Customer Reviews

botched is just that....botched
Yes I'm going to be the square peg in the round hole.Stephen Dorf was tolerable but the rest...STINKO!Its bloody but stupid.How dare they put this in the same ball field as Shaun Of The Dead.At least Shaun was funny this....not!I like what the other writer said about being drunk to find this amuzing....You'll have 2 hangovers while engaging this rubbish.....MENTAL!

Wicked Good Fun
Botched isn't your conventional slasher flick. You can tell the cast all had a great time while filming. Campy and quirky nothing is as it seems. Botched will have you grossed out one moment but in stitches the next. This film is definitely a good time to be had by all(horror buffs). Grab the popcorn, plant yourself in front of your television and get ready to be wildly entertained!

You need to be REALLY drunk...
This movie starts out really well, I was excited, interested and engaged... then it sank into a quagmire of trying too hard to be funny. The opening felt like your typical mob/crime film then we get to the horror/comedy part and everything went so way over the top that it felt like a student film.

The premise, a couple of thieves steal a golden cross at the request of their crime boss, then during their getaway get stuck in the building with a serial killer, some crazies, a loony security guard, and an assortment of whiny bad guy fodder. True some of the gore was GREAT, I wasn't thrilled with one of the decapitation scenes, but the rest of the gore was spot on. The problem was that the premise got old quickly and the movie starts becoming reminiscent of that old 80's film "Clue" with Tim Currey. Now I loved "Clue" but it also didn't contain a random man dressed up like a barbarian, wielding a sword through the hallways of a high rise.

I have heard this movie compared to "Fido" "Black Sheep" and the like, but sadly I feel that this movie attempted to go there, but never made it. Rather than funny, it was silly, and failed on all attempts by the time you get to the end.

Now I suppose if you are REALLY drunk, this movie might be funny. Other than that go for something else.
