the member, tom-1806 comment headline says, "Enjoy the visuals, forget the story!! An impressive debut"(fourth user comment). I noticed that on the back of the DVD for Toybox,it say's, "Enjoy the visuals....!! An impressive debut"....IMDB.com is who they quoted. Funny how they took out the "Forget the Story" part, and used IMDB, like it was an official review, when it was just some John Smith. That is sad the only person they could use was a common fans headline comment(and not the whole headline at that!!), just thought I'd share that.

I agree - I think that is rather amiss.

Shame, because the film actually picked up some very good reviews over the UK release - there was an excellent one from Empire, which is Britain's top film magazine and Time Out described it as a "future cult classic".

I found that most amusing. It is textbook blurbism(is that a word?)
At least it wasn't as bad as a blurb such as "The actress couldn't...stop with...amazing talent!"

I picked this movie up and was getting ready to put it down but read the imdb quote on the back so I figured it might be good. Boy was I had... this movie stunk!

Thanks for sharing that.

Hahahahah thats somehow WORSE than Asylum putting random things in quotes to make it look like a blurb when in reality no one but the marketing people said it.

What are tom's thoughts on this?

It's a sad thing that your adventures have ended here
