Kick him on the shins when you see him next and tell him that he needs a different profession.

Congrats to your uncle. I thought it was a great movie.

It was the best movie of the Horrorfest.

Thank you. With all of the people bashing the movie, I was wondering if I was just going crazy for enjoying it so much.

Oh, you mean Borderland?

Not to be mean or anything, but then he needs to come onto this board and explain a couple of things in what he was trying to convey with this film.

This film had no plot and was worthless!

Better not... Save your time and money, it's not worth it. Unless you like completely random scenes without any plot, sense and meaning. Even the effects sucked... okay, there are worse movies than this, but it's still very bad!

I've seen some bad movies in my time but this has to be one of the worst. Whoever wrote this screenplay should be banned from hollywood. I am convinced that if you were to give me six months, a pen, and some paper, I could write a better script. This is one of those movies wher the idiot characters do not ask even the most obvious questions. For instance they all see their pictures on the wall when they were children and our wearing institutional garments, yet it's a another 30 minutes into the movie before they figure out that they must have all been there when they were children. People die one by one but noone seems to be asking why. One woman gets her eyes gouged out and in the next scene she is calmly talking to the other two characters, there is a cloth around her eyes yet she is displaying no signs of pain, is not screaming even though she is aware that she is now blind for life. Another character played by Frank Whaley goes into a room gets killed and his part in the movie is over but they only address it by showing a hand on the floor not one word is spoken about his disappearnce or death. The amount of dialogue in this script probably takes up about five sheets of paper.

Not only is the chick blind and in no pain, nor bleeding to death from having her EYES GOUGED OUT... She is given a spear to defend herself.

They give a blind chick. A pointed stick. To fight a ghost.

Let me repeat that.

They give a blind chick.
A pointed stick.
To fight a ghost.

Then to top it all off, the priest returns, knowing shes blind, seeing her with the freaking spear... and DOESNT ANSWER HER WHEN SHE ASKS WHO'S THERE. Now I don't care how injured you are. If you can make your way back and say a few dying words, YOU CAN NOT WALK INTO THE BIG POINTY STICK THE BLIND GIRL IS HOLDING.

It just was so frustrating to watch.

The basic premise and first half of the movie were sound. But holy crap. The second half of the movie is just the most non sensical crap I've ever seen. I am absolutely not one to trash horror movies, and if you look through my post history I defend many movies against people calling it "the worst ever" or such nonsense. But jesus christ holy crap mother of all that is good and holy and just plain not terrible. You'd think one of the cameramen or caterers or someone would have stopped and said "hey, you guys know this doesn't make a damn bit of sense right?".

Banned from Hollywood? Yo uthought this was made by a Hollywood studio?

Wait a minute. You are telling us on 27APR07 that your uncle "hes been working on it for about 2 years or something and is almost done"? This film, Crazy Eights, which was released in 2006. Are you in a time warp? This movie had great special effects and cinematography.

reply

LOL, this movie didn't have great anything. It didn't even approach mediocrity on any level.

This is what i would expect to see if you gave a 15 yr old overweight goth girl 750,000 dollars and told her to make a movie.

THIS MOVIE BLOWS

reply

Hey, your uncle dies a pretty cool death in the movie. Although I'm glad he was the first to go because it's a little cheezy for the director to be cast as one of the big faces in a movie.

All plot holes aside, the movie has great spooky-abandoned imagery. Was this a worked up set? Or did your uncle use real abandoned buildings?
