I feel like I am back from the depths after travelling most
of yesterday. After watching West Virginia
finish off Texas
and today the Steelers beat the Eagles, it was time to play catch-up. My first
review of the day is another entry from After Dark Horrorfest – Perkins' 14 from
2009.
Plot/ In the small town of Stone Cove, Maine, deputy sheriff
Dwayne Hopper is on the night shift at the police station. He discovers that
one of the prisoners in the holding cell is Ronald Perkins, a local pharmacist
and a suspect in the disappearance of 14 children over the past 10 years,
including Hopper's young son.
In the beginning, this flick started out decent and
definitely had something going for it. Honestly, it the storyline was fresh and
interesting, the gore and effects were solid and enjoyable, and the cinematography
and direction worked really well. Unfortunately, some of the acting was stale
with an amateur feel, the scripting leaves holes everywhere and some of the
characterization does not work. In the end, it is not the best horror flick,
but it is also not the worst. I grabbed this one as part of a set and it cost
me very little and I enjoyed it even with the flaws. If you are like me, you
should enjoy it as well.
