quridley I was very impressed and entertained by the first 2/3rds of this one. The last 3rd is predictable and anti-climatic (run out of money?, but most of the film is funny, quick and very well shot. This is bizarre for Full Moon's catalogue, but especially their recent decline. Full Moon founder Charles Band directs so that explains why there's more energy and attention paid here. Its the cast and screenwriters that really save this, but Band's directing is more competent and free here than his earlier, drab and overly serious films. The film grows repetitive and too stupid, but its a good time-waster. I'm glad Full Moon has finally added minorities and gays to their films but unfortunately its still as comedy and villains. Even on his best day, Charles Band seems 20 years behind the culture. Thats a plus and a minus.

David Roggenkamp There comes a movie with such a grandiose title that it simply 'must' be watched. This one has escaped my grasp at least twice, one due to time constraints and another due to a machine error. That's okay though, I finally got my hands on it and I wasn't disappointed.The movie (at least DVD) starts out with an advertisement for an online movie portal; it's unusually longer than expected and the DVD does away with trailers entirely. The opening advertisement uses one of the models from within the movie to help advertise it – if it wasn't for the model, the advertisement might be skipped; they acknowledge this and further helps with the B-theme of the movie. Oh, B-theme you say? Yes, this move is ripe with b-grade themed horror movie elements. It takes place in a mansion and plays on a theme of super models competing for lead role; all for reality television. There are at least two scenes with nudity, and at least one sex scene gone awry. Nothing really nasty takes place in these scenes and the nudity is nothing to write home about; its probably there simply to help assist the horror movie theme.The movie plays out quite well like this, but this is just the backdrop for the main story. Some evil characters are being called to the real world for a purpose. This purpose is simply to gather something called 'the magic'; evidently someone is misusing it and they intend to put a stop to it. Some characters die and the evil creatures have a point to be made on occasion. There is a Leprechaun and he has some proverbial tropes to make. He otherwise serves as being useless most of the time. There is a plot (apparently), but the movie seems to be more involved with the acting, special effects, backdrop, and otherwise play on B-grade horror. You are simply not going to find a good movie in the sense of good movies here; this movie is deliberately made to fit this theme and you are watching it for that reason. The movie is cheesy, ridiculous, and bad in a good way. I highly recommend the movie to those that like the whole 'B-Theme' of horror movie fame; you will not be disappointed.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=8068).

richieandsam UNLUCKY CHARMSThe second terrible movie of my birthday night was Unlucky Charms. I thought that it couldn't get much worst after Piranhaconda... but I was so wrong.Unlucky Charms is about a reality TV show for models. They are all trying to get the top prize, but one of the judges has got a magic charm bracelet that lets out these creatures who kill off the contestants so that she can have their souls and stay looking young.Sounds rubbish right? It was worst than that.I honestly can only think of one good thing to say about this movie. There was one character in the film that I really liked. He was one of the creatures and he had this huge mouth. The mask and make up was terrible, but I just thought he looked really good.The story was so bad... I hate these reality shows anyway... so to make a movie from it is just hell foe me. The only reality show that appeared in a story that I loved was Dead Set. I can't stand watching these women pretty much begging to be a model. I can't think of anything worst.The acting was diabolical. Every single person in this film should never be put in front of a camera again! Name and shame time... Jessica Lou Allen, Peter Donald Badalamenti II, Roman Beetz, Sophia Beetz and Anna Sophia Berglund... lower your heads in shame.Again just like Piranhaconda, there were plenty of half naked women posing and bouncing about for absolutely no reason. In the end we were just laughing, saying we should get a clicker to count how many times there are pointless shots of women's butts.The worst part for me was the fact that this film didn't even have the comedy value. I laughed a few times at pretty much everything in this film, but once you got about 30 minutes in, there is not much laughter after that.The effects and make up were terrible. You could clearly see the monsters were just wearing rubber masks. They didn't even attempt to blend in the eye sockets. what a joke.I suggest avoiding this film at all costs... it is close to being one of the worst movies I have seen... not quite though.I will give this film 2 out of 10.Not even worth a quote!For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

keith-kanderski Grew up on Full Moon movies and have been saddened by their current state. Can't remember the last Full Moon film I saw (Puppet Master X, maybe), but I remember saying it would be my last. However, in honor of my youth, I keep abreast of the latest Full Moon happenings. I started reading about Unlucky Charms, and it seemed to be getting positive responses. The film is about a Tyra Banks-ish personality running a competition show in order to lure hot, young women for their souls. You see, she is getting old and needs their souls to keep her beautiful, youthful appearance. How does she harness their souls, she possesses the four stones that together allow her to use "The Old Magic." The four stones being together also calls a few monsters who must do the bidding of the person who possesses the stones, whether it is for good or evil. They start assisting her but have a change of heart when they are tired of how horrible this world is. Overall, production values looked really good for a Full Moon movie (looks like they may have used a real camera on this one). Overall, the acting was some of the best I had seen in a Full Moon movie. The story wasn't so ridiculously out there, either, like most modern Full Moon films. The effects are...well, it's a B-Movie. The film isn't scary at all. The creatures are likable, and I'd welcome their return in a sequel or two. This film has restored my faith in Full Moon, and I know I just need to be choosy (like...I will probably skip their next release of Gingerdead Man vs. Evil Bong). As related to other Full Moon movies (not necessarily to films such as Bubba Ho-Tep or Devil's Rejects), I give this one an 8/10. Brought a little nostalgia back to the good days of Full Moon.
