Summary: Fun, Creative Schlock with a Familiar Cast
Review: A Jamaican college campus doubles for your usual LA setting and somehow, along with a familiar cast (Jill Schoelen, Tom Villard, Tony Roberts), gives this slasher a fresh look. Not too many scares, but definitly a passable tounge in cheek horror flick if there ever was one. The late Mr. Villard (One Crazy Summer) is surprisingly under-stated and brilliant in this, in my opinion, (& I have seen other professional critics take mention of this at the time of release, despite only luke-warm reviews in general), and I'd recommend this movie for his performance alone despite the rest of the (albeit, fun) camp.I own the VHS, but I'm quite sure, despite the price, the widescreen will be worth it ...

Summary: I love this movie but...
Review: Either the DVD I got is bad, or the people that re-mastered this piece, was a joke, everything is SO dark, even with my tv on maxed brightness, I own the VHS version, its alot clearer and less cut off angle wise, I was hoping the DVD was better quality because my VHS is slowly going bad, but anyways, very awesome slasher flick, not real scary though; not gorey either and no sexual stuff like you would see in a Friday the 13th flick, a little weird here and there, but really good in the end, definetly worth renting, or buying.

Summary: Pre-cursor to scream perhaps,but still pure mediocrity.
Review: I had planned to buy this flick based upon decent reviews.Thank God i rented it first. A nod to great directors, it may be. A trying horror spoof as well, but man...the acting was atrocious.Not even b-movie funny.Not even a single laugh. It has it's good points yes....but they really arent worth mentioning.It was marketed as a scary movie...not a spoof...it really doesnt work on either level. Rent it, if you are very bored and feel like wasting money. If you want to see a good spoof..rent "Scream"...if you want a fun b-movie...try "Them"....if you want scary...try "The Ring"...you want gore...try "Opera"...and last but not least...if you want a great classic...try "Halloween" Im not a harsh critic...and horror is my genre of choice...but don't blow you your cash on this.

Summary: Good, Fun Horror Flick
Review: I have always had a soft spot for this movie. What I enjoyed most about "Popcorn", is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a fun little movie, and provides some laughs and chills. And I loved the idea of an all-night horror-fest in an old theater as the setting. I also got a good chuckle at the movie titles the students run for their midnight movies; "Mosquito!" and "The Stench". As a huge fan of 50's & 60's B-movies, I got a kick out of the filmaker's tribute to a bygone era of horror. There are some unique kills in "Popcorn", very little gore, no nudity and very little language.....I still am not sure why "Popcorn" has an "R" rating? The special effects are pretty good and hold up well a decade plus later. If you are hoping for another "Halloween" or "Friday the 13th"...look elsewhere. If you just want some harmless, horror movie fun along the lines of "April Fools Day" then give "Popcorn" a try.

And I at the time was like in 3 0r 2 grade when i seen this movie i wish i still haved the tapy.

Summary: Great movie
Review: I love this movie, I think the killer is really cute (when he's not killing people). Please don't read that one girls review where she tells you the ending. Way to ruin the suspense, babe. Anyways, the possesor film (a film shown in the movie)scared me more than Popcorn, itself, did. But I must admit I'm shocked about the price. I bought the movie for about 6 dollars from a video rental store that didn't want it anymore. Well go out and rent it, or buy it (at a reasonable price.)

Summary: who says bad can't be good?
Review: i remember seeing 'popcorn' when it first came out and i was just an impressionable kid -- i loved it! and i still do, even now. this movie is clearly a nod to those die-hard horror fans but it is also a nod to one of the 'great' horror directors, william castle. despite some lame acting -- a few dumb characters -- and some glaring continuity errors, 'popcorn' is a wonderfully bad horror film (that feels totally 80's despite being made in '91. watch for some '80s safe sex commentary from the leading lady! classic!) 'popcorn' does feature a very cool killer -- with a sense of humor reminicent of freddy (from 'nightmare... #3') and clearly a pre-cursor to the killers of 'scream.'.... hmmmm almost makes you wonder if wes craven was involved in this film.....

Summary: Popcorn DVD
Review: I remember seeing this on VHS years ago and renting it several times over the years. I finally got arouns to buying it on DVD and was not disappointed. The movie is in widescreen and the sound is good, albeit not spectacular. The film shows some graininess and lines at times in the DVD, they probably could have found a better master copy, but oh well it still beats VHS. The extras aren't many, just a trailer and quite a few TV/Radio spots. But if you're looking for this movie on DVD i would definately recommend it for the fan. Whatever happened to Jill Schoelen anyways?!?

Summary: a bit stale
Review: I wasn't all that thrilled with this movie about a unknown killer plaguing a newly opened theatre and taking the faces off his victims.Mostly because the killers performance was kinda corny. The movie is ok I guess you just need to be in the right
mood to tolerate it.Some good scenes like where Tony Roberts
gets skewered by the remote control mosquito
bleah...
