Dark Reel (2008)
I really enjoyed it.
If you are really looking for that classic horror slash comedy movie that you grew up watching with a group of friends in the theaters, this may be one of those movies. It's about time someone made a movie like this, it brought back some good memories. I was expecting cheesy acting, bad editing, and choppy sound but none of those things ever happened. I have to admit that originally I had no desire to watch "Dark Reel". The only reason that I even watched the movie was because my wife was pregnant and for some reason she had to watch it because of the title. To my surprise it was actually very good. No matter how hard I tried not to like it I still got sucked in. Now I'm looking for director Josh Eisenstadt's next movie.
Red Lightning (2005)
Mysterious murders are committed at a financial firm and a young stock broker suspects that he co-workers are plotting against him. Will he be next?
I was pleasantly surprised by this Red Lightning. It had me second guessing and suspecting everyone as the culprit and then, just when I thought that I had it all figured out, I found that I was dead wrong and the story took a turn that left me speechless. The film also contained a lot of dimensional characters which made things quite interesting as I tried to follow the story. One of the actors in particular (Jesse Pate) plays multiple characters in the film, which I found to be pretty impressive with such contrasting characters. This is the second film that I have seen that was directed by Josh Eisenstadt. I think that he has a very unique style and I am looking forward to seeing what he comes up with on his next film.
