Nasty, and not in a good way


Here’s a nasty piece of work: Trash Fire follows a gaggle of thoroughly unpleasant people as they collide for an unpleasant weekend of unpleasantness. Writer-director Richard Bates Jr. seems to be daring the audience to see how long they can stick it out and put up with all of this. You have to respect a film that’s so completely committed to turning its audience off. But you don’t have to admire it. http://www.cutprintfilm.com/reviews/trash-fire/

It was NOT well made, well acted OR well directed. If it was any of those things is wouldnt be a straight to DVD piece of crap.

You lost all credibility when you tried to drop the F bomb as an insult, you also sound like a Drump supporter.

Or maybe I am not even American? lol Did that thought even cross your mind?
I doubt it....

And yes it was well made and well acted, you are an idiot.
What so there aren't any well made straight to DVD movies?
Again, you're an idiot lol.

Remember not to breed.

You can't argue with the childlike insult slinging mentality of that dude, just check his any of his profile responses out and it's all non stop insult, name calling, insult ect. ect. to all who don't share his exact opinion on things. He's a toxic pos that should have burned in a Trash Fire long ago along with his entire bloodline as a form of eugenics.

Personally I found this film mostly forgettable, overall rather average and at the end disappointing. It had it's moments and some decent black humor, but ultimately it spent most of it's time showcasing unpleasant people and when it was time for the payoff from the wind-up it just ended with an anticlimactic bang. I would have preferred a scene with the priest at the house telling Owen, as he lay dying, the story of how he was framed for the fire. Followed by the sister capping Granny with the shotgun, Owen passing away and the Isabelle left stunned. I also found Adrien Grenier's acting choppy, he seemed to be the same character he played on Entourage. I agree that the direction wasn't particularly impressive nor was the editing or the soundtrack. The writer/director continues to be, for the most part unimpressive to me, Excision was a good film I gave a solid 6 to, but this I'm struggling for a 5 which is, most the most part, the same as my opinion of Suburban Gothic.

Why are you following my posts, kid?
Is your life really that empty?

I only insult people when it's called for.
It's not my fault that most people are idiots.

Only someone with a very small mind would say something like that

I agree, just awful.

reply

What because it bored you?
What makes it "awful"? Explain.

Other than the fact that you didn't personally enjoy the film, what makes it "awful"?

reply

Yes, it's a nasty, mean-spirited film. That's the point. It's *beep* excellent as a result.

reply

I quite enjoyed it and I feel it did exactly what it was intended to do.
