Cherry Bomb [Blu-ray]

Something nobody has ever said but that somebody should (and I'm just about to) is "never follow a scream queen into a horror movie." Just like you don't choose your college because it's the one your significant other is going to, or you don't want to date anyone from work. You should never blindly choose a horror movie because a pretty actress is in it. Perfect example: Angela Bettis. Amazing talent, goddess of the horror industry...but if you follow her without looking you wind up in a pile of crap like Bless the Child. But I'll tell you, I have it bad for Julin (aka Julin Jean). I loved her in Sweatshop & The Final, even though she only had bit parts. And yes, her side career as a lingerie model does provide lots of intriguing imagery. So I knew that I was sort of "letting the little head do the thinking" when I decided to buy the movie Cherry Bomb. Really all I knew about the movie was that Julin was in it. There was a cute girl in red underwear on the thumbnail, but I couldn't tell if it was my lovely J-girl or not. But it was. Julin is in center stage in this one. As a stripper who gets gang raped and then goes on a brutal revenge spree, discovering that she has a special genius for retribution. And you know what? Julin was awesome! She has the chops. Not just the chops for the by-the-books cheesy stripper revenge Grindhouse exploitation flick that this film looks like at the outset, but the chops for the really strong, gritty dramatic moments that are artfully woven in. Among other things this is the best stripper movie I've ever seen--not saying much because there aren't many (horror movies tend to be extreme, and if you're just looking for an easy victim why not write in a prostitute rather than a stripper? It's a more extreme choice...) and the ones there are tend to be way too goofy (eg., Strippers vs Zombies. Ugh). Most poignantly, you get a sense of the general scorn toward strippers that really exists out there...I think there are a lot of people out there who do believe that No Means No is a rule that stops when it comes to any sort of sex industry. If you're doing that sort of sub-legal, taboo job, you really are "asking for it." When in truth my experience is that strippers are no more messed up than any of the rest of us, and tend to possess keys to happiness in life that few others do...and that's my RfEAL LIFE OPINION.

Cherry Bomb is an indie action film that is good, but not great. It has enough action and a fast pace, but not enough nudity for a movie with a stripper as the lead character. Adult film star Nick Manning is perhaps the best thing about the movie, delivering a campy performance as the stripper's boss. Also the movie is quite violent. Recommended.

Don't touch the girl, rule number one at the strip club!It gets broken after being a victim to sexual crimes Cherry goes off the deep end and begins a rampage that would make Jon Rambo call the cops. This is not a T & A flick although you may get a glimsp here and there. This is revenege and Cherry is a cold one.

Okay, so I get it. She was raped by a bunch of horn dogs....and then went to get revenge. Only she lost her mind and her brother. The girl went crazy. She started killing everyone and although they enjoyed it she lost as well. Low budget, but appealing.

I liked this movie. Its gritty and tense. The bad guy isn't the best actor but he doesn't kill the movie.

ITS PRETTY MUCH A CRAPPY MOVIE BUT FUN TO WATCH IN ALL ITS FOOLISHNESS! IF YOU LIKE CAMPY 70'S FEEL TYPE MOVIES THIS ONE WOULD COVER IT ..

this is a very bad B-movie the acting was bad there was not one good this about the movie the hit-man you could tell was wearing an afro wing. so dont get the movie it is just the worst

reminded me of boys against girls girl gets hurt goes after her atackers and kills them no scratches everything played fine

Ein B-Movie der unteren Schublade!Das Cover ist noch das Beste an diesem Streifen!Mit der Story hätte man was machen können.Regie und Darsteller sind aber nicht mal nurmässig, sie sind einfach nur grottenschlecht!Warum der Film mit FSK18 gesetzt ist, entziehtsich mir!Für die Story 2 Sterne.Mehr liegt einfach nicht drin.ld

Ich habe den Film gekauft, da die Rezensionen anderer sehr gut ausfielen. Nachdem ich den Film mir angeschaut habe, kann ich leider nur 3 Sterne geben. Grund: Für mich hat das Drehbuch keine zusammenhängende Handlung. Für mich sind die einzelnen Handlungen einfach nur plump aneinander gefügt, gar nicht zu vergleichen z.B. mit Killer Elite.

Der Film fängt vielversprechend an, insofern, als das die Schauspielerische Leistung zunächst zufriedenstellend ist. Doch als dann die Spielzeug-Pistolen zum Einsatz kommen und andere Special-Effects ausprobiert werden sinkt nicht nur das allgemeine Niveau des Films, sondern auch die Schauspielerische Leistung dramatisch ab. Trotz vielversprechendem DVD-Cover einen Film den man sich kaum bis zum Ende antuen kann. Schade.

habe vielleicht die falsche CD in der Verpackung, aber von Horrorfilm und dann noch uncut bin ich etwas anderes gewöhnt - keine Kaufempfehlung - leider !!

Hey, ein sehr guter Film kann ich nur weiter empfehlen in 3D kommt der Film echt Super zur Geltung ;)
