Heartstopper (2006)

Very well executed

Thanks for the memories!

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

A psychopath, supposedly executed via electric chair, somehow survives to terrorize a hospital full of nurses, doctors, and patients, in pursuit of a suicidal teenage young woman the object of bullying and ridicule in school. You can shoot him multiple times, break two bottles of sulfuric acid on his face, and stab him in the heart numerous times with a scalpel, yet thanks to his allegiance to "the dark lord", this bloodthirsty maniac doesn't stop. Chambers(James Binkley), the killer, is after Sara Wexler(Meredith Henderson)for her body is where he wants to invade with his evil spirit. So, Sara, along with a fellow teenager she meets while in a hospital room, Walter(Nathan Stephenson), must evade Chambers while everyone else is butchered, their hearts ripped from the chest while the killer goes on and on about how God has forsaken them. The only merit this movie has going for it is the gore which is graphic and bloody. Chambers, at one point, massacres an entire room full of people, even pulling apart one patient's chest so he can extract the poor guy's heart. Robert Englund has a supporting part as the sheriff who helped bring Chambers to justice only to see him returned to life once again, the result not in the policeman's favor. The hospital setting is dark and murky, so a lot of the violence is hard to decipher. The plot is absurd and just gets more and more stupid as it continues.

I just watched it and I am angry. How can they be allowed to produce such a bad film! For your own sake, don't watch it!! You'll save yourself a irritating ordeal. There is nothing with this film that is good.. I normally Like low-budget horrors and slashers like the ones from Troma, but this is a new low. The acting is really poor, the directing sucks, the story is laughable but the worst thing about it is the dialogue. Save the world and burn every copy ever produced of this piece of S***. If I could rate it lower, I would!! Minus 10 is more suitable. An advice to all the actors in it; Stop try to act. You are terrible!! You don't have to take my word for it. But you should. //An angry Markus

I have had my eye on this movie since it came out but just got around to watching it last night.I wanted to see it mainly because of Robert(Freddy)Englund.He was funny in this movie.I wonder if the producer of this movie originally had Robert in mind to play the serial killer role instead.I think I would have preferred it if he was playing the satanic serial killer role instead that gets executed and then comes back to life to wreak havoc.We all know he can pull it off.He is so good at playing bad guys. This movie turned out to be a bit of a b movie.I thought it would be more serious.I have seen this plot twice before.There was a good horror film made back in 1995 called Sleepstalker-evil never dies, about a serial killer on death row who is executed and resurrected as an evil sandman.And then there was the one called last rites which is also very similar.I liked the b rated flashes of lightning during the storm in heartstopper and all the campy acting.I didn't mind this movie.It had a lot of gore and was at least watchable.

Robert Englund - Good Over the top gore - good And thats about it you'll probably only have seen this if your a horror fan and if you are i'd wait till its on TV the two above mentioned is a bout all the positive to be said for this lame rerun of Shocker. Outcast female lead, terribly unscary killer, clunky dialogue and about the worst ending you could imagine....tornado please!!!!Nothing interesting happens in the first quarter of the movie then gorehounds get a good solid 10 minutes of splatter and gore then the story powers on to its conclusion with about as much intelligence as a lobotomised sheep and a plot thats about as interesting as watching your fingernails grow.All in all a pointless experience.
