Simply Perfect

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

George Romero!!! U owe me money. Ur son cheated me by masquerading. Normally I check user reviews on IMDb n trailer b4 purchasing a DVD. I bought this one because the DVD cover states: Romero's Staunton hill. I got a surprise when I came to know that it's by ROMERO's son, Cameron Romero. The movie was awful. Nothing scary or creepy. Jus a 1001th rip off of Texas Chainsaw massacre, but an extremely bad one. First the movie was too boring. I jus wanted to get my money's worth n sadly I saw till the end credits. Awful direction, bad editing, bad screenplay, decent acting n some good cinematography. Ther was gore but thats too lame. No tension, no character development, no suspense, nothing. The ending was even more bad. What a talent this Cameron guy. The guy deserves an Oscar for the most original plot. The dude is really talented man. He acted in this film too. I mean he got credited as an actor for this film by jus landing his voice, as the telephone operator. As if his direction is not enuff, the guy is a writer, cinematographer, producer, camera operator n editor too. Wtf man. One more surprise I got. The guy is an executive producer of Singham returns too. I saw this awful film n i suffered. Plz avoid this.

The apple and the tree, you know, most expressions are true. Bava and his son, Argento and his daughter and here we have in capital on the sleeve Romero. Of course we are talking of cult figure George A. Romero. But here the expression of the apple doesn't count. Yes, some parts are really well but it's only on the screen for maybe 10 minutes. Those parts are extremely gory and the red stuff flows copious but the rest of this flick is so dull. Not one actor or actress is convincing. It isn't really a slasher it's in the kind of hillbillies goes berserk. But they do it for only as mentioned maybe 10 minutes. There is to much blah blah and the director teases us with coming nudity but it never comes. Not that it is necessary but face it. If you show a girl go stripping in a shed then you expect that she shows her juggs. Or as one girl is stripped by the killer in her undies and he cut her knickers in shreds then you again expect to see it all, but no, he cuts away to another shot. When there is gore it is really greasy but I won't recommend it to gorehounds or slasher geeks. It's just one to see how you can make a bad movie.

I thought that maybe, just maybe, some of George Romero's talent rubbed off on his son. Not a chance. Not that "pops" is a super talent like Kubrick,but at least he's found his niche with zombies. His son has not. This film was nothing more than a blatant rip off of Texas Chain Saw Massacre with the usual bunch of Southern inbreds that we've seen repeatedly in other slasher movies.Staunton Hill was a low budget, poorly written, poorly directed, poorly edited and overall poorly produced film. I believe that it went straight to DVD and if it was ever seen in a theater, the audience must've gone to sleep or left after the first 20 minutes. I would.This flick had just the most ridiculous dialog, it dragged and dragged and made little sense. Plot holes that would suck in a solar system. Supposely, this yawn, I mean this yarn, had taken place in 1969. Whoever was the stylist (I'm assuming they had one)had totally missed the mark with period correct clothing and hair styles (accept for the black dude with the afro pick sticking out of his hair.)Nothing was clear at all, including the reason for making this movie. The only reviewer's quote to appear on the DVD cover box was from George Romero. Not exactly objective.I'm assuming that this was baby Romero's first attempt at film making. He gets a B minus for effort, and a slap on the back for a "better luck next time kid," if there is a next time.

After breaking down on a less-traveled road, a group of young adults camp out at a farm in the late 1960s. But the property owners are a sinister lot, and their mentally challenged son has no qualms about doing some despicable things to them in exchange for some money.This is my first encounter with director Cameron Romero, son of the legendary George Romero. I can't say it was the most impressive way he could have been introduced to me. While it had some decent moments, and what could have been an interesting subplot, the film came off as confusing, slow at times, and somewhat derivative.I have seen the plot about a gas station attendant who leads a group to a dangerous house more than few times. I'm sad I had to see it again. There was some sort of story about skin grafting that went over my head... maybe because I found it hard to pay attention, or maybe because it fit in very loosely with the story. And the lack of nudity, while not a deal breaker in itself, condemned this "unrated" film to be not just boring but unredeemable for salacious horror fans.Perhaps the biggest mystery is the film's time setting. If I had not read the box, I wouldn't have made the connection that this film was in the 1960s. Modern clothes were evident, and despite the family watching riot footage, it could have been an old program. Why the year matters to the story is beyond me. Sure, it eliminates the problem of ubiquitous cell phones... but what else? The film's one quote on the box has George Romero saying this is "as scary as it gets". If the only person you can get to endorse your film is your father, you may not be ready for the big leagues yet.
