Simon says 2006 putlockers9/28/2023 ![]() Crispin's performance, while creepy, unique, and striking - as is his wont - is flawed in the over-emphasis of his slack-jawed accent. Simon Says stars Crispin Glover as twins with a HEAVY Southern accent (think Sheriff J. We had a GREAT time hooting and hollering at all the splattery fun. I saw this VERY FUN and gory movie last night at a preview screening at Austin's Fantastic Fest with a full auditorium of horror movie freaks. SAY IT ISN'T SO! It would be a travesty for this film to go straight-to-video, since it is best enjoyed in a theater environment with a large group of folks with whom to share the experience. ![]() Title (Brazil): "Siga o Mestre" ("Follow the Master")ĮDIT: I just heard today (9/27/06) that Simon Says does not currently have a theatrical distributor. But the most irritating in this story is the ability and invulnerability of his undestroyable character. Crispin Glover performs an annoying character that keeps saying "and you forgot to say Simon says" (even in the end of the credits). "Simon Says" is another absurd and stupid slasher that follows the style of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Wrong Turn" and other films of this sub-genre of horror. They find a paradisiac spot to camp at the riverside, but Simon and Stanley transform their holiday in a nightmarish night. Then they meet the deranged retarded Simon (Crispin Glover) in the gas station and Riff has a friction with the guy. They meet two strange graveyard diggers that advise them to leave the place otherwise they could be murdered. The pothead Zack (Greg Cipes) the sweethearts Kate (Margo Harshman) and Riff (Artie Baxter) the slut Vicky (Carrie Finklea) and the spoiled Ashley (Kelly Vitz) travel by van to the backwoods to camp. I personally guarantee "Simon Says" is the ideal midnight-movie crowd pleaser, terrific entertainment to watch with a bunch of buddies. Even the whole clichéd "family reunion" sequence near the end of the film immediately reminded me off several titles on my endless list of 80's favorites. Textbook slasher-fodder, but I couldn't possibly care less because "Simon Says" is a highly welcome return to the outlandish splatter fun of the 80's. The camping teenagers are your average routine and colorless lambs to the slaughter, including the pot-head, the muscled macho, the bimbo (who's likely to get topless at some point in the movie), the girl who always complains and the one remotely intelligent & likable chick who will presumably survive the massacre. One moment he's an ultra-creepy maniac who makes eyeless puppets out of his victims, yet the next he's a sneering lunatic who crushes little fluffy dogs with his feet and yells out silly lines like "You forgot to say Simon Says!!". Perhaps that's just because he is Crispin Glover and always has this aura of morbidity surrounding him. Although constantly exaggerating in performing his odd roles, he somehow occasionally manages to look creepy & menacing nonetheless. Crispin Glover (unintentionally?) finds a perfect balance between creepiness and humor. ![]() Of course, there absolutely isn't any tension or plot-development and the only story twist that is worth mentioning can easily be guessed long before it's revealed on screen. Needless to say Simon's macabre games result in a gigantic blood bath, with gory impalement, decapitations and dismemberment. Whilst enjoying random sex and soft-drugs, drooling Simon sneaks up on the teenagers and kills them as well as some other unfortunate bystanders in some of the most ingenious ways you'll ever see! Simon is particularly creative with pickaxes, as he developed several wonderful traps and ambushes all over the woods that mercilessly catapult the rusty weapons in the direction of the victims. Glover stars in a double role as the redneck twin brothers Simon & Stanley, terrorizing a van full of empty-headed teenagers on their camping trip in the woods. ![]() and so does his equally sick-in-the-head brother Stanley. Ah finally, here's another absurdly grotesque and over-the-top cheesy gorefest-slasher that could have come straight out of the 1980's, with its demented killer, stereotype characters and downright insane story lines! Many avid fans agree Crispin Glover is a genuine hero of the horror genre, and he obviously experienced the time of his life starring in this unspeakably nasty homage to bad B-movies & backwoods exploitation horror.
