Review of Autumn

Autumn (I) (2009)
1/10
This is an awful awful movie

Autumn is an awful, pointless, complete and utter disaster of a movie. The pacing is slow, the plot virtually non-existent, the editing is atrocious, the acting is mediocre at best (I think the 'zombies' stole the show, and they were terrible), the 'special effects' are laughable, and the ending is sudden and completely unrewarding.

I decided to give this movie 2/10, because I believe that even though it deserves less, a 1/10 should perhaps be saved for movies so bad that they are actually funny. But not this one. This was just painful to watch. I think I've summed up my feelings about this movie, but just to elaborate why I think it was so bad - it was adapted from a book (which I've not read), so it's gone through 2 entirely separate stages where someone with an ounce of common sense and judgement should have said "No, this is awful. You aren't getting this published/filmed." And yet somehow it made it through both.

And finally..David Carradine. His inclusion in the movie was brief and extremely pointless as well. His scenes should have been edited out so as to not (further) tarnish his career posthumously.

As a 'zombie' film, a thriller and a horror movie this fails on every level. It truly looks like a half-baked student film, and not the work of a supposed seasoned professional (take a look at Mr Rumbelow's biography to see what I mean.) Avoid this at all costs, unless you feel like wasting an hour or 2 of your life.
