This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I remember viewing this little gem many years ago during the late 90's early 00's wave of slasher movies. And during that time a lot of junk came and went and very few stuck in my head, but this was the one that stayed in my mind and I was so glad that I got to view this again.I'd to say that "Kolobus" is very stylish and effective movie that tells the story of 5 people people enter a reality based TV series house where they hope to gain fame and fortune, including one of the characters is already an actress, a fallen actress with a hope to regain her time in the spotlight. But as soon as they arrive they are locked in with a sadistic killer who has set up an array of gruesome traps.The movie has a eerie nightmarish quality to it and the sudden darkness with just flashing red lights adds a great creepy Gothic tone to the proceedings, and especially when the characters sets off the one of the traps which are very nasty and effective and adds a brilliant amount of tension and fear, especially when the first victim gets sliced apart in the first trap as it totally comes out of the blue and the gore is really unsettling and brilliant. The others include eye impalement, disembowelment and an acid shower each done brilliantly.Amy Weber is a definite standout in the cast as the final girl and gives a good chase at the end and shows layers to her character throughout the movie. Illa Volok as Faceless the killer was very menacing in his little screen time which made his character all the more scary too much of him would have lessened his creepiness. All in all "Kolobus" is very tense and unsettling, although it doesn't keep it up all the way through and the last 40 minutes does try to pack too much in, but the twist ending is very well done though that was a real head scratcher.

Kolobos is quite an endearing premise, with quite an original title for the film being Kolobos which is Latin for mutilation. Alright its low budget, as low of a budget as you are gonna get especially in the late 1990's. I remembered seeing this film, when my family rented it from the video store for a Friday night horror shocker. It stayed with me for many years, the simplicity of a television turning on and showing a man cutting away layers of his face laughing hysterically really creeped me out as a child so I always kept my eye out for it, and saw it at least once every three years when it was on the budget horror channel and one day I saw it to buy and forked out for it, childhood memories of being scared to my wits of a man who seemed to have a fondness of some gruesome ways to murder his victims in the locked down house.There were some ingenious methods of murder used in Kolobos, including a gory kitchen scene when a saw-type of launcher fires off a razor Sharp saw gutting its intended victims pretty much in half and then there is the shower scene, of acid pumped into the mains and eventually the horrific curdling Deer Antler scene which many who have seen Kolobos will remember.Its not a film to write a lot of praise for, its dated and very low budget but its a good film that you can enjoy thinking of the old 90's horror nasties.

I first caught KOLOBOS several years ago on Cinemax and remember enjoying the film quite a bit. Hadn't seen it in years though, and decided to give it another go after someone mentioned it on one of the message boards. Glad I did. Though KOLOBOS is not a perfect film by any means, it has most of the elements I need to keep my interest.A group of 20-somethings respond to an ad in a newspaper looking for participants in a reality-style TV show where they will live with each other in a house for some period of time. Once inside, the group gets to know each other, and consists of a female semi-headcase that resides in a halfway house, an un-funny male comedian, an aspiring actress, a male college student, and a free-spirited female fast-food worker. Things go wrong when the house is "locked-down", and someone, or something, begins picking off the occupants in gory fashion...Many will rightly compare this film and MY LITTLE EYE to each other, as they do share similar premises. Though MY LITTLE EYE tends to be more of a straight-forward film, and KOLOBOS ends up as more of a psychological thriller/horror film that is much more vague in it's resolution. Personally, I'm not sure I really understood where the director was trying to go with the ending, but the film as a whole was enjoyable enough not to worry too much about it. There are several gory and well-depicted kill-scenes - much stronger than your typical "mainstream" horror films. This was definitely a plus too. Those that compare some of the deaths to ones found in Argento and Fulci films would be dead-on as well. It is obvious that the film-makers are horror fans and pay some reverence to the Italian "masters". Overall, a solid if somewhat confusing film that delivers on most levels - though the lack of nudity from any of the female leads is noticeable and hard to ignore or forgive. KOLOBOS would have gotten another 1/2 point from me had their been some tits-n-ass thrown in...8/10

Yesterday, I saw "Kolobos" and I really enjoyed that film. It's a nice horror movie with a lot of blood and terror. One scene that really scares me is the scene where the killer murdered Erica (Nichole Pelerine). Also, I think that Kyra (Amy Weber) is really beautiful and good actress. However, I don't understand the end. What happened exactly with Kyra? And disappoints me so much, because is a good movie and I believe has a good and more understandable end... Anyway, "Kolobos" Iis really good (except the end) and I suggest to all people see it when they will find the chance! My vote is 9 out of 10. And I will see it again!
