Dead and Gone (2008)
A nice little film!
I watch a lot of Indie films and am a horror fan to boot. I'll have a viewing without any regards to the subjective bantering from critics and commentators alike. I ended up watching Dead and Gone twice before sending it back to good ole Netflix. Knowing this had to be low budget, I have to say, I liked this movie! It has a lot of light leaks and is not exactly waterproof, but It is not what I expected to see at all. I was quite entertained with the story and quality of acting. The cameos where great! Ben Moody plays a hilarious mountain redneck hick! I laughed at that one! The box lists the names of all the appearances, so I won't say anymore. Moving through the first half, I thought the film took itself a little too serious and then it came into its own for the rest of the film. I realized then where the Director was going. There was definitely some thought that went into this flic.
Rent it! If you like B horror flics with some intelligence.
Here are my marks from 1 - 10. 10 being the best. Remember (LOW BUDGET) Music Score: 9 Harry Manfredini Folks! (Howed they get him?) Sound: 9 5.1 Dolby. If you have a good audio setup, I was impressed! Acting: 7 Its low budget, how many takes can you get? Special fx: 8 Good job in this department! Makeup and FX. Story: 8 Slow start at first, but then picks up. Originality: 8 I'll just say, it wasn't about torture.
