Heebie Jeebies (2013) Reviews
Wow... LOL... SyFy has done it again!
This doesn't seem to be a "SyFy Original" but it aired on the SyFy channel's Most Dangerous Night on Television. I have to say, it's yet another stupid horror movie filled with lame dialog, mediocre acting and a creature that had to be one of the worst monsters I've seen since the flood of CGI creatures into the film industry. Still, for some reason, I enjoyed it. Yeah, there, I said it... I actually enjoyed it... I can't explain why but it made me laugh. While most of the performances and dialog in general was pretty bad, there were a few "one liners" that I thought were funny. One other "plus" was one of the female characters. Cathy Shim's character "Theresa Lim" was pretty hot. If you're really, Really, REALLY BORED, you might enjoy this movie. If not, load up the NetFlix and find something decent.
One of the Weirdest Monsters Ever
Heebie Jeebies (2013) ** (out of 4) Yet another SyFy film, this one about a bunch of idiots who crack open a mine and soon an evil gold monster (yes you read that right) comes to life and starts killing people. HEEBIE JEEBIES is without question very clichés in many ways, features bland characters, a predictable plot and several other negative things but at the same time you really have to give the film credit for coming up with one of the most bizarre monsters in recent memory. If you watch all of these new SyFy films monthly then you know that the monsters usually rank from awful to lame but both of those words fit the creature here but you also have to say it's original. I say this because something being original isn't a good thing and that's the case here. I give the filmmakers credit for coming up with such a weird design but at the same time you can't be scared of this thing because it's just too strange looking to take serious. It's basically a two headed monster that has an "open" stomach where it came eat people. I guess the best way to describe this "stomach" is that it looks like the underbelly of a lawn mower with the blades being the teeth here. This is such an incredibly silly looking monster but at the same time you can't help but keep your eyes on it. So, in a weird way, the monster both helps and hurts the film. The performances are actually somewhat better than you'd normally see in a movie like this with Robert Belushi actually turning in a fine performance and HAPPY DAYS fans will enjoy seeing Marion Ross here for a split second. Both Cathy Shim and Lucille Soong are extremely attractive and helped keep this guy's attention going. The film offers up some pretty good gore along the way but the fast editing usually interrupted this. HEEBIE JEEBIES isn't a very good film but it's certainly a lot entertaining than some that turn up on SyFy. I think the film could have been better but the last half of the film starts to spend way too much time with some boring supporting characters. Still, the weird monster and a great looking (if you know what I mean) tennis match makes it worth sitting through for fans of the genre.
Far from the Midas touch
A couple of dimwitted guys looking for gold in a mine accidentally unleash a monster that appears to have several human heads and arms and bleeds gold. Meanwhile, local deputy Todd Crane (Robert Belushi, son of Jim) is trying to prove he can handle his stressful new job, despite needing to breathe into a paper sack while giving an old lady a speeding ticket. As folks start getting murdered, he has to man up and soon discovers this thing is the wrathful incarnation of 5 Chinese mine workers who were buried alive in the mine in the 1880s. I think I watch a SyFy premiere once every 6 years and this one I caught last night. Things certainly haven't changed (or improved). Director Thomas L. Callaway has done tons of work as a cinematographer and handles the proceedings here well enough. But it is pretty mundane stuff. That is pretty surprising when you realize the writer was Trent Haaga, who had previously co-written subversive stuff like CITIZEN TOXIE (2000) and DEADGIRL (2008). I was hoping he might have a wicked monster tale up his sleeve, but this is by-the-numbers, dull stuff. Not even his humor is on display. I guess the only thing that makes it worthwhile is seeing Marion Ross and the return of 80s horror staple Jennifer Rubin, both in small roles.
my!!
What a piece of garbage this one is, poorly written, poorly directed, acting is not good, the eye candy is kind of poor. The CGI, for get about it. Five Asian miners are trapped underground by a cave in in the 1800's. One of the men's wives is a witch and curses the mine. Many years later an event occurs that releases the vengeful entity. It is attracted to gold since that is what was in the shaft that they were mining when they were abandoned to their deaths instead of the mine owner trying to rescue them. The five dead miners are united into a grotesque being that has a thirst for the gold they never got. In its search for the gold it comes across several people, some die and some run. The current mine owner is the heir of the original bad guy owner. He turns out to be a real nut case and gets his in the end but not before a few people are killed. Not a very good movie in my opinion. This is another one that I wonder why was it made????
If there is one thing to remember this for, is the worst monster in movie history
Was this a SyFy Original? The production info doesn't mention, but this has Syfy written all over it: terrible acting, hilariously bad dialogue, weak plot, poorly developed characters and a godawful CGI monster. In truth, the monster is one of the messiest creatures I've ever seem. The design is already bad enough, but the awful CGI and the clumsy way it moves on-screen made me laugh way too much. It is a refreshment to see something besides the usual giant animal/hybrids, but c'mon! As often with SyFy pictures, this falls in the 'so bad it's funny' kind of film. The combination of SyFy's usual terrible dialogue/acting makes most of the scenes funny enough to be watchable, especially with the likable Robert Belushi and the delightful Cathy Shim. However, it's Michael Badalucco that steals the show with his over-the-top acting and cheesy one-liners. This little Z-movie (it still has a long way to go to become even a B one) is just your usual SyFy film: ambitious, somewhat likable in its badness, but overall you can easily find something better.
