Born Bad Uncut

Hmmm.....
I really do not want to bash this movie too much. Number 1, I must say that I agree with one reviewer that said that this movie is a lot like Fear with Reese Witherspoon. I will even go as far as saying that I rather like Michael Welch's (Denny) performance. He did a good job playing this twisted rapist/psychopath/thief/nutjob. He can jump from a charming lover into a vicious monster with ease. I am not big on a few of other actors. Denny's criminal buddies were unrealistic. Brooke was predictable (the movie in general). I agree with others on the ending. It was poorly done. However, I have seen worse. And overall, it is not that bad.

Cast again for sure
It was well cast and the film held its own in suspense. It had it intense moments pushing high engery! Would have paid to see it at the movie theathers.

Good idea poorly done
How can you rape someone if you never unzip your genes? How can a nieve 16 year old girl sneak up on and stab a pracitced home invading psychopath in the back? How can you hold together a an action/horror flick if every fight scean is 'fudged' by quick cutting showing little actual violence and an unrealistic outcome?

This film does have some good acting in the first half, and has a truely frightening premise; a charming psychopath worms his way into a 'nice' family and then turns on them for a home invasion. Unfortunately, the wrighters and director took an oddly and almost puritanical aproach to this film, rendering it almost senceless and mostly absurd.

If your going to do sexual violence in a film, do it, and don't make any apoligies. If your going to do a sexual preditor, do the same, but show more skin. We've had a decade or two of vampires acting out romantic and violative relationships; if we are cinimatically going to explore the more frightening real...
