3.0 out of 5 stars Average Horror Flick with Lots of Eye Candy, April 12, 2010

This review is from: Caretaker, The (DVD)

The Caretaker is about what you'd expect for most straight-to-video horror flicks. It's basically a slasher flick with an attractive cast, though it wouldn't satisfy the appetite of your average horror fan.

The movie has a simple plot, bland cinematography, a fairly predictable ending, and an unusual lack of gore. Despite being a slasher movie, most of the kill scenes are fairly tame and uneventful. There's also a noticeable lack of blood in a movie that's based on a psychopathic killer preying on teens.

What makes The Caretaker watchable is really the cast. All of the actresses in the film are beautiful, from curvy Lola Davidson (the only actress with a nude scene) to sexy Jennifer Freeman from "My Wife and Kids." What interested me most was that the film starred the smoking hot Jennifer Tilly. It's impossible to believe that she's now in her 50's, as Tilly looks incredible in this film. Expect an amazingly sexy Tilly in a seductive outfit, which is honestly the most redeeming aspect of the film.

If you're a fan of Judd Nelson, you might as well pass on this film. Nelson unfortunately has only about three minutes of screen time in the movie. I can't help but think it's a little deceptive that he doesn't get top billing in the movie credits, but his name appears on the DVD cover.

Overall, The Caretaker is at best an average horror flick. It's not especially scary, and it's very mild as far as slasher films are concerned. Unless you're big on eye candy, give this one a rent before you decide to buy the DVD.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overall weak but mildly entertaining, October 23, 2010

By 

The Tao of Netflix (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   

This review is from: Caretaker, The (DVD)

If you're a horror junkie and have flexed your netflix account so far you've seen nearly every movie that people have heard of, this movie is worth your time. Its not by any means a good movie, but its not bad either. In short, a group of high school kids decide to ditch a dance and hang out at a supposedly nefarious apple orchard, only to find out that it is, in fact, nefarious. There's absolutely nothing new about the story, and it was pitifully predictable. The acting was so so, but the acting of the guys was especially bad. But...the production values were pretty good; it did not feel like a low budget flick (which it is) and the camera work and lighting were generally good. Despite the weak acting and awful story/dialogue, there was something entertaining about the movie. Again, there are scores of movie that merit attention far before this one, but if you've worked through those already, you won't necessarily be disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, December 29, 2011

This review is from: Caretaker, The (DVD)

I'm a huge horror fan. I picked this up b/c it was fairly cheap to rent and was hoping for something good since it starred Judd Nelson. It wasn't good. It was truly terrible. I ended up fast forwarding a good chunk b/c the acting is over the top. The twist is so obvious it is laughable. Don't waste your TIME.
