Cradle of Fear

05-13-2002, 10:55 PM

I can't recall this movie ever being discussed here, but has anyone seen it yet? From what I gather, it is about an imprisoned psychopath that uses an outside accomplice to extract revenge. It stars Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth) and is available in an unrated version on DVD, but so far I am unable to find it...little help?

That pretty much sums it up! I have a dirty old bootleg copy of this movie as i didn't have a credit card then to order it online and it wasn't available in australia any other way..

The film isn't the best of quality, it relies way too much on buckets of blood being thrown around.. it has its moments but its very amateur looking (almost camcorder looking in places).. but maybe thats my dodgy copy.

The film is split up into 4 short stories (where the pschopath seeks revenge in four seperate instances).. one involves special effects with a car chase, very poor visual effects!

I bought it cos i am a huge fan on the band, and obviously a horror movie fan

I've been wanting to watch this film since I first heard of itback in 1998...

I still haven't been able to get my hands on a copy, unfortunately.

My friend got a copy of this on VHS and I have to say its not all that great. It has its moments, but it never seems to be much more than an extended COF music video. They use a lot of blood hoping to lure in horror fans, but the film just falls short in too many ways. If you like REALLY low-budget shlock, then this may appeal to you. Fans of well-made low-budget flicks stay away, you probably wont like it. But if youre a fan of COF (like myself) then pick it up and have a look for yourself.

Check the www.cradleoffear.com for updates. It's realeased in a PAL format and the website says it will be released in the U.S. shortly.

This would have been great if they dropped the last storyline. Way too drawn out.

mcchrist · 03-23-2003, 05:37 AM

I've been curious about this one, but haven't found a copy yet. I suppose I should give it a look.

thrashard76 · 03-23-2003, 07:22 AM

I can't wait to order this (since I can't find it in local stores). I'm a fan of the band and with their new album coming out March 25th I am all set to blast into some COF.

mcchrist · 03-23-2003, 10:11 AM

Cradle (of Filth) blows. That's the only thing keeping me from picking this disc up. Sorry Thrash, but they haven't done jack since Vempire (and even then that was bad) I can only listen to Principle of Evil made Flesh.

Fart Lighter · 03-23-2003, 03:27 PM

There is an old thread about this movie here somewhere, and I repeat my sentiments from there:

It's utter shite. Badly written, edited, directed and lit.

A 'lowest common denominator' movie for the 15 year old gorehounds at best.

joltaddict · 03-24-2003, 06:28 AM

Hardly. Its no Shatterdead. A good old fashioned gory exploitation flick with plenty of violence and nudity. It just was spoiled by a really bad final section.

And Im a 33 year old gorehound.

Actually Vempire and Principle are the only two releases I don't have...silly me.

I need to get these though. Anyway, I liked the live album they put out recently and their new stuff sounds better than say The Dusk album. Midian was a great release too, a lot more meaner in spirit.

But I'll end up getting this DVD anyway along with their new album and maybe even their Pandaemonium DVD. I won't where their t-shirts in public but I will blast the music from my car speakers.

On a side note, I hope Necrophagia's Through The Eyes Of Undead gets a SE soon and that damn snapper case gets gone for a better keep case package.

Have you seen the new Napalm Death DVD Punishment In Capitals? If so, how did you like it? I'm thinking of picking this one up also?

mcchrist · 03-24-2003, 07:53 AM

I've been excited about Napalm Death's new stuff (haven't heard any of it I'm afraid) but that's another thread entirely. You need Principle, Thrash, it is much different than what you know as COF. Vempire will sound like familiar territory, but Principle kicks ass.
