Watch Carnage For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

"A newlywed couple moves into their new home and are ready to settle into their new life together. After settling in, the couple begins experiencing some strange occurrences in the home, and discovers, to their horror, the truth behind them. It seems the former owners of the home were a newlywed couple that committed suicide years before, and are now haunting the place," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis. That the other couple committed suicide in the house is certainly no surprise. In fact, there is no suspense to speak of, in "Carnage". The film is simply a series of gory deaths, around the house… while a dog barks, indecently, outside… Not only does the couple NOT leave the haunted house, they invite other couples to join in the fun. Do not watch this movie without having other things around, to help pass the time.* Carnage (1984) Andy Milligan ~ Leslie Den Dooven, Michael Chiodo, Deeann Veeder, John Garitt

One of Andy Milligan's better efforts, this is basically a cash-in of Amityville Horror done in Milligan style, a low-budget production and a less slick but competent version.That it is a cash-in is evident from the plot, religious icons, and specifically from the wholesale repeating of the infamous shot of the spooky Amityville house in ever-increasing zoom cuts used to emphasize the fact that it's a haunted house. However, this is done in an amateur style here.Much else about the film is amateurish, but done with intensity so that it is enjoyable nonetheless. There's plenty of moments where you'd think a little bit more effort would have greatly improved the production, but then that would be hindsight. Who really knows what obstacles such a low-budget effort has except those involved? Acting is also typical of low-budget, though not without merit, especially the actress playing the Mother-in-Law, she's particularly good and attractive as well.The gore quotient is fairly high, again done with minimal budget, so some effects are good and some are lesser. There's such items as hand chopped off, decapitation, disemboweling, stuff that was typical for the time. This can be gotten cheaply on a DVD from EastWest DVD as a double feature with Class Reunion Massacre, also a very decent low-budget shocker that has gained a cult status, so it's a DVD worth getting.

I was on amazon.com and read about some bio of the director that is supposed to be quite fascinating and can be bought for .01 evidently he was important to starting off Broadway as he made films for 42nd street theatres. this was last night then I found this with another movie on one DVD at the 99 cents only store, so I knew I was fated to watch.this movie was cute, gets a little dull after awhile but . . I did quite like the ending!it's important to give 10 lines of text. Well, it should have been the husband shown in the opening scene who was eventually to be nude and without clothing in the raw as it were.-------------it's funny how the film boldly commits errors but then parts of it are very competently shot, when the people are looking around in the house of doom.---------in the soundtrack there is a loop of a barking dog that is played 3 times in succession, then there is a variation like a little bit of it is cut out and this "big phrase" ends by starting again. This cycle repeats maybe 8-10 times when employed, becoming a sort of a pure vibration a kind of incantation of mood, "ARF ARF ARF! ARF!! (pause) ARF!! (pause) ARF!! (pause)" rather like morse code are this particular hounds utterances. The filmmakers get away with it partly cause dogs are often quite repetitive in their barking. there almost seems to be dog sentence structure, from the sound of it, and I couldn't help wondering if it might be possible that dogs borrow their "cadences" from humans. after all it's usually humans they are barking at. But only in the most lassie like extremities, really, maybe only on TV, in face, do dogs use barking as a means of communication with their masters, it's whining that's commonly done. What I'm saying is, if dogs were imitating conversation then maybe they'd be liable to join into human conversations by barking along, but this doesn't happen. anyway I was glad to have watched the movie for putting my mind onto this subject of the structure, grammar, or just rhythm of dog barking.

Spoiler I am surprised that this movie got 2.1/10, it should not! This is horrible!!!!!!! Why did Andy Milligan make this crap? This movie begins with two newlywed couples killing each other shortly being married. Then sometime later another newlywed couple move into the house. They invite some friends over, who themselves will be married. Then the fun begins, people start dying or getting seriously hurt. The couple find out that the previous owners committed double suicide and that the house is haunted. So they with the urging of the previous owners' ghosts kill themselves.This movie was low budget, like Milligan's other films, one can easily tell. No creatvity substituted for lack of money, a plot that makes no sense and goes no one. The special effects are cheap and amateurish. why make a horror movie with effects when you don't have money to make at least decent attempts at it? Lack of money means you have to be more creative than the average filmmaker, unfortunately Milligan was not. This movie is so bad they do not even sell it in many places. Look out Plan 9 from outer Space, look out Manos, Hands of Fate, you have a contender for worst picture of all time. Carnage has that potential, the only potential it has.
