Summary: True to Form....
Review: I bought this one because my cousin is in it, top-billed and the only American, no less. It was shot on location in Czechoslovakia and has a lot of Germans on both sides of the camera. There are a few nice shots of beautiful downtown Prague; but otherwise it is indistinguishable from a hundred other "mad-slasher" (or, in Roger Ebert's terminology, "dead-teenager") movies. A bunch of students at the so-called "International High School of Prague" decide to spend the night after final exams at a huge swimming pool-spa complex (Aquapark Babylon Centrum in Liberec, CZ, according to the credits: looks like a fun place), where they are picked off one-by-one by the inevitable bad guy, this time in skin-tight black and a white skull mask, wielding a machete. You haven't seen so many "wandering-down-endless-corridor" tracking shots since "The Terror" with Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson (1963). Other theme ripoffs include crawling through ventilation ducts ("Aliens"), and stabbing through the walls of enclosed spaces ("Terminator II"). I'm not an expert on this genre, but I'm pretty sure all the traditional mad-slasher-movie cliches are repeated here as well. Even the obligatory bumbling police inspector makes his appearance. Heineken's beer is apparently very popular in Prague (they get a promo credit at the end), and everybody except my cousin smokes like crazy. The bad guy is ultimately revealed to be--surprise!--one of their own group, and naturally he turns out to be very hard to get rid of. My cousin kicks him in the privates, throws liquor bottles at him, sets him on fire, and cuts his throat with a broken Smirnoff bottle; and after all that, he still has to be shot. Eat your heart out, Sigourney Weaver.... The DVD case promises "brief sexuality/nudity," but it turns out to be very brief. One of the minor female characters flashes, "Girls Gone Wild" style, for about 1.5 seconds. (I was hoping for at least some good steam-bath scenes.) Don't get it for the nudity. "The Pool" is not a serious contender for any major awards. On the other hand, as I told my cousin, this is where Jamie Lee Curtis got her start. Gets two stars only because my cousin is the star.

Summary: All teenagers out of the pool!
Review: I love slasher films and will forever love slasher films, but there are some that you want to remember a little more than others. My case in point "sleepaway camp " classic and gets better more times you watch it but "the pool" on the other hand of which this is true not the worst of the slasher genre but far from the best in the crop of so many horror titles having a mask wearing pyscho.The acting not all that bad but the plot drags so much you find yourself wanting to fast forward to when the good stuff starts.This feels like any movie you have seen a 100 times before it's way to predictable and the character development is terrible even for a slasher film .It does have one memorable killing on the covered water slide but other then that not much going on here that has not been done to death and fails miserably!If this would have taken place at a public pool not even the lifeguard would have wanted to save this dud of a slasher!

Summary: Great Slasher Movie-Not so Great Motive
Review: I reanted this movie on a Friday night. I always rent good horror movies, especially slasher ones. Since i have aleady seen all there is to see (and the world is running out of slasher movies) i rented this.
The movie began with a good murder with a great mask and a very cool weapon (the mashetty (don't know if spelled right)). Also, there are plenty of teens that could be the killer, so it keeps you guessing till the very end.
This movie also has some pretty good on-the-edge-of-your-seat killer scenes, and they're all different. For example, one is in the woods, then one is in the air-conditioning ducts.
This movie was awsome, until you find that the killer's motive was kind of dull and not worthy of a mass serial killing.

Summary: Pretty high on the scale of Straight to Video Slashers
Review: I was actually suprised by this film. Many people hated it because they felt that it was just a carbon copy of Scream. Well, it is, and not a really good on at that, but, it is still fun to watch. While the plot isn't all that great (well this is a slasher film after all), it still was enjoyable enough, and set up everything for the kills. And lets talk about the kills. They are VERY extreme. Limbs are chopped off, and people are cut in half. If this movie succeded in anything, it was in being gooey. That is whats needed for a slasher film, buckets of blood. Many of the new ones forget that important ingrediant, but this one has it in gallons. Also of note is the cast. Most of which have THICK European accents. Someone mentioned them being dubbed over, but I only noticed one moment were the dialogue seemed dubbed, otherwise everyone was speaking on their own. This is good and bad. It is good because it saves the dialogue from seeming kind of seperate from the film, or to clean. It is bad because some cast members (namely one girl) are near impossible to understand at times. Eh, who is listening to the dialogue any way. For a good slasher film that really pays off in the slash department, grab this movie. If you want some deep film that delves into the human psychie, well what the hell are you looking at a slasher film for. Go rent Session 9 or something. I totatally recomend this one. Oh, and look for Mary Jane from Scooby Doe as the red head who bombs her exams. Her accent may through you off though.

Summary: 10 000 times already seen !
Review: If you already know the movies : Friday the 13th,Halloween,Scream and the thousand others that have been released since 1980, well just forget about The Pool ! There is nothing New in this movie.The story could have been written on a Postal stamp so much there is nothing to say about it.The teenagers are like usual, idiots listening typical Punk Rock music.The plot ... Is there one in it ? The (BAD) actors are killed one by one and the final survivors even if all their friends have been sliced few minutes before,they still smile and make bad jokes at the end.Avoid this movie ! Just re-watch one of the old flicks,they are funnier or at least a bit creepy.

Summary: Outrageously mean!
Review: Man,this movie is bad. This is not even a guilty pleasure, a horror flick that can make you laugh due to extremely bad production. No, none of that. This is plain mean, some of the worst that movies can "offer". In fact, it's a mystery how such useless piece of celluloid managed to: 1) Obtain sponsorship and money to produce it;
2) Obtain a distributing deal;
3) Persuade actors to accept such stupid roles;
4) Manage to be released in DVD, instead of being sheleterd forever;

Summary: Scream on Friday the 13th, Part 1000
Review: One of the most boring horrorflicks ever. All the actors are much too old and much too untalented. The plot is just a joke, the entire film is completely redundant.
