blood.

I suspect the one review currently here is by a friend, so I'll attempt to set the record straight.

You know it's meant to be a fairy tale because it screams this fact at you. There are also regular 'pointers' for the viewer posted on screen, such as "Marissa (or however you spell it) suffers from headaches." Not showing our heroine suffering from a few headaches and leaving it at that, oh no - that would be to easy for our director. They prefer to add text to make sure you are 100% aware of this fact, and they do that specific trick twice that I remember.

I love indies but this made no sense. The writer didn't seem to be able to decide whether the Dad was a pervert or just weird, I didn't care - just another badly drawn character (some people use a fine pen for their characters, others seem to use a crayon and dribble a bit while sketching them).

I could go on. You can probably tell that. But this hits the word count for IMDb there's no spoilers and there's no point - if you don't believe me by now about just how bad this is you never will.

Good: Colorful scenes, visual effects, audio and music, lesbian kissing scene, acting, locations, realistic injuries, story makes sense, good editing, entertaining Bad: dialogues sometimes boring, terrible body of polish nude girl, not enough blood, not enough action
