Summary: Campy Horror At It's Best!
Review: Now the main reason many of you would hear about this movie would most likely be because Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth has a prominent role in the film (it's ok that is how i heard about it too). Furthermore, the rest of the band has cameos throughout the movie too, but that is beside the point. Let it be said that this film has a lot of blood and guts, which is just grand! However, some of the dialogue and acting seems quite cheesy, which could be the desired effect. Either way, if you enjoy campy and gore-filled horror flicks, then this movie is right up your alley. It is certainly worth the money, as the comes in just a few seconds under 2 hours in length. The story is decent one to follow, and this movie is good if you want to have a fun romp through murder and mayhem without having to do too much thinking. I will say this though, and this is purely my opinion only: this movie is not all that scary (maybe its because im desensitized beyond redemption). If you're looking for a horror movie that will actually scare the life out of you, i urge you to look elsewhere. However, as i said before, if you want a good time filled with lots of blood, and at times, some really funny and corny dialogue, then this movie is for you! Either way, i found it to be pretty enjoyable, and deserving of 5 stars for being such an underground effort with a limited budget.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: How low budget horror should be done
Review: OK, I am a COF fan so I may be a bit biased, but this is a pretty good(and gory as hell) film that will fit into your horror collection nicely. Taking a cue from "Creepshow", it follows 4 different stories that all have one basic connection, that being "the man"(Dani Filth). Apparently all of the stories victims have relatives that have imprisoned some crazy child murderer so to extract his revenge he calls upon the man - chaos and carnage ensue.

While this is low budget, it is far from the junk I have spent my money on in the past. I mean it's uncanny - the plot makes sense! It's not boring! The F/X are well done! It doesn't pull any punches either!

I wish Hollywood would take a cue from this movie and start making horror movies with umm, "round things" again.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: No where near worth the price. Should be, like, $5 on DVD!
Review: OK, I'm an avid Cradle of Filth fan, so I thought it would be cool to see Dani Filth in a horror movie. I knew it would be cheesy! That was no surprise. The story line had some potential, but the movie was executed so incredibly poor that the movie is just rubbish. Sorry lads, better luck next time. Dani wasn't even that bad, the movie was just terrible. Some of the actors were laughable in their performance! However, the girls are all really hot and have nice....FEATURES, I'll say! ^_^ Also, the DVD might actually be (somewhat) worth buying if it was priced at, say, $5?! Anyway, hopefully Dani will choose a better movie to be in, if he ever does one again. Apologies to all those who want this movie to be good (I know I did), but "sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well....it eats you!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: for cof die hard fans
Review: several things about this movie...if you are not a die hard cof, fan there's a good chance you wont like this. Alex chandon has worked with them several times on videos such as her ghost in the fog, from cradle to enslave, and has helped in other videos, and dvds. I loved this particularly for the all around underground feeling to it. If you are interested in it: "dont have pre-assumptions about it, keep up with cradle of filth, and alex chandon". That would be my advice to any one thinking about buying this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest Movie Ever
Review: The goriest, greatest underground movie ever. Simply fantastic, especially with a low budget. The movie had absolutely everything I have ever wanted in a horror movie, plus the vocalist from my favorite band!!!! What more can you ask for?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: great for all the wrong reasons.
Review: This film is a piece of trash, and thats why I loved it. As a fan of Cradle of Filth I enjoyed it immensly as i got to see Dani trying to act. And i do mean trying as the acting in this film is beyond S#!t, but thats what makes it great. The special effects are nice and dodgy, lots and lots of blood everywhere.
Its actually a shame that the acting is a bit dodgy as one of the story's is brilliant.
the story in question is the story about the sick room and this is pretty much essential even if you dont like horror. It is writen brilliantly and Chandon deserves all the praise in the world for writing a story like this.
The soundtrack on this film is great too as Black metal and electronica are mixed together to produce a nice piece of ecclectica.
the bottom line is if you are a fan of any of the following: Cradle of Filth, Horror, old video nasties, trash culture or just fun then get this film. You dont need to own it but try and see it at least.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: alex chandon is amazing
Review: this is one of the mose entertaining horror movies i have seen in quite a while. i love alex chandon and i love this movie. he has such an amazing way on portraying things.

chek em out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Great GREAT Movie!
Review: This movie is everything I thought that it would not be. And the first thing I thought it would not be, is good. I thought "Musician+Movie=Bad thing" once I saw "8 Mile"(which sucked BTW!) But Cradle of Fear, Hell I'll tell ya, It's actually quite a good movie for a low budget one, with an awesome plot. The story is about a commited child killer and cannibal who used to work as a hypnotist. But this killer secretly was killing children at his shows by subliminally giving them commands to do his bidding, then he killed them. He was caught, and eventually imprisoned and thrown into an asylum. Here he dwells in an asylum, going mad. He calls upon "The Man" (played by none other than Dani Filth) to kill those who have wronged him by having him imprisoned. This is where the FUN begins in the movie. The Man ends up killing the series of people in many frenzied gory ways, only to die by having his head blown in half in the end. We then discover that The Man is actually the son of the child killer cannibal, whom also "dies". Then the actual ENDING...MAN I'LL TELL YOU IT RULED! Never would have expected THAT to happen. I wont give it away, but the end was simply amazing and a huge huge shocking suprize.
The only thing this movie really lacks, is better graphics in the gore. I mean, you can tell when Dani Filth is ripping a guys head apart in the begining, that It's totally fake. A better more realistic gore scene is when the "baby" bursts out of the woman. And then, the final gore in the movie where Dani stabs and slices and slits a few people to shreds.
All in all, this movie deserved way more than just 5 stars, it deserves 100!
GREAT JOB CRADLE OF FILTH, AND GREAT JOB DANI FILTH MOST OF ALL, YOURE A GOD OF HORROR AND BLACK METAL!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: this movie is utter rubbish
Review: this movie is the worst film of this genre i have ever seen, bbc horrors are cool, but this is a peice of white trailer park trash gore horror flick. the storyline is stupid, and the movie turns to worthless gore for cheap thrills. actually after watching this film i contemplated never watching another new horror movie in my life again.. what a complete WASTE OF TIME. dont bother.. instead go and seek out classic italian and american horror from the 60s and 70s..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally amazing
Review: This movie was totally different than I thought it would be, but it is very great. This movie is a total gore-filled, blood drenched horror flick. This movie revolves around 4 separate stories that all relate together which I think is an interesting concept. The best story by far, however would have to be the story that involves "The Sick Room". The shocking ending is amazing, and the gore is top notch. I can honestly say this is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen. Dani Filth is simply a god, simply a god. I would like to see him in more horror movies of this caliber, maybe even one with a higher budget that could possibly get released in theatres? Not likely, but it could happen. HAIL BLACK METAL AND HORROR
