From director Chris Stokes (You Got Served and House Party 4), Somebody Help Me is a suspenseful straight-to-DVD release replete with chills and laughs, depending on your sense of humor. Starring Marques Houston, Omari “Omarion” Grandberry, Alexis Fields, and Brooklyn Sudano, this urban “thriller” is more amusing than frightening. Ten young adults make a trip to the woods outside of Los Angeles for a weekend, only to run across some trouble along the way. What starts out as a birthday celebration takes a turn for the worst when a strange figure lurking in the woods begins taking out the unwelcome teen visitors, one by one. Though the film is entertaining and it provides a fun Halloween scare at anytime of the year, the plot does not thicken. The soundtrack for the movie is reminiscent of B2K’s first album, and the typical “horror film music” is a throwback to the classic Halloween films. Fans of both Marques Houston and Omarion may enjoy the movie—their acting is reminiscent of their roles in You Got Served.
