Watch 100 Tears For Free

So much average

A different way of telling a story

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

"100 Tears" is a suitably dingy and sickening slasher flick, which at an estimated budget of about $75k, is at least a wonder of frugality.Yes, $75,000 can pay for gallons of blood, viscera, and artificial limbs.What money cannot buy, however, is a decent story, something you either have or you don't. Or characters. Or perhaps, even cohesive direction, which may be an innate gift some have and some don't.The story - not that anyone cares about story in a movie like this - is about a serial killer clown and two obnoxious reporters, one of whom looks like Alex Jones, who track him down where the police have failed because they know how to use a computer and the police don't.The introduction of the clown, shockingly violent though it may be, is handled so witlessly by the filmmaker that it is hopelessly undercut. We see one of the reporters looking at a computer screen and talking about a serial killer on the loose, and then the movie cuts straight to a series of brutal killings by our Bozo. The way this is shot makes it look like the reporter is watching the killings unfold on the computer monitor. They aren't. Some fairly cursory editing could have achieved the effect of having us realise we are witnessing the murders the reporter is describing. This would have provided a sense of mounting dread as we are let into information the reporter doesn't know, and we know they probably wouldn't try to chase up the story if they know what we now know. Get it?Instead of quick cutting from the description of the acts to the violent crimes, as the filmmakers obviously should have done, we get a lengthy scene introducing 'characters' who exist only so that they can be killed, and their introduction grinding the film to a halt - a halt it finally comes to at around one hour into the proceedings, where I was so bored I mostly stopped paying attention.I have put more effort into writing this review than the screenwriters did in writing the movie. But, yes, they really went to town on the gore. One early scene shows a person's head split multiple times by Bozo's big meat cleaver, until the head looks like a pinecone. If you're after sickening, over-the-top gore produced on a microbudget, I guess you already know where to look. Just don't expect anything else.I would like to add, however, that the bad-guy, Gurdy the Clown, is actually scary. Much more so than almost any other slasher villain in any movie made for over one hundred times the budget that this one was made for.

100 Tears (2007) ** (out of 4) Two journalist want to break away from their tabloid trash so they decide to start investigating a serial killer. It turns out this killer is a clown who is still seeking vengeance over being accused of a crime he didn't commit. What the journalist don't realize is that there might be someone else helping.100 TEARS has a minor cult following among certain horror fans that want to seek out low-budget movies that have incredibly gory special effects. If you're looking for a Hollywood type of horror film then you'll certainly want to stay away from this thing but if you're looking for a type of film that rarely gets made any more than director Marcus Koch's bloodbath will have you smiling from ear to ear.It should go without saying but the main draw is going to be the special effects, which have people being slaughtered in a variety of ways with all sorts of blood and guts being splashed around. People are chopped in two. Others are decapitated. Some are lucky and only have legs and arms chopped off. Bodies are gloriously mutilated in countless ways here and the practical special effects are certainly a breath of fresh air when you consider that CGI has taken over Hollywood and even direct-to-video material. The effects aren't always believable but it's still fun seeing actual work in front of your eyes. Without question if you're a gore fan then this is a film for you.The story itself isn't all that original but at the same time I liked the fact that they tried to tell a story and didn't just go for all gore. With that said, the film runs about twenty minutes too long so some editing would have helped things. I thought Georgia Chris was good enough in the lead role and Joe Davison adds some nice laughs as well. Jack Amos makes for a good killer and Raine Brown also does her role justice.100 TEARS is a gory, blood and ultra-violent film that fans of such films should enjoy.

I often go to Germany. There are some interesting labels that release horror DVD's. X Rated is one, famous for their hard boxes and other labels bringing out full uncut versions with beautiful covers. Those covers really work, sometimes they are more violent than the movie itself but here with 100 Tears it isn't. Somehow the movie is connected with Germany. Raine Brown appeared in Barricade, a German splatter. Most of those German splatters are only released in the US. Whatever the circumstances may be concerning the relation between the two countries. This one sure delivers the gory stuff. It's splatter from start until the end. The only let down are the parts with the midget, to much blah blah but it is necessary to tell the story about the clown. Not all acting is convincing luckily they are brutally killed. Some say the ending is a bit weak but for me it wasn't. The relation between father and daughter, you will figure it out, is maybe weak and what is happening between them too but the last minute is pure fun. If you haven't got enough the German release also has a part of deleted scene's were there is more gore to watch. And there is an alternative ending too given the opportunity for 100 Tears 2. So if you like German splatter watch it, otherwise just leave it as it is.

I loved the concept of this movie, but the low budget and half-assed acting was harsh on this title.I had a feeling going into this film that I wasn't going to enjoy it at all, but I was actually quite entertained. I would really enjoy seeing this movie remade with a bigger budget and some actors that can actually show emotion.The only showing of acting passion was from the character that played the killers daughter, she really portrayed the part well. Other than one actor, the rest of the cast was pretty slow and ineffective.All in all, I think this movie is worth the watch if you enjoy gore, but if you're looking for acting, I wouldn't waste your time.
