Uncut (2009)

Not too awful bad, but...

[7/10 · 19 April 2015]

The acting wasn't the best.

The film itself was interesting. A neat take on the old killer in a theater plot. Again, though the characters weren't very engaging because of the lackluster performances.

The camera work was a bit distracting at times and some of the characters pulled a Scooby Doo and kept entering out of different doors and popping up at random times. But the "one continuous take" format kind of calls for that.

It's worth a watch though.

Watch Birdman first, though.

Dead Souls (2012)

Meh

[2/10 · 1 July 2013]

Lame scares. Terrible dialog. Obviously a made for TV movie. It comes complete with an annoying teenage girl character. And, for some reason, the writer or the director hates dogs... two are savagely killed. I mean, kill as many people as you want, but leave the animals alone. The stepmother character was good and well thought out, however. And Bill Moseley never disappoints.

Maybe they decided to film a first draft... who knows.

You'd think that a Chiller original would be a little better.

I don't usually gripe about spending $10 on a DVD, but a fatty McDonalds meal would have been more worth it.

So, do yourself a favor and pass this one by.
