Horror Queen

PLOT

A group of pseudo-teenagers or at least older people playing teens, go to a real haunted house to stage a séance. Every stereotype you can think of is represented from the lesbian couple to the geeky film lovers to the token black guy. After faking one death to scare their friends, the teens realize that a real murderer is in their mist.

THE BAD

Notice how I didn’t use a Good section on here? Yeah, there’s a reason for that.

The description I read of this movie claimed that the film is actually a parody of a horror movie, but I don’t believe that’s true. I think the movie was made as a low budget horror film and marketed as a parody simply because it was so ridiculous.

The movie is set in the 1980s or so it would seem given the one reference to Michael J. Fox and the characters’ clothing. You get the Madonna wannabes (several actually), the guy that’s dressed like a leftover from “That 70s Show” and of course the black man in the Michael Jackson zippered coat. Oh and don’t forget the one preppy guy in his little alligator shirt.

Once you get passed the clothing and acting though, there’s nothing funny or scary about this movie; it’s just bad. I realize it was made for very little money, but I think my friends and I could make a better movie with my camera phone. It feels like the movie was thrown together very quickly and mainly made on the fly and that just doesn’t fly in my book.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Avoid this movie at all costs. I tried really hard to get through it, but before it was even halfway over I was already nodding off. It’s humorous to make fun of the movie for a little while, but that starts to get boring. I found myself fast forwarding through large portions of the movie, which is something I never do. Now I know why I was able to see it for free, because no one else would pay for it.
