Fright Fest

Where to start?

Thankfully it's only 87 minutes long. Any longer would have been cruel and unusual punishment, and I haven't done anything wrong!

The script is bad. The music is bad. The direction is non-existent. The special effects and makeup are awful. There is no acting ability on display whatsoever.

Avoid at all costs and find something better to do with your 87 minutes.

Nothing new here. Still, it does have enough random elements that I enjoyed watching it overall. Drug addict director is given second chance with a fright fest. And of course a bus transporting the criminally insane just happens to crash near by the abandoned asylum that is housing the fright fest. Go Figure! I wish there was a bit more to the ending rather than just "It ends." Production quality is low in some areas (i.e. Did they simply ask people to walk through the fright fest and "act scared"?), but oddly enough I enjoyed the actors and some of the main characters enough to enjoy watching this film. But, if you don't enjoy basic slasher films without much plot or character development, this isn't for you.

Ok This film isn't going to win Oscars for best acting or directing. But it's great mindless watching for Halloween! People giving bad reviews would be right to but I think it's just a Hollywood diversion type of flick and not supposed to be an art movie of any kind, it is what it is. Saying that it was very cliche and the sleezy director types really rubbed me up the wrong way. I don't like this depection of a director as it gives other filmmakers a bad name. But it's a pretty fun film.

Everything about this is awful. The acting, the special effects, the story.

It doesn't even fall into 'so bad it's good' it's just a really bad movie.

It obviously isn't meant to be a serious horror movie, but overall the acting was bland, the plot poorly executed, and the jokes not funny. Leave this on in the background for white noise, I guess. It's a typical B movie with nothing particularly special about it.
