Summary: For now it's good, but can't wait for the next...
Review: I had to watch this movie three time to fully appreciate it. I had to get past the fact that the camera work looked like you were watching a soap opera the whole time, the low budget is obvious. I had reasearched and eventually bought this movie because I am a huge fan of Cradle Of Filth and thought it would be awesome to see Dani as the main role in a horror movie, and indeed it was, though it didn't show him enough. The movie was overall well casted and acted out, though sometimes a line or two will be really cheesy, I guess that's what I was expecting anyways though, it adds some fun. You definitely get all the blood, guts and gore you want in this film and it is a purchase well made. Dani and the boys have uncovered plans to make another film, hopefully the budget is bigger for that, I would like to see him casted in something along the lines of Lord of The Rings mixed with the non stop death element of Cradle of Fear,now that would be metal. Keep the gore coming.

Summary: cradle of fear (a return to campy movies)
Review: i have been a huge cradle of filth fan since about 94,and when i learned that (dani filth) had a magor role in a horror film i became excited and hunted this movie down.
cradle of fear is a return to the campy styles of older 80's horror movies,and has enough plot twists and turns for any horror fan. this dvd is well worth the risk for any fan of b-movie horror films that may not have allready seen it.this film is recomended to people who liked movies such as (rocktober blood,trick or treat,or prince of darkness)...

Summary: "CHEERS, SOPHIE! WHERE'S MY SHARE??!"
Review: I have been collecting horror movies for quite a long time now, and I'm happy to say that London's "Cradle of Fear" is a relentless cult film that will undoubtedly offend conservative viewers and titillate the most hardcore sex fiends! A must warn you all, however, that this low-budget flick isn't perfect: the film was shot entirely on video and includes alot of soft porn dialogue, amateurish acting, and cheesy gore effects. Still, with enough blood, topless girls, and vomit to spill over the exploitation genre, "Cradle of Fear" can easily make Rob Zombie's "House of 1000 Corpses" look tame. And of course, rock screecher Dani Filth is given his first starring role. In general, this film is a black metal blood feast guaranteed to satisfy every occultist's desire for the terminally sick!
Kemper (David McEwan), a crazed child murderer and Satanic hypnotist, is imprisoned within the concrete walls of Fenham Asylum. Despite this, he calls upon his own son and follower, "The Man" (Dani Filth), to wreck havoc on society by painting the streets with blood and death. "The Man," by the way, is sort of like "The Crow," except he has supernatural powers and carries an insatiable lust for killing. Meanwhile, an embittered Detective Neilson (Edmund Dehn) is forced to investigate the crimes. As each twisted tale unfolds, Neilson becomes hellbent on destroying Kemper by any means necessary.
Story #1: Melanie (Emily Bouffante) is a sexy Goth chick who meets "The Man" in a rave club. Anticipating a hot night of passion and drugs, Mel gets more than she bargains for as her partner gives her a monstrous one-night stand. The very next day, after suffering several hallucinating images of demons walking through the city, she dies of a nightmare pregnancy as a grossly deformed child with spider legs bursts out of her stomach!
Story #2: Sophie (Rebecca Eden) and Emma (Emma Rice) are a pair of tough street girls who attempt to rob a rundown apartment. While discovering a huge sum of money under the bed, the two are suddenly attacked by a crazed old man (Al Stokes). Together, the terrified Sophie and Emma bludgeon him with a candlestick and stab him in the face with a knife. Then, Sophie murders Emma to snatch the money all for herself. As you horror fans might have guessed, both Emma and the Old Man return to life as zombies and give poor Sophie an eyeful of their wrath!
Story #3: Nick (Louise Brownsell) is a rich and greedy businessman who lost one of his legs in a car accident (undoubtedly because he and his lover Natalie (Eileen Daly) snorted cocaine behind the wheel). Determined to be a whole man again, he sinks to new lows with both a gun and a knife. He shoots Thomas (Neil Keenan), a local slob and former friend, carves off one of his legs, and forces a doctor to perform the surgery. At first, all seems well in Nick's physical therapy. However, as he takes Natalie out on a drug-infused joyride, Nick's new appendage takes a life of its own, refusing to accept its current owner.
Story #4: Detective Neilson's own son, Richard (Stuart Lang), is a computer hacker who develops a dangerous addiction to Internet snuff and porn. Knowing this was his weekness, "The Man" indirectly entices Richard with -The Sick Room-, an interactive website where members can kill their victims with an arsenal of weapons and wounds. After losing his both his job and his home to this perverse obsession, Richard searches for the site only to fall on its violent receiving end, if you know what I mean.
With cannibalism, dismemberment, and Devil imagery at every turn, "Cradle of Fear" is quite campy at some moments, although the movie overall was intended to be serious. Viewers will definitely laugh, of course, at the scene where where Dani Filth stabs a pussycat and swallows its mutilated organs in one gulp! Yes, it's THAT over-the-top! Both disturbing and fun at once, the DVD is worth the money. Get it when you can, creeps!

Summary: Stunning! But Not Shot on Film...
Review: I really really like this flick. But it is NOT a film. It is not shot on film and therefore is a very effective episodic horror genre piece shot on what looks like high definition video and digital video.
The effects are great. It has a really awesome aura about it and the gore is way over the top and fun. However, this presentation would be 100 times better shot on film. The trailer makes it look like it is in fact shot on film but when watching it the constant switching between video textures is quite annoying.
But I gotta say, the flick is really fun, gory, twisted. It would be all these things and more if it had a better score and had been filmed.
But saying all that I really love it ultimately. But I can tell that it would have scared me out of my wits had the presentation been altered.

Summary: Favorite movie since Dead Alive
Review: I strongly recommend this movie. It does have some what of a soap opera style camera thing going on at first, but gets much better throughout. There are four stories that lead to each other. The special effects are great and unique. Must see for any splatter/gore fan.

Summary: ITS GREAT
Review: I Thought That It Could Use Just A Little More Gore In It But It's Great. It Has Humour, Horror And Blood And Guts For The Sick Minded Viewers Out There. I Liked It And I Think You Will Too.

Summary: Dire
Review: I used to work at Blockbuster video and rented this based purely upon the fact it was a horror film and it had a pretty funky cover. The movie is the least scary horror film I've ever seen, the filming is utterly apalling, the acting dire and the effects more pitiful than a student film. What about the plot? What bloody plot? It's a series of random stories that they tried to splatter with as much gore as possible. And not even convincing gore. The two computer generated effects used in the film look ... there's absolutely no suspense. I even had to fast forward through a fair wack of it. I've noticed people on here saying the effects were excellent... what film were you watching? Take that scene where the car shoots across the road, it looks like the introduction to Eurotrash. And there's a really awful looking puppet in there. This is seriously, the ONLY film I have ever recommended someone not to rent throughout my time working as a video store clerk. Avoid.

Summary: 2 stars only for the blood and attempt at being gross
Review: I was being very generous when giving this 2 stars. The only reason I did is because somewhere, somehow, this movie will manage to offend some! that's a good thing! Loved the cat scene! This is far as my positives go though. This movie cost way too much for what it was: a beyond B horror movie
This wasn't just Elvira cheesy, this was border line home video cheesy. (if anyone out there thought Blair Witch's production was bad, which I liked, this is far worse). If you want to know what you will be seeing, imagine those late night TV shows on the BBC. I kept waiting for Benny hill or Monty python to pop out of the blood wake some place!!
The sound was terrible, you have to turn it way up to hear what they are saying (maybe its a combination of bad sound and heavy accents) but by the time you turn it up to hear it, a loud noise or background music will near blast your ears out (a lot of movies are guilty of this lately, however this one seems a little worse than normal.)
One other thing: this moving claims to be the goriest movie ever. Could it be that I have become so desensitized to movies I would go as far as to say this needed more gore? The gore was far apart, and there was a lot of slow spots. Be prepared to sleep on a couple of these stories, especially the last one! Plus when you finally do get treated to a gore scene, (with the exception of the first few kills in the beginning sequence) most of these are very unoriginal, and have all been done before. The latex FX are pretty sad too....

Summary: Could Have Added more money to this
Review: I've been a fan of Cradle of Filth for some time now and since I've watched their videos I kept thinking what would a movie starring the awsome charecter of Dani Filth be like? Well I didn't have to wait for very long for this to come out. Once I watched I sadly had to say I was disappointed from the first half-hour. It felt very low budget and although dani's presence is amazing the rest of the cast really [are substandard]! But once the story of the guy with the missing leg starts things start getting better. More dialogue and better actors are presented and dani's presence because better every moment. With a few nice twist and one of the best endings I've ever seen this movie prooved it was worth the wait although they could of added more production money that could have made it an A class movie!
