Brimstone Incorporated

Like I say in my title, why the hell does this movie only have a 3.5 rating...? I mean, seriously... Compared to all the truly poor drivel out there, this one to me personally honestly ranks far higher than most.

First off, do you know how VERY difficult it is to pull off a Horror/Comedy that is in any way decent. Not too campy, not too dumb, and actually with good stories, sharp writing, and excellent acting? Not to mention a GOOD ANTHOLOGY...?! That almost never happens, at least in my lowly and wretched opinion, not to this high of a level of competence.

I honestly found this movie very entertaining. AND, FWIW, I usually don't go for Horror/Comedies with the exception of course of true Classics like 'REANIMATOR', for example. But you know, this one really did come through and I genuinely found it quite entertaining. It had the rare balance of having clever (but not overdone) humour, combined with truly scary or horrifying parts. Personally, I would say that this film almost, ALMOST reaches the Classic level of say 'CREEPSHOW' Almost...

I truly have NO bloody idea why this movie has such a low rating. Like I say, to me I thought for the very demanding format it was conceived and executed in a manner that was indeed very sharp, clever, and truly scary at times.

I would say that if you do like good Horror/Comedies, ones that are a few steps above your usual dumb/campy ones, and if you don't mind an Anthology format, I honestly feel that many would indeed find this movie very funny and entertaining.

I love anthologies and appreciative the effort, but this is a disaster. First Date was had the most issues (acting aside, good lord who let these 2 on screen). It made little sense coupled with a ridiculous script which reminded me of a Dawson's Creek wannabe. Skunk Weed wasn't much better, disjointed, poorly edited and acted. Mama's Boy had moments of something, but over all was over the top and had bad FX trying to be something they weren't. As far as the wrap around, the idea was good but, again, poorly acted with a script sounding like the unnatural banter found in Dawson's Creek. The "devil" tried too hard to be evil, failing miserably. I am begging indie horror to spend time on their scripts and finding real actors. But, I do appreciate an anthology, there's that.

Acting was poor even for a "B" grade horror. A couple of good special effects but in general painful to watch until the end.

If you want a GOOD horror anthology movie...then this is NOT the movie for you! The stories not only SUCK...but they aren't the least bit scary. The "acting" is SO HORRENDOUS that it kinda turns the flick into a COMEDY! This ENTIRE movie was a complete waste of time for me,and even if it was FREE...I'll never get my precious time back. There are many many MANY better horror anthology movies out there. Even the subpar anthology movies are better than this dump of a mess. I HOPE I can spare at least ONE PERSON from watching this wretched disaster of a movie...Honestly folks...they don't come much worse than this!

Toodles.

I really wanted to like this, but did not. It was very disjointed and put together poorly. Even though this was not my cup of tea, I do not want to give spoilers to those who may enjoy it. Plain and simple the acting was very amateur, at best, the writing was trying to copy numerous outlets, and 2 of the 3 stories were extremely forced and hardly made sense. The wrap around had merit, less the extremely bad acting. I am sorry for the review, but being honest if you put yourself out there. Not good.
