A Great DVD To Own With Two Very Entertaining Movies On It
...no real gore, no bad language to express how they were really feeling and half the story and edge gone due to editing. I was so glad to hear it was coming out on DVD and was suprised to find out that it was gonna be packaged with another movie called Terror Tract. I had never heard of it, but found out that John Ritter was in it. Ultimately, both movies are very good in different ways. Cherry Falls is a dark, sadistic slasher movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The extremely talented Brittany Murphy is in it as well as the very funny Jay Mohr who plays it serious in this one. This movie - comparable to Scream, Heathers and American Pie, will have you guessing who is killing the town virgins and why. Unlike most horror movies this movie never tires or bores and has very good acting and a very good script. It's a shame it didn't get a theatrical release, but at least the DVD isn't a butchered version like the basic cable version one was. Terror Tract reminds me alot of...
A new slant on horror.
I managed to catch "Cherry Falls" on USA when it aired on Halloween 2001. I thought it was great. A horror film that throws the rules completely out the window. We need more scary movies like this. Here's a quick synopsis: A killer is stalking and killing the teenagers of Cherry Falls, Virginia. The common link between them all? They were all virgins. The students of CFHS decide the only way to live to stay off the hit list is to lose their innocence. Cool notion, huh? The performances were great. Brittany Murphy was awesome in this completely underrated role. Michael Biehn ("The Terminator," TV's "Adeventure, Inc."), as the town sheriff, gave a convincing performance of a good guy trying to right a wronged past. Candy Clark ("American Graffiti") does a good turn as Brittany Murphy's mom. For those of you who like trivia, look for Jesse Bradford ("Swimfan") and Clementine Ford (Cybill Shepherd's daughter, "Bring It...
Would you buy a home from John Ritter?
Terror Tract...This is a quirky little horror-comedy that resignates somewhere just behind my heart...But that might be because I spent time on the set picking up cigarrette butts. And ever since those days, I have been inexplecibly running into Carmine Geovanazzio on a semi-regular basis, yet he has no idea who I am. And that's okay. ...
Carmine stars as one married girl's lover. They kill the husband and dump him into a lake directly across from the scene of all those "Crocodile" killings in what was originally titled TOBE HOOPER'S FLAT DOG. Both movies where shooting in the same place at the same time. I suggest a triple feature of CROCODILE, CHERRY FALLS, & Terror Tract...Just make sure you stretch the viewing over the course of about three years, so as to digest it all.
The main bulk of Terror Tract deals with John Ritter acting as a tour guide in a house tract. Each home comes with it's own horror story, the best dealing with a rabid monkey. This is a fast...
