There's Nothing Out There

There's Nothing Out There is an erotic horror comedy film directed by Rolfe Kanefsky, the film stars Craig Peck, Wendy Bednarz, and Mark Collver.

Made on very limited budget can easily be termed as c-grade erotic horror film but after watching the film you might not be disappointed.

The plot of the film is simple and has nothing fresh in it, the screenplay of the film is average but will not disappoint you, acting is average to decent and climax of the film is predictable but good.

Overall the film is not a disappointing film and one can be entertaining in pieces.

After a boffo opening that will have you longing for those mom 'n' pop video stores of old, THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE begins!

It's spring break, and a group of high school friends head out to a house in the deep woods. When the partying starts, these young people are unaware that something has decided to join them. Something not of this world! Bizarre events take place almost immediately.

The horror fanatic of the group expects grisly disaster at every turn. Luckily for us, he's right! Copious gore and nudity explode onto the screen!

This movie is for the low-budget horror enthusiast, as well as the self-aware parody lover. It's loaded with cheeeze-on-purpose and stereotypical characters. Is there superior acting? No. Deep, philosophical dialogue? Not a bit. More fun than a barrel full of quivering monkey guts? Yes!

The monster is sheer, rubbery perfection! The face melting sequence is incredible-ness itself! The beheading is brilliance on toast, with extra tomato! The final conflict will have you saving light bulbs and praying for a girlfriend like Stacy (Bonnie Bowers)!

This is one of a handful of Troma films that are truly worth watching. Watch it now!

Before we got the likes of Scary Movie, there was this. Smart, fast paced film with a good sense of humor and a game cast is about seven college students going to a remote cabin and falling prey to an alien that is looking to reproduce. This time around though, one of the kids knows that they are part of a horror movie and knows exactly what is going to happen. However, his friends don't pay attention naturally.

Rated R; Sexual Situations, Rape, Nudity, Violence, and Profanity.

I'm not the biggest fan of horror comedy, but this one adequately takes the clichés of eighties horror and blends them into a fairly funny little flick. It's obvious that the people involved were horror fans themselves, as the film revolves around an all-too typical horror theme. The lead character is Mike; a horror movie buff, who travels up to a lake-side cabin to spend a weekend with six friends. Mike begins to spot signs of danger, but the others dismiss his theories. However, it turns out that he's not wrong and pretty soon the group fall foul of something living out there in the area surrounding the lake-house. The film doesn't really work as a horror film in its own right; obviously the director was more interested in generating laughter than scares. But the self-referential jokes are quite funny, and the film is good at picking out the various horror movie clichés and poking fun at them. Unfortunately, I saw this on a rather poor VHS copy, but apparently there's a better DVD out now. Overall, There is Nothing Out There didn't do as much for me as it evidently did for others, but it makes for a fun viewing and is recommended to fans of horror comedy.

This is an impressive amateur effort from the directing to the writing to the acting to the production. It feels like a good college theater troupe pooled their money to prove their chops because its so much sharper than the usual indie horror comedy. Its even historic in its premise as this is the first self-referential/meta slasher film. It will surprise you how much it predicts (or inspires) both "Scream" and "Cabin in the Woods".

TNOT is dated in some of its jokes and fashion but its a charming and high spirited film that has aged very well and deserves a lot of credit for being so ahead of its time and making the most of its small budget.
