Sew what...

It's easy to criticize as a casual viewer a project which to the participants was very important. There were flaws too numerous to mention, acting as wooden as an oak dinette set and effects worse than those found in the Turkish version of Star Wars.

That being said, it isn't as horrible as some movies I've seen when taken into perspective, nor was it 'above the fray' either. Ironically some given a huge budget and A-list stars spew out puerile, lackluster donkey droppings and try to coat it with a golden sheen (or Charlie Sheen, which is worse) for mass consumption.

I was vastly disappointed after watching it, but who knows what I was expecting. It seems every movie I watch that you can tell was shot on video has sucked worse than a Hoover with a V-8.

What pushed it up (1) star was the bloopers. Why? I could tell they had fun doing it and that's what matters most to me anyway. I don't think they were out to make a billion dollar epic. I've always had a dream to make a low budget horror film and like it or not, The Stitcher is probably better than anything I could do.

I would like to point out that most of the acting was sub par, the lead male did pretty well all things considered. There were even moments when I was startled, but then realized I'd fallen asleep but woke up and 'The Stitcher' was still on.

I won't waste time on the sordid details, lets just leave that to the DVD box art.
