I Just Saw This...

First of all, if you look at my posting history, you'll see that I am a fan of indie films, and I've been very kind - perhaps too much so in some cases - in my posts. Indies tend to have original ideas, much more so than Hollywood studios. However, this film was...a mess. How it got 7.2 rating is beyond me. I think the film makers must've gotten on here and made a lot of reviews for it, that's the only explanation. I hated all the characters from the beginning to the end. I was hoping they would improve, but death is the only thing that could do that. They were really crass, especially the guys, and in a film that has no stars, the viewers try to connect with at least one character. Not in this film. Low budget is no excuse for poorly and crassly written characters. As for the acting...well, it's as if a group of 30-something year olds - who can't act - got together and decided to spend a weekend making a home movie that they could sell off as a horror story, and not a good one at that. Never have I rooted so hard for characters to be killed off. I didn't care how it happened. If insane squirrels attacked and killed them, I wouldn't have complained about how stupid that was because at least those characters would be dead. Seriously, a mess. I do not recommend to ANYONE under ANY conditions. This movie should've been called Hazardous Waste, because that's what it is. :(

To the film makers, I truly hated writing such an awful review. As an indie wannabe film maker, I have written my own script, and I know what's involved and the time it takes. Even though your premise wasn't original, it wasn't bad, but the execution was awful. If you don't have the special effects and/or actors required, wait until you have the finances to provide the project with them. And really, the characters were just...subpar. Not only were they not likeable, it was as if teenagers who had just discovered sex had switched bodies with adults. Ugh! Not a likeable one among the bunch.
