After watching El Rey's "Rebel Without a Crew", I decided to watch all 5 movies, produced by Robert Rodriguez, on a tiny $7,000 budget (similar to how he made his 1st feature, El Mariachi) and write reviews as I watch each one.
Now this one impressed me a little more then the others, just because on the show, director "Bk" Ryan looked like she was losing control of her production. First, to her Assistant Director (who seemed like a know-it-all jerk) & then the deadlines..issues with editing being behind and sound (although the sound is still a little off in some parts). As it turns out, this turned out better then most of the other "Rebel" films. A genuine build up, great character development, good acting! A beautiful female lead that I end up rooting for, the actress playing Grandma also did great! I began legit HATING her. And even a cameo by the director at the end. Great little film that runs a short 70 minutes & ramps up the intensity without ever feeling draggy or boring.
