Dimension Extreme???..........without the extreme!!
7 March 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Why am i even wasting minutes of my life writing this after already wasting over an hour of it watching this rubbish. Being a lover of all things gory and slashy i was excited to see this after reading about it in Fangoria(yes it's still going!!)...but alas i was hugely disappointed....and that's putting it mildly. I won't bore you with any of the story because quite frankly it doesn't really have one...in fact the plot is so thin that i found myself actually staring through the t.v and longing for the storyline to kick in.....i got to the end and it never did kick in.

Apart from the lack of a story..this film has terrible acting.....the two main guys are by far the worst and the leading lady isn't up to much either. What this film does have is pointless female nudity that seems to be there for no aparant reason except to give the director some nubile young bodies to leer over....i actually found myself feeling sorry for the two girls forced to strip at every opportunity...i bet after shooting they felt dead inside....but kudos to 'the cow' and 'the dog' for being the only half decent characters in this mess....even 'that guy from Saw' seemed ashamed to be in it. Another major criticism is for the 'effects'...oh my god....i've often rewound a 'death scene' because of it's coolness but very rarely is it to say..."did they actually just do that....did they actually just insult every person who will ever watch this film by allowing that scene to be included?"....some of the deaths are so badly done that it's hard to imagine they were in a film released this century..absolutely no care or detail...just stupid cgi fake looking kills that are over in the blink of an eye...i was left jawdropped....but not in a good way. Which begs the question why this film carries the Dimension Extreme tag....if 'extreme' stands for extremely devoid of any actually horror then it's suitably fitting....maybe the 'extreme' comes for the porno-like aspect to the ways the girls are paraded. Shame on you Dimension....we've come to expect better.
