Summary: Realistic Gore
Comment: I loved this Movie, mainly because it made my Family cringe with the realism of the fleshy special effects.
The storyline was believable although they should have better explained the reason for the vines existance, Blood from the year's of Human Sacrifice on the Pyramid!!! An all around enjoyable movie but not for the weak stomach or faint hearted. A+++

Summary: Little shop of Horrors 2
Comment: Man, I had no idea they were going to make a sequel of "little shop of horrors". It only took them twenty years to cook this up. That is too quick in my opinion. These things take time. If only Rick Moranis wasn't shooting "brother bear 2" when they were creating this gem, it would have been perfect. "Ghostbusters 2"? "brother bear 2"? come on Moranis, don't forget where you came from. Please start filming "My Blue Heaven 2". Please, please.
Seriously, killer plants?

Summary: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
Comment: I usually don't have the time or energy to write a review...but in this case, it is necessary. It takes a lot for me to HATE a movie. There almost always something that makes it ok...not in this movie. I want my hour and a half back. Trust me, everyone who gave it one star nailed it! Only one other movie ticked me off this bad: Hope Floats. The book is probably good. I enjoy books with this type of plot... the movie however tanks. It ruined my night. (pun intended)Avoid!

Summary: Never really got under my skin ...
Comment: Well it was at least a cool idea...ancient Mayan ruins are a great pretext/setting for a movie, and the story had potential. Unfortunately the decent build-up thruout the movie fizzled out once you find the vegetation is pretty much the gist of the horror. I wonder who decided to give the flower buds the ability to mimic speech? That was a sorta neato thing, but the fact that they only cried out certain phrases and the vines only moved at certain 'high drama' parts of the movie, made the whole fiasco feel like something a juvenile would have scripted! The actors made the whole thing mildly watcheable in spite of the goofiness, but there's no denying so much more could have been done within the fascinating lore of the Mayan world
