I've always said that I can watch any horror film and enjoy it, no matter how bad. This film changed that fact! It's hard to believe that a film that involves Christine-like talking cars, fridge monsters made of bacteria and spooky robot boyfriends could be so tedious! I thought the last story, although very, very obvious, was the best of a bad bunch. The car story was just terrible. Also, what the hell has the bus journey go to do with the price of fish??? It seems just like a meaningless link between the stories that could have easily been elaborated and bettered. The acting wasn't the worst I've seen but the stories were simply not believable. Who, after being kissed by a gruesome fridge-bacteria monster, slaps their boyfriend and walks out calmly?! Anyway, not worth the £1.25 i spent on it from the Works stationary shop!
This is one of the worst horror film I have ever seen and I always go for the underdog B-movies but this was even too terrible for me. A group of 80's 'tough-guys' meet their commupence when the nerd that they always pick on uses a 'horror-scope' phone-line to gain evil supernatural powers. The nerdy Hoax becomes a demon and goes out to kill the group of 'tough-guys' who have bullied him.
There are a few things that I don't understand about this film. The first is that Hoax is supposed to be in his twenties but he acts like his is about 13. Are we supposed to believe that he has something wrong with his brain which makes him act like a child? Also, what the hell were the death scenes all about? The only good one was when Hoax killed two of the bullies by pulling out their hearts. The worst was by far the spider out of the box of cereals death which was just not scary by a long-shot!
I would have thought that the man who plays the scariest and most haunting character of all time, Freddy Krueger, would know how to scare his audiences and this film would have surely left a scare on his reputation. After watching the film, there seems no reason to make a sequal and yet they did! For some bizzare wish to waste money on terrible effects and even more terrible actors, they made a sequal! One question, why???
All in all, a bad horror movie which seemed more like Home Alone than a film directed by Freddy himself. 2/10
