Somebody Help Me (2007)

Let's be realistic.

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.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Flipping through I turned on this awful movie and continued to watch until I couldn't stand it anymore. Most of the plot made NO SENSE! Okay, yes, it was supposedly a slasher film but does that mean everyone has to act as if they are already brain dead? Why ....does the sheriff sit around all day investigating presumably online but goes out to "investigate" AT NIGHT! ....does the girlfriend go in the closet, wait for a few bars of music and then come out again? ....does she not look around at all! I actually could not bring myself to watch the end so I have no idea what part the guy in the truck played or even why the doc was doing what he did. I didn't care frankly after the little girl showed up. PLEASE!!!! I am curious what happened to the one kid who used the phone. Why did he collapse? My guess is from the awfulness of the movie but that's just a guess.Run as fast as you can if this comes on again!

I hope the director is OK, because he might be to dumb to breathe. I hope the director is OK, because he might be to dumb to breathe.

The things that really made this movie bad, was the acting and the script (what is left you wonder) The main characters were 2 black couples and as side dish for the slasher there were 3 white couples. 20 minutes into the movie, you just hoped the killer would give them a slow and painful dead. Apart from annoying these guys were really stupid. Two examples: The killer is chasing me, i steal a cop car (with a shotgun in it) i hide the car, the killer drives by, i go back to the house to find my friends. I leave the shotgun in the car. Go back to the car to sleep with the shotgun in my hand. A little girl finds me, i go to free my friends, but still i leave the shotgun in the car. Quote: We can't call the cops, we are black. We might upset the town unquote. The movie is funny, the music is cliché and gets eery when nothing happens. If you wanna get drunk with some friends and have a good laugh, watch this movie (make sure it's lots of alcohol) Otherwise it's not worth it.

I thought the acting wasn't' bad at all. Of course we are taking into consideration that for most of the actors, it was their first time in a horror. The plot was not very catchy but kept the viewer interested. Evident that Marques was a better actor than Omari. Some of the actors that were main characters did not get enough screen time and at times the repetition of an idea was exaggerated to the point it got annoying but definitely a scare.It was logical for it to premiere on halloween. I wish there had been more content instead of a lot of filler that took away from the horror. Still, not bad I did enjoy it and thought it was worth watching.Overall good job Chris Stokes! Looking forward to more.
