Weird Horror, almost HP Lovecraft, 9 January 2007
8/10
Author: randyslicker from United Kingdom

Although I am a lordi fan and that makes me bias I think that it was and all round good horror film, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't just an excuse to play all there songs (infact they didn't really play any). The plot was good if a bit confusing (if you don't pay close attention to the notes at the beginning the film it seems just nonsensical) although I felt the acting was sometimes bit wooden because of the dubbing and/or ADR but the on screen performance was consistently good. Lordi's appearances were brilliant and highly amusing and I wouldn't recommend this film to people who are squeamish. Effects were good and not over the top Over all a good well written gory weird horror story that may give you a bit of a headache figuring it out (its ninth gate all over again!). Oh and watch the last scene carefully I swear I saw some of the band members out of costume sitting about but maybe its just me.
