Cameron's Closet

Rating:
Summary: Horrid
Review: I once saw this movie seven years ago and really liked it. Hey, I was young and naive. I recently rented this movie to see it again. I was once again robbed of my money. Cameron's Closet is 90 minutes of pure boredom. The acting is horrible, the monster is laughable, the writing is unbelieveable, I could just go on and on about how terrible this movie is. Cameron is a young boy who has telekinetic powers. He then brings a demon to life through a statue his dad gave him. Then people begin to die. A detective and a psychiatrist begin to investigate. I can't begin to comprend why I liked this movie the first time I saw it. This is just one big laughfest from the start to the end.

Review: Ohh no, please Mr. Corny demon-thing, don't hurt me! This movie just seemed to really suck. While it did scare me (mainly because the only thing scary about this movie was the monster's growl, then you see the monster and feel better) it still stunk of usual smell of B-rated monster flicks. Watching such flicks is almost a hobby of mine, and I'd have to say, in a triple threat match among this monster (whose name is forgotten or not even mentioned), Rawhead Rex, and Grim (from the similarly named film), I'd say Rawhead would go all the way, but going back to the movie, It was pretty cheesey what with all the ho-hum acting, ho-hum story, and ho-hum characters. I advise you to stay away from this movie. Just ignore it and maybe it'll go away.

Summary: DULL!
Review: The movie sounded promising: a script written by the man behind the Howling, and effects from the creator of Alien, E.T. and King Kong. But, dissapointingly, the effects were the only positive aspect of the movie, although these still weren't overly adventurous. As for the screenplay, I can imagine that the novel on which it was based as having an intriguing, indepth plot. However, the movies script doesn't quite capture the intelligence of this and instead just appears silly. There is some good editing, which helps to keep the movie flowing, especially in the films closing sequences. Unfortunately this is not enough to make up for the movies obvious failings.

A horror film that wants to be taken seriously must also have an atmospheric music score to help build suspense whereas, The sound track to Cameron's Closet is laughable and very tedious.

If I am to compare the film to others then I guess it lies somewhere between (and far below) Poltergiest, the Exorcist and Carrie.

Review: This movie scared the hell outta me! When the monster roared that was a little spooky. When i saw it chaseing the guy in the end that monster ran so freakin fast it scared me soo hard cuz it was getting closer to him. the gory parts where neat. but the monster made me get a little scared after watching this! kid ages7+8+10+11 will maybe get frighten by this film. so this movie will be good for kids that want a good scare and some gore. but grown-ups might think its chessy as hell. if your still young get this! or if your older DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! buy it for the kiddes.

Summary: BORING, TACKY
Review: Watching this movie is about as much fun as having your wisdom teeth pulled. Boring and tacky even by horror standards, the only fun comes from seeing the psychic kids' future wicked stepfather being eaten by the monster that lives in his closet, hence the title. I've seen far worse, but those worse movies were more "enjoyable" than this. The following morning you probably won't remember having seen it. If only the monster had eaten this movie's negative, then we would all be spared.

Summary: Creepy chiller
Review: Young Cameron possesses some crafty telekinetic powers and inadvertantly unleashes a nasty Mayan demon...A great horror film done in a sitcomish/tvmovieoftheweekish style with a healthy heaping of late 80s style will be sure to please horror fans, and Scott Curtis enthusiasts. Never really scary, but somewhat eerie. Good sound sequences. Interesing images. Cameron is cinematic copecetic.
