Hunters (2021)
Snooze fest
Very choppy script. I understand the dynamics of low budget indy films and what it takes to do them. I wonder if most of the budget(whatever that was) went to the RED camera they used to film it. The main character is the best actor in this flick. I really wanted to like this movie, but it really drops the ball.
Brokedown (2018)
Great indy film!!
This is a great independent movie, shot in Western PA. It has a story that moves that takes you to a thrilling climax. The acting in this production is top notch. I highly recommend people to watch this film.
The Girl (2011)
Was hoping for much better. Really I was. Seriously. No Joke.
I watched The Girl on DVD and found it to be one of the two or three worst films ever made. Consequently, I was shocked when, after rushing to IMDb to give it the lowest possible rating, I discovered that one IMDb user had given it the *highest* rating of ten.
Ten!! For this!!!! Unsurprisingly, I jumped to the conclusion that this user had to be either (a) insane or (b) people who had worked on the movie. After all, this movie is *so* bad, no sane or unbiased person could think otherwise. It's a matter of fact -- not of opinion -- that this movie should have been better. Right? Well, wait a minute. I don't want to be *that* kind of person, do I? No, I want to be open-minded and respectful of the opinions of others.
So if you're an IMDb user who believes that The Girl is a flawless "ten", then please, enlighten me.
Thank you in advance for setting me straight. Oh and I'm just waiting to see how long this review lasts. As it seems my other one vanished. HHHMMM imagine that. 2nd time I posted this!!
Altitude (2010)
Should have been a Twlight Zone episode....
This at the very least should have been a Twlight Zone or even a Masters of Horror episode. The length of this movie was the biggest problem I had with it. The whole story could have been done in an hour episode and (in my opinion)been a whole lot better. Take two of the characters out (jock boyfriend and pretty blonde girlfriend)and you could have a tighter story that got into the action a whole lot sooner. I don't know, maybe its just me but I could have done with out the characters as they were written. Not so annoying. I wanted them all to be eaten with in the 1st 20 minutes. I got this at Walmart for 10 bucks. RedBox rental for a dollar would have been better.
Sand Serpents (2009)
Another SYFY/SCI-FI movie made overseas....
I saw the adds for this film and at first thought it might be cool. Well i was wrong. As usual they again can't get the little things right. Like rank on the helmets that are upside down. Name tapes that go on Gor-Tex rain gear. Tabs and badges that NO private should be waring. A Capt. that says "SIR" to a LT. A military man with a goatee...come on. Who was the military adviser on this flick. At least they showed real M-4s and not some AK-47 dressed up like an M-16. Its little things like that, that drive me nuts on these made for TV flicks.Also someone please tell me why it always seems fitting for someone to sacrifice themselves when its not really necessary. I hope that someday that the SYFY channel gets it right.
Shadows in the Woods (2006)
Oh My God...!!!
Were do I begin? My god this is just BAD. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all about independent, low budget films...but WOW. The camera work, sound, editing is just plain bad. There are some very talented folks who worked on this film, so why weren't there talents used? Poor Micheal Sheard, to have this billed as his last film, a shame just a plain shame. EFE when you start production on "The Girl" I just hope you use the talent that you have coming on board for that. I was hoping that this movie would be at least better than 2020 an American Nightmare but alas, I was wrong. so if you get a chance to see this film, just beware that its so bad its not even funny bad. I don't think MSTK3 (if they were still around) could or would show this. EFE you have talented people, use them better please?
