It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

One of the best messed up movie's i've ever seen! I've seen a lot of horror movies of all kinds probably thousands. I absolutely love this movie. I would so recommend it, if you are in the mood for some creepy and messed up crap. It's kind of a dark mood though which made my rating an 8 but otherwise I loved it. It's mainly about this girl that has a creepy face and everyone thinks she's evil so nobody cares about her. They say when you find love nothing else matters. I guess in this movie it kind of goes hand in hand. It's story had a lot of sexual matters. I got to say a lot of gibberish in this next couple lines so I can end this review loll. WATCH THIS MOVIE! You should really like it. Keeps you thinking..

Knowing before that this was made by Dario Argento and knowing it wasn't going to be a Giallo I was wondering what he would make for this much acclaimed series. From the first moment you know you are watching Italian stuff, just listen to the score done by Claudio Simonetti who we knew from so many Italian Giallo and horror scores. Not only that, the typical Dario style is there immediately to watch, just see the reflection in the meat cleaver. And I must say that it works out fine.Detective Frank Spivey (Steven Weber) is eating with his partner in their patrol car when suddenly Frank spots a man dragging a girl and pulling a meat cleaver to behead her. Not knowing what goes on he kills the man and saves the girl. Jenifer (Carrie Ann Fleming) is her name and she looks retarded with a disfigured face. He feels sorry for her and takes her home saving her from an insane asylum. But Jenifer is out for sex and Frank has troubles with his wife and not having sex for a while. Frank falls for some hot sex with Jenifer and falls in love with her but Jenifer has a dark secret.There's a lot of gore to spot here when bodies are ripped open and animals are being killed but not only that, for the Kleenex boys this is the episode with the most nudity, this time from Brenda James (Ruby) and Carrie Ann Fleming. You can spot easily where this is going and the final is so predictable but nevertheless is worth picking up. Maybe my only complain is the fact that in one sex scene you can see that she was wearing flesh coloured knickers in stead of really being naked. Normally they should edited that part out but it is still in there, also edited out were two oral sex scene's but they are to see in the special feature on the DVD.Gore 2/5 Nudity 2/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

I have heard of Dario Argento and the movie that keeps coming up is Susperia. To this day, this aside, I have never seen any of his movies. But I feel that's going to change.This story is about a police detective who's kind of bored of life who shoots a man who is trying to kill this woman. The only problem is this woman is drop dead gorgeous....from the neck down! Her face is hideously deformed. But there is something about her that he can't let go. He brings her home and his wife has a problem with it and his teenage son is impressed with her body. But once he falls under her spell, his life falls apart. But still, there is something about her he can't let go.Carrie Ann who plays Jennifer is FANTASTIC! She is so into that character that as a guy I can see how you fall for her. But it raises some questions. Is Jennifer a space monster? Was she raised by animals because her parents left her in the woods for dead because she is deformed? Maybe a government experiment gone wrong. Who cares! But it also deals a little bit on how people treat other people who are not 'normal looking'.I watched it with my wife and she jokingly said this shows how stupid men are when it comes to sex. Yet, it did remind me of this girl that I went to high school with who was, shall we say REALLY BUILT, but she had pock marks on her face from bad acne but the guys still flocked to her.So, you can take is of how stupid people are when it comes to sex, but I took it as an unattractive woman who want's to be loved. And hell has no fury like a woman scorned!

Jenifer (2005) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Dario Argento's entry into the Masters of Horror series is one of the best I've seen and like the John carpenter episode, this provides the director with his strongest work in quite some time. A policeman (Steven Weber) saved a beautiful woman (Carrie Anne Fleming) with a deformed face from being killed and slowly finds himself becoming obsessed with her, which turns his life upside down. Argento's director is right on the mark for this rather bizarre and sometimes sickening film. It's basically a very strange love story and Argento captures this perfectly with some nice humor as well as some disgusting violence and gore. The most shocking thing is the extremely graphic sexual nature of the film, which asks the question if a guy could be "turned on" by a woman like this and we see the answer is graphic detail. This weird sexuality is something we haven't seen in horror movies since the late 70's (I'm talking the late 70's Euro scene).
