Topic: Deadly Friend


In the News (Tue 14 Feb 12)

  
  'Deadly Friend'
On the whole, "Deadly Friend" is a routine horror movie, poorly photographed (by old-time cinematographer Philip Lathrop) and poorly performed (with the exception of New York stage actress Anne Twomey, as Paul's mother).
Craven doesn't explore the implications of his story with anything like the thematic richness or the over-the-top morbidity of, say, Stuart Gordon's otherwise similar "Re-Animator." Instead, he's content with the rigid cliche's of a revenge plot, as the revived Samantha, imbued with superpowers, takes off after all those who have wronged her.
And that makes "Deadly Friend" a movie whose ho is exceeded only by its hum.

 Scifilm -- Reviews, DEADLY FRIEND (1986)
DEADLY FRIEND is not as much of a shocker as was Craven's ELM STREET films or SCREAM, but the film is an interesting turn on the "Frankenstein" tale.
Deadly Friend is based on Diana Henstell's novel Friend about a young teenage boy named Paul Conway (Matthew Laborteaux) who specializes in science and has his own invention, a yellow robot named BeeBee.
DEADLY FRIEND was not one of the major hit films of 1986, but did get some critical acclaim.

 Deadly Friend (1986) | Classic-Horror
Deadly Friend, directed by Wes Craven - best known for Nightmare on Elm Street - has much of Craven's positive attributes, while at the same time bordering on a silliness that may turn some horror fans off.
At school, Paul is discovering how to reanimate dead brains, and when a couple close friends are killed, he puts his knowledge to use in a manner not completely unlike Dr. Frankenstein.
Once she becomes the focus, Deadly Friend is often scary and it's occasionally gory.

It's also true of some of some of his lesser known work, like his 1986 film "Deadly Friend." In this film, teenage science wiz Paul Conway (Matthew Laborteaux) has come with his mother Jenny (Anne Twomey) to the town of Welling, where he can study brain functions with specialists who work at the town hospital.
"Deadly Friend" is not the most original premise, for its story line is much like "Frankenstein." Unfortunately, I wasn't the least bit scared.
"Deadly Friend" proves that teenagers don't have to live on Elm Street to participate in a nightmare.

from Lake Isabella, CA Deadly Friend should probably be good for fans of cult horror films, and this is nothing like some of Wes Craven's past and present films such as "Nightmare on Elm Street" or "Scream", but it does have a good combination of both the horror classics "Frankenstein" and "Bride of Frankenstein".
Deadly Friend does have some good scares and above all gore and a good solid cast from teen stars Matthew Laborteaux, Michael Sharrett and a young beautiful Kristy Swanson in the title role.

 Moviez Review :: Deadly Friend
DEADLY FRIEND lacks the focus A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET had and makes up for it with scenes of graphic death and buckets of blood.
DEADLY FRIEND feels alot like his later Horror flick SHOCKER really.
But where Nightmare on Elm Street tends to be repetitive in some of the slashing scenes, Deadly Friend consistantly develops into a much feared and dreaded conclusion.

At the risk of invoking an old cliché, Deadly Friend is so bad it's good.No, scratch that.
Deadly Friend is so unbelievably bad it's actually great!Deadly Friend is a misfire of biblical proportions.
Deadly Friend is so ill conceived, so poorly acted, and so terribly executed, it's a wonder that Wes Craven was ever given money to make another film.

The United States must soon decide if the "new," "market-oriented" Russia is a close friend or deadly foe.
At present, U.S. policy seems intent upon placing its trust in a government in Moscow which is attempting to destroy freedom in Ukraine, Russia's neighbor to the West.
The words and actions of Putin and the government he leads may be closer to a determined, threatening rival than that of a dependable friend -- a stark, cold reality which U.S. business and government must face.

Ok, we can tell you that HARDER FASTER DEADLY is fronted by STEPHANIE NEXUS who after parting ways with her band GAZELLE, decided she wanted to do something far more punk rock, far more rock n' roll, in short, a band that was far more "her" then her last band was able to be.
After a few false starts and attempts she finally realized that the best way to find good musicians was to steal them, well..."borrow" them at least, so she collected a group of friends and musicians to start the ball rolling...and it worked.
