All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Frayed (2007)

Starring: Tony Doupe, Anthony Blakely
Director: Norbert Caoili & Rob Portmann

Premise:
As a child Kurt killed his mother. Years later he escapes from the mental institution and leaves a trail of bodies. His father, the Sheriff, must track him down before he gets to finds his younger sister.

My Take:
A slow moving film with some twists and turns, some obvious and others not. It could have used a few minutes trimmed. The movie has some gruesome kills, they look very realistic. The opening sequence is flat out gross.
In the end, I say watch this movie. It's better than a lot of them in this sub-genre.

Rating: In the middle (with upside)
