The only thing worse than the movie is the director.


"Justin French is a critically-acclaime d director, writer, composer, editor, and producer from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. His 2008 feature film debut - the controversial, shocking, and horrifyingly suspenseful 'Frozen Flesh' - has been recognized by critics and audiences alike as the greatest horror film ever made. Justin's second feature film, called 'Evil Spirits,' received a standing ovation at all test screenings and will be available for release later this month."

It's one thing to make a movie because you love to do it. If you made a movie like "Frozen Flesh” out of love for the genre and skill itself, I, and many, many others would probably not be so harsh. But the way you are coming across can be described in many ways: Thoughtless, stupid, liar, faker, misdirection, unethical, rude, demeaning and straight up retarded. Maybe if you saw what you've been writing, you would "get it", as you like to say:

"...if you don't love and appreciate my movie, then something must be wrong with you."

"People who don't like Frozen Flesh just aren't educated cinematically. It's as simple as that."

"I am really talented, I know this - and pretty soon, producers will be lining up to sign me to direct their movies"

"It may be too soon to declare me the greatest living filmmaker of our time (or any time) but I think I am pretty close.”

I don't care if you think people are taking this too seriously, or that you are trying to get a rise out of people by deliberately acting like a douche. Either way, that’s right, EITHER WAY you are a loser. For posting FAKE critical reviews. YES FAKE. You cannot site website that DO NOT EXIST and HAVE NOT EXISTED in the past THREE or FOUR MONTHS AT LEAST! More than likely they have NEVER EXISTED! You are a disgrace, and on that alone, regardless of what talent you THINK you have, no producers will be lining up for you. They do not like liars and fakers. PERIOD!

It's a shame that people aren't allowed to have creativity and vision anymore.

Now I know how Martin Scorecese feels.

Like I said, it's ok to have creativity and visions and act on them. But its not ok to lie about it, and deceive people. The way you act and the movies you make, you'll NEVER know what it feels to be "Martin Scorsese". Not Scorecese. Maybe learn from directors like him and watch some classic movies before claiming others lack film knowledge. Seeming how you can't even spell a great directors name.

My spellcheck wasn't working right...

You can't Spell Check personality. Hopefully you change, and in turn, your film making will, It can only get better. The only way you'll make a more horrible film is if you lie about it as much as you did about this one. Just be truthful and sincere.

If my film sucks so bad, why does it bother you so much and why are you on these boards as much as you are?

Like I said, pay attention. It is not the film itself, it's you. The way you have been portraying yourself and how you treated others. The lies you have been spreading and the deceiving. Every one of my posts says this.

You're entitled to your opinion, no matter how wrong and uneducated it may be...

However, I looked up the word movie in Webster's and I don't think it belongs in quotations...just trying to help you out for future reference :-)

I am definitely serious. Why would I be sarcastic about this? I believe in my work and there's nothing wrong with that.

He wasn't stabbing air. The victim is off-screen, but it's what you don't see that scares you, not what you see.

So I have a question: how do you thinK I should improve for my next movie?

BTW - at least I made a movie. I set out and made a movie. Even tho you think it sucks. I still did it.

I think youre mistaken,
That only works if theres some kind of tention
Here,there is not.

What would you classify as "tension"?

A build up..having no idea whats going to happen,a wel flowing story which enalbes you to wory about whats going to happen next.Personally,I didnt find your film remotely scary OR gory. The AU films were done on an incredibly low budget,and still managed to shock and horrify.I know thats probabaly not the kind of film your trying to make,but it shows what can be done on a small budget.
Seriously though,If you hadnt been so egotistical about your film,you might have gotten nicer feedback.Most boarders just hate the shilling of films by directors convinced that they are amazing.Really,even Nick Palumbo cant pull that crap off around here.

some people told me the way to go was to make it seem like ur movie is so much bigger than it actually is. they said go all out and make your movie seem like its the best thing ever and people are stupid if they dont like it.

Well,my advice would be to never listen to them ever again. It got it watched,but also got you slated.

Be humble,be nice,and ask for constructive criticism,itll make you likeable,and people will take you more seriously.Take a leaf out of Ryan Nicholosons book,or hell,get yourself over to the horror board,apologise for coming across like a dick,and ask people for honest,and constructive likes and dislikes.
People will be much kinder when you dont say anyone who dislikes your film is an idiot

reply

i actually didnt go over to the horror boards. but thanks for the advice

If people had have heard about your film in a humble and honest way,they probably would have congratulated you on the effort,said well done,and keep up the good work.
Its just a bit hard to do when something is peddled as the greatest thing of all time.

reply

And yet again:

Perhaps you should take the time to read my other recent posts.

"Frozen Flesh" was a prank. It was not made with serious intentions.
