Review: Hi I'm the creator of the movie "Goth" and I just thought everyone should know I grabbed my 3 closest friends and my handi-cam and we ran around the same 2 mile radius for an hour and half to create this film!

Summary: pathetic
Review: I expected to find some part of this movie enjoyable, whether it was even the costumes, the music, the storyline, something. I found not one thing decent. It was a total waste of money, the characters were pathetic, the acting atrocious, and bored me from the beginning to the end. It was just stupid. I expected something better from Brain Damaged Films, but this ISNT it. Dont bother wasting your money buying it. Rent it first so you will save yourself the frustration I feel for having paid hard earned cash for trash like I did.

Summary: A deep exploration of goth
Review: I have viewed the entire movie called "Goth" on DVD. In my opinion, it the best reality-based independent horror film that I seen and now own. I word of caution must be said however. This film has all the the following (and then some)--- betrayal, cruelty, depravity, murder, perversion, sex, vengeance, and violence. This is not a shiny-happy people feel-good movie. The negative attributes only serves as a backdrop to the choices and decisions that the three main characters made in this film.

One of the main reasons I like this film is that it makes you think (simple as that). The film askes various questions about goth (but on different levels). What is Goth? Is Goth just music, clothes, and literature or a total and complete lifestyle? Who makes the decision as who is Goth or not? That and more.

There are some good elements to this film. For one thing, it is very character driven. This gives the film a very realistic feeling to it. Phoebe Dollar, as the Goth queen, gave a performance of a lifetime. The cinematic photography, music, script, sets, and the performances are excellent as far as the independent film standards are.

This is a Goth movie. I do not personally recommend this film for everyone. However, if you saw the movie "Requiem for a Dream", then this film pushes the envelope to a higher and deeper level.

Summary: Not Goth, but good film making
Review: I rented this flick hoping it would be a story
based on the Gothic lifesyle or scene; it was not.
But still a decent flick if you don't care about
goth content. The DVD Good Girl's don't sleep in Coffins
is a little more relevent.

Summary: Oh my goth! This was funny.
Review: I rented this movie expecting to see a portrayal of "Goth culture" in its stereotypical form (e.g. vampires, thrill killings, "embracing the darkness"), and well. . . I was right. However, me being familiar with the Goth scene (which is just music despite the claims of an angst ridden teenager), I was able to find some priceless humor in the movie. The humor doesn't apply to just the Goth scene, but any type of music scene where a large portion of its members try and make themselves out to be elitists and live their lives according to the image of whatever music it is that they're into. Goth ( the movie) can be easily described as The Doom Generation meets Training Day; except instead of the co stars (Chrissy and Boone [what the hell kind of name is that?]) struggling to make the narcotics squad, they're on a quest to be able to truly label themselves Goth, and prove to the main character - who by coincidence is named Goth - that they're not poseurs; which leads to Goth threatening the couple to take part in bad things (things that Goths allegedly do when they're together) by taunting them with the dreaded question: "What's the matter? I thought you guys were Goth?" Of course there are a few twists in this movie, but I can't figure out how to talk about them without giving everything away. It wasn't the best story in the world, but the movie did keep me entertained which is what it's supposed to do, and it had some really good industrial songs by some lesser known bands which I thought was cool. I'll just conclude my review with a few questions I have (and I'm sure you'll have) after seeing this movie: how could this be a movie about Goths if half of the soundtrack is Electronic-Industrial? How did Boone's glass refill itself with Absinthe after he clearly poured it out in the alley? And who in God's name is driving the van?

Summary: I watched it. I can't un-watch it.
Review: I rented this to watch with a group of friends, originally. We saw it in the video store, and wanted to see how awful it was. Gluttons for punishment, my friends and I are.

What we were expecting was some kind of sensationalist crap, written by someone who doesn't really know what they're talking about, trying to cash in on what seems to be the current trend. And basically, that's what this movie is. But as bad as I knew it was going to be, I didn't expect this level of awfulness. It looks like it was shot on someone's home video camera, and the script... well, read on.

"Goth" is the story of a young girl named Chrissy, who has involved herself in the goth scene of LA. Our tale begins with Chrissy and her boyfriend, Boone, heading off to a concert for some kind of Korn rip-off. There, Chrissy meets the movie's title character. Yes, that's right, there is a character in this movie named Goth. (Get ready for all sorts of puns. "Hi, I'm Goth!" "Yeah, so are we!") According to Goth, she is the most hardcore person in the scene. Everyone else is just a lame poseur. This, of course, includes Chrissy, and Goth wants to take her under her wing and show her what being goth really means.

Apparently being goth means murdering and raping innocent people for kicks and giggles. Oh, and lots and lots of drugs. Goths, says Goth, are beyond the feelings of guilt and repression that keep normal people in line. God help any 15 year old babybat whose mother sees this movie.

So, what happens? Does sweet, innocent Chrissy stop Goth? Or does she turn to the dark side and become Goth's spooky little sidekick? Do you even care? I'm sure that some of you may think that this film sounds amusing, but trust me, it isn't. It's just bad. Save your money.

Summary: This movie doesn't even DESERVE a review.
Review: Once in a while, I like to watch really bad horror movies for a few laughs. Bad as in cheesy -- the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" kind of bad. Upon seeing a few copies of the movie "Goth" sitting on the shelf unrented, I picked it up because the cover and back pointed to "cheesy trying-really-hard-to-be-scene movie that ends up being funny on accident movie." Not so.

"Goth," the star of the movie, is played by what seems like a 15 year old who just bought her entire wardrobe from Hot Topic and allowed her 10 year old sister to apply her makeup with a sharpie along with grandma's Wet and Wild eyeshadow, and also happens to have a southern accent with white-trash appeal. There's also "Chrissy" and "Boone," who are just as ridiculous looking as Goth with a persona to match.

The movie starts out when Chrissy bumps into "Goth" at a club. A club where "Erase" is playing, who sound like a Zeromancer/Korn rip-off. In fact, the entire score is provided by this wonderful 3rd rate nu-mteal band. How Goth. Rozz Williams would be rolling in his grave.

Chrissy later meets "Goth" upstairs who offers her some "white lighting," and proceeds to tell Chrissy that if she were really "Goth" she'd try some. A few minutes later, Chrissy and her boyfriend get into "Goth"s van and go on a little trip with her. The rest is just blasphemy.

The entire movie consists of "Goth" telling Chrissy to embrace the darkness (I kept a mental tally -- she said this more than 15 times in 90 minutes), drugs, orgies, fake blood, and really unconvincing horror scenes from what appears to be filmed by cheap home video camera judging by the horrible angles and constant wobbling. Not to mention horrible acting skills. Low budget? You bet. I'm starting to believe the actors were his family members and neighbors.

I applaud the director for making this movie as entirely stereotypical as possible. Everyone knows that being Goth is about being dark, wearing scribbly eyeliner and lots of black lipstick, doing lots of drugs, and having promiscuous sex!

Being Goth also requires one to want to kill themselves also, and I must admit that I got the urge to do so after half an hour of watching this movie. It was the worst movie I've seen in my entire life and for those of you wondering how bad that could possibly be -- yes, I have seen Mariah Carey's "Glitter," thank you very much.

Summary: The Gore and Music is good...
Review: The movie was ok, i like it because of the bloody scenes and the ending was quite differnt but im sure one would expect this. Some parts were stupid, I don't know where to pinpoint it. The beginning was odd. The Actors started out with an English accent and then in the club scene they were talking normally, or in an american accent.

I don't have much to say on this..the plot..is confusing in a way...Chrissy is out to get revenge on her sisters death and she has a feeling that Goth killed her sister. And Goth is showing Boone and Chrissy about the Dark life of being goth. I found the whole steteotypical thing stupid..but oh well. The music is good, i enjoyed it. Theres a lot of Drug usage and boobs in the movie so if you're into that..go for it.
