Summary: Cut DOESN'T make the cut!
Review: I got this solely because I LOVE Molly Ringwald. Normally, she can pull off impossibly droll or stupid movies, just by lending her talent. But "Cut" is one of those that even Molly couldn't save and it just tortures you with its horror rip-offs and cliches. If given a choice between getting into a tank full of venemous snakes or watching this movie , even with my severe phobia, I would choose the snakes. This movie deserves 0- stars but they do not have a rating that low so I am forced to give it a 1.

Summary: [Bad]
Review: I liked Molly Ringwald, but this was one of the worst movies she could've possibly have chosen to star in. The story was unconvincing and not scary at all, and it had absolutely no point. I only remember waiting for it to be over, so I don't remember the ending. I wish Molly Ringwald hadn't been in this movie.

Summary: Finally a great horror movie!
Review: I live in America. Sadly, I had to wait a year to see this movie. I can tell you, it was well worth the wait. I've heard this movie compared to Scream. Wrong. This movie does something totally different. It brings the 80's slasher back to us in a very hip way. The soundtrack and great directing make every scene feel as if you are watching one long music video, and this isn't a bad thing at all. Plot: Molly Ringwald comes back to Australia to finish a film called "Hot blooded". As she and a group of film students start work on the movie, a killer appears and starts knocking off people(huge body count by the way). First, I'd like to say that, as mentioned by some people, this the same kinda plot such as in Urban Legend 2, Scream 3. Guess what? They ripped off Cut's plot. Cut's concept was invented years ago, but setbacks kept it from being made right away, so the American movie people got a chance to steal the idea and basically screw over Cut, ruining any chance of it coming to theatres here. Yes, American movie studios, I shall get my revenge. Back to the movie...it's not SCARY...it has suspense. It doesn't try to be scary though. It takes a different approach. It's one of those movies that let's the audience in on the secret, such as, you see the killer coming up behing someone, but the person on screen doesn't see him. An example of this is where they are filming a scene of "Hot blooded". They think the man in the killer suit is an actor, but it is the REAL killer, and it just so happens it is the scene where he is supposed to murder main person he is after. That kind of scene really builds suspense. But suspense isn't all that is here. This movie is beyond hillarious. It is so campy, and it has fun with it. Molly Ringwald has the best role, and best lines. She's my favorite acctress, and I'm proud to say she does a great job in this. She is the witchy/snobby has-been who thinks she is a huge star. She really hams up the screen when it's time for comedy, then when it comes to suspense, she becomes an amazing heroin who will do anything to survive. It's that kind of great range that always keeps you guessing what will happen next...if you will be laughing, or screaming.

Summary: DOESN'T QUITE CUT IT !
Review: I rented the movie Cut at my local Blockbuster not expecting much at all,but I thought the movie would be watchable at least,it wasn't. First off the movie starts out the same way as Scream ,something left on the stove and a killer calling the house saying "now you die" and then appearing in the house next with ubber garden sheers. Later we learn that this is a movie that is being made and the director gets killed,then years later the same actors try to finish the film. An interesting story but very poorly acted and executed. With little lack of originality or flare that makes this movie sink just like most teeny horror films these days(Scream,I Know What You Did,Valentine,Urban Legend,Soul Survivors etc...)and in addition the accents sometimes are hard to follow and pretty amatuer acting. I CAN'T SAY I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS

Summary: Ewww... It's horrible
Review: I was at my local video store and i ran into CUT. The movie seemed interesting so i rented it. First of all the concept was interesting, a cursed movie, whomever tries to screen or finish the movie dies. The characers in the movie are very two-dimensional which translates into not caring who lives or dies. The killer eliminates them in very boring ways with very little imagination or even suspense. Molly Ringwald was ok her character(a washed-up actress,how appropriate) had only one setting (bitchy). The fabulous Kylie Minogue had a great cameo unfortunatly she was eliminated too soon. In conclusion i would not recommend this movie its very dull and uninteresting, a great concept that was poorly executed.

Summary: Excellent addition to the slasher horror genre
Review: If you liked any of those 1980's slasher films like "Friday the 13th," "Halloween," or "A Nightmare on Elm Street," then chances are you will like this one as well. The film may be quite modern, but it does not stray too far from its influences.This movie is trendy at times (like "Scream"), but overall sticks to what it does well--being really creepy. I can't recommend this movie to horror fans enough. Check it out. A+

Summary: Cool flick
Review: In 1985 a movie called Hot Blooded was being filmed but when the director is murdered by one of the actors the preduction closes down. 12 year later a group of film students hear about the movie and deside they want to finish it for their project. They hear a curse that surrounds the movie that basicly when ever someone has tried to finish it before, they end up dead. Not listining they track down the movies original star who was also attacked by the killer on set but turned the tables on him and killed him. She doesn't want to go back to set but does anyway. As soon as the students start filming they start to dissapear in gory fasion, it seems the killer is back. Cut is a truly great movie that deserves to be up there with Scream instead of going straight to video everywhere. It's probably one of the only Australian slasher films out there and like most Aussie horror there is buckets of blood. The charicter development could of been alot better, most of them I couldn't even remeber there names. The killer is cool, I loved when you found out who he was in the ending a bit of a surprise. His weapon was wierd it was a modified pair of ardin shears, I loved the line "it's not a knife officer, just a pair of gardin shears, slightly modified so I can do interesting things with it, like chop heads off". Another cool thing was that this starred 80s teen queen Molly Ringwald as one of the leads. Cut also has some humor to it and most of it works, to even it out there are some chilling scenes and gruesome kills. Cut is cool, rent it.

Summary: Molly and Kylie CUT the rest to shreds...
Review: It seems as though CUT has been marketed incorrectly in the USA, because, as any Aussie will tell you, this is actually a spoof on horror flicks... it has a dry australian wit/humour style to the movie... combining both slasher scare tactics and laughs... Molly Ringwald is perfectly cast in this role as the arrogant american actress/goddess - which we love to take the ... out of in oz. Kylie Minogue (Australia's hottest export for over 15 years... not just since a cameo in Moulin Rouge) does a great job in the role she portrays... it's definately worth a look, but dont take the story line too seriously, as it is a "camp" look at slasher films, with an aussie bent.... if you dont find it funny, then try and check out other great aussie classics, and compare.
