This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Special effects guy Bob Keen sure knows his stuff when it comes to latex and karo syrup, but his directorial skills leave much to be desired. Heartstopper begins in very muddled fashion with serial killer Jonathan Chambers (James Binkley), who might be in league with the devil (although I can't be certain about that) being executed in the electric chair, a raging storm supplying some much needed voltage (for some reason the prison's standard power supply isn't doing the trick).Once nicely fried, Chamber's body is loaded onto an ambulance to be taken for an autopsy, but, en route to the hospital, the ambulance hits a suicidal teenage girl, Sara Wexler (Meredith Henderson). Still alive but injured, Sara is put on the ambulance next to the dead killer and something strange happens when she accidentally brushes against his hand—his tattoo seems to move onto her arm (although why or how this happens is not made clear). On arrival at the hospital, Sara is admitted to a ward and Chambers is sent for dissection. But before the autopsy can begin, the dead killer wakes up (How? Why? Again, I am not sure)...Having regenerated himself by pulling out the coroner's heart (???), Chambers goes searching for Sara, the girl being the only person who can host the murderer's soul and give him a new identity with which he can continue to kill (Why just her?… beats me!).The rest of the film is a drawn out game of cat and mouse as Chambers hunts Sara and fellow patient Walter (Nathan Stephenson), with zero scares and very little in the way of atmosphere. Chambers kills anyone unfortunate enough to stumble across his path—providing the film with plenty of fun gore—but he also has a tendency to talk a lot, his comments even more droll and annoying than those of Freddy Krueger (and speaking of Freddy, A Nightmare On Elm Street star Robert Englund pops up as the local sheriff, who also gets his heart ripped out).After lots of tedious running around dark corridors and hiding in the shadows, Sara finally confronts Chambers, destroying him with the help of a passing whirlwind (yes, you read that right, and it is as stupid as it sounds!).4 out of 10, mostly for the plentiful splatter.

Slutty suicidal Sara (Meredith Henderson) is 'saved' by Sheriff Burger (horror film mainstay Robert Englund) after she gets hit by a car, dislocating her shoulder She taken to a local hospital where the body of a notorious serial killer who likes to rip hearts out of his victims' bodies, is being held whom obviously comes back to life or their wouldn't be a movie (not that I would've minded such a scenario mind you). But ANYways, Sara teams up with an equally unlikable fellow classmate with a chip on his shoulder and is prone to play the race card to escape the 'heart stoppers' undead clutches.This is a very generic teen slasher film that has absolutely nothing new to bring to the table, the gore is not that good and the acting even worse. At the end of the day though I was less angry with the people who made this bottom-of-the-barrel sludge & more mad at myself for wasting my time watching it.

I have had my eye on this movie since it came out but just got around to watching it last night.I wanted to see it mainly because of Robert(Freddy)Englund.He was funny in this movie.I wonder if the producer of this movie originally had Robert in mind to play the serial killer role instead.I think I would have preferred it if he was playing the satanic serial killer role instead that gets executed and then comes back to life to wreak havoc.We all know he can pull it off.He is so good at playing bad guys. This movie turned out to be a bit of a b movie.I thought it would be more serious.I have seen this plot twice before.There was a good horror film made back in 1995 called Sleepstalker-evil never dies, about a serial killer on death row who is executed and resurrected as an evil sandman.And then there was the one called last rites which is also very similar.I liked the b rated flashes of lightning during the storm in heartstopper and all the campy acting.I didn't mind this movie.It had a lot of gore and was at least watchable.

I watched this movie just because of Robert Englund (best known as Freddy Kruger from "Nightmare on ElmStreet"), but I was disappointed! This movie looks just like cheap 80's slasher movie (exaple: "Nightmare on ElmStreet" latest 4 sequels). This movie became a disaster at the end, when Chambers has been taken by tornado.Young actors acted nice. Meredith Henderson and Nathan Stephenson had show, that they can act very good, so some producers had to take them to better movies. Other actors acted fair. Robert Englund is still a good actor, but this movie has not been watching, if you're the fan of Roberts character Freddy Kruger. Plot of this movie was average (except ending).So, I give a 4 to this movie, but I was thought about 2 or 3.
