3.0 out of 5 stars Super-CHEAP "Halloween" rip-off but entertaining anyway!, March 27, 2010

This review is from: Offerings (DVD)

This movie has a budget of maybe $930, lame-to-amputated acting, and a cheesy 80s-synthesizer soundtrack...but it's fun all the same! This movie even presages "Scream/Scary Movie" in a way (teens who've just eaten pizza with sausage [human meat] are watching & commenting on a horror movie on TV; local cops = morons). There's not much gore but there IS some nice direction/camera work and some of the killings are imginative. It's a big-hair, acid-washed-jeans nightmare! For a cheesy/cheap-O rip of "Halloween" it's actually amusing in an Ed Wood-y/MST3000 way.

I'm being generous by giving this a three star rating because I'm a huge fan of cheesy 80s slasher films. Unless you're the same, this probably won't interest you. This movie is perfect if you want to invite your friends over, drink a few beers and watch something funny. If you were to watch Offerings hoping to be wowed with the horror and violence you'd not only be disappointed, but you'd notice that the director shamelessly makes a blatant rip off of Halloween. Everything from the escape from a mental hospital, and the way the killer walks, all the way up to the climax music is identical to Halloween. Buy this if you like horror films that are funny for all the wrong reasons. If you're looking for a serious slasher to watch, I'd strongly recommend Michele Soavi's Stagefright.

This is a review for the actual Madacy produced dvd. There is a few other copies of the film floating around the five dollar range, I belive its the copy I got which is made for the Dead of Night Collection. It's region free without the trailer and I think the transfer is a little better on the offical release.

Offerings is called a cheap Halloween rip off. Then again, what horror movie isnt ripping off another film? This movie is about a boy who doesnt speak and is dared to walk across the well. He falls in and the movie skips to ten years later where is in a hospital. He looks much older then he should but thats the beauty of movies. Anyways, he gains revenge on the kids that tease him. This movie is very slow and about forty minutes into the film a character sums up the movie the best in one line-this show is boring. There is little gore, the killings are mostly unseen, and very little blood. I really dont recommend this movie to anyone and i'll watch any horror film if it's from the 80's. The picture and sound is quite good but it does get dark during the final climax and the movie gets shaky during the last few minutes but I dont know if it was meant to look that way. If you still want to see this movie then i'd stick to the region free release because it's cheaper.
