Watch Perkins' 14 For Free

A Masterpiece!

For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

What starts as a very interesting premise, dealing with a pharmacist and the kids he's brainwashed into mindless killing machines, is hamstrung by terrible execution and shoddy acting. At the beginning I was intrigued but as the movie wore on I found my Interests waning exponentially, hoping that the film would just end already. When the end finally came it didn't even cause me a sigh of relief that the whole awful movie was over, but rather more mad that I ever watched it in the first place. The ending, be that as it may, was simply atrocious. Yeah who would've thought there would be an awful '8 films to die for' movie? (that's sarcasm by the way )

Lame plot which goes absolutely nowhere. Somehow hypnosis (did the writer bother to research the subject) turns a bunch of kids into angry pseudo-zombies that run around and chase people in a small town. There isn't a single likable character in the film. We never care if anyone lives or dies. The action and pacing are slow. The movie is way too dark. Bad cinematography. Then in the prison for about 20 minutes we get strobe lights and sparks in a weak effort to pass for visual excitement. The end is the worst part of all. It's downbeat, pointless and dull. Typical of Horrorfest films, maybe even sub-par, and that's saying a lot. The director and writer haven't worked much since this came out. So I guess that's our happy ending.

For once I thought this film is telling a father who will manage to fight his own fear to understand the situation of his son from being one of a perkin's victim. Yet I was wrong, he's weaker than he looks... The first scene till the middle scene is clearly shown that he's great & I'm startin' to admire his bravery. However, in the middle to the end the father become completely an idiot by letting a prisoner go out by herself, killing his partner for being weak in the critical situation, her wife crawling alone I thought he will accompany her from behind in darkness, & for being weak with his son. I understand for his feeling but need to know that the son is missing around 10 years so it would be hard to recognize his father since the son is still a little brat when he's kidnapped, also his mind is totally screwed. Ahh... Honestly I really like this movie actually in the beginning but hate it when going to the end, it's so terrible for the character's roles.... Overall the movie itself is not so bad from the environment even though the camera angle sucks, & what I really like is the prologue... The case of the father for missing his son is totally outstanding, & the middle of the movie were good. Also the mother is hot, too bad she's a slut! Then the followed scene to the last at the building were sucks as hell! The ending came to be like that, so is there any plan for a sequel? I think it will need for exterminating + mutilate the 14 victims....

Well let me start off by saying that this movie was a pretty decent horror movie. I've seen several of the "8 films to die for" movies made over the last three years. Some good, some not so good. Premise was good but something was missing to make it a great horror movie, not sure what. The "PCP psychos" were effective. The one thing that really bothered me was at the end when the sheriff had locked his daughter in the cell to protect her from the the "PCP psychos" (one of which is his son whom was among the kidnapped)he locks the her cell door and the bar door that leads to the cells. Then he goes out of the locked bar door looking for his son hoping that he will recognize him and remember the love they had. Now, I understand his motives but in his overwhelming guilt of not looking harder to find his son, he goes to hug his son and gets his neck broken. Now the son has the keys to the cell where his sister is suppose to be safe. He goes in and kills the sister with a shotgun that she's holding. He should have left the key or his daughter. In his quest to regain his son, he lost his life and the life of his daughter.
