It's cool you're doing these reviews and all, but some of your assesments are rather dodgy- like you give a NA to the acting on a film because there are subtitles? WTF? Is it because you read so slow you don't have a chance to ever look at the actors?

You give a "LOVE" rating of 2 to a film because there are rape scenes? WHAT? Rape has NOTHING to do with love, dude.

Last House On the Left is not a horror movie? Excuse me? Since when?

Brother...

I don't get the category "LOVE". What exactly are you grading there? How much romance there is in the film or how much you personally loved it? Or something else all together?

And like NE pointed out, Last House on the Left is most certainly a horror film. If it's not to you, I'd love to know what your criteria is to be considered a horror film.

The Love factor was in earlier reviews and now recent they say Sexual Content. And to me I never considered being raped and held hostage horror. I always considered horror as a scary movie, but as i think about it, Having that done would be a horrifing expirence.
Thank you for letting me know how you feel neverending & bwind22.

How exactly does this work? You roast the movie on every single category that you have, then give it a 4 out of 5? What are the hidden categories? This "review" pretty much invalidates any reviews you have done or will do as far as I can see.

The Locker 2 (2004)
 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0470536/

DVD Description: Demonic little Sachiko is back! And she is literally crumpling any foolish soul that dares open the Shibuya coin locker #0009.

Picking up at precisely the moment the prequel left off, the trajectory of horror continues as we learn more and more about the cause behind a growing epidemic of unnatural deaths.

ACTORS QUALITY: Subtitled

i would give Last House a Love rating of 4 I think.

You should keep the love rating much more user friendly than the steril 'sexual content' label.

Please review TUMBLNG DOLL OF FLESH.

House on the Edge of the Park (1980)
 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080503/

DVD Description: Time to party hardy. Hardly! It's more like time to bail when two psychotics gate-crash a perfectly delightful get-together and turn it into a gore-fest with a huge body count. Directed by Ruggero Deodato, House on the Edge of the Park makes no pretense -- it's an exploitation flick complete with ritualistic torture.

STORY: 4 out of 5

ACTORS QUALITY: 2 out of 5

VIOLENCE: 4 out of 5

BLOOD: 2 out of 5

GORE: NA

Scare Factor: 0 out of 5

SPECIAL EFFECTS: 5 out of 5 (1980)

Sexual Content: 4 out of 5

FINAL THOUGHTS: Almost a duplicate of Last House On the Left. You won't be disappointed. Good storyline and the ending really sets it all up.

OVERALL SCORE: 4 out of 5 (If you liked Last House on the Left, then you will enjoy this one. )

I think you should keep reviewing movies however you want. I like that they aggrevate people so much, it makes for interesting reading.
