4.0 out of 5 stars won't win any awards, but VERY watchable, April 11, 2002

This review is from: Frightening (DVD)

For a direct-to-dvd "B"-type movie, this was a pretty decent movie. Some of the cast might even have a future... The basic premise of the movie is that a high school (where students have a way of disappearing) is in fact a portal to hell, or something like that...Most of the young cast is pretty decent, although I think plot is somewhat unimportant to this movie, which at times borders on a soft-core homoerotic flick. Not that that's a bad thing...Corey Haim fans, rejoice, the lead actor bears a more than slight resemblance to the 80's bad-boy. Overall, I think it's worth a watch...You might even end up buying it...as I plan to...

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Unexpected, April 6, 2002

This review is from: Frightening [VHS] (VHS Tape)

At first I thought the movie was way too predictable, but then I thought 'oh there'll be something good at the end' and then I started thinking up some things. Usually I'm right on it, but I did not expect this ending. The ending made the whole movie, not to mention the really, really cute guys, especially

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid at all costs, November 19, 2002

This review is from: Frightening (DVD)

David DeCoteau's _Sixth Sense_ ripoff is dull beyond belief. Even the requisite beefcake shots look shoddy.

Like many of DeCoteau's more recent films, _The Frightening_ was filmed in widescreen and released on DVD in full-frame format. Image cropping is noticeable and sound is just plain bad.

Avoid.
