Weird..... is this a indie thing?


Ok here's the deal, i didnt like the movie because i couldnt really get into it.
Why? maybe am spoiled... but its the image, the whole film has this weird image.. as if it was filmed with a handcam. and i know what some people are gonne say, my friends do all the time (but their retards) its because its a low budget bla bla bla... F that.. Evil Dead was a very low budget, they couldnt even keep their actors because they run outta money... but still.. the picture, the image quality seems more... appealing? more.. i dont know.. as if DeadMoon has a too sharp image or something? i feel like am watching a bad home movie my uncle shot and we have too watch it with the whole family. as if im missing some sort of image filter or something, i had the same thing with other movies like awaking the dead, tooth and nail, mullberry street... i think this is a indie low budget thing... shoot it in super8 i say!! at least make it look like a classic. zombie strippers was bad... and shot in the same kinda way? but i liked it... it had this classic no *beep* just fun old gore horror thing going.

So if you took the time to read this crap post, i thank you.. if you even have the time to waste posting a reply then thank you very much and let me ask you this.... am spoiled right? i cant enjoy a modern indie film....

Yeah, so this was about the gayest movie I've tried to watch in a while! Undaground's right. It was the worst filming I've ever seen, no matter how low budget. I got about fifteen minutes into it and had to turn it off so my head wouldn't explode. It was a waste of time and money to watch, and I usually love all zombie flicks, low budget or not.

Yeah, I'd say you're kinda spoiled.. It took me a little while to be able to ignore the look of a handcam, and even now it takes me a few minutes to adjust before I don't notice it. It's like with subtitles or black-and-white: just because they're a little harder to get used to doesn't mean they're not worth the time.
