The Caretaker (2008)
Horror/Comedy Rated R
Plot
A group of teenage boys out to give their girlfriends a good scare on Homecoming night, which also happens to be Halloween, head to an abandoned house in an out-of-the-way fruit orchard where they uncover the story of a real life urban legend.
Acting
Jennifer Tilly is pretty good in her limited role, Judd Nelson doesn't have enough screen time to judge it, and the rest of the cast are pretty bad.
Gore
All gore happens off-screen, all we see is some bloody bodies.
Sex/Nudity
Even at 50+ years old Jennifer Tilly still spends the entire movie with her breasts barely covered, one women is seen topless while teasing her boyfriend.
Final Thoughts
Asside from the lack of gore, the largest problem with this movie was the fact that they wasted the only 2 talented actors they had, as Jennifer Tilly is only in it for 10-15 minutes, and is completely comedic relief, and Judd Nelson's screen time totals about 1 and half or 2 minutes. The rest of the cast (lead by Jennifer Freeman) was a classic example of studio's going for good looking people with no acting ability or charisma. While this was a bloodless and poorly acted slasher movie, that could not have been more of a cookie cutter movie, I still, for some unknown reason, enjoyed it for more often than not. It was worth the rental for me, and maybe for others, even if, other than the hilarious "Boob-O-Lantern" sequence, i can't figure out why.
