As exciting as watching someone playing on the computer can be! (Unless it was all shot through Skype) phelous.com / phelous Originally Released: July 7, 2010
I don't claim to know the first thing about filmmaking *or* computers. And apparently that's all the qualification I need to make an Internet slasher movie.
I'm confused. Why are the police not taking the girls calling and informing them that someone has uploaded a video of an actual murder seriously? Wouldn't that be something they would be genuinely concerned about since it means there has in fact been a murder?
For what it's worth, they did a pretty good job casting Nastassja Kinski and Nicollette Sheridan as sisters. The actresses look similar enough that you could believe they were related-- a lot of movies don't even bother with that kind of thing.
Fun fact: The director of this film also did Island of Death, that Greek exploitation film which The Cinema Snob has reviewed, and it has that scene which implied that the male lead fucked a goat. 15:11- "Don't know how to FUCK something."
SpeedyEric1 lol, no kidding? That's the last person I would've expected to be involved with this. I guess it's nice he was able to keep working, but too bad the quality didn't improve much.
sort of- this woman who talks about her job working at a sex dungeon talks about a guy who requests she lip syncs to episodes of Gilligan's island audio tapes that have been slowed down to distort the voices
I actually did try to report online harassment and threats from an ex to the police, and they DID not give a shit, then directed me to the FBI. I think that might be the only accurate part of this movie.
To be fair, I'd be surprised if people weren't directed to the FBI for internet related crimes quite often because of how it almost always crosses state borders, especially when the criminal's identity is unknown.
this movie plays out like something written by a internet troll who needed to get out a self insert fantasy porn about all the stuff he wished he could do online
"what if he's also a psychopath?" they ask of the boyfriend who is never in the movie again instead of the crazy guy on the internet who just sent them a video of him murdering someone.
I was waiting with baited breath to see if you were going to do a "Power of love" or "Hip to be square"(American Psycho) reference near the end. I think it could of went either way. lol Another great review btw. Cheers.
I love how none of them uses the mouse when using the computer, even though "Hal" _appears_ to have one (I'm not sure if that thing I saw is actually a mouse). Obviously all you need to use a computer is a keyboard and a monitor.
That intro... that... intro. It was some of the best stuff I've ever seen. Loved it! Also, is that 'Panda and Sean Investigations' song/music from anything? It sounds familiar...
12:06 Oh no, NOT... uh... *looks it up* Footage of Mr. Hyde, Fu Manchu, the Phantom, and Frankenstein's Monster from Have you Got Any Castles, but with replaced sound effects... THAT IS TRULY SCARY!!!!!!
15:55 Well, with a cut like that she was never in danger to begin with since no artery has been injured. As long as there was no poison on the blade she would have been just fine. Maybe she fainted so that she could escape the reality that she plays in a dumb ass movie.
The cartoon segment is from "Have You Got Any Castles?" (1938). One of the Censored 11. I seriously doubt they got Warner Bros. consent to use the clip.
I like the idea of Phelous dying prematurely and the review going on without him. Because I'm weird, I think I might actually like to have seen a whole review where Phelous died ahead of schedule and someone else (not just another Phelous) had to take over the review for him.
Uunder Channel CURIAN arrest.... haha :D That took me by surprise, but I supposed it makes sense since you departed from CA some time ago :) Btw how do you actually spell Curian... Curion... Curien... dadada!
