Sella Turcica (2010)

Very disappointing...

Too much of everything

Absolutely Fantastic

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Let me go on record as saying I like some Toetag and Fred Vogel movies. Redsin Tower, August Underground's Mordum, they're decent movies (if very grisly and not for the squeamish.) But this one is absolutely terrible; it's easily Toetag's worse movie.Brad returns home after his time in the service, but his family does not rejoice as they should have. See, Bradley was involved in some sort of accident and his health has been deteriorating more and more every day, moving to the point where he needs help to do everyday things. He spends time with his family, while getting worse. Eventually (and I mean in the last 10 or so minutes), he freaks out and kills off a few family members before being killed. Inside his head is a little alien.This movie is so ####ing boring, it goes on and on and on, the dialogue is so pointless and meandering, it's almost a contest against the viewer's attention span. If you manage to stick along for the slow ride, you're given two very good gore scenes and that's it.The acting is very bad, even Camille Keaton (I Spit on your Grave) gives a very bored, tired performance in this. None of the dialogue works because no one is invested in anything. We can't feel for the main character or his family, or care about his situation because the actors don't.The worst part is, this movie could have been good. There's a decent plot in there, but it gets wasted on terrible, terrible, terrible character development. If we could even give half a #### about any of the characters, maybe it could have worked, but with how inept the writing and dialogue is, we just can't. Go watch Redsin Tower instead, much better.

A soldier returns from war to a family happy to see him. Soon they become not so happy and by the end even less happy. Over the course of a couple of days the soldiers health deteriorates until the point the family know something is very wrong, by which point it is too late.I watch a lot of low budget horror movies so I'm used to seeing terrible acting and low production values and it never usually puts me off. The acting here isn't great but I have seen a hell of a lot worse. Also it was good to see Camille Keaton again even in such a small role. The film quality itself is pretty good but the sound is very muffled. The make up FX and gore FX towards the end of the movie are very good as anyone familiar with the Toetag movies would expect. At the end the way the soldier begins acting I found very chilling and thought his performance was easily the best.My only problem with this movie was that it is painfully slow. As the returning soldier gets more ill his monologues become very slow and I found myself keep checking the running time for the movie wondering how much longer it was going on for.If you were a fan of death dream but were disappointed it didn't quite go for the jugular then you owe it to yourself to check this out. It's nowhere near as classy but still very enjoyable.

This movie wasn't a total loss. Kinda boring at times. Kinda funny. Kinda gross too. The movie was good at the time as I was in bed sick with strep. Of course I was in a lot better shape than the Sgt.But watching Sgt. Bradley go downhill was kinda cool. I did wish they explained what happened to him, say, like in flash backs.Yes, I know were supposed to see how the movie ends the the way it does, but I kept shaking my head asking why no one was calling 911, like even on day one looking sickly like he might give what he has to everyone else.And can anyone guess which person made me want to kick their ass? Hmmm guess you'll have to see the movie.

Never seen a TOETAG film before......never will again, seen better films made with no budget and a handy cam! Film feels cheap right from the start, its so bad its uncomfortable to watch. The acting if you could call them actors was poor, I suspect they were volunteers or passers by! I don't see the point going into any detail on this film they certainly didn't bother when making it.Clearly there are a few fan boy/girls or as previous poster said probably involved with making the film who have given the movie a positive rating which fooled me into watching it, spare yourself heed my warning!
