sai ( the producer ) saw madras café and felt i would be right for the role of prabhavati in oohalu gusa gusa lade .

oohalu gusagusalade ( english : imaginations whispered ) is a 2014 telugu romantic comedy written and directed by telugu actor srinivas avasarala marking his debut as a director . the film , produced by sai korrapati and rajani korrapati on vaaraahi chalana chitram banner , features naga shourya , rashi khanna and srinivas avasarala in the lead .

besides creating digital properties , the company has co - produced telugu movies such as oohalu gusagusalade , dikkulu choodaku ramayya , tungabhadra and raja cheyyi vesthe together with its angel investor . the company also owns monkstar music , a platform for independent artists . sillymonks is present in south india , mumbai and los angeles .

she plays a leading role in her first telugu film oohalu gusa gusa lade ( directed by avasarala srinivas ) that releases this friday , june 20 .

we almost thought of 40 - 50 titles to get the aptly suitable title for the film . one fine day while i was listening to an old song ‘oohalu gusagusalaade……’ from the film ‘bandipotu’ , i felt that the first line got connected to the story . that’s how i selected the title ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ .

now , venkat’s cinematography in oohalu gusagusalade is being lauded for befitting the narrative and not trying to rise above what’s being demanded by the script . this is his first telugu film and venkat feels he has come full circle . “i was born in guntur and did mechanical engineering from chennai , before moving to the us , ” he says .

" just watched oohalu gusa gusalade . enjoyed the film . especially sri and shourya . congratulations to the whole team " , ntr posted in his microblogging page .

now yet another actor has wielded the mega phone for the first time to direct a film . he is srinivas avasarala , who has proved himself as an actor with the films ' ashta chamma ' , ' pilla zamindar ' etc . he is coming up with the film , ' oohalu gusagusalade ' , which is touted to be a beautiful romantic entertainer .

but let us warn you that the kind of humour in oohalu gusagusalade and slow narration may not be everyone’s idea of a romantic film . however , those who like slow - paced romantic entertainers and intelligent comedy are bound to enjoy the film . also , the film’s length should have been cut short and the director should have taken care to give equal prominence to supporting cast .

‘oohalu gusa gusa laade ‘ is a romantic comedy that will make for a great weekend watch with its good entertainment levels . this is a film that will do well in multiplex areas .

the movie is releasing in over 200 theatres all over the world . director srini avasarala and the lead pair naga shaurya and rashi khanna are very happy with the interest being shown by big budgeted films producer sai korrapati regarding the publicity of a small film like ' oohalu gusagusalade ' . they have also wished sai korrapati , who is celebrating birthday today ( 19 . 06 . 14 ) , a very happy birthday .

a common friend , bala rajasekhar , sent venkat’s work to srinivas avasarala and he got to work on oohalu gusagusalade . “looking back , i feel grateful for the faith srinivas avasarala and producer sai korrapati had in a debutant like me , ” he says . shooting a film with limited budget had its challenges . “coming from a film school , i love challenges . the prospect of having to work around limitations triggers creativity , ” he adds .

varahi chalana chitram has produced the romantic film oohalu gusa gusa laade . the movie has released across the world and srinivas avasarala is making his debut as a director . let us see how this movie is now .

the film has completed all the formalities including the censor work and is ready for a release on june 20th . talking about the film , sai korrapati says " srinivas avasarala has filmed ' oohalu gusagusalade ' very well . the songs composed by kalyani koduri have attracted both the youth and the family audiences . our film has got a clean u certificate and will be released on june 20th . we hope that this film will become another good hit in our banner " .

naga shaurya is the lead actor and raashi khanna of ' madras cafe ' and ' manam ' fame is the lead actress in this film . sai korrapati , the producer of big films like ' eega ' and ' legend ' , has produced this film on vaaraahi chalana chitram banner . this film will be hitting the screens on may 20th and hope ' oohalu gusagusalade ' turns out to be a big hit for srinivas avasarala and he makes his mark as a director .

but avasarala’s performance and impressive lead pair more than make up for these shortcomings . the director also manages to pull off the love track between the lead pair successfully . he proves that he can deftly handle other emotions apart from comedy . of course , he does fail to fill in some gaps especially towards the climax . had he taken care of them , he would have been a complete success in his very first attempt . in all , oohalu gusagusalade will attract class audiences who prefer subtle romantic comedies .

the story of ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ revolves around a guy who aspires to become a news anchor and how changes occur in his life with a girl’s entry . it’s a complete romantic comedy film . posani and prithvi’s characters will catch audience’s attention .

i prepared the script of ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ with the intention to direct the film by myself and approached several producers with it . all like the script but had their own reasons for not making the film . at one point of time , few producers even planned to make the film with my script and other directors . but finally , my script went into the hands of sai korrapati garu . kalyani koduri introduced me to him and that’s how i got the opportunity to direct ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ .

what is “oohalu gusagusalade” about ? after going through numerous marriage proposals uday bhaskar ( srinivas avasarala ) finally likes a girl immensely and wants to marry her at any way possible . but his ways to win over the girl forms a bad opinion in her mind . sirisha ( rashee khanna ) agrees to marry him only if she finds someone even worse than him in behavior . uday sets up venki ( naga shourya ) to be that person . what happens in the end is what the film showcases in a very classy manner with lots of comic situations in second half .

of late many actors , actresses and directors are making their debut in tollywood with small films . ' oohalu gusa gusa lade’ is one such film with the director srinivasa rao avasarala and the lead pair naga shourya and raashi khanna making their debut with the film .

after a good reception from audience within india and from the us , avasarala took to facebook and shared his views on the script and characters in the play . he was deeply thrilled when people asked why he chose nara rohith in the movie . “i think nara rohith fits the part perfectly . i was looking for someone who could act as an elder brother and he did a great job for me . i am really happy with the response . naga shourya is also a wonderful actor and in this movie he expressed his emotions with much more intensity than in oohalu gusagusalade , ” said avasarala .

oohalu has opened new doors in the telugu film industry but venkat is looking forward to return to the us . “i want to work on both international projects and telugu films . it will be tough , but i hope i will be able to work in both countries , ” he signs off .

a self - confessed woody allen fan , srinivas avasarala went all out to indicate that his directorial debut , oohalu gusagusalade , will have allen’s influences with the first still where the principal characters stand against a poster of annie hall . as the film unfolds , the references get pronounced . in the initial scenes , characters express themselves to the audience , with a little help from a voiceover . midway into the film , we see avasarala in his library where books on woody allen figure prominently . but for most part of the film , avasarala moves away from these obvious references and soaks in the story he wants to narrate . when he gets down to doing that , he reveals fine writing skills that blend smart humour into the narrative , and his ability to execute a good script getting enough support from actors , the technical team and the composer .

srinivas avasarala , has put an impression on the audience’s minds by showing great ease in his performance in ‘ashta chemma’ . later he worked for few films as an actor and writer as well before he turned director for this romantic comedy ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ . sai korrapati of ‘eega’ and ‘andala rakshasi’ fame , who has passion for small films with good content , encouraged this young talent to bring out his directorial skills . introducing naga shourya as hero and rashi khanna of ‘madras café’ as heroine , srinivas avasarala made his directorial debut with ‘oohalu gusagusalaade’ under sai korrapati production banner with rajani korrapati as producer and sai sivani as its presenter . the film has hit theaters today ( june 20 , 2014 ) across two states andhra pradesh and telangana and at overseas in over 200 theaters . on this occasion , an interview has been given by actor cum director srinivas avasarala . here are few excerpts from his interview .

uday babu is a channel owner . ub ( avasarala srinivas ) an aged bachelor likes prabhavati sireesha ( rasi khanna ) . he decides to marry her only . he tries to impress in several ways . but fails to work out . venkateswarlu ( naga sourya ) is his employee . his ambition is to become a news reader and a very tactfully flirts girls . uday wants to use venkat and his ideas to trap prabhavati . uday plans a plot to send venky for first looks ( pelli choopulu ) and tries to thinks of convincing sirisha to reject him so that ub’s line would be clear . uday offers a news reader post if sirisha marries him . in a can’t but situation venky accepts and goes to the first look meet . venky discovers that sirisha is none other than the girl whom she loved two years ago in vizag . why sirisha and venky separated ? will he sacrifice his news reader post for love ? will he ensure success of his boss ? the answer to these question is oohalu gusagusalade . .

this year , i watched more films than ever before ( over 65 if i’m showing off ) and enjoyed every second of pouring over their details , scrutinising and analysing them and their merits , and just generally being a nerd . i did have a full list of ten ( it included haider , jigarthanda and dedh ishqiya if you were wondering ) but i had nothing to say about them . they were perfect , solid , inventively sculpted pieces of cinema . i agreed with their aesthetics and politics . but it’s really hard for me to say what makes them so great . they just…are ! so the films in this list are simply the most interesting ; the films which are perhaps not always perfect , but could not have been made in any other way , for any other audience , in any other language or cultural climate . they are works that have surprised me , will continue to surprise me , and that i’m sure will prove to be of great cultural importance to the industries they were produced in . i hope that all makes sense ! so here we go : 7 . oohalu gusagusalade

venkateshwar rao or venky ( naga shourya ) has a way with words . he strikes conversations with ease , has many young women as friends at his workplace and dreams of being a newsreader of repute like his father but is stuck with tele - advertising , peddling one product after another . his boss uday ( srinivas avasarala ) has no intention of letting him be a newsreader . despite being well read and suave , uday is at best clumsy when it comes to women and can put no amount of textbook gyaan to practice . uday needs venky’s help to help him woo a potential bride his family zeroes in on through a marriage broker .

as much as avasarala lets his lead characters bloom , he doesn’t ignore the small characters . there’s the dhobi who slyly notes down the phone number rashi scribbles on a dirty car glass ; there’s a supportive mother who nudges naga shourya to listen to his heart and there’s the father who hardly speaks a word , limited by his paralysis , and shows a flicker of hope on seeing his son play act a news - reading session .

humour prevents the later portions from getting boring and predictable . the tussle between a man who , despite all the hand - holding , can make a mess of expressing his love and the man who knows to charm his woman but is restricted by circumstances makes for an engaging watch .

both naga shourya and rashi khanna match up to avasarala and prove they are actors with potential . kalyani malik’s melodies and background score are an asset .

you can update your channel preference from the settings menu in the header menu .

many actors have turned directors in the past after making some successful films , but only a few are successful . in the recent past , vennela kishore had tried his luck at direction , but he was not successful . now he is back to acting . even veteran actors like m . s . narayana have not tasted success in direction .

sai korrapati , the producer of films like ' eega ' and ' legend ' , has produced this film on vaaraahi chalan chitram banner . the songs composed by kalyani koduri were released recently and got a good response .

naga shaurya was ���on the verge of calling it quits��� when varahi chalana chitram banner issued a casting call for young actors . ���having waited for over four - and - a - half years to get that elusive break , i was beginning to have second thoughts about continuing in showbiz , ��� recalls shaurya , who decided to take one last crack at being an actor and went for the auditions , where he was asked to do a comedy scene by director avasarala srinivas .

���i was very nervous because he ( avasarala ) is such a fine actor , ��� admits shaurya who managed to convince the filmmakers that he had it in him to be a solo lead . ���when i look back , it feels unreal , ��� says the actor who made his onscreen debut with chandamama kathalu recently . he is now playing the lead in the romantic comedy ,

. shaurya is paired opposite raashi khanna in the movie ���it���s a clean romantic entertainer that will ring a smile to people���s faces .

the romance will be heartwarming and will connect with the audiences of all age groups , ��� says shaurya , who is playing a guy called venky in the movie set in hyderabad and vizag . ���the film explores how the idea of being in love changes from late teens to the mid - twenties . i play an engineering graduate who falls in love with prabhavati ( raashi ) . how the love story twists and turns until i get a job is the crux of the plot , ��� the actor informs .

apparently , director srinivas avasarala plays naga shaurya���s overbearing boss in the movie . ���the episodes between me and avasarala are going to be the most hilarious ones in the movie , ��� says the actor .

around 2000 applications have come for the casting call ad which we gave for the film . naga shourya’s photos caught my attention . i was also impressed with his show reel and okayed him instantly . similarly rasi khanna’s performance in ‘madras café’ was pleasing . so i approached her and signed for the film . she played a tricky role in the film . i’m very happy with the casting of this film . both perfectly suited for the lead characters and showed great ease in acting . they did cent percent justice to their roles .

yes , you heard it right . i played the ceo of a tv channel . producer sai never encouraged me to do any role and suggested me to focus completely on direction . but i managed to shoot few scenes in two days in his absence . later he couldn’t deny it after watching the rushes .

i worked as an actor and writer for few films . and for the first time i directed a film . i prepared three pucca scripts and choose to do this film first because it’s a safe bet for the producer . i still have two scripts in hand . on the other hand , i got bored with comedy and romantic roles . i aim to do variety roles and wish to be part of a good film . so i neither want to settle down completely as a director or an actor .

yes , kalyani’s music is an asset to the film . he composed beautiful songs . response was fabulous for all songs .

sai korrapati’s production values and aggressive publicity have helped your film to reach theaters fast .

i’ve signed yet another film for producer sai korrapati garu . film with naga chiatanya has not yet been finalized . i’ve decided not to take any hasty decision and step forward with proper planning . on the other hand , i’m playing a role in gopichand’s film which is being made under uv creations banner . i’m also doing a character in allari naresh’s ‘bandipotu’ .

debut cinematographer venkat c . dilip feels honing his skills in the us helped him take a new look at cinema

venkat c . dilip submitted his thesis as part of his course in cinematography only to be told by the professor that his work was overshadowing the film instead of seamlessly blending with it . venkat made the necessary changes and re - submitted his thesis . he remembered this lesson when he stepped out of film school to work as a camera assistant for hollywood projects like savannah and crackerjack and short films such as passing through traveling down and the visions of dylan bradley . “i observed that the work of many cinematographers tends to dominate a project and didn’t want to do that , ” he says .

like many youngsters aspiring to learn the basics of filmmaking , venkat too decided to train to be a director . but rather than taking up courses for script writing and direction , he was drawn to cinematography . “the course also taught me editing , which is essential to be a filmmaker , ” he says .

during the three - year masters programme at savannah college of arts and design , he got to intern on the sets of robert redford’s the conspirator . “i was the only asian on the sets . from guntur to training with robert redford’s unit , it was a big shift . my father had egged me on to go to the us . i am so glad he did ; my learning and work experience there changed my thought process . i learnt to look at a film differently , ” he says . venkat’s parents are film buffs and academicians now working in swaziland .

the portions between rashi khanna and naga shourya in vizag have drawn attention . “the vizag locales were refreshing . i wanted this portion of the film to look beautiful , yet not artificial , ” he says . appreciation had been coming in from his ilk as well . “senthil kumar appreciated the beach song for its colours and texture and p . g vinda liked the night photography . that was a bit tricky ; we had limited lights and had to make the scenes appear natural , ” says venkat .

story n venkateswara rao ( naga shourya ) is an youngster whose ambition is to become a famous tv newsreader just like his bedridden father . he works in a tv studio that is owned by uday ( srinivas avasarala ) . uday is a socially awkward guy and is bad at communicating with women . venkateswara rao falls in love with prabhavathi ( rashi khanna ) few years back when he visits a relative in vizag . they break - up because of a misunderstanding . the rest of the story is all about what happens when uday wants to impress upon prabhavathi .

actors : naga shourya looks sweet and lovable despite having a body language that suits aggressive characterization . for a first timer , he does a decent job . rashi khanna is impressive with her looks as well as performance . she has a pleasant screen presence . srinivas avasarala has got very good scenes in the second half and he excels with extempore performance . he reminded me of bill murry ( especially in lost in translation ) when it comes to facial expressions in close - up shots in second half . music director kalyann koduri has done a cameo of a black ticket seller and he exudes confidence . all others are appropriately cast and has performed well .

story - screenplay - direction : the story penned by srinivas avasarala is interesting . he gave a different treatment to the plot . it’s a plain and simple narration with loads of dialogues . it’s a kind of plot that also works for theater ( plays ) as it has limited characters and limited locations . srini has his own style of tongue - in - cheek classy humor and he implemented the same for the characters in this movie . it worked very well for the scenes he is involved in the film as an actor . for other actors , it partly worked . the screenplay of the film is very convenient . for example , when the director want to break the pair off he made hero talk about heroine’s character ( bad influence of delhi culture and warring parents ) . there are a few flaws in the story which should have been ironed before going to the shoot . the hero of the film is made spineless in the second half as he blindly helps srini avasarala by sacrificing his own love .

other departments : songs composed by kalyann koduri are melodious . there are only four songs . background music is different . srinivas avasarala has excelled as a dialogue writer . cinematography by venkat c dilip is alright . art direction of ravinder deserves a mention . editing by kiran ganti should be more crisp . producer sai korrapati deserves a pat on his back for trusting the director who tried making a film that doesn’t follow the current ‘entertainment format’ . he has also promoted the film aggressively and brought a lot of visibility .

an impressive beginning while establishing the main characters is very important for any film . but the way characters are introduced in this film is lacklustre . however , the momentum picks up with a beautifully narrated flashback episode . second half should have been balanced among three characters with a nice play among them . the positive points of the film are tasteful dialogues and music . on the flipside , snail - paced narration and uninteresting screenplay hampers the movie . on a whole , it’s a good attempt to provide a clean and healthy film . we have to wait and see how crowds embrace the movie .

sai korrapati of ‘eega’ fame has produced the film and srinivasa avasarala , known for acting , has turned to direction with this film .

a simple and cute love story with loads of entertainment awaits the audience . venkateswara rao or venky ( naga shourya ) is a television anchor and his ambition is to become a good news reader . but his boss uday bhaskar ( avasarala srinivas ) does not give him the opportunity to do so . venky ends up anchoring tele - marketing ads . uday bhaskar sees a girl sridevi ( raashi khanna ) and wants to marry her . awkward in the presence of girls , uday seeks venky’s help to talk to sridevi . initially reluctant to help his boss , venky agrees when uday promises him a promotion as a newsreader . venky meets sridevi and realizes that she is none other than his ex - girlfriend prabhavathi . a flashback sequence shows how he fell in love with prabhavathi when in vizag for a vacation . a triangular story from here onwards , the film shows how venky sorts the tangled relationships .

avasarala srinivasa rao has to be appreciated for wearing many hatssuccessfully . apart from direction , he has also given a good performance as an actor . the scenes where avasarala impresses sridevi at the hotel and at the house are hilarious . avasarala has also written the screenplay and penned impressive and witty dialogues . the lead pair , naga shourya and raashi khanna , in their debut appearance , have done excellent work . naga shourya is perfect for the role of venky ; he looks fresh and has performed with ease . he has proved that there is bundle of local talent in addition to the star kids .

raashi khanna is definitely a good find for telugu cinema . she is very impressive with her performance and has done her homework well . she has a bright future ahead . rao ramesh puts in a brief appearance , but his present is felt in the film .

technically also the film is good with some beautiful locales captured by the cinematographer venkat . the songs are lovely with music by kalyani koduri and excellent picturisation . theclimax scene and the comedy routines fall a bit flat , still this breezy romantic entertainer is breath of fresh air . after watching all the regular masala action films , you can watch this film for its clean comedy sans double meaning dialogues .

directed by avasarla srinivas , this film had naga shourya in the lead roles . we caught with this talented actor for a brief chit chat . let’s see what he has to say .

a ) i was sick and tired or being a struggler , and when i almost decided to give up , i saw the casting call and applied for this role . after a huge round of auditions , i was finally selected for this role . though i signed this film first , chandamama kathalu released first .

a ) as i have already told you , i have been auditioning from the past five years . i have lost the camera fear , and found it very easy when we went on sets . i also did a 20 day work shop with the other star which helped me do my role .

fangoria is reporting that , on march 8 , synapse films will release the 1982 slasher movie the dorm that dripped blood , on a blu - ray / dvd combo , featuring the uncut director ' s cut . synapse ' s don may , jr . explained that this version will include " footage that no one . . .

jeffrey obrow and stephen carpenter’s slasher outing , the dorm that dripped blood , is a standard low - budget run - of - the - mill slasher movie , but surprisingly it holds an effectively cold and chilling atmosphere that few of its contemporary low - budget productions can match .

after studying at the american conservatory theater in her youth , she made her film debut in 1982 in the slasher film the dorm that dripped blood at the age of 19 , followed by a lead role in the horror film the initiation ( 1984 ) two years later .

i ' ve always referred to the dorm that dripped blood as pranks , and the blu - ray i watched last night had the title card of death dorm , and while i like all three titles , i ' m going to continue to refer to this as pranks ( old habits . . . ) .

final thoughts filled with blunt violence and a serious attitude , the dorm that dripped blood is an excellent , prime - time - era slasher for all the right reasons . a most unanticipated ending seals the deal . christmas time is ( not really ) here !

synapse films have set a march 8th release date for their the dorm that dripped blood blu - ray / dvd combo . previously only available in a cut version under the title pranks , the 1982 slasher is currently being authored for its director ' s cut debut .

this is one of those classic cult horror films that is probably more famous for its title than the film itself . ironically , the dorm that dripped blood has had a couple of titles during its lifespan . it was apparently to be known as death dorm before its release and its original us release title was pranks . i also find the film culturally significant as the film debut of daphne zuniga .

firstly - we should note that synapse films describes this as the ' uncensored directors’ cut ' and sates this on their website here as ' basically , our release of the dorm that dripped blood is the very first version of the film . the version that was originally made , before it was submitted to the us distributor . this version is actually entitled death dorm and contains footage that no one has seen in thirty years ( including the two directors ) ! ' - and our own eric cotenas tells me in email : " . . . the prior dorm that dripped blood dvd under the title pranks from substance is wholly unauthorized ( and it is converted from the bbfc - cut uk release ) . synapse ' s dorm features the onscreen title death dorm and is from the answer print of the uncut pre - mpaa version so it has never been released in this form before " . also this is a 2 - disc release from synapse with a dvd of the film included as well as the

the dorm that dripped blood was released in 1982 though some listings have it as 1981 , but regardless this movie was released at a time when slasher flicks were dominating the market and it seemed every week there was a new one opening . the dorm that dripped blood , which also goes under the title death dorm and pranks is one of the semi - forgotten films of the era and seeing as so many of these films were made there are gonna be ones that fall through the cracks . i originally saw this movie under the title pranks , which is a heavily censored version of the movie and is missing about 8 - minutes , which at the time i didn’t know . i didn’t hate pranks , but i sure didn’t love it and i had no desire to see it again , but i gave in and decided to give it another try since the version i saw was so heavily edited and while dorm that dripped blood wouldn’t rate as my favorite 80s slasher i’m glad i gave it another shot ; i think the film itself is far better than its reputation and despite the cult following it has i think it deserves more of a following . i wouldn’t rate the dorm that dripped blood in my top 10 slasher films , but its one of those underdog films and it would have a place somewhere among my favorite slasher films .

if you think you’ve seen this film totally uncut… think again ! synapse films is proud to present the dorm that dripped blood in a never - before - seen alternate version containing additional scenes , extended gore sequences and a different sound mix . this transfer was created from the only existing 35mm answer print of the original “directors’ cut” entitled death dorm , a version of the film thought to have been lost for over thirty years .

overall the dorm that dripped blood in an entertaining slasher flick and while the reviews from people that have actually seen the movie are quite mixed , which i fully understand and while the movie may not reach the heights of some of the more popular slasher flicks of the 80s i quite enjoyed this despite some of the shortcomings . like i said this one has that 80s slasher low budget charm and even if this isn’t one of the elite slasher flicks of the 80s i still enjoyed it .

the story behind the dorm that dripped blood may be more interesting than the film itself . college students stephen carpenter and jeffrey obrow made it while still having classes at ucla , hoping to use the film to get their foot in the door at hollywood . they did what they admit was a shameless cash - in on what was popular at the time : slasher flicks .

era - - and that ' s elevated it into something that it ' s not .

according to jim harper’s legacy of blood , the dorm that dripped blood ( released in the uk as pranks and subsequently landing on the video nasties list ) was filmed by ucla film students stephen carpenter and jeffrey obrow for next to nothing . thanks to the distinctive atmomsphere of gritty , no budget film production and a candy cane nod towards all things downbeat , the film hits a memorable peak for thrifty american slashers . trust me , you won’t be laughing much .

the film resolves around joanne , a college student who , along with a couple friends , is staying to close a dorm that is due to be condemned . one by one they are stalked and killed in the aforementioned dorm that dripped blood . some of the acting is not great but the movie has some amazing kills and scares . this blu - ray release is a longer , restored , uncensored cut from a print that was previously thought lost . it looks amazing and really is a must have for any retro horror / slasher collector .

meanwhile . . . as dorm handyman bill ( jake jones ) is washing up , the skulking menace powers up a drill . the psycho slides the tool slowly into bill ' s head , blood splaying everywhere .

the film is notable for focusing on establishing its characters and solid pacing . upon its limited release , the film was panned by critics . despite this , the film has gained a small cult following and was released to dvd for the first time in 2008 . it is also referenced in scream 2 along with other college themed slasher films such as : the house on sorority row , graduation day , the dorm that dripped blood and splatter university .

long goodbyes between two fellow college classmates unfortunately leads to the vicious death and murder of one half of the pair—not to mention the brutal killings of the victim ' s parents . the dorm that dripped blood is immediately graphic and ruthless with its killer in the presentation of violence and point - of - view murder , just like any other slasher—but the one here is strangely sadistic , specifically because of the harsh attack on the girl ' s parents . however , not once again in the film do we see such a barbarous kill that can compare .

" pranks : aka ; the dorm that . . . " the youtube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third - party notifications of copyright infringement .

since the christmas setting is irrelevant , dorm moves beyond the holiday gimmicks and shoots straight for the quintessential , cheapo vein . bullseye .

i will say that it really captures that harsh and bleak vibe that i love about early 80s slashers . and it really picks up at about the hour mark with a solid ending .

the dorm that dripped blood , a joint effort from directors stephen carpenter and jeffrey obrow , was released at the height of the slasher craze . the cast included future melrose place resident daphne zuniga - and although the film is certainly no classic , there are enough ingredients to hook even the casual fan of the " college stalk n ' kill " subgenre . seventy - five year old morgan meadows hall will soon be one college dormitory that won ' t be housing any more wisecracking students . slated for renovation and future apartment living , morgan meadows is in the process of being completely inventoried , emptied and boarded up .

synapse will release alex pucci ' s 2008 slasher , frat house masacre , in 2011 as well . additional details on that release , along with the cover art for dorm , are expected soon .

houses a fighting spunkiness that keeps its head above water for the most part .

. it could very easily have been ' the apartment complex that dripped blood ' or something similar . the stars all appear to be old enough to have college age children , but we just swallow believability and accept that these are the students about to be terrorized by the aforementioned ' terrifyingly real psychopathic killer ' ! really , it’s just a maniac with a machete . or drill . or whatever else he can get his hands on . . . ( what , no javelins ? )

the dorm that dripped blood lies somewhere between friday the 13th part 3 and another son of sam . it follows a strict classic slasher template in both style and attitude , but morphs into a surreal , claustrophobic free - for - all by film’s end . the plentiful gore spices up the under - lit kill scenes , adding to the disorientating sensibility . once we move into the bowels of the co - op building , it’s impossible to tell which way is up , thanks to the amateurish edits and constant confusion of the characters . intentional or not , a dreamy ambience kicks in , quite similar to the enveloping forests of jeff leiberman’s just before dawn . although the consistency stumbles with the killer’s whiny reveal and the building exploration scenes could’ve used some trimming , dorm ’s intensity more than makes up for these slight missteps .

zuniga made her film debut in stephen carpenter ' s slasher film the dorm that dripped blood ( 1982 ) , playing a supporting role as a college coed . two years later , she made her lead debut in the initiation , another college - themed slasher co - starring vera miles and clu gulager . " it was a great part , " zuniga recalled . " i got to play twins : a good sister and an evil sister . i got shot in the back on - screen . it was pretty heavy for a first role . "

the memory filled halls of the dormitory now echo with the screams and death moans of the students and the corridors drip with the blood of the innocent victims . once the object of nostalgic affection , morgan meadows hall has been hideously transformed into the most suffocating nightmare imaginable . "

dayton hall is about to be torn down , and a handful of bored - looking college students are staying at the end of the semester to help prepare it for demolition . someone in the shadows is about to do a little demolishing of his or her own . as you may have suspected , a mysterious slasher is tenderizing , drilling , and boiling his or her way through the students ( and pretty much anyone else that gets in the way ) one by one . could this be the work of a random , deranged maniac ? or will the identity of the killer hit closer to home ? will anyone be alive to tell the tale of the dorm that dripped blood ? most importantly , will the audience members be awake by the end of the film ?

description : on the eve of christmas vacation , a college dormitory stands condemned . . . the dark halls now vacant and unsafe . student joanne murray and her close friends volunteer to help close down the building , unaware a psychopathic lunatic is hiding in the shadows . as the students disappear one by one , joanne discovers the horrifying reality that if she is to survive , she alone will have to find a way to slay the brutal murderer . if you think you ' ve seen this film totally uncut . . . think again ! synapse films is proud to present the dorm that dripped blood in a never - before - seen alternate version containing additional scenes , extended gore sequences , and a different sound mix . this transfer was created from the only existing 35mm answer print of the original directors ' cut entitled death dorm , a version of the film thought to have been lost for over thirty years .

the initiation is a 1984 american slasher film directed by larry stewart , and starring daphne zuniga , clu gulager , vera miles , and hunter tylo . the plot focuses on a sorority member who , after being plagued by a horrific recurring dream her whole life , is stalked along with a group of pledges during their initiation ritual in a department store after hours . [ 1 ] the film has been noted for being star zuniga ' s first leading role after her minor part in the dorm that dripped blood ( 1983 ) , [ 2 ] as well as establishing a contemporary cult following as a midnight movie .

during christmas vacation a few students stay behind to clean out the dorms that will be knocked down and a new dorm will be built . but unknown to the students staying behind is a killer has also stayed behind and has their sights set on them .

few published reviews of the film during the time of its release exist ; however , contemporary reception of the film has been mixed . film threat gave the film an unfavorable review , writing , " the initiation is the latest forgotten horror film to receive the anchor bay dvd treatment , and i ' d be at a loss to tell you why . " [ 7 ] film school rejects , however , said the film " has all the hallmarks of being an awful movie without being an awful movie . . . it’s fun , and that should count for something . " [ 8 ] urltoken gave the film a negative review , calling it " a bad movie with bad ideas that are badly executed , " [ 9 ] while tv guide summarized the film as " boring slasher stuff , " noting that " top - billed [ vera ] miles and [ clu ] gulager barely appear in the film , which would make a terrifically dreadful double bill with the similar the dorm that dripped blood ( 1983 ) , also featuring zuniga . " [ 10 ]

craig and joanne reunite and come up with a plan to escape from john hemmit and the dorm . but before they get far , they again encounter john and joanne successfully kills the marauder .

. sadly , the title is much better and more memorable than the movie itself . i never understood the alternate title , " pranks " . that i could tell , pranks had almost nothing to do with the plot . one of the characters puts a fake spider in someone ' s egg . that ' s all that i can recall , off - hand .

there’s no denying that the 1960s was a transformative , important and turbulent decade . one of the most recognizable pop culture el . . .

five college students volunteer to close the dorm during their christmas vacation . soon , however , out of the dark recesses of the quiet building emerges a haunting and lethal menace . mysteriously all phone lines are cut and the students are plunged into the darkness of a powerless and increasingly frenzied gloom . in a series of grisly and barbaric incidents , the students begin to disappear . as the terror mounts and the high - pitched staccato of slaying continues , the remaining students realize that they are up against a terrifyingly real psychopathic killer .

this did mark the start of daphne zuniga & # 39 ; s acting career , however . zuniga later went on to star in the mel brooks classic spaceballs , and the hit tv series melrose place . death dorm was her first film , and though she plays a smaller role ,

' but that isn’t the case with this chaste ( and impressively dark ) film . if you want gratuitous nudity and sex , you’d have more luck clicking frame - by - frame through a disney film . . . you’re not going to find it here . everyone keeps their clothes on and sleeps in separate rooms . . . with a madman running around and no parental supervision . and we’re supposed to believe this is college ?

oh come on . . . is that your best shot ! ? i ' ve seen way a worser flick than this .

an average 80s slasher with a couple of good kills and the usual creepy atmosphere . i found that it was a little dry overall and none of the characters were super likeable .

this movie also marked the acting debut for daphne zungia ; for some reason her 1984 slasher flick the initiation in the credits has it as introducing , but that’s a mistake as she did this movie first .

audio commentary : directors stephen carpenter and jeffrey obrow deliver an interesting and oftentimes engaging commentary that covers the film ' s many titles , the story behind the picture ' s origins , inspirations that influenced the movie , the work of the cast , filming equipment and techniques , on - set recreation , the process of writing the script , and even critiquing what works and what doesn ' t in their own picture . fans of the film or those interested in low - budget slashers from the early 1980s will love this track .

certainly . first is the film ' s fantastic ending that ' s maybe the one thing in the entire picture that dares convention and makes the film all the better for it . the juxtaposition between 80 - some minutes of standard - fare genre hacking and slashing versus its low key but certainly unique conclusion make the picture well worth the effort , no matter the positives or negatives of any of the surrounding qualities and intangibles . in a more general examination , stephen carpenter and jeffrey obrow handle the film with neither great style nor such a heavy hand so as to ruin the movie .

, they were by and large quaint , safe films which reassured audiences that love would conquer all and that the monsters would be vanquished . even though the italian gothic horror film started taking shape only a year or two before hammer entered the fray with their re - imagining of the dracula and frankenstein characters , the early works feel like they came from the 1940s . if the early hammer films felt quaint , the early italian gothic felt positively ancient . while visually striking , they seem to exaggerate all the wrong elements of the gothic . the riccardo freda / mario bava directed

the film scrooges of the world , unite ! there’s finally a film that caters to your very sense of holiday negativity . only this time , people don’t just miss out on extravagant gifts . it’s nothing so pithy . nope , in this part of town , they all die . all of ‘em . even that little transistor radio . even the snow .

that evening , as joanne finishes up a phone call with her parents . . . she hears someone on the roof . consulting with patty , the two decide to call the cops once again . but now , the phone lines are dead . and the electricity too goes out .

the acting in the movie is quite abysmal . with the exception of daphne zuniga (

superman learns that there is a new superhero team around , the elite . they quickly prove themselves a team of extraordinary power guided by a confident sense of direct practicality . as their popularity grows , superman finds that they are outshining him with disquieting methods that grow more ruthless by the day even as the public appears to approve of their sneering dismissal of the man of steel ' s sense of moral restraint . however , as lois lane digs into the truth of the elite , the secrets discovered combine with the team ' s escalating arrogance to create a menace determined to destroy superman for their own power . against that , superman will have to resort to a disturbingly unorthodox solution to defeat them with a new perspective they cannot ignore . written by kenneth chisholm ( kchishol @ rogers . com )

treatment may seem inappropriate for this film but i love to see lesser - caliber work done to the ' nines ' as it makes the visuals experience a more adventurous one . if you are going to see death dorm at home - with friends on a late friday night with bushel baskets of popcorn - this is the way to see it .

tom wolfe ' s book on the history of the u . s . space program reads like a novel , and the film has that same fictional quality . it covers the breaking of the sound barrier by chuck yeager to the mercury 7 astronauts , showing that no one had a clue how to run a space program or how to select people to be in it . thrilling , funny , charming and electrifying all at once . written by john vogel jlvogel @ urltoken

in legacy of blood : a comprehensive guide to slasher movies , film scholar jim harper notes that the film takes " the autonomous face of the slasher movie killer to the extreme : the man terrorizing the teenagers is shown on screen , but he has no name , no connection to his victims , no history is ever given , nor any motive . he simply appears , begins killing , and is defeated . " he also notes the film ' s shortcomings in character development , writing : " if the rest of the characters had been as well drawn as radish , then final exam might well have been a minor classic . as it is , they ' re all stereotypical jocks and cheerleaders , and ultimately forgettable . "

will never be mistaken for some of the better slasher movies of the time period , but it has enough going for a single watch . i make no promises that you won ' t be bored occasionally , but with the right group of friends , i can see this one being fun . in a dry period for rare horror films coming to the digital format , this release is a reminder that quality releases can still see the light of day .

incidentally , one of the causes of the domination of the early home video market by exploitation films was that the major hollywood studios took quite a while to begin releasing any of their films for home rental , due to fears about damage to the cinema market . parallels to later media developments can be drawn by the reader . . .

so in 1984 , the video recordings act was passed , which made it illegal to distribute any film that had not been classified . the british board of film classification liased with the department of public prosecutions to build a list of videos that had already led to shopkeepers being convicted for criminal obscenity and hence could not be legally distributed in britain , to which were added a number of videos that were submitted to the bbfc for classification and rejected . hence was formed the infamous list of the " video nasties " . this ultimately comprised 74 films , of which 39 had been successfully prosecuted . video stores renting them were subject to police raids .

this is the start of my christmas marathon . i dig this golden age slasher . it ' s about some college bros and girls cleaning up a dorm , during christmas break , for demolition . unfortunately , there ' s also a deranged killer offing people left and right . the body count was surprisingly high for such a low budget picture . it wasn ' t overly gory but definitely sadistic . it was overflowing with cheese . the killer ' s reveal was especially gooey ! the ending is fantastic ! that ' s all i got . good night !

it ' s photographed in the same way as silent night , bloody night , black christmas , and friday the 13th . there ' s a coziness to the interior scenes that for me make for some of the best films of this type - a scene where the characters arrange an impromptu candlelit dinner , …

the dorm . the building has been condemned and everything must be removed in two weeks . . . the perfect plot device to get our victims as far away from civilization as possible ! to make things even worse , they’re shut in with a cranky old handyman and a weird fuzzy - haired guy who may or may not want them all dead . that’s the premise , and for a while it seems like pretty standard stuff . the actors say their lines as if expressing emotion would somehow cause the building to collapse on its own , and everyone watching can spend their time trying to pick out who’s the murderer , who’s going to die , etc .

that ' s often lacking in other films of its kind . while it may seem to be just another one of the almost innumerable low - level , barely - seen , cult - favorite slashers from the 1980s - - a decade , one could argue , that has come to be cinematically defined by its horror pictures both large and small and the culture surrounding them - - it ' s incredibly unpretentious , serious but not at the expense of fun , and assembled with just the right amount of balance to give it something of a complete and satisfying feel , even if there ' s really nothing new and the picture lacks the polished fašade and kinetic energy of bigger , but not necessarily better , genre films . maybe better said , it epitomizes everything that ' s so good about the low - budget micro - slasher . questionable acting , not much of a plot , long and dull stretches , and only semi - creative kill scenes might leave most wondering what the fuss is all about , but it ' s the way the film so effortlessly goes with the flow and so easily pieces together every single stock part - - despite its flaws that are not exclusive but rather problems inherent to the genre at large - - that it ' s something of a standard - bearer of these sort of pictures , and that it ' s been practically invisible since its release only adds to the legend and the picture ' s claim as perhaps the perfect example of the invisible slasher .

watched for a second time on a blu - ray rip , and , knowing everything that would happen and all the surprises , i liked it even more . while i’m not someone who cares about whether or not characters are ' likable ' or ' relatable , ' i think my favorite slasher films ( and this is now one of them ) are the ones that many people refer to as ' cruel ' - that is , the characters are not despicable shitheads who the audience is implicitly led to believe ‘deserve to die . ’ like the proto films from the 1970s or the first two friday the 13th films , all of the characters in this movie are nice , which makes the killings particularly ' cruel ' relative to most slashers . they ' re also not ' movie star ' …

is composed of the sort of shadowy atmosphere that makes movies like this so effective yet so repetitive and even redundant , but the directors balance the film so as not to allow it to become too generically atmospheric for its own good . the characters are relatively flat , the identity of the killer doesn ' t come as much of a surprise once the ball gets rolling , and the dialogue through most of the picture is clumsy at best , but

as much as i enjoyed the film , which was mainly due to the music , animation and the performance by bob geldof , but i also think the wall was also a missed opportunity as well . like i said i enjoy the film , but its never as deep and powerful as the album . roger waters wrote most of the tracks on the wall , but credit must still be given to the whole band . but at the end of the day the wall is pretty much the brain child of roger waters who in my opinion is one of the greatest musician’s of all time . but while he may be a great musician as a screenwriter he doesn’t reach that epic level . with that said i’m not knocking the script by roger waters , but film and music are two totally different things . waters has a lot of great ideas and a lot of what he does works , but i still feel the film could have been a lot more , but with that said i again enjoyed the film a lot .

officer lewis ( jimmy betz ) informs joanne and co . that a person matching john ' s description was just picked up . a sigh of hopeful relief .

director alan parker delivers a very odd and offbeat film and it is a little difficult to rate the direction since the film is built around the soundtrack . i’m not sure if parker was the right guy for the job and while the film does make sense if you pay close attention to the images and music , but some scenes aren’t exactly clear , which could be the writing perhaps . the wall isn’t an overly long music video like some have stated , but the film is quite deep and powerful , but i’d give more of the credit to pink floyd’s music for that . overall alan parker crafts a strange , but compelling film that’s hard to take your eyes off .

pranks came out in 1982 and this means that it was released when the slasher film was in its prime ; before the tropes have become cliche , the story is memorable and fresh ( even if a little inspired ) and if you were to ask me , the early 1980s was when slasher films were best . we ' re not expected to sit through a wynorskish montage of soaped up tits , goofy subplots and comedic undertones . not that i ' m opposed to…

bob geldof as pink is excellent and you have to rate his performance like how you would an actor in a silent film , but geldof is excellent and despite what some people have said geldof doesn’t perform the songs in the film . not sure where people got that from . all songs are performed by pink floyd . geldof however does perform vocals on in the flesh ( both parts ) . but outside of those two tracks that’s it .

back in the 80s no holiday or event was safe ; new years , valentine’s day , april fools day , halloween , christmas , graduation and prom were all covered . thanksgiving however was the one holiday that never really didn’t get represented . outside of home sweet home the only other film with a thanksgiving setting i can think of was blood rage and i guess madman as well . madman was set the weekend before thanksgiving so i guess it’s close enough . in home sweet home i don’t think it’s ever stated its thanksgiving . if not for the turkey and a bunch of people coming together ( their relation for the most part is never made clear ) home sweet home can be any day i suppose . but home sweet home would be the first thanksgiving themed slasher film .
