Cinematic excrement, 1 May 2008
1/10
Author: movieman_kev from United States

Years after a series of unexplained murder shuts a boarding house down, James, a practicing telekinetic, inherits the house and re-opens it to let some nubile young ladies movie in. But the murders begin anew. Originally made as a comedy, but edited as a straight horror film, this is one ungodly terrible movie, no matter what the genre. ANY film that can make both Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and Manos look like Shakespere in comparison definitely has a few weak points to say the least. Absolutely dreadful dialog, atrociously wooden acting, & mind-blowingly bizarre direction all conspire to put this flick atop the dung heap of cinema. Yet as awful as this movie is (and YES it really IS that bad), Code Red does a great job with the DVD.

My Grade: F

Code Red DVD Extras: Introduction by Writer/ Director John Wintergate; Commentary by Wintergate & Kalassu (moderated by film historians) Lee Christian & Jeff McCay; Interviews with Wintergate and Kalassu; 2 original trailers for this film; and Trailers for Sole Survivor, Nightmare, Can I do it till I need Glasses?, the Dead Pit, & the Chilling
