Dani Filth, David McEwen, Rebecca Eden

A gruesome homage to the cult Amicus anthology Asylum, Cradle of Fear unfolds four screamplays all linked by the unspeakable need of an incarcerated child killer to wreak vengeance on those responsibl...( read more  read more... )e for his imprisonment. Helped by deranged angel Dani Filth, who leaves a trail of charnel house death in his crimson wake, the cannibal convict forces two Goth vamps to endure a one night stand from hell, two tough female robbers to see through each other, an obscenely rich coke-head to chop up more than a few lines and an internet surfer to descend into madness when he uncovers the ultimate web depravity.

    When you read "The best british gore film since Hellraiser" on top of a dvd cover you immediately get high hopes.Unfortunately this doesn't live up to those high hopes.It's a B-movie and you can tell going by the dodgy acting and cheap effects.It's ok though.Sort of.A mental seri...( read more)al killer called Kemper is locked up in an asylum but has a servant on the outside to do his murders for him and you basically see the victims stories and their demise as the film goes on.There's some very gory moments and the soundtracks not bad and feature's Cradle of Filth,whose vocalist,Dani Filth,plays Kemper's servant.Overall,despite a couple of unessesary gore moments,and the dodgy acting,for a B-movie,it's not bad i suppose.

    Hit and miss horror anthology with a fine cast. Worth watching for the last story.

    I used to love this. A 'homage' to the horror anthology films of the 70s and 80s, it's not meant to be taken seriously. It's so bad it's good!

    This wasnt the best of quality, but you gotta admit, the point of this was simply GORE. and they suceeded(: Dani Filth is amazing and deffenatly brought joy to me. he is simply a talented artist and actor. i recomend this ONLY if you are a fan of Cradle of Filth or Dani... if you...( read more) arent then you most likley wont enjoy this. i noticed they used props from the same music video "from the cradle to enslave". Well done!

    Because it's Dani Filth! That's why!

    Some silly Goth fare, but a very gruesome horror film with some ultra-violent SFX makeup scenes that are over the top. A contemporary presentation of good old fashioned gross out conventions.

    For fans of Cradle of Filth!
    I love the music video's that this death metal band pull off (Cradle of Filth). I also thought if Dani Fith released a film it would be one of the best horror films ever. Up there will the Night of the living Dead and Zombie flesh eaters. Sadly its w...( read more)ay off the mark!
    He tries to shock watchers with lots of blood and and strange pedo scences.
    But at the end off the day its full of bad acting by young english goth girls.
    It was worth watching but maybe only the once.
    I would advise any one who is thinking of buying this to watch feardotcom first still not a great film but better than this.
    Dani filth dont give up your day job.
