Two Days Back

The trailer doesn't look half bad, doesn't look any worse than any other low budget indie slasher. I have a feeling it's ok for those who don't mind low budget films...BUT, that's not the real point here is it.

NOW would be the time at which we see whether whomever was behind this film has more than 2 brain cells in their head. THAT would be the question at hand. With the events in Idaho, NATIONAL MENTION (free advertising) that this picture exists, on such shows as 48 Hours and a plethora of true crime channels. The association to this event by familial relation and ending with the "talking piece", and "collector's tingle" owning this film would be for those who collect films, Whomever owns or has rights to this film would be SO ditzy to not ALREADY by heading to a dvd or bluray manufacturer with a transfer to get some physical copies on sale at Ebay pretty much NOW.

For example, the first thing I did when learning of this film on 48 hours was go to ebay and search for it to see if I could be it. So to whomever is sitting on the master transfer, you would be very very silly not to get some physical copies made ASAP and throw them on ebay. These unknown actors would probably appreciate that fact as well. SO let's see how smart whomever owns this film is over the next few weeks. I know I'd have copies on sale at ebay in less than 2 weeks..lol JS.

Simple story made in a simple way, nothing outstanding here. Another student project that serves both to showcase the potential talent, which, in this case, was scarce, and to please the vanity. The greatest achievement of this movie was to credit all the extras, while the biggest shortcoming was inability to elicit drama to any meaningful degree. Best watched on a Sunday afternoon, during the time saved for a post-prandial nap.

Two Days Back isn't a great movie, but, to its credit, it does build a little tension and dread during the final third. The forest can be a spooky place, and Two Days Back makes good use of its setting. The acting, for the most part, holds up, the music has some odd, but interesting choices, and overall it looks decent. It may have been a forgotten movie if not for one of the actresses, Amanda Kohberger. If that last name rings as bell, it's because she is the sister of Bryan Kohberger, the alleged (at the time of this writing) quadruple murderer of the college kids in Moscow, Idaho. (Amanda, by the way, does a solid job in her role.)

This movie was low budget which doesn't faze me, but this was awful. The acting was bad, the story was bad and I only watched it to see what happened to little Emma. Don't bother
