I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Fantastic!
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
I had the opportunity to see this horror weeks before it's video release. Boy, I was in for a let down. It fails on everything. First, it feels so much like Scream, which stands a superior to this c..p. One good thing was seeing Kylie Minogue, as one of a make up crew of a film set, whatever, getting knocked off in the first ten minutes. She says to the killer, veiled behind another scary mask, very Jason Vorhees, and Michael Myers, "That's the best acting I've even seen you do", before she bloodily disposed of. The run down of story, involves a cursed slasher film, that was dropped, on account of some of the crew getting knocked off. Now in the present, some young budding film makers, want to resurrect it, so we know what's to ensue. The films waste some bloody good performances, disregarding the latter. The film has a lot of dark scenes, has sloppy story telling, and is not the clearest film to follow and American import, Molly Ringwald, playing a bitchy American actress, just overacts. Even how it ends is crap. The whole thing is messy. It's cinema poster, sporting some scissors and nice dashes of blood whatever really sells you down the wrong river. Terrible.
I saw this movie last night on Fearnet.com and although it was made with more style than your run-of-the-mill, low-budget horror movie, it was still pretty awful. You know its not a good sign when the first five minutes, which highlight the cheesy movie being made within this movie, are actually better than the rest of the film. It's like once the real film started the fun died.The aesthetics of the opening scene work well and the result is a terrific parody of mad slasher movies. The framing of the opening shots are so overwhelmingly yellow and Molly Ringwald's acting is so over-the-top that the whole sequence is very funny on par with the "Scream" movies. Unfortunately, the reminder of the movie did not have a fraction of inspiration or style.My big complaint about this movie is that the premise of the murders are set up to make you think that one of the young cast members is the killer. So as the movie progresses, you're trying to deduce who it is (which can be fun). Not that I would dream of revealing the outcome, but suffice it to say that the explanation of who the killer is - in a word - sucks! And what should be an exciting climax, is quite dull.I only have two requests of a movie in order to be entertained and that is that they (a) keep my attention and (b) arouse some emotion. Aside from boredom, the only emotion I felt while watching this movie was sympathy for Molly Ringwald. Her talents are just plain wasted here. Hopefully being in this movie hasn't discouraged her from ever going back to Austraila:(
Cut tries to be like most post-Scream slashers tried to be, a spoof of the horror genre that tried to be clever by referencing other famous horror movies. Now, I am not bagging 'Scream,' as I think 'Scream' is a very good horror movie that does a great job of blending horror and comedy. Cut fails on most levels. It has its moments but overall it just does not work out, not even as a "so bad it's good" movie, just a below average one.The first five minutes or so are OK and set the story fairly well, apart from the fact that Kylie Minogue can't really act, and ironically she gets her tongue out, go figure. Go forward some time and a group of film students want to finish her film off, which is apparently cursed. And, as you have probably predicted, one by one the cast and crew are slowly picked off by a masked madman.Unoriginal plot, poor acting and a predictable ending are a few of the elements that follow. There is plenty of referencing in the film, everything from 'Scream' to 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.' This isn't smart either, it feels as though the director wanted to feel smart and cool by mentioning other famous horror flicks ala Scream. For a slasher there is minimal gore and no nudity, which is a huge negative when it comes to a slasher that has not got a whole lot going for it. Really, I should be supporting this movie because I'm Australian and we're not as good when it comes to horror (we do have our gems, though) but Cut is definitely not one of them.However, it did keep me watching for the 90 minutes or so, so that is something good at least. I would not recommend this to anyone apart from hardcore slasher fans, who may be able to appreciate what this film is trying to aim for, but if you are looking for a good movie, stay away.2/5
The genre of a horror movie within a movie made its way to Australia for this movie. Kyle Minogue and Molly Ringwald are bitchy Hollywood director/actress types and that's about the highlight.The other thing interesting is the killer...is the movie itself. Apparently every horror movie has a REAL killer ready to come out or something.Maybe these actors are great in Australlia but the only ones who did anything noteworthy in the US were the American Molly Ringwald and the European Kylie Minogue.Good way to kill 2 hours but nothing really special about it 5 out of 10
