I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

... View MoreThis is the first movie I have ever ripped into, but it deserves every word of it.For director/writer/producer(he who is to blame) Iren Koster, I doubt you'll ever read this, but I'm going to lay this out as clear and concise as possible to explain what went so horribly wrong with this film.!!!(Spoilers Ahead)!!! A group of horny teenagers head to a brothel in the woods, shack up with a bevy of prostitutes and then get hunted down one by one. Sounds intriguing right! Absolutely, except for that fact that everything this movie should have had going for it, missed the mark entirely. For example...1) The Characters(Victims) - Here we have our group of horny teens looking for action, finding an untimely death. The writer's job is to make us care about whether they live or die. We don't. The problem comes from the fact that they're actually flatter than the paper the script was printed on. We get horrible forced exposition about who all of them are for nearly 45 minutes while they drive. The most bizarre aspect of the dialog is that they don't converse like men, so much as what a teenage girl would believe guys would say to each other. They either seemed to be half grunting about sex/farts/dick jokes, or having touching chats about shyness and their hopes and dreams. Half of the movie is over by the time our friends reach the titular location. But we are fortunate enough to be treated to a Jeepers Creepers 2-esque shot of the guys taking a roadside leak while standing about three inches apart from one another. Here's the breakdown. There's the leader, the Jock, The Nerd, and some other interchangeable guys. We know the jock is a jock however because he carries a football with him... IN EVERY SCENE! While dining, driving, even in the friggin' bordello! We get it. He likes football. Move on! 2) The Villains - Major issue right off the block, is that the killers are supposed to be the sympathetic characters. Seriously. We're supposed to root for them. This becomes a problem once all the cards are on the table. You see, essentially this is a Rape/revenge picture. Mustange Sally was raped twenty years prior by the fathers of this gang of lummoxes. There lies the problem. Their FATHERS were to blame. So killing off their stupid, horny, but ultimately innocent sons is hardly justice especially since they establish that their fathers are largely estranged or dead, so there does seemed to be a flaw or two in Sally's plan. More on that later.3) The Plot - As mentioned, Sally decides to off these schmucks. Revenge is a dish best served cold so she waits 20 years, creating a number of false identities. OK, Plausible. Then for her ultimate revenge she opens a brothel in the mountains(for only the scope of a few weeks mind you, which would cost a small fortune and raise a number of eyebrows, include her face getting lots of attention), she then lures the guys in, kills them and abandons the cabin.4) The Payoff - All my complaints aside, let's look solely at this area. This movie is about murderous prostitutes. The cover art will tell you that the girls kill the men off according to their fears and nightmares. LIES! At one point the jock claims he can't swim. One of the girls leads him off towards the river. I think we see where this is going. They move towards the rivers edge, and then... she hits him with a rock. Apparently they didn't have enough time scheduled to involve water in this production. In fact all of the kills are done as cheaply as possible with knives, guns, and most tragically of all with a spray painted hand scythe that someone on the crew picked up around Halloween from K-Mart. Despite this being about a bordello of death, sex really never happens, nudity is kept at extreme distances or half second flashes.5)Gaping Plot Holes - (More spoilers) Granted the premise is flimsy. I'm sure it was written quickly as something of an afterthought, but really, some of the mistakes are enormous. If our narrator is secretly Sally's son, why did they have to send in a bunch of bikers to promote this brothel when he could simply have told them about it. Why did Sally feel the need to haggle over the prices and risk running them off if she planned on killing them. And... so much more... not enough space.
... View MoreMy friends and I were expecting to watch a slasher film when we sat down to watch Mustang Sally's Horror House. But, it was more than that. The girls in this movie are so hot and sexy. There was more teasing than nudity, but it didn't matter, because the girls were so great! Some of the story was a little corny, but it was entertaining nonetheless. Interesting how it all turned out in the end. There was some blood to keep our attention, and really twisted murder scenes that made us squirm in our shorts (you'll understand when you see the movie), but again, it's the gorgeous girls that make this movie so great. We wouldn't have passed up the chance to go to Mustang Sally's either!
... View MoreThat's right girls. Eye candy for us. Check out the Hunks in this film. Okay, okay back to the review. I read one review where the person thought the acting was bad. Oh come on dude, lighten up! The acting was totally believable. It's suppose to be campy and it delivers. Sure, if you want to see a blood fest with gore and killings, this is NOT that movie. Go rent "SAW." But if you want to sit back and watch an interesting story, have some good laughs with a bit of horror and light sex scenes that are necessary to the plot, then this is your cup of tea. Koster weaves a clever web of intrigue. However, I think he should lend his talents to comedies. Obviously his strong point. As a person who just enjoys entertainment and a hardy laugh, I recommend this movie. Oh, and for the person who wrote about "Opinions." I applaud you. Good on ya!
... View MoreHowever, when someone writes scathing comments and probably has never been in a film or near a set, I think it only fair that I am allowed to offer my opinion. Firstly, yes Mustang Sally won't win any Academy Awards(c) but it's entertaining and the acting was good. I've seen - and so have you seen - many big budgeted films, as well as low budgeted films, that we didn't like. That's what makes the world go around. I enjoyed the film and yes, I'm a friend of the director but why "Playhate" and disparage when these people are getting their films made. Let's see what YOU can do. We'll be waiting. If you check the number one rated movie on IMDb, "The Godfather," you'll find over 25,000 people gave it a 1 out of 10. What does that tell you? Again, I'm not finding fault with anyone's right to their opinion, but do it honestly. I saw Mustang Sally with a room filled with people who laughed and had a good time. That's what movies are supposed to be. Entertaining! Also, E.G. Daily is one of the highest paid voice over actresses in Hollywood. Is her acting horrible? Not likely. Thanks for reading.
