Finders Keepers: The Root of All Evil (2013)
Pretty Good Movie for an Indie
Rented Finders Keepers tonight on Amazon and I was pleasantly surprised! I've been hearing about this project for awhile from the people I know who are actually attached to the project. After hearing how this film was put together I'm incredibly impressed.
The film was shot for a nearly non-existent budget and a three man crew. A three man crew. Three people, the director, the DP and one other guy.
90% of the actors attached to this project had never acted before in their lives. Never acted before. This was their first time in front of a camera.
OK now into the movie:
We jump in to a poker game. During the game, a pair of criminals bust in and take the money. They then meet their boss in the woods to split up the spoils. Of course they have to double cross their "boss" and are subsequently caught by a park ranger. They have to ditch the loot and plan on coming back later to get it.
Cut to the protagonists, a bunch of young adults going camping in the woods.
While in the woods one of the girls finds the money and she hides it so she can return later to retrieve it.
The criminals return to pick up the cash, and find it's missing.
The res of the movie is a game of cat and mouse. The criminals decide that since the kids can't take them to the money, they might as well hunt them like animals for sport.
I love how once the chase begins it doesn't slow down again. The actors and the camera are always moving!
-----------------------------SPOILER ALERT--------------------------
I also love how EVERYONE DIES. It's unexpected and leaves you staring at the screen thinking: wait, what? hold on, the all die? Greed is deadly, great way to end it!
The only qualms I really have about the film are the blood splatters. They're a bit cheesy... But it's a B Horror movie, isn't it supposed to be cheesy?? All is forgiven.
I was thoroughly entertained throughout the entire movie (ok well maybe not when the kids and hanging by the campfire...) But the rest of the movie was fun, fast paced, and easy to follow.
While this is by no means my favorite horror film of all time, I have to give this movie a glowing recommendation. The cast and crew were able to produce and DISTRIBUTE a pretty decent product when they had almost NO resources. I applaud their hard work and determination and I can't wait to see what they come up with next!
