Let's get this straight...


I don't know where to start with this movie, but I had to get a few things off my mind after watching it.

The blood in this movie consistently looks like slightly watered down paint. I know the budget was small compared to today's standards, but if there is going to be that much of it, make it realistic.

I love how the girl COMPLETELY ignores the dog's GLOWING RED EYES when she first finds him. Yeah, that would definitely make me take the dog right home.

I can't remember the characters name, but why did he want revenge on the guy who tried to save him? The guy who told the other guys to back off and even thought about trying to get his gun to stop it. Bones says he should have died with him, but given Bones was already going to die, he tried to stop it AND he had a gun to his head... Bones is just being a vengeful dickhead. It didn't seem he was blaming Pearl...

Nonsense Suspense. When they climb up the elevator shaft and Patrick is the first one out, he goes face first into the plastic or plasma...whatever it is they have to push though. Now watching the movie you think it's some ghosts or another person emerging from a "death wall". Instead it's just them... Yeah I always go face first trying to push through stuff too... Pretty weak.

If Pearl knew it was the blood on the dress that was keeping him alive in the physical world, why would she burn herself up? Didn't she think to take the dress off first, before burning it? Maybe she was sacrificing herself as the only person left alive tied to the murder. Maybe she wanted to be with Bones again on the other side. Neither really makes sense, so I guess she just wanted to commit suicide.

Lastly, were they feeding the dog raw meat. Who does that? Go buy some *beep* Iams or something.

My favorite part of the movie was when Bones was carrying around Mack's head and he was talking *beep* Too bad this is listed as "horror/crime" and not comedy.

definately more of a low budget comedy than anything horror...gawd i love those. But apparently according to the flashbacks he had once he was ressurected, the only thing he remembered was being stabbed period, nothing else. I guess all he remembers was their faces over him as they stabbed him.

what's the crime officer?...ridin dirty?

In regards to Pearl I think she wanted to die with him. It seemed like she would have the first time but the only reason she didn't was because she was pregnant. I kind of think, with the talking heads, that they were going for a Tales from the Crypt feel to it. Which is kind of what Hood of Horror reminds me of. Just my take on it. Not sure about the rest but I would definitely take home a black dog with glowing eyes! :)

I love fake blood. I think it's more fun to watch.
