A
group of college friends have a day off of school
so one of the college students named Lisa (Lia
Montelongo) invites her friends to a mansion
owned by her Uncle Marty (Martin Mountfield) but
along the way they end up in a detour into the
Galloway Forest which is known for mysterious
disappearances and rumors of cannibalism.
While they enter the mansion Marty doesn't seem
to be there so they all decide to hang out or
take a shower.
Lisa starts to have bizarre visions as her family
has a deep dark secret and then Marty suddenly
arrives and it's dinner time. She also discovers
that Marty is a vampire and has a taste for flesh
and blood as he turns most of her friends into
vampires as well as using one of her friends
named Heather (Melissa Mountifield) as one of his
sacrifices in his main living room of the mansion
but Lisa doesn't know what to do about these
situations.
OK I know a bad movie when I see it
but this one was really bad but the picture
quality is better than most of these no graders.
Yet it looked as cheap as watching a porn flick.
In fact the story almost seemed like a horror
porn flick without the hard core sex. Yet alot of
women undressing and taking a shower.
The very beginning of the film looked cheesily
impressive with a woman being attacked in the
woods and dragged away but after the opening
credits it fell flat big time showing a group of
people waiting for one of the others finishing
her sickness by throwing up which seemed pretty
gross. The plot around it looked incredibly
amateurish.
Then of course this woman cleans herself up
while taking a shower and we hear farting noises
too. I'm not kidding.
A good camera shot looking up and down on her taking a
shower with red water spraying on her but it
looked like a porn flick the way this setting was
done.
There's shots on Megan undressing while
having a trashy discussion with Lisa.
There's a real lacking moment with Lisa herself getting anxious with a shot on Megan having
her head in the water which looked very
unconvincing.
There's sounds coming from the hallways of
the house which seemed awfully comedic while the
hauntings were supposed to have been happening
but this was all unconvincing. However, there's
some interesting moments like blood pouring down
some walls but yet it looked a bit amateurish.
A crappy make out scene between both Terry and Kurt in a shower
which looked so melodramatic it's not even funny
but there is an odd interesting moment with Uncle Marty appearing with them in the act and
getting aggressive towards them.
Plus there's some lustful discussions and lots of
stale one's with cheap looking moments which
almost looked like watching a cheesy daytime soap
opera too.
There's close up camera shots on Megan lying in a bed naked with takes looking up and
down, sideways and from a distance with her
rubbing rose petals all over her and I was
thinking to myself "Get to the point
please".
However it does seem to pick up with Uncle Marty appearing and making
himself very mysterious especially his dark
secret on his meal that he serves which doesn't
seem quite right at all which looked totally
shocking for a no budgeter.
Good close up camera shots with a trashy
discussion between Uncle Marty coming on
strongly towards Megan which looks
suitable for a lusting moment as well as a good
close up shot on his vampire fangs along with him
trying to bite her neck which looked incredibly
lacking. There is good close up shots on him
biting her flesh though.
Then there's moments with Uncle Marty turning
other into vampires and some cheesy moments with
the survivors trying to get away which seemed
alot of fun to watch which makes up for the first
half of it and saving it from a bomb to an
average rating of 2 bats.
Good shots on blood dripping from some
walls but yet when Lisa sees this
and freaks. There's a nice shot on her kneeling down near a
corner of the hallway.
Good close up shots on Uncle Marty cutting
up some meat and serving it with some gruesome
close up shots on the meat bleeding as well as
shots on some hair attached to the meat which
looked believeably gross as well as some
interesting moments on him having a wicked charm
talking to his guests.
There's also a discussion between both Heather and Terry near their bed talking to one
another which looked as wooden with the scene
looking like a daytime soap when they try to get
into the mood of having sex.
There's some interesting dark shots with the
camera panning on some material used for sexual
acts as well as Terry approaching and
looking at at along with good close up shots on a
ghoul borad cutting around her breast with a
razor and other parts of her body along with the
two of them kissing and caressing one another
which looked fairly artsy but at the same time a
bit trashy too.
Some interesting camera shots on Terry trying to attack and then jumping out the window.
Alot of cheesy blocking on both Lisa and Heather running away in the mansion as well as their
screaming looking amateurish when the terror happens. Yet
there's some good shots on Uncle Marty trying to block them or stare at them through a
window with his vampire fangs which looked quite
neat.
A good distance shot looking down in a
living room lounge with Uncle Marty acting
full of life along with a shot on Heather screaming with shots of barbwire and other
stuff surrounding her which looked interesting
with these creepy camera shots on all of this.
Then Uncle Marty brings alot of dark humor when
he is about to do a sacrifice with a woman pinned
on a table with barb wire around her which adds
alot more fun touches throughout the story of the
film.
There's also a classic ending even if everything
about the film was trashy looking but I won't
give that one away.
Bottom line is the first half of the film was a
piece of crap offering a very small plotline with
no scares at all but it picks up on the other
half which seems average fun. Alltogther though
it's a bad film but can be fun for a party type
of flick. Plenty of skin more than the gore
involved. I got this from the Tomb of
Terrors collection and it's better
compared to the junk they had to offer than the
other lame films on there.
The acting is bloody awful for the
most part. Wooden isn't the word for this. Lead
actress Lia Montelongo (Lisa) really tried
her best and she seemed to do not too bad with
her charming personality and flirtatious attitude
but yet she really lacks when she gets scared and
her screaming was just plain amateurish to top it
all off.
Martin Shannon (Uncle Marty) however was the best one out
of the whole cast as the vampire in the flick in
which he knew on how to have a scruffy sounding
voice as well as bringing on a totally slick evil
behavior by using his dark humor as well as
showing some good vampire type of expressions
too. He's not award winning material nonetheless.
Melissa Mountifield (Heather) seemed like that
she was just starting out in daytime soaps she
seemed that inexperienced and mellodramatic. She
seemed to look good on the camera but that's
about it. Of course she seemed to remain a
virutal unknown like the rest and will remain
that way if she doesn't improve.
Dave Larsen (Kurt) was a total
idiot just saying his lines and not getting into
character at all in which he was supposed to have
been sarastic with a bit of a cocky attitude
playing one of the main guy's here but he is so
flat with everything he does. He needs serious
acting lessons if he wants to carry on as an
actor. My guess was that he was a friend of the
people working on this film.
Peter Renaud (Terry) was another line reader as a
goofball and not showing any energy at all in his
character like he was supposed to have been and
he was the key member to this film and doesn't
prove it at all. There's a scene with him coming to
the dinner table and talking towards someone and then attacking him by biting him on the neck
which looked very low on energy. He was a complete bore.
Robin Brown (Megan) was so gross in her role as she
was supposed to play a hottie but doesn't even
have the looks for this part. She was terrible
with her performance like the rest here and I was
glad that she was killed off in the first half of
this film. Her lacking painful reactions
which seems like she's enjoying herself too much
with this when being bitten. There's a scene when she freaks out as terrible wasn't the word by when she does this. She was an absolute pain to watch.
There's
lots of skin galore in this film as in the
beginning we spot supporting actress Robin
Brown rubbing herself with rose petals naked
from top to bottom lying on a bed in which later
on this was reused in a later scene having a
dialogue as well bare breasted to one of the main
characters.
She also strips down to take a shower.
Laura Beverly is fully naked during a
hallucination sequence taking a shower with red
blood pouring on her.
Melissa Mountifield is
fully naked while taking a shower.
Lia
Montelongo shows off her hooters while
taking off her shirt while about to make out with
her boyfriend.
Then again Mountifield is topless
bare breasted while lying in bed with her
boyfriend and having a conversation with him.
Heather Murphy is topless
during a sequence near a room with sex objects as
camera shots focus on her lightly cutting her
boobs with a razor.
Some bloody neck and skin bites
A person is bloodily impaled on an object of a
roof and spitting out gobs of gore from his mouth
There's
idiotic sounding rap beats thorughout most of the
plots especially during many of the lustful
scene's. Yet at times there's high pitched icy
violin synthesizer music effects for some of the
creepy moments used in the film composed by Dylan
Langhoff Moeller.
