Rating: Summary: Kolobos; 'To mutilate' Review: A Suspiria copy in everything from music to lighting effectsbut quite good of its kind. Plus Linnea Quigley's in it and she getsshoved on moose antlers for the first time since her almost identical demise in Silent Night Deadly Night. Top stuff.
Rating: Summary: Dont Listin to these reviews Review: After reviewing the DVD version of this film, i thought i would have to review this version as well. This film was poorly put together the odd gore special effects were nothing special, they just had a large cringe factor. The acting was variable between characters mostly apart from a few exceptions were not so good. You would have to have your brain examined to enjoy this or even buy this film. Still there are a few funny scenes the girl been forced onto the antler being one of my favorites and this shows how modern films get buy the film censors now unlike a similar scene in the B-movie Zombie Flesh Eaters.
Rating: Summary: Thank God for the fast forward button Review: Because you're going to need it...quick. During the first five minutes of the film, one begins to realize what a mistake it was to even take the trouble of putting it into the DVD player at all. Although I must say that the acting was definitely not average. It was so far below average that it makes Van Damme look Oscar worthy. The highlight of the film is the house sequence, where it becomes obvious that the director actually has some friends that will loan him their home for a movie that with any luck they will never have to watch. Don't pay any attention to the reviewer above...they're one of the producers!
Rating: Summary: As good as it gets Review: For me, this is about as good as independent horror gets. Smart script, tight action, and a top-notch cast. Some viewers come down on the ending, but for me that's what made this film so perfect. Viewers may find themselves lost at times, but they'll just have to use their heads a bit. This is a thinking person's horror film where time and place are two concepts that rarely go hand in hand.
Rating: Summary: awful Review: I agree with the reviewer who advised not to rent or buy this movie. I bought a used copy because I liked the art design on the box. The acting is okay -- esp. for a low budget film, but the script [is bad]. The movie seems to be a rip-off of countless other films. And the victims being trapped in the house with a killer is so cliche! There isn't even any T & A to make it half-way appealing!Don't rent or buy this -- you've been warned!!!
Rating: Summary: Oh My Gawd! Review: I can't begin to tell you how bad this movie really is. I'm actually glad I bought it. I throw it in when I'm having parties - just for laughs. I don't think any time was spent on story, structure, continuity, dialogue, set design, and FX. It was probably written in less than a month. Low budget or not, the story and lines were so weak, it makes absolutely everything laughable. There are more holes in this plot than all the cheese in Wisconsin. In fact, there's more cheese in this plot than... you get the idea. Buy it for a good laugh. Perhaps this might become a cult classic just due to its absurdity.
Rating: Summary: I'm sorry, you're all wrong Review: I don't know wher eyou people are getting these negative thoughts on Kolobos. There aren't many genuinely creepy movies these days, and even less with enough gore. Kolobos certainly isn't perfect, but it's a whole lot better than you people seem to think. How could you people not enjoy the wonderfully done attic scene? And of COURSE the characters are a little weak, they might not have existed! The ending makes perfect sense if you think about it. The lighting scheme (a wonderfully done tip of the hat to Suspiria and Argento in general) alone is enough to watch it. I don't think most of you know what a REAL low budget movie is. Watch Redneck Zombies if you think Kolobos was super-low budget. Sheesh.

Rating: Summary: A genuinely scary horror film! Superbly made! Review: I have 'Kolobos' on video and I just keep on watching it. Yes it's a low budget film but it's great. I personally did not find it very scary but it is still a great film. The atmosphere is superb, the actors are not as good as they could have been but so what. I dont watch horor films for the acting, I watch them for the gore and the gore in this film is amazing an very well done. I think I understand the ending. It was all in her head, right? She slashed her face open because of the Faceless guy who she believes is real and her flashback story was made up. That's what iv'e come to blieve the endin is aout. Rent this film, it is great!
