The Choke

Even though I am writing this review 12 years later for new readers and people looking to gain a new horror film, I hope they stumble upon my review so they can take into consideration that this is actually a really good horror film.

First things first, yes I know...the acting may not be as best and it may take a while to get into but it keeps you guessing until the very end. Secondly, it has a great soundtrack. That's definitely worth mentioning in my opinion. Thirdly, the fact that the killer is not shown at all until the very end makes it all that much more enjoyable. And forthly, as my finishing conclusion to this review is that I definitely recommend The Choke. It's a very different horror film with rock n roll as well as a very unique plot twist at the end! It is worth every minute! Guaranteed.

Holy crap how many bad movies is made really??? I have seen a lot and this one was really bad!! Of course I have seen movies that are even much worse. First of all how can the murdered goes killing a lot of people and still be with the people almost the whole time and at the same time not one drop of blood on her whole body!!! That was a big hole in the movie I must say. And the first 30 minutes was really boring!! I like building up a movie but it must be in a good way.

Yeah, basically I liked the movie a lot, and thought it was rather entertaining. It is a you either love it or you hate it type of film. I would give it a nine out of ten. This movie keeps you guessing throughout the entire thing. You are not sure who the killer is until the very end. The acting is not the best in my opinion, but I think that adds something to the movie. It makes it kind of funny. The Choke is a "slice 'em dice 'em" movie, but you are not going to be grossed out by a lot of gore. I also thought the background music was amazing! I would like to hear those bands, but I can not find anything about them. I would definitely recommend people watch this movie. So, that is about it.

i can understand why people hated this film but it really isn't that bad. sure the acting is a little over the top but the suspense and that twist is pretty good in the movie. i liked how they used the wonder bread factory for some of it cause it gave it more mystery. the gore isn't that over the top either, it's mainly left to the imagination and some after sides of the deaths but nothing all that bad. if your looking for a movie to watch on a Saturday when your bored out of your mind, give this movie a try, you'll either love it or hate it.. i personally thought it was a decent direct to DVD hit. 7/10, give it a try.

If anyone else have had the misfortune to watch the Juan A. Mas (among others) directed "The Coroner" from 1999 they will understand that I almost decided not to watch "The Choke" after knowing Juan A. Mas had something to do with it. But I must say things have gotten very better. Mr. Mas made a giant leap forward. The Choke is a good suspense packed film with a nice twist to it. The actors are okay though the lines are somewhat forced. But that's not their problem. Also hats off to the writers for making a script in 6 days (I was told in the DVD extras). Worth a watch on a Sunday evening with a bag of potato chips nearby. I give this film 5/10 - and I wish Mr. Mas and all involved in this the best. You've done a rather nice job.
