O sure, they knew what they wanted to deliver. A nice slasher. But without a good script you doesn't have a flick. This is a perfect example. This clocks in at 55 minutes and the first 10 minutes it's all about talking. The friends are sitting together in a room and are comparing each other over their sex lives. Once the story involves into granny things go wrong. But it's already too late. The first ten minutes destroyed this flick. You couldn't care about any person. When the killings start the first one was rather okay for a no budget. But from then on it becomes ridiculous. The stabbing of a girl has no red stuff flying around and the knife used is bloodless. What a mistake. Just before the girl is stabbed it again takes ages before she's ready making herself beautiful. By having all killings off-camera and only seeing the result it degrades to a turkey. But clocking in under a hour makes it watchable. The plot was a good thought although seen it before in April Fool's Day (1986). This is all so bad that it even becomes good, Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

..::The Prologue Of Watching Granny::..I got this movie from a bargain bin in my local Boozer. Usually there you can get a "Bad" movie for £1.50 or 2 for £2! Needless to say I spend most of my time digging through that bin! On my latest dig I found the best bargain in the history of mankind.GRANNY FOR £0.20!!! As you can probably guess I had 4 heart attacks in a row at the greatness of the box art. Later I woke up in a daze, payed for my copy of Granny and (Literally) RAN home to watch it on my 42" TV. As soon as I got home I got a six-pack of beer out of the fridge, turned my phone off. Logged off skype. I was literally unreachable. I had food, beer and Granny. The perfect night in.Upon the first few minutes the fear really sets in. You can't believe what your watching. As some guy (I think its one of the dudes from American Pie or something... He was in A Kid In King Arthur's Court) tells his friends how he killed his Grandma, cut her into pieces and "Laid her to rest". These people are in their mid-20's and playing a game a parent sets up to scare her kid and their friends. GENIUS! These people are obviously trying to be children again, no doubt going to be their downfall as Granny picks them off one by one. Their inner-child being their weakness.Or it could just be a really dumb (But hilarious) scene... Either way...The movie is basically one character sets up a "Skit" to "Scare" his "Friends" and stuff. So he tells them to get out so he can set it up. When his friends return they notice a not on the door saying he left to get more beer (at this point I needed more) and chips. So they go in a and await the fright of a lifetime. Whilst waiting they hear crying. 'Tis no other than GRANNY! Who picks off the American Pie kid and delivers an axe to the head.The rest of the movie is just the same horror cliché's we all know and love. Add a cheap granny mask, tomato ketchup, a flare gun (Supposed to be a colt .45) and some amazing acting talent. With probably the most brain busting twist EVER at the end.The perfect night in movie.

My partner and I sat down to watch this film over a bottle of wine last Saturday and although we initially had our reservations once the story got going it was in actual fact rather gripping. The scene in which one of the characters in brutally murdered by knitting needles was particularly shocking and echoed the work of Korean new wave auteur Park Chan Wook. The weapon of choice was a particular masterstroke and allowed us to see into the psyche of 'Granny', heavily altering the connotations of a loving, warm Grandmother into a murderous hag. The dialogue was incredibly moving and lyrical in expressing the innermost paranoia the protagonist. Pavlosky's selections of mise en scene furthermore enhance the unnerving and manical atmosphere of the nights events, combining with the Oscar worthy performances to create a chilling and thought provoking masterpiece. The ending, which I won't spoil for you here, reminded my partner and myself of M Night Shyamalan's institutional masterwork The Sixth Sense for it's mind altering twist that has left me thinking weeks after viewing. Definitely one to watch, repeatedly!

NO WAY ! I hated Granny. First, she is way too tall -of course she is, it is Tom, whoever's brother, who's playing her- and I hate that thing she does when she brushes her fake silver hair back, but : there are funny parts in this movie. For instance, the fact that every single actor looks V.G. (very German), and also that they think that, even when left alone, they should pretend that that guy (Tom) is their actual "granny" or something. I specially liked -not- that moment where Charlotte leaves and starts walking to the nearest gas station to ask for some help. She suddenly finds herself in the middle of some woods (where were these before? nobody dares explaining) and turns, turns, turns a-r-oun-d like a ballerina, looking at the stars...and...ignoring the fact that GRANNY'S BEHIND HER, READY TO STRIKE !!! But, anyway, the music wasn't so bad, the haircuts were okay and the ending terribly provocative... Mmmmm... wish I had the German version.
