A for Effort

This movie knows exactly what it's trying to do and does a pretty good job of it. It got a lot of laughs out of me, and the characters are all likable. The music is good enough, though the songwriting may be the weakest aspect, and the acting isn't the world's best but it's not trying to be Oscar bait. I just have a feeling that I'd love to hang out with the horror/musical theater needs who made this and I really enjoyed it. If you like other campy horror/musicals, give it a try. It's really fun.

Weird and boring

It occurred to me while suffering through this that maybe the people who made it thought they were making the next Rocky Horror Picture Show, something that would become a cult hit. Well imagine if Rocky Horror had been created by loads of people with no talent and you'd have this film. There are so many things wrong here, I'll start with the one positive, it was shot well, as in the photography was razor sharp. It also seemed as if the entire film were shot and then every ounce of dialogue was dubbed later, the sound was just unnatural. The songs are mercifully short and none are good. If this has a soundtrack CD you won't be buying it. While there is one actress who is actually appealing and can carry a tune, the cast here is bottom of the barrel. The entire film has all the appeal of a really badly written, poorly put together dinner theatre production. At 1 hour 40 minutes it felt much longer. Lots of boring talk trying to be witty and I didn't chuckle once. While at first I was hoping it might get better, eventually it became annoying and then I just wanted it to end already. There just is no talent here at all. I have no idea how some of these actors got their roles, but honestly the dialogue and songs are so bad it didn't even matter. At best this is worth watching as some sort of oddity, but I doubt you will do what I did, make it through to the end.

20 minute short extended via musical numbers

The story, sans, musicals, COULD be decent. The problem is it's exceptionally slow to progress because every 5 to 7 minutes there's another way-too-long musical interlude.They've basically created their own distractions by adding musical to break up any tension, comedy, suspense, etc.The audio, to me, all sounds like it's a looped 100%. As if there is little no actual live filmed audio and it was all added in post. That would make sense for the musicals (even though I disliked them) but even when characters are merely speaking to each other, it sounds looped.Meh.. I lost interest QUICKLY due to the musical interludes. Ended up fast forwarding through most of it after roughly 30 minutes and the 4th musical number.Acting was passable, not bad. And singing was good however misguided the idea was.But ultimately..... ------- PASS ------
