Road to ...

[kosmasp · 5/10 · 13 April 2021]

Another one of the not as bad as the rest I saw - from a bunch of low budget titles that is the other day. This has a psychological element and the tension is there. What is real, what isn't and what is that beautiful main character thinking. You may be cursing the either the camera or the character for only showing us her back whenever she changes her top, but the movie would not have been better with nudity in it (though you may feel free to disagree of course).

That being said, she does not have a wide range wardrobe wise and is more often than not in her panties. Which is logical at night time when she tries to sleep. Her looks aside, it is the story though that is enticing and that will keep your attention up throughout. A decent effort, that could have been better, but does not really make the best of its potential.

I didn't want this

This is an Atlanta low budget horror film with a familiar twist. Kendall Summers (Zoe Myers) is a near "B" actress who wants it all. She is moving into a fine home in what appears to be Smyrna, i.e Julia Roberts old home. She treats too many people like dirt, but still has a core of friends. Things happen in the house that implies a haunting.

It you notice the alarm clock, it is 2:58 AM when she lays down and moments later it is 2:44....then she wakes up at 4:42 in the afternoon. Is this by design or just a screw up. At about 29-30 minutes into the film, Kendall opens the door. There is a shadow in the scene next to her that slowly backs off. Stage hand or by design? Later Kendall sees a shadow, but not the same one. The directer/ script writer Chase Smith plays a "crappy" director and script writer in the film. Kendall reads the script at home and it is what has happened to her, she makes no connection. I did like her Foxers, although Zoe Myers would make Fruit of the Loom boxers look good. I wasn't overjoyed with the twist and the acting was on an Eric Roberts level. Michael Ford could pass for Eric Robert's son.

Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Not Zoe Myers, she just major league teases)

Waste of time MTV-style psychological thriller

[Leofwine_draca · 1/10 · 9 March 2017]

Hollywood Nightmare is a would-be psychological thriller set in the cold and ruthless Hollywood world. It was made without any budget or real talent and for most of the running time the plot consists of an untalented young actress wandering around her new home and trying to make it interesting.

The film is a little self-referential in that the protagonist is herself an actress appearing in a low budget horror film, but sadly nothing much is done with that premise. Much is made of the price of fame and fortune and the character's own self-belief which verges on arrogance, but she's so shallow that you hate her from the outset. The whole film has an MTV-style shooting style and you won't be wondering if the new home is haunted, just when it will all end. Unsurprisingly, the ending when it does come is a real let down.
