Horror Queen

Ack…

THE PLOT

A group of young, pretty twenty somethings are at a going away party for their friend Rob. At the party though a monster (or something, you don’t know it’s a monster yet) attacks the city and insanity ensues. Even though he should be running for his life, Rob decides to rescue his kind of girlfriend/kind of friend with benefits. Of course if he had just left the movie would have been a lot shorter. You know I like you and you bring someone else to my party though and I’m leaving your ass to get ate by the monster. That’s basically the point of the movie, young pretty people on the run from a big monster we never really see.

TRIVIA

The movie had two “hidden” names during filming to keep people from hearing any details: Slusho and Cheese.

THOUGHTS/OPINONS

I had to think long and hard about posting this review up on the site. Granted this isn’t your typical horror movie, but it is a modern day creature feature. If you loved this movie and I know a lot of people did, you should stop reading now and just leave because you aren’t going to like what I have to say.

This is the biggest waste of film I’ve seen in a long time and this is coming from someone who saw probably 75% of the straight to video horror movies made during the 1990s. Every single possible thing about this movie irritates me, starting with the horrible characters. They toss a bunch of young, pretty people in a crowded room and somehow we’re supposed to care about them and hope they make it out alive. I just wanted them to die and die a lot sooner than they did.

It’s clear that the use of New York City was only done for shock value. Following 9/11 anything destructive to the area would seem horrible. Would you have loved this movie so much if it was based in Los Angeles or Wichita? Had their been a single female in this movie that wore a size 6 or larger, would you have been as interested?

This is such a piece of garbage that by the time the monster appeared, I just didn’t care. I wanted everyone to get eaten so the movie would just end. There’s also the camera angles and camera work that made me want to rip my hair out. I get that you’re trying to make it realistic, but all you’re doing is making me want to smack someone.

I hated this movie, absolutely hated it. I have no desire to see it again and even if you offered me a free copy, I’d give it back to you.
