Dark Carnival

Summary: Dark Carnival should be a cult classic!
Review: Dark Carnival is one of those rare no-name low-budgeters that could really make cult status. As it follows its some-what quirky characters through their escape from a haunted-haunted house one can feel the creative production atmosphere that must have gone into making this oddity. True boot-strap filmmaking and boy-next-door production ingenuity.

Summary: Dark Carnival is a bust
Review: I was so glad to see this film on DVD. I was one of the lucky few who got to attend the first audience screening of this film way back in 1993. The film was made in my hometown and the headline in our local paper stated the following at that time: "Local Film Cinematic Nightmare". So much for civic pride!

With cardboard acting, cheesy set design and cinematography that is so sub standard it makes John Russo look like Orson Welles,this feature was destined for the scrap heap (or at the very least the coveted 4:45am slot on Drive-in theater).

If you like this one seek out "Alex's Apartment" for further reaearch into the local "cinema subbasement". Thank god for DVD!

Review: If you shell out the cash for Dark Carnival, don't be surprised if you throw it out the window. The acting was horrid, the effects worse, no real point. It was a movie wandering amlessly throughout where ever bad movies go. Movie heaven maybe, but unfortunatly Dark Carnival probally went to movie hell. I love cheesey horror flicks, but this was down right a waste of time. Rent if you are curious, but don't throw away your cash on such a bad flick.
