Some crazy Tracy

This second movie had many more brilliant moments than the first, in general the movie had the scares put in the right places and the plot was a bit more plausible. Although I must say that some of the actors were horrible, I as a man hate to say this about a lady but one girl in particular, the one that played the role of Tracey, showed all of us that she is more suitable for another profession. I can't tell which one but I know it is not acting. Please stay in college and out of the screen. She seemed nothing more than a spoiled brat to me.

thanks

Tracy seemed all right. I thought she did a fair job. Do you not like her personally? That's what it sounds like. From the sound of your "glowing" comments regarding the rest of the film, it certainly seems to be the case. It seems like such a strangely personal attack. You look at her, and you think prostitute? Sounds like someone's got an axe to grind.

Hey filmmakers, stop pimping your own movies on the imdb boards... Its insulting for the people who shell out money to see them.

I don't know if allegromarcato knows Julia Pickens personally or not, but I'm going to guess that he doesn't. If he did, he would not have called her a spoiled brat. Anyone that knows her personally will tell you that she is a sweetheart. Maybe he meant that her character was a spoiled brat. Even still, it came across as a personal attack, one that she did not deserve.

As for her acting in the movie, everyone is entitled to their opinion. It should be noted that both B-Independent.com and Slasherpool praised her performance and wrote that she has a ton of potential, so not everyone thinks that she should quit the whole acting thing. I personally think she did a great job.

I agree. I'm sure that they were talking about her performance. Why else would they say such a thing? And freshvince is right about the opinions, too. Anyone who reads the reviews will notice there are 2 good ones and 2 bad ones. Take it with a grain of salt.

I thought she was fantastic! She has natural talent no doubt! She made me believe her character. She has natural beauty as well, very attractive. I have no doubt she could be a famous scream queen or A-list star in a couple years.
I say she should keep up her acting and persue a career in the movies.

oh yeah and Seregono was good too! Especially in the bar dance scene. I enjoyed most everyones performance.

I know Julia, Steve, and Vince personally. As for this bizarre and outlandish attack on Julia as a person and as a performer, I am quite confused.

Where within the film did she seem like a brat, a whore, or whatever it is you are calling her?
When was the last time you spoke to her, personally? Oh, never? That's what I thought.

They are all three very talented actors. If the writing, directing, etc. isn't A+, that reflects on the actor. The actor is what you ultimately watch, so you concentrate choices and errors in the whole creative and production process on the individual actor. I have worked with Julia and Steve in the theatre and am very familiar with Vince's excellent work. They are also three very amazing, funny, and down to earth people.

Shut up, you don't know what you're talking about.

P.S. Vince can REALLLY dance that well.

Actually, I thought Tracy was the best thing about the movie. Her performance was both convincing and powerful.

I saw the movie and honestly didn't think the movie was that good. I also didn't think tracy's acting was so spectacular either. I thought acting was supposed to be based on real life. The scene where she cuts her wrist and doesn't scream or flinch from it? Come on!!! Cutting yourself hurts. Plus when you stab yourself in the stomach, that's really gonna hurt!!!! I didn't see her show any sign of pain ( aren't scream queens supposed to scream?????). So if you don't believe me when I say this, try cutting yourself or stabbing yourself and see if it doesn't hurt. If it doesn't then you can write to me and tell me I WAS WRONG!!!!! Does that seem fair......

Well I wasn't involved in the movie, but I have done some work in the bussiness and I have to tell you if she didn't scream or flinch in pain it probalby wasn't her choice, it probably was a directors choice...which means he asked her not to scream or flinch in pain.

I'm as confused as everyone else. For a low budget movie, the girl who played Tracy was fantastic.

[–] mrs_m_norris 17 years ago

She did a great job. They all did, except for the dad. I thought he sounded like he was just reciting lines. He did make me laugh though.

Her character is a teenager--a lot of teenagers act like that! Plus, look at her character's past! I thought she played the role very well.

Ok, I'm not sure what the big discussion was all about here, but honestly NO ONE in the movie is THAT good. No one is good enough to move on the the big screen, at least not without work.

[–] Billybob-Shatner 18 years ago

I thought Tracy's dad was spectacular.

I thought Tracy did a good job for a low budget HORROR movie. You don't even always see acceptable acting coming from a-list stars in big budget hollywood productions, so what do expect from someone in something like this?

Overall I thought Tracey was beliveable.

tracey and laura kove were the only two that u could pass as acting..if u dont think tracey can act...look at the horrible job her dad did..HE WAS HORRIBLE!
