WOW! What an excellent series...This was great and I watched it all in one weekend...I first bought it because I have a huge crush on Jake Weber, but Gary Cole and a young Lucas Black stole the show. (Jake was great also)
Very chilling acting by Cole as a sketchy town sherif who seems to know everything about everyone in the town. Strange things and many deaths seem to happen when he is around. Young Caleb (Black), orphaned after his sister is murdered and father mysteriously dies is great as a confused ten year old strugling between good and evil...I'm not sure if I am going to trade these disks because this series was so good!!!! ps be warned the episodes are not in order go to idmb or wiklipedia to get the correct order, or you will be very confused...the show was not shown in order on cbs, so when they put out the disks they never checked, and its very bizzare if you do not watch them right..hope i helped someone

this movie could have been so much better...it had a great scare going with the clown thing, but it was such a let down...this movie was all over the place....there was 0 explanation for anything, don't get me wrong, I understood everything that was going on, it just was so lame most people won't or not care to figure it out

this was a great movie...real teenagers not 20 somethings trying to act like kids...great concept of kill or be killed...what would you do if you had to kill all your friends to live? hopefully the american filmakers wont try to remake this...they almost always ruin japanese and korean horror

wow! What a great movie! This movie starts off as a documentry about a man who is preparing himself to be a serial killer... He tells of how to find the perfect victims and how he finds "the one" (the girl who gets away, and can take him down). He spends days preparing and setting up his murderous plan, and even visits his mentor, a retired serial killer. Wonderful acting from all involved. The ending turns out to be just the way he planned. The reporter doing the interview doesn't realize until the end what he tells her is actually going to happen, and soon realizes that she plays an important role in his plan. A must see for horror fans! An absolute gem that nobody has ever heard of..Recomended highly!

ok I love coen brothers movies, but this was not in any way enjoyable...one or two funny parts, but not a laugh riot like most of thier other movies. Yes it made sense to me, but I still didn't like it.

Wow, what a great movie! This is a movie about gay and lesbian teens that are at a camp to be reprogramed not to be gay. It is very funny, but does tell a good story, the moral being: No one chooses to be gay, it is just who you are. If you are homophobic or a strict christian, it's not for you, or maby it is and you will finally get it! Anyway if was very fine acting, and yes there are gay/lesbian sex scenes, but it was beatifully done, just like any other straight scenes. I love the fact that the woman who runs the camp has a gay son, but she just can't see it, even though it it very obvious. Anyway, if you think I'm pushing this movie because I'm gay, your wrong, I'm not.. It was just a very good movie about a subject many people can't accept.

Run for your life, hold on to your wallet! I lasted 25 minutes through this movie. I rushed to see if some other sucker had it on their wishlist..(sorry about that friend) I am not even sure if this was a movie or some teenager filming his friend. Ranks right up there with The Rockville Slayer..Do not attempt to watch.

any gore hound will love this movie...a classic 80's blood filled horror/comedy that will have you laughing your a## off. The ending is a true classic with a man, a lawnmower, hundreds of corpses, and buckets of blood and gore..I believe this is in the guiness book of world records as the film using the most gallons of fake blood...enjoy! for true fans of cheesy 80's horror only!

ok so we all love the devils rejects, look who's in it...well it's mamma firefly, otis and captain spaulding, wow it must be good! WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear my kids could have made a better movie in my back yard! The camera work and sound were just rotten.. The acting was horrible, the plot was old and done numerous other times....I swear the lead actress covered her mouth so many times to stop herself from laughing at this movie while she was making it....thank goodness I saw it for free on fearnet or I would have paid someone to take it from me....

Very interesting ...I was quite suprised at this movie. I was expecting to see a dumb movie about about an idiot couple being chased by some monster, but actually watched a interesting movie about how rotten kids in gangs have become and how your will to stay alive kicks in. Good script with a very disturbing ending, that shows you the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree. There are some stupied moments, but what movie is perfect?

so far the best i have seen from the 2008 horrorfest...creepy, well acted, good storyline and a nice film location...when a town of bible thumpers experience a bunch of suicides they blame it on the local "witch's" teen children and try to put a stop to it...there are a lot of familar faces in this movie and I found it to be very well acted...no big breasted bimbos running through the woods, or the jerk jock everyone wants to die seen here. It's not oscar worthy, but a small breath of fresh air from the tired old drinking+sex=death slashers.

excellent movie...this is very disturbing material, but very true to life. If you can get through the first 45 minutes without turning it off because of the subject material, you will find a very put togther film..the child actors especially ryan simpkins are suberb..they were given a completly differnt script than the adults, but you really believe they know whats going on...yes it is about child rape and prostitution, but this is what happens to 300,000 children a year who are kidnapped or runaway...a sad life is all they have...

Once again a disaster film from horrorfest..Tony Todd and Bill Moseley are somewhat horror icons, (not the greatest actors), but fun to watch..This movie was horrible! I believe the casting call went something like this "pretty large boobed young girls with no acting experience" the plot was old and HORRIBLY acted..demons looking for blood, crazy people killing and a nutcase priest offering sacrifices..I think the person who paid to have this made was in a drugged induced coma when he signed the papers.. YUCK

Human centipede = human garbage! If the cast can't act then what is the point? horrible acting on all parts..The premise to make a human centipede, ok, not a bad idea, but what a rotten storyline..And the speech at the end by the "head" of the centipede was borrowed from OLDBOY..NOT COOL..Do not attempt to pretend anyone can make a movie better than oldboy..Now go upon your way and skip this movie..I hope I can save some of you before you attempt to watch it..

I have started off the new horrorfest movies with kill theory..ehhh it was ok..I have seen this all before just with different actors..I think it borrowed from Battle Royale and fell very short..The old kill or be killed premise. Some ok kills, acting wasn't that bad, but I really wasn't that interested. I hope the others are better.
