Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Wizard-8 "Lurkers" was one of the last movies the Crown-International studio released to theaters. In several aspects, it's one of their strangest. Although the movie was made in the late 1980s, if you didn't know that beforehand, you would probably swear that it was made in the early 1970s, with its drab and murky cinematography, substandard sound, and an overall cheapness that means there is very little horror material like blood, gore, or creature effects. It's trying to be a psychological horror like those found in the 1970s, but the screenplay is very incoherent, from the heroine's vague relationship with her brother to the unexplained fact as to just who killed her mother when she was just a child. The whole movie plays like something Troma at the time would have picked up instead of a distributor of a more ambitious nature.

Tikkin I quite liked Roberta Findlay's film "The Oracle" so I thought I'd give this one a go, especially as I thought the VHS cover looked quite cool. Sadly it turned out to be rather boring. It actually has quite a good storyline behind it, but is just done in a very boring way. Which of course means little gore and suspense, and too much talking.I sort of like the cheap and dirty feel to it - I've always thought cheapness adds a murky atmosphere to horror flicks, take "Midnight" by John Russo for example. It's a shame Findlay didn't go for blood and gore over the "talky" bits as that would have made it much more watchable. Using better actors would also have lifted it out of boring mediocrity. Overall, Lurkers may be of interest to those who collect rare horror flicks, but gore and suspense fans should stay away.

jharrismo This movie, which is ostensibly a horror movie, fails on several levels: it does not make you care about what happens to the characters, it does not scare you, the atmosphere is not interesting. In other words, it's boring. A horror movie doesn't necessarily have to be really scary (most aren't), but it must NEVER bore you.

Edam '99 This film freaks me out. It's cheaply made and incoherent but the muddle created disturbed me. Stripping, granny sex, lesbianism are all given a nod to. The stunts seem too real, when a girl is strangled with a skipping rope I believed it. A film to watch with your mates and a drink. Surreal content.
