Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Paul F[i]Tenement [/i]is a poorly made film. It takes place at night, yet there's so much daylight in the shots you'd mistake it for a [i]Mad Max[/i] rip-off. The special effects are crude. When characters are supposed to be beating the hell out of another character, they're obviously just punching the bed she's on. It's also overwhelmingly violent and terribly sadistic, and it's these traits that win out over anything else. No matter how badly put together [i]Tenement [/i]gets, you can't help but get involved with it, as the film runs entirely on adreneline-fueled thrills rather than coherent displays of film as an artistic craft. In short, it's one of the best drive-in movies ever made simply because its impact manages to be more than its' considerable incompetence. Essentially the same story as [i]Death Wish 3[/i] without the Charles Bronson character, [i]Tenement[/i] is the story of a dozen or so residents in a low-rent part of New York who have to fend off a gang of drug-crazed psychos bent on killing them over the course of a night. That's it as far as plot. There's a few sub-plots here and there under the lingering guise of character development, but most of them turn out to be irrelevent as the folks involved find themselves beaten, raped, impaled, cut up and shot by the group of thugs. Roberta Findlay didn't make many good films once her husband Michael died. (The pair were responsible the the [i]Flesh[/i] trilogy and the obscure Yoko Ono flick [i]Satan's Bed[/i]), and [i]Tenement [/i]isn't a good film by any means. But it's such an aggresively furious film, with the weak, elderly or useless tenants constantly at an impasse with the increasingly sadistic batch of leather-clad jerks that look like they just stepped out of a new wave video. Even when they fight back, it just pisses off the gang more--a woman bashes a scissors into her rapist's eyeball, and is rewarded by being raped by a broomstick instead. It's an unpleasant, seedy movie to watch, made more so by the fact that the acting by most of the tenants is actually pretty good. You feel for these people, and want them to get out or at least fight back, and each person is clearly given a distinct personality, even if they're one-note. The gang (which includes the only "name" in the cast, character thesp Paul Calderon) is as sadistic to each other as they are to their hostages, gleefully giggling when one of their number O.D.s and nonchalantly offing another with a blade. They're not in this for money, the tenants realize, they're in it to torture and kill everyone in the building. As I said, technically, the film is pretty bad, but as it was filmed in a New York tenement, it does have a good grimy feel to it. Things only get really out of character during the opening and closing credits with the film's theme song, a goofy rap number that sounds like you just stepped into [i]Breakin' 3[/i]. [i]Tenement[/i] is an unsettling, bleak, sadistic and perverse film experience, but it's never dull and it'll stick with you--the two most important qualities that a drive-in movie should have. It may seem so horrifically flawed to a standard movie viewer, but fans of drive-in flicks should check it out immediately and prepare for a sick treat.
User Review - 8/10 by Christopher JOne of those genuine true-blood grindhouse films. Made with exploitable elements, directed with a vicious appetite for violence and darkness, cathartic finale where average citizens do over the top things to the villians, and of course - 80s music! Woo!
User Review - 8/10 by Gordon Ba gang of of punx takes a shitty apartment complex hostage. a lot more violent and cruel than necessary which makes up for a lot of its shortcomings. has a totally retarded grandmaster flash theme song. keep an eye out for cigarface from the toxic avenger. one of the little kids also looks a lot like a younger lucy from degrassi, but it turns out its not her
User Review - 8/10 by Isaac BAwesome flick from the old grindhouse days. Lots of violence and gore.
User Review - 6/10 by Private UI saw this movie on a list of ultra violence, for the decade it didn't disappoint.
User Review - 6/10 by Jason DA very, VERY poor man's Assault on Precinct 13. This film was herald as "Too violent to be rated" and was one of the first films to be rated X because of it's ultra violence and gore. This movie wasn't that bad at all. If you have somehow acquired this movie, then you have obviously seen worse because this shit is pretty underground. If anything, I was surprised by the whole death by broom shoved up the twat scene. That was impressive. The rest of it is moderately bearable.
User Review - 6/10 by Patrick DA pretty decent violent gang flick about a gang trying to kill all the tenants in an apartment building. has the old style cheesy blood though unfortunately. good if you like the old school violent vigilante type flicks and you don't mind somethin cheesy
User Review - 6/10 by Liam HTypical 80s crap....Sleazy,Bad acting,violent and made on a budget of about £100....But what entertainment.Gotta love this kind of crap.
User Review - 6/10 by Rodney SI have to admit, this is a real favorite of mine in the graphic extreme bloody genre of semi-revenge thrillers. (is that even a genre?) Oh well, I saw this back in the day, and what I remember is the x-rating it got, and I don't believe it was ever edited to get any other rating. I watched it a 2nd time last night, and listened to the interesting commentary by director Roberta Findlay. She doesn't understand why it got an x-rating at all, but believe me, this was very strong stuff back in 1985. Basicially a gang of drugged out baddies get kicked out of their basement dwelling and arrested, and soon come back to kill everybody left in the tenement. This has some great stuff in it, some really zonked out homicidal gang members, and some residents that decide to put up a fight. And it is has some pretty decent production value, and the main goodies, extreme graphic violence and a high abundance of blood. This is a good eighties nasty, which deserves a place in your sleeze collection.
User Review - 6/10 by Kevin BRoberta Findlay directs a rather watchable little revenge flick that sees the residents of a building forced to fight for their lives when the gang living in their basement turns on them. It's a pretty nasty little low-budget flick and well worth a rental if you're in the mood for some sleaze.
