"When Did YOU become Such a PRUDE?" Ha hahahaha

I was actually surprised that I ENJOYED this Ti West Horror, after watching the preview months ago, and thinking, Oh NO, another torture porn Gorefest!!

But, seeing so many reviews and decent overall score (which sadly, you can't always trust number scores). I decided to watch it.

I'm a 70's kid, who was 14 in 79, and in the Weeds!. LOL So the vibe of this movie, the Fabulous Soundtrack, the actually very likable characters made this a fun story. I loved the cinematography, and the aerial shots, of that lake. LOL :O.

And the beautiful Rendition of Stevie Nick's 'Landslide' by Brittany Snow. With those split screen shots, was just kinda heart breaking. It sucks to get Old.

It's slow paced, like 70's horror I love (Original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Other, Burnt Offerings). But the acting and likable characters and cinematography with great placed sound track, lured you in to their world. It didn't feel so Over the top Fake, like so many horror movies these days.

And the amount of sex scenes, considering this is a movie about a 1979 low budget porn shoot, (which is now called soft porn) Really didn't show much more than you see in a PG 13 movie these days, except for the few seconds of male frontal.

So the sex and the horror were NOT over done, but it sure was creepy, especially toward the end with the bed scenes. LOL GROSSS!!! So SCARY!!!

So if you wanna blaze one up and sit back an enjoy an old school 70's horror with a bit of sex and gore, then you may well enjoy this movie.

If your here for Hardcore Sex and Gore, then head to Porn Hub or some other internet sex site. Or for gore go watch Saw, Hostel, Midnight Meat Train. Because you won't be liking this movie.

Overall, pretty well done and a fun watch. I think the Real Siskel and Ebert would have given this 2 thumbs up back in the day! ;D.
