Best movie ever!
... View MoreI 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 a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
... View MoreSweatshop seems to be a "gore-hounds" only movie, I can't see it appealing to anyone else. The body count is extremely high, especially towards the end of the movie when the killer ( or killers ) crashes and slashes and bashes the party in the abandoned warehouse. Hey, by the way, how much work are you getting out of these guys? Some sweatshop! It's kind of hard to keep up with production in the job industry when you're, you know, exterminating these young boneheads off with an unexplainable huge hammer. Oh, yeah, this is one brutally violent flick. In this one, torture first, THEN you get that hammer. If you've ever seen The Midnight Meat Train, and you're familiar with the hammer that guy used, well, the hammer in THIS movie will make that poor hammer look like a toothpick. I mean, it has to weigh at least 200 pounds, and our mass murderer picks it up with no sweat...well, if he's sweating, we don't see it. He has a welders mask on. Scary, huh? You think that's scary, wait until you see the final scene of the movie. The ending credits roll, and you're left wondering how they can end a film like that...completely unresolved. In fact, I would have given this movie 5 stars, but the dumb ending demoted 2 stars automatically. I don't mind you not having much of a plot when it comes to a slasher flick, but the least you can do is have a decent ending. In fact, what slasher movie has much of a plot? You're not watching it for the story, let's be realistic, we want to see some horrific stuff, right? Because this is that type of movie, and I felt as if it delivered the goods, I would have told you that this was an average, ultra-violent horror flick. When I say ultra-violent, don't take the warning lightly: jawbone is removed with bare hands, barbed wire is used to tie its victims painfully to a board, male parts are ripped out, not to mention the "That-was-so-WRONG " deaths with the whip of the hammer. Look, I don't know what these nerds did to upset the mind ( or minds) of this killer ( or killers ), but all I have to say is: Next time you throw a party, do it at somebody house. You never know, because you don't want to be throwing a party in Sweatshop!
... View MoreSeriously, if you want high art this movie is not for you. If you want a movie that sets you up to root for the cast to get killed in fantastic ways, then you need to watch this film.I'll be honest, I almost turned it off at the 25 minute mark. VERY bad acting, and a setting (a rave. Really?) that I didn't care about, but once the killer enters the fray it's incredibly creative.The gore is off the charts and worth a watch to any true horror fan. I watch EVERY bad horror flick in hopes of finding gems that stand out. You'd be surprised at how many low budget horror movies don't have any effects in them these days.I can handle a bad movie. That's what cult cinema is all about. But I can't handle a BORING movie. This movie, once past the 25 minute mark, is definitely not boring. It's blood-soaked and it's beautiful.
... View MoreI picked up a copy of "Sweatshop" because it seemed like a fairly interesting slasher movie, and the DVD cover did have a certain appeal.And now having seen the movie, I can say that it is a fairly average slasher at best. The story is straight forward, albeit a bit lacking depth and any real weight as to whom the killer and his two ghouls were and where they came from.The story is about a group of young people, punks, emos and goths, who are at an abandoned building to set up a rave of sorts. But they are not alone there, and a deranged killer is going to turn the party into a bloody mess before the night is over.What makes the movie bearable to sit through is the amount of violence and gore there is. The effects are nice and look realistic, which is really what is the major supporting factor that carries the movie. Plus the way that the violence and mayhem is executed is quite well, fun (in a morbid way) and inventive. There are some fairly interesting and brutal scenes to be seen throughout the movie.As for the characters, well despite having cool costumes and outfits they turn out to be rather meaningless people that you don't really come to have any sort of relationship to as you watch the movie. It is not a matter of if they die - it is a matter of how. And the size of the hammer made from an anvil, well it just seems so ridiculous, as the guy can handle it so easily, and you can see that it is painstakingly fake as there is no weight to it as he lifts it.For fans of macabre and violent movies, then you will surely find something enjoyable in "Sweatshop". But for fans of the horror genre, then you'll most likely find the movie to be plain and rather generic.
... View MoreI must admit that I was pretty thrilled throughout the movie. But there was missing something: A background story. Why was that creature in that old factory? What's its purpose? This movie shows basically a group of people which one by one gets killed by some mysterious monster with 2 survivors. Nobody knows why they get killed or even why that monster was there. Hold on.. Did I see more then one bad guy? Are there some more zombie-like creatures? Where did they come from? The story of this movie does not deserve any star. As well as the dialogs. Pretty flat. I rate this movie with a 4 because it still gives some thrill and keeps you excited. Oh. One more observation: showing some of the actresses topless does not fit in a horror-movie and does not necessarily make it a good movie. My hint: If you have nothing better to do and want to get thrilled, watch this movie. You will not want to watch it again and you will not recommend it to your friends. Still you will not consider it as a waste of time.
