Alright horror people, I keep noticing the ads for this all over the site. Anybody seen it? Is it worth a rental? Does Chiklis hit any vampires with a phone book?

I think the better question would be Molt, does he discover a female vampire that has a pussy that tastes like sweet butter?

Well, Carla Gugino is in it. You do the math.

It's from Sebastian Guittierez, who originated that whole idea about a plane filled with snakes. So obviously, this movie is at least a wellspring of mind-blowing ideas.

Marilyn Manson and Nick Lachey - together at last.

With Robert Forster as "Lloyd."

Sounds like a recipe for a decent B-flick, maybe.

It's an absolute shit sandwich.

Forrester's in the first scene only.

Chiklis plays a drunken stumblebum cop, which is great, but he gradually sobers up throughout the course of the movie, which is not so great. He's by far the best thing in the movie.

Also, no nudity from Gugino. But surprisingly there's a little from Lui, if crosseyed Asian boys are your thing.

Sounds like a 2 dollar rental then.

Wasn't this supposed to be released theatrically like over a year ago? And yes, cross-eyed Asian boys are my thing, if only because it usually takes them a moment to realize that I've swiped their wallets off the bed stand and slipped out the backdoor (both of them).

Rise is a true piece of shit. My baby Gugino was in it for all of 10 minutes and there was no Lui nudity. Chiklis really needs to stop doing crap like this and FF.

Shit was weak. The clowns were kind of scary, I guess, but other than that there was almost NO horror, just some fucking dancing. Fuck David LaChappelle.

There was a part of me that wanted to see this. Unfortunately, other than pretty good casting, this doesn't sound very good.

Some nice cinematography by John Toll, but otherwise pretty fucking bland.

Rise is easily one of the worst movies of the year.

No tension, no story, no action, apparently no script there's actually NOTHING worth looking for. Marilyn Manson is in it for like 20 seconds, Gugino doesn't get naked, Lucy Liu walks and talks as if she was high during the whole shoot and Vic Mackey's performance in Soldier and Fantastic Four is Academy Award material in comparison. Seriously, go and rent Raptor Island or something like that instead - it's better. All is better.

Guess it's wait for cable. Why does cinema keep making Chiklis its bitch?

Hey, Chiklis is doing better than TV's other balding anti-hero, Gandolfini. Who incidentally was also up for the role of the Thing. That would have been magnificently wrong.

Watched it this weekend--it was really awful. I'd say that if it had been better acted and more poorly shot, it would be spot-on for a Sci Fi channel flick. Agreed that Chiklis was the best thing it in, but frankly that's like consoling yourself by thinking that there's more vitamins in the corn lodged in a steaming mound of crap. I also feel sorry for Mako--the last film that he made before he passed.

And if fab's right, there's already a sequel in the works. Yawn.
