Captivating.

Warning: Spoilers
I must admit it's just the second movie of Jeff Burr i've seen (the other was Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (i'm a big fan of the slashers i must tell).

I have one word for Jeff in S.I.D. "daring."

1.-The general Story I think the director cared more to tell us the story of this two deserters than placing the story in WWII, i think the time or the war was the less important here it could have been told in Kosovo, Acteal México or Afganistan, and he made it the best he could with the money they had. The Story is way different and i'm sure it has inspired some other.

2.- I've seen Losey Character b4, and in the same context. ¿Has any of you seen "saints and soldiers (2003)"? There's a Character who is hiding into the frozen woods, and has recurrent visions of little girls and dolls, eventually you find out that he accidentally killed Some little Girls into a church.. Sounds familiar?.. I'm not saying Jeff stole the story, i just say i saw that character b4... Coincidence maybe.

3.- I'm sure it's kind a tribute to b-movies. I know Jeff is very into B-Movies, and the inspiration in this film of them is "notirious", the band of "freak kids" (With all respect i just used the term 'cos of the movie "the freaks") is a clear tribute to b-Movies.

4.- The Low Budget issue. Even with that detail he could handle it, but sometimes this issue "killed my buzz"
