Get some new friends ASAP!, October 8, 2002
This review is from: With Friends Like These (DVD)
This film tries hard, very hard to be fun, clever, and scary but fails on all accounts...
The stories are very poorly written, and acted even more poorly. There isn't a single scare to be found, except when the movie is over and you realize you wasted 90 good minutes of your life watching this...
The second story is mildly amusing, if only to see the food to come to life in the fridge. But after that, it's all downhill. WAY downhill.
Its amazing to think that someone, somewhere read this script and thought it was a good enough idea to put money into. Hey, if you're reading this, I have a script I'd love to sell you...
For the horror buffs, just say no to this...and move on. Not worth even a passing glance.

With Friends Like These (1991), September 18, 2010
This review is from: With Friends Like These (DVD)
Here we go with a lower budget film from the early 90s. I came across the DVD of this at a flea market, I was intrigued by the DVD cover, showing a green zombie like man who looked like he was jumping up at someone, and it was only $1.00, so I said "ah, what the hell lets check this out", so I watched "With Friends Like These", and now, Ill tell you the plots. (By "plots", I mean the movie is a trilogy)
Story #1: Story number one is virtually the exact same plot as John Carpenter's Christine, where a guy purchases a car, thats pretty much possessed. (Literally, that IS the plot of Christine)
Story #2: Story number two is very odd, its some punky looking dude who has the green moster (as shown on the cover) living in his fridge. I couldn't believe what I was seeing at first.
Story #3: Story number three is a woman trying out a dating website who pretty much gets set up with a crazy dude.
All the stories open with our protagonists getting off of a bus. That should've been the title of the movie "Death Bus", the only problem is that the bus will only have been seen for like seven minutes total. Theres a narrator with an annoying voice taking us through the events, which I thought the film could've done without. But since this was a very low-budget film, Ill give it the benefit of the doubt:
I give it a 3/5, but most people will probably not like it was what I did.
