5.0 out of 5 stars
Scream fans move aside, time for a REAL slasher flick, August 5, 2004
This review is from: Kolobos (DVD)
This movie did what most horror films fail to do: it seriously creeped me out. I hear a lot of complaints about Kolobos being a low budget b-rated slasher film with horrible acting and it is, however, I didn't feel that that took away from any of the suspense, action, or horror that it elicits. Kolobos offers up a dish full of psychological terror, gore, creative ways of killing off the characters, plenty of squeamish scenes, and an unexpected ending.
Recommended to real fans of horror.

Run of the Mill...but still has moments, June 1, 2006
This review is from: Kolobos (DVD)
Rule #1 in marketing movies is always: Make it look appealing to anyone interested in the genre. Check out the slick design and glimmering color used on the front cover. Doesn't it scream "Choose me!"?
Having said that, I'd like to thank "Big Brother" for taking a seemingly mundane and made-for-horror-schlock idea and milking millions of dollars (and British currency) out of the premise.
"Kolobos" uses that premise as a way for the blood to start spurting. I enjoyed "Kolobos" for what it was. Not every movie made on a shoe-string budget is going to be sitting alongside Tarantino and Rodriguez for any awards come March/April.
The death scenes, especially the shower, was a great touch. As was the video that kept playing. Cutting is a big issue in some circles, in fact, I have seen quite a few chatrooms devoted to the subject. Trust me, Google it to find out how many cutters are out there.
Kolobos is essentailly a word meaning "cutter".
It's creepy in it's overall feel. But there definitely are some d-grade effects (like the death of the girl in front of the fridge).
For what it is, Kolobos is a good attempt at a now-tired premise, which seemed really novel at the time.
I'd recommend renting for a rain delay ballgame or for a night of "schlocky over the top horror".
