| Alternate EndingTim BraytonRelentlessly filthy, and it is also fizzy and zesty and fun in the way that only the sunniest of bad movies can approach |
| User ReviewChristopher BPure insanity put on celluloid. I rented this years ago on VHS and the cheesy cover drew me in. Never in my wildest dreams could I have foreseen the film that was presented. Seriously, check out the plot synopsis on this sweet baby, and believe you me, the actual movie is even stranger. It mentions nothing about the children who live in a shack in the park and the domestic story. Plus, the cannibal father names his daughter Bondi. Bondi I tell ya! |
| User ReviewTim MPerfectly exploitational not too bad story, decently violent with a good ending |
| User ReviewIan BCould have been an Anthrophagus movie. Really entertaining weird parts and gore. |
| User ReviewRuben Ai skimmed parts of this on youtube for a couple minutes. total cheese festival.& bad acting.& oh my God a funny minute where bondi is talking to nick! Review: well...what we have here is a...something special well where to begin... Don't Go Near The Park, is definitely in the so bad its bad category. the gore is cheesy and laughable. the plot makes no sense. the pacing is rather bad, and the film's staccato feel doesnt make it any better, the editing is on the spot awful. some dialogue is just terrible, and many different subplots just dont hold well, and keep stumbling on each other. the acting is ok from some, and just straight up horrendous from most others. the use of stop motion for the aging process isnt very good, and looks rather phony. But you can tell this was meant to be a serious film. the script in its own just isnt funny enough for it top be an intentionally bad film like ive seen people say before. it just isnt quite right. the film somehow ended up on the video nasties i dont at all understand why. i feel as though if it had a bigger budget it would be much better, and couldve been taken more seriously. the climax, well the whole movie is just something else. i do wonder what drugs the film makers were on during filming... the scoring...let me put it this way, the film feels and with the score sounds like i was watching the wizard of oz, only a rated r horror film. it just doesnt work. the scene with the rapists, i mean who on earth is that stupid? and Bondi somehow makes it out perfectly fine with no real explanation. the plot summary on Flixster literally is telling the whole movie, its something you have to see to believe. avid horror fans may recognize a young Linnea Quigley in her apparent first film. |
| User ReviewPrivate UDisturbing at times, yet very cliche and not scary whatsoever. DON'T GO NEAR THE PARK is nothing really new, but a fun shocker for fans of the genre. |
| User ReviewAl MPretty bad and doesn't make a whole lot of sense but I still kinda liked it...kinda. |

| User ReviewBrian HNothing special here just a dangerously young Linnea Quigley. |
| User ReviewJustin BMake no mistake, this is a B-movie with all that entails. If you rate it on the same scale as other movies, it is a loser - thus my rating. However, for a B-movie enthusiast such as I, this one has it all. Pseudo-sci-fi elements, cannibalism, young ladies getting naked, and some crappy effects that fit right in with the whole package. Fun stuff for those willing to expand their horizons and not take things too seriously. |
