Ring of Darkness (2004)
Don't bother.
A good David Decoteau movie is one of two things. (1) a good-enough B-movie horror, with lots of blood, lots of cheezy acting, etc. (i.e. "Puppet Master 2") OR (2) Hot guys running around in their boxer briefs held together by some plot that could vaguely be described as a horror movie (i.e. "Voodoo Academy").
A great David Decoteau movie is both (i.e. "the Frightening", "the Brotherhood").
"Ring of Darkness" is neither. Not enough blood, not enough horror, way too much bad music (even by boy-band standards), and the guys BARELY take their shirts off. And I haven't even mentioned the STUPID ending, the awful foley mixing, the D-grade acting, etc etc etc.
I waited over a year for this?
Killer Bash (2005)
Not bad at all.
Totally worthy of a viewing. Especially if you're watching it just to avoid doing something else, or you're not really that into it to begin with. It was classic Decoteau. The plot, about a possessed girl who becomes popular (perhaps because of the possession, perhaps not... that's kinda debatable) at least gives Decoteau a good reason to let his camera oggle hot guys. The acting was definitely b-quality, which, really, is what one would expect in a b-movie. Decent plot, hot guys, plenty of scenes with the hot guys, requisite scene with boys rubbing each other down in their boxer briefs. The ending, which I won't mention, was bad. Not super-bad, but bad.
