Watch Aunt Rose For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This movie is very low-budget, and whoever said that the naked chick's breast were a turnoff is either a gay male or a female. The scene in which the two twisted lovers cut the girl's breast implants out is one of my favorites. Besides the nudity, the plot was really good: a band of murderers hide out in the house of a family that they take hostage, but they wind up being terrorized by an old woman who can't get out of bed. There is a shocking ending, which answers the question of why there is always footsteps coming from upstairs when the old lady cant walk. I recommend this movie to anyone who pays more attention to plot than special affects. The movie does appear to have been shot with a hand held camcorder, but it's worth seeing.

My wife has a knack for renting these type of extremely low budget horror movies. So I have seen a fair share. At first I though "here we go again, at least I will get to bed at a decent hour." Well the start of the movie was, well... bad. I was ready to give up on it when it took a sick twist. Which sparked my interest for another few minutes. Although poorly acted by a majority of the cast two or three sorta put the rest on their shoulders and waded through some really, really bad dialog. Here is where I give the movie credit. Somewhere down the line I actually wanted to watch the thing to the end. And felt the need to see what happened. So, to me they accomplished something. Like a said most of the time I will give up on these things after 15-20 minutes. Granted there are times watching this movie where you will just shake your head, but gosh darn it, its worth a watch, if your extremely board with nowhere to go, and about an hour and a half to kill.

I don't know what that other reviewer was smoking, but this movie is not just bad, it's dreadful. I have watched possibly every low-rent, low-budget horror movie that has ever been produced, and this ranks among the worst. It was only out of a sort of train wreck curiosity that I continued watching this movie after the first five minutes. The acting is awful, just completely rank in the most amateurish fashion... not to mention being subject to seeing a very unattractive woman expose herself to the camera. Look, I realize that overseas markets really go for breasts, but let's be honest here -- do we really want to see that? The entire film is just a disaster, from start to finish. It's amusing enough for the completely D grade cheesiness of it, but if you're looking for a good horror movie, this just doesn't measure up in any way, shape, or form.

As far as low budget independent horror movies go, this one is pretty good. Its clear a lot of love went into it, and its shortcomings all seem more due to financial constraints than any lack of talent (its limited locations, with nearly no establishing shots is amongst the easiest budget indicators). The characters (some acted much better than others) are all unique, and for once, not carbon copies of every other horror cast out there. Great dialogue ensues, and a great deal more character depth than most horror fare treats us too (those are good things, if you want mindless splatter, steer clear, this one actually has some depth to our pro and antagonists) While much of the movie is left in the dark (why are the psychos on this current run from the law, and why do they draw even more attention to themselves by killing friends and family along the escape route?, why is Aunt Rose a magical old hag, and why has no one ever stumbled on her monstrous son in their own home?) Long story short, great writing, decent (and sometimes great) acting, decent fx and bloodshed, couple pairs of really decent tits, and a lot more character driven story than the vast majority of DVD horror out there. The DVD itself is kinda dry, a dull behind the scenes feature with a few cute crew moments, and a few of the cut special effects, some deservedly deleted scenes, and nothing else. No trailers, no interviews, no commentary, but still definitely worth the rental.
