Little Corey Gorey

This film was part of a 6 DVD set called Kiss of Death distributed by Brentwood Home Video. So I took a chance on the entire set for some $22 bucks and was really surprised how cool there all are.

Little Corey, Sabino,the DVD says Todd Fortune?) is totally harassed by his brother and step mom. Credits on IMDb are confusing. And there are few practicals, meaning production shots, head shots, bios, etc.

Corey finally extracts his revenge over a series of mishaps and happenstances.

I really enjoyed this film. Little Corey had echos of Kevin Bacon and I thought he was a younger brother. His acting was really good as the harassed brother who also had a super crush on the very hot brunette and was delightfully flummoxed by most events he encountered.

Bill Morroni, the director, is very adept at directing and setting up scenes. Nice lighting, composition, direction make this horror, thriller, light comedy romp enjoyable.

Corey is great as the frustrated teen trying to date the rockin' brunette. And the girls are all hot.

Morroni is really good at the sex scenes. The scene of the coke chick in the van is great! As is the "pretty woman" shots of the brunette being followed by Corey, What teen hasn't followed his dream chick. And the photography of her walking down the street is really sensual. First she is in a cute "cowboy" outfit, then a slinky black skirt and boots, the camera adores her and her "own the street" walk. Nice job. Better than most movies, actually. She sure could walk.

That this is shot in 16mm with the legendary Bolex (REX IV,V maybe) for only $15,000 is unbelievable. And Morrini had to add sound FX and dialogue dubbing. The effort was well worth it as this movie is better composed and directed than most shark/monster crap on the SyFy channel.

The mom (who was to be Divine, great choice)was played well by Edenia Scudder, as the horrible, obnoxious, step mom. Her best line, "I've been tied up for two days and I am hungry".

She is tied up on a couch and everyone steps around her included kids at a party. This was hilarious.

I haven't seen Morroni's last effort on video, but will look for it.

I wonder what happened to all his actors and actresses.

This has strong potential for a cult circuit, take the movie to college campus and create a following like The Room with Tommy Wiseau.

The shower scene was cut, I wondered how the Biff got all chopped up by a single glass strand. But Bill says it has been restored.

A little more blood/guts would appeal to the Horror Hound crowd, but this could be a precursor to he Scary Movie type horror/comedy.

I am glad that Morroni added his comment to this site for background information. He needs to promote it more, as few have heard of this movie. I have seen and reviewed lots of movies and this is a hidden gem. I am glad I own it.

I am surprised Morroni hasn't done more films after this. He says he got ripped off by he distributor, which happens to a lot of filmmakers, but now there is the advantage of independent distribution and the web.

We made this in the late 80's early 90's I think the date was the date it was made on DVD. We had a blast making this movie and watching it recently it really could be a cult classic.

This was my first movie as the main make-up artist, many of the F?X were done with trial and error and little/no budget!! LOL

We all worked for free but got points (part of any profit). I don't think there as ever been a profit but it was a great experience, I met wonderful people, and I would recommend working with any of the people involved in this movie.

I must comment about the shower scene. When I saw the DVD I was shocked at how much they cut of that scene. The shower slices Biff's arms off and he is laying there bleeding, Corey goes to help him and Biff starts going off on him about how Mom is going to kill him for letting that happen so Corey afraid of Mom lets him die.

I look forward to hearing from more people that have seen this DVD.

The date on IMDB says 2001, but this has got to be the late 80s or early 90s. And if this was created in 2001 than I give the filmaker props because they really did a great job making it look like the 80s. I bought a 10 movie horror movie set (10 movies on 5 discs distributed by Brentwood).

Main character Corey gets pushed around by big brother Biff and his stepmother. One thing leads to another and Corey has his stepmother tied up and held hostage on the couch. His brother is in the freezer (don't want to tell how), and he owes money to his brother's cocaine dealer.

This is ridiculous. I love really bad movies, so I can find some use for this in my collection. Lots of 80s hair and bad glam rock being played in the background.

This film is bad. I like bad films ("Blackenstein," I'm looking at you) but this film is even bad by MY standards. Most of the voices are inexplicably dubbed, the actual film goes bad about half-way through the movie (on DVD, no less), it looks as though it was filmed with a home video camera ... and it features "Creature," a band that looks like a hideous hybrid of Alice Cooper and KISS, sans talent. When watching, notice that the television is ALWAYS either playing Creature or a mug shot of a serial killer. It's horrid.

The story? In short, Corey Gorey's father has died which leaves him alone with his evil stepmother and stepbrother. They do ghoulish things to him like hang him from the curtain rod and throw beer cans at him. Corey goes to school where he falls in love with the first hussy he sees. She likes Ozzy Osbourne, so he buys her a ticket. The evil stepbrother (Biff) steals the ticket and goes to the concert with her, returning home with her panties. Corey and Biff fight, and Biff ends up pushed through the glass shower door. His arm gets cut off by the glass, so Corey decides to go ahead and chop him into pieces (!?!). What follows from there is a pitiful story, complete with worthless subplots that go ABSOLUTELY nowhere (serial killer, anyone?). Even for us Ed Wood fans, this is a BAD movie.

Bill, this movie is a reminder of a big part of my life, and my late sister Leah Feb 15, 1970- July 24, 2015. My sisters and I served as inspiration for a lot of content in the movie, like the Rockers, the girls and their friends, and naming one of them Leah. I do remember at one point, Leah was going to portray Jackie, but Life is funny, and so much changed. I remember many talks we all had about the script, the many laughs, and how my sister Cheryl was your assistant, and the period of time in Glendale. I remember being excited at seeing the sound stage... and was so happy when your hard work came into fruition, I just want to wish you all the best. And want to thank you for teaching me and my sisters one of the best license plate games, on the way down to sail out of Redondo. Hope you are well. Love, Marina
