Two
drug dealers named Brownley Dawkins (Joe
Myles) and Franky Desisto (Matt Emery)
torment and then behead a victim of
theirs in the deep woods.
Later on they drop his corpse into a mine
shaft.
Two young ladies named Karen (Janet
Tracey Kaijser) and Julie (Tanya Demsey)
go along in the woods as they follow a
mute deaf person named Harley (Brett
Chuckerman) and decides to play a little
game of hide and seek.
Harley discovers the mine shaft where the
thugs stored the slaughtered corpse in
and suspects something is wrong.
Dawkins then throws him as well into the
mine shaft and tells no one about it.
Harley's mentally disturbed sister Venus
(Delia Copold) suspects that something is
wrong as she can't find her brother.
She
decides to play her own game of hide and
seek by talking to her dolls and stuffed
toys in order to ressurect her dead
brother after a couple months pass.
Suddenly
the people responsible for Harley's death
are slaughtered one by one.
Could Harley be back from the dead to
wreck revenge or is Dawkins driving his
girlfriend Julie insane with his
paranoia?
All he knows is the body count keeps
rising and he's not sure who to trust in
this wicked tale of revenge and the
occult.
I
felt that the filmmakers should've taken a but more
time with their work as alot of scenes
seemed a little rushed plus the camera
was a little jiggly.
A nice maniacal moment on Brownley Dawkins when he constantly brings the axe down as
well as a jiggly but good close up on his
insane expressions.
A good shot on a wallet falling into a
mine shaft.
There was a scene between Drusilla Pentigill and her mute deaf friend Harley in the woods playing hide
and seek as it didn't look the least bit
convincing as this character looked amateurish.
A good disturbing shot on Harley trying
to climb up the mine shaft and struggling
after being booted in with a good shot on
him looking upset later on.
Good discussion between Drusilla Pentigill towards Venus Equinox while she is
hitting a can on a rock and going
ballistic.
There are good creepy shots on the mine
shaft as you get the feeling that someone
will rise out of there and seek revenge.
Many good moments with Venus talking to her dolls and stuffed toys
trying to resurrect her brother by
playing hide and seek with them. You
kinda feel sorry for the poor gal.
There's nice vicious lustful moments
between Franky Desisto and Karen on a bed
and a good shot on a wallet being thrown
into the room through a window with her freaking out. A phony reaction on her when she is about to be attacked with the
camera zooming in on her.
There is a good shot zooming in on Franky sleeping on a couch and a hand force
feeding him cocaine which looked a bit
intense.
A nice camera looking up on Julie acting lustful in a room and
later on a good discussion between her and Brownley and his negativ e reactions towards her looking like a convincing type of drug dealer scumbag.
A good moment with Brownley in the
woods calling for his girlfriend as well
as pinning Venus to the ground
and threatening her to explain what is
going on.
There was a real creepy moment with Venus talking into the mine shaft with her
doll about the hide and seek game.
Nice moment with Venus cackling
towards Myles after he got what was
coming to him about her hide and seek
plan as it leaves a good impression to
the story.
Bottom line: A no budgeter but
a probably Brain Damage Films best effort
as it kept you wondering whatever
happened to the mute deaf person Harley
after he was pushed into the mine shaft.
It's fun if you're in the mood for it
butr otherwise a total drag. It does
however remain mysterious till the end of
the film as I like unsolved mysteries but
it doesn't explain itself at the end as
to why the cause of the happenings to
this deaf person who was pushed into the
mine shaft.
The acting is in
poor shape for the most part but it's
also due to the budget of this flick as
it's hard to tell sometimes with films
like this due to poor sound quality and
the timing which is defintely what this
film was made out of.
Joe Myles (Brownley Dawkins) looks good but
performs amateurish as the sleazy and
nasty drug smuggler head killer. His taunting in the beginning wasn't too convincing. A nice manaical reaction on him when he constantly brings the axe down on someone though. Also knew on how to act cold and vicious
towards someone with his words by giving them
the cold shoulder.
Matt Emery (Franky Desisto) however as his side kick
seemed to do a bit better with his
aggressions and freaking out along with
his violent attitude.
My favourite one out of them all would be
supporting actress Delia Copold (Venus Equinox) as the mentally disturbed one. She
really brings her character to life as
you can tell that she was playing around
with her role. Does well staggering
around the woods trying to look for her
mute deaf brother and pounding a stick on
the ground as she looked like a real
crazy one. Does well cackling too.
Janet Tracey Kaijser (Karen) as the
girlfriend was extremely wooden as a mean
girl which wasn't at all passable in the
least.
Gina Zachory (Drusilla Pentigill) tried way too hard as
the nice and sympathetic one in the flick
but there were odd moments that I liked
her.
Janet Tracey Keijser's role as Karen appears topless while
making out with Matt Emery's character
Franky.
A guy's head is decapitated
but it looks very phony.
Karen's guts are torn out.
Franky's face is bloodied from an
overdose.
Julie's throat is cut open.
Brownley's ears are cut off.
The side of Harleys face is torn off as
he returned from the dead.
The music seems to
fit well for this Zgrade flick composed
by Jon Greathouse as he shows a
great opening score and through the film
some good guitar riffs and some odd piano
sounds with the cold synthesizer playing.
There's also a heavy metal song performed
during the closing credits of this film
which sounds quite good too.
Brownley
Dawkins: Have I got a surprise for
you little girl... Can you say Lizzie
Borden?
Venus
Equinox: No way to hear no way to
scream you're it you're it!!!! |
