Customer Reviews of Popcorn
Not for the true horror fan This is a horror/thriller about a killer running amok during a movie marathon. The idea behind the movie is sort of cool and ahead of its time, being that is was released in theaters in 1989. I think that is the only real positive thing I can say about this film. As far as acting goes, the movie stars Jill Schoelen and Tom Villard as the main charecters, and the acting is terrible and unconvincing. Also, the movie is not scary at all, in fact they try to make it funny by adding jokes. This is definitly not for the hard core horror fan, but maybe fans of the Scream and Urban Legend type of horror movies might find something special in this movie. As for quality, it made a good transition to DVD, although a bit grainy in some scenes. The sound is also decent throughout most of the movie. One thing it could have used is more extras added to the DVD.
Leave room for some "Popcorn"
In the early 1990's, before releases such as "Darkman", and "The Silence of the Lambs", when horror films were at an all-time low, and America was bombarded with cheesy made for video horror comedies, this odd, but entertaining thriller was released in theaters.
The plot was simple, an all night horror movie marathon is silently stalked by a psychopath who may or may not be a killer from the past who has come to finish what he started. It starts off as any cheesy horror film would, with a lame dream sequence, but quickly turns into much more.
The recreations of many classic 50's horror films, which is definitely the high point of the film, is worth the viewing alone.
The film is wacky, funny, and gory, very reminiscent of the opening in "Scream 2" which makes me wonder if Kevin Williamson ever had an original thought in that brain of his(also see "Happy Birthday to Me") The only weak point of the film is the ending, which was somewhat of a disappointment.
This is never meant to be taken seriously and thats the fun of it all...turn off the lights and enjoy!!
The best!!
A very great movie.If you love horror movies you must get this!!
