You won't be disappointed!
Thanks for the memories!
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
What sort of a world are we living in when the best thing men of a certain type can think of doing with young, attractive blondes is to rape them repeatedly then murder them? Thankfully the rapes are only implied, and they don't get around to the murders because the damsels escape.Those of a certain vintage will see the parallels with the 1978 film "I Spit On Your Grave", which was very controversial at the time. Forty years on, films of that genre have long since ceased to shock. Here we have two damsels exacting a bloody revenge on their abusers and would-be killers, and they don't do it by halves. The soundtrack isn't bad, and the cameos are quite good, especially the one with the twin elderly clerks: "My next ride is your Mom", indeed.This began as a thriller, turned into horror, then turned again, to black comedy. And they all lived happily ever after. Those who didn't die an excruciatingly painful death, one in the fashion of Edward II.
There was nothing special about this movie. The plot was used before, the acting wasn't great, there were no amazing special affects, and there was not much gore. Despite there being nothing special about the movie it was enjoyable. The plot has been used before and there were no plot twists. So don't watch this for the plot. There are some holes in the plot, but if you are not watching it for the plot they can easily be overlooked.The acting was not world class but it was much better than many movies I have seen. It did not sound like the actors were reading from a script so it was not a distraction.I think this was just a quick, fun little flick to kill an hour or so. I don't know if I would watch it again, but if someone turned it on I would not complain and would probably enjoy it again.
"Even Lambs Have Teeth" is the latest in the never-ending genre of revenge films. It tells a story about two best friends (one who just needs to strap a mattress on her back for convenience) who have decided to work in "nature" at some sort of camp in order to earn money to go shopping in NYC. As it usually turns out, there's something in them thar' woods, and all seems lost.Face it guys, we've seen this same story about a billion times--only done way better. "Last House on the Left," "Avenged," "I Spit on Your Grave," are just a few that have taken revenge to another level, which is something "Lambs" tried but just couldn't do. Why? A very ineffective and simply unbelievable script. All I could do was snicker when I saw two girls (covered in blood) walk through stores in a very small town without being noticed. The local preacher can be tied to the back of a pickup truck and drug through town--then sat afire-- without being noticed. There are a few (and I mean few) moments of "comedy," but not enough to put a dent in this big old mess.Rated "R" for some grisly violence, brief nudity, and rape.
clearly multiple false reviews have been submitted for this movie so let me give you a genuine one after sitting through this.so movie opens with some teenagers screwing around as they do, doing some drugs blah blah blah. they get high and we get opening credits. scene has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie and none of the characters in this scene beside the 2 lead females are in the remainder of the film. so moving on these girls are headed to some farm so they can work and earn money to go to new york for a shopping trip? they wind up making the clearly terrible decision to catch a ride with 2 stranger dudes to this farm as opposed to getting their scheduled bus and wind up getting drugged, kidnapped and thus begins their ordeal and they supposedly get raped and tortured (but you wouldn't know for sure because the movie fades to black anytime anything bad happens so basically everything is suggested ) and we watch as they make their miraculous escape and carry out their revenge. so now that i've summarised the terrible paper-thin plot lets talk about the acting. to cut it short, some of it was OK the rest was truly shake-your-head terrible. the script was dumb as hell and full of holes and there was at least half a dozen moments where i sat there wondering if i should just switch off or grit and bear the rest of the movie. the 2 leads did OK with what they had and that's why I'm not completely down rating this movie. the terrible script puts them in stupid situations and they make the best of it (for the most part) but sometimes they say things or do things that just make you think "what the F. really?"shame cos it did show potential but it was one of the poorest most predictable horror movies i've ever seen. just a much weaker version of i spit on your grave / last house on the left. go watch those instead or something like martyrs (original), frontiers, inside, switchblade romance, or any genuinely solid horror movie. 3/10
