NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

fairlesssam A group of friends on holiday in Lithuania end up in trouble, as two of their party venture to a backstreet tattoo parlour, with a stranger, after a night of partying. This film is a missed opportunity. The lead actor is superb and the cinematography is also very good. The acting of the rest of the cast however is pretty awful. The constant screaming and babbling of the girls is beyond grating. The story is not developed particularly well, and as the tattooist starts to torture his victims all we have is screaming, begging, moaning and sobbing of the irritating fashion known to man. Other than the tattooist himself the characters are not likable, their relationships and personalities are not developed. They are all just completely annoying.

HorrorOverEverything I'm a gore hound, I have and will always love graphic horror films. So I pretty much knew what I was getting when I went into this film. Wasn't expecting a good story, good acting, etc but I was still a little disappointed.So right off the bat you can tell this is pretty much a lower budget version of hostel, just replace the "Hostel" with a tattoo parlor. It really does copy a lot of aspects of Hostel, even has a group of misfit local kids that don't have much to do with the story just like in Hostel. So I'll try to focus on the things that this does different. One is that we actually have a killer, played by Robert LaSardo, he does a decent job but I just didn't find him creepy or intimating. In fact in the film he comes off as a pretty nice guy and the parts where is suppose to be sinister just seem forced.So outside of LaSardo there isn't really much to say about the cast, all the actors who played the victims were pretty meh but it didn't really matter since the whole point of the film is to watch them die not watch them talk. I think my biggest complaint when it comes to the cast would have to be the character of Uta, played by Sara Fabel. She is just a really corny and unrealistic character, they take the whole "Tough Chick" thing way too far and it really takes from the grittiness of the film.OK so now lets focus on the one good aspect of this flick, and that is the gore. Like I said I am a massive gore hound, and this movie did deliver when it came to that. The kill scenes are pretty brutal and they really don't hold back from showing you everything. The only bad thing is that there really isn't a lot of variety in the killing so it gets kind of dull.Overall this isn't a horrible horror film. It has it's moments but if you are not a fan of gore than this film really won't have much to offer you unless you really want to see some soft-core sex scenes, in which case you would probably be better off watch some skinemax.Not the worst but still not very good 4/10

Panama Smith Robert LaSardo could have relied on his obvious physicality to coast through this role in the new film "Anarchy Parlor". But, then again, a man with acting chops like LaSardo needn't rely on anything else but his talent and an intriguing script. Playing the lead character in "Anarchy Parlor", he delivers a captivating, creepy performance; which even has a sense of a lovelorn poet behind the shamanic tale of the artistry behind the Artist.LaSardo's performance had a tranquil power to it, as he exuded caution rather than chaos. Calmness of the Artist was a refreshing comparison to the chaotic frenzy of an archetypal villain. For "Anarchy Parlor", chaos came in the shapely beauty of Sara Fabel; whose snickering, snarling and striking character of Uta almost stole the show from LaSardo. (Well, almost) While his performance was like a scalpel of precision, Sara Fabel's was like an untamed hellcat with fingernails like razors of scary seduction. Like a breakthrough performance of a Vadim vixen or a Bond bad-girl, Sara Fabel truly raises the stakes as a lusty updated Igor assisting in the Artist's work. Another character, Amy (played by Tiffany DeMarco), as the young American on vacation, was very impressive in her symbiotic interaction with the Artist (played by Robert LaSardo). It was a plot point in "Anarchy Parlor" which gave a glint of Svengali-like relationship between the two of them. The overall plot is about six young people in Lithuania on vacation. The character Brock (Ben Whalen) is invited to the parlor by Uta (Sara Fabel). Amy (Tiffany DeMarco) decides to tag along. From there, the mystery and misery of entering the world of the Artist at The Parlor begins to unwind before your eyes. Shot on location in Villnus, "Anarchy Parlor" has a nice production quality. Edd Lukas' cinematography is a vivid postcard of Lithuania. Andrew Pagana's painted portraits in this film are surrealistic and bring The Artist's world to life. Vivianne Be and Adrianna Krikl's music are a grooving compliment to the action on the screen. In this review, I save the best for last. The collaborative team of Devon Downs and Kevin Gage are the driving force behind "Anarchy Parlor". Gage/Downs have taken what could have been just another mindless splatter-fest to another level. Oh, don't get me wrong. Of course there's blood, babes and chills in "Anarchy Parlor" which makes anyone who enjoys horror gasp and slightly jump in their seats. But, in this film, there actually is something more. Gage/Downs' script which Robert LaSardo's character of the Artist delivers shows multi-layers of history, mystery and sense of place, for exactly what's going inside of this seemingly, ordinary tattoo parlor along an unmarked side-street in Lithuania. Devon Downs and Kenny Gage are a creative team bringing a new flavor and vigor to indie cinema on the cutting edge. Their film, "Anarchy Parlor" is a shot of adrenalin in the horror/suspense film genre. If the sight of blood leaves you queasy; or the thought of that tattoo needle nicking your flesh leaves your mind and soul uneasy – then stay far, far away from the "Parlor". But, if you want to be scared and your get your pulse pounding, then "Anarchy Parlor" will scratch your horror itch. The Artist and Uta are awaiting any disrespecting, clueless son-of-a-bitch.

christiank7 I suppose that because of the free teenage aspect that is sold or should I say oversold in this epic fail of a film that the younger audiences will really enjoy its mindless and stupid content. So, beyond the youthful and curvacious tits and asses that seem to be everywhere we see a foul mouthed and vacuous bunch of stereotyped spring break morons visit a rather great European city which is depicted in this film as the Soddom and Ghamoroah of the eastern European theatre. It is not like that for sure but hey its a movie. This film is so bad that even with the greatest sense of fair play I would have to give it a zero. The actors were really pathetic and they really are not actors and that blonde idiot of a goth psycho was the worst of them. I hope this film loses as much money as possible for the producers so that they never ever make another film. Wishful thinking.
