Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

suruata It's not often that there are these combinations of crime heavily supported with subtleties in comedy and an ancillary horror plot. Was a bit skeptical at first wondering how well distinguished the pillars of horror could be maintained as subverted and yet with appraised use of ridiculously familiar dysfunctional humor blending irony behind the life of professional theft that usually entails competence and sophistication. And of course, having a plan after initial plans. In a relevant way, this echos back into actual living by alluding the rapacious and eagerness we stir in ourselves for a close bargain only to risk biting on our conscience when we know we have so many "strikes".As of now, I think this is the first film (I personally can recall) to a nail a solid use of this mixture, however it is not free from plot and character discrepancies. The comedic aspect was solid although out, but the horror element unfortunately forced itself to drag along with a this occultation between heist, entrapment, and obvious impractical team work that evolved more into a nice little mini course of adventure. Which supposedly adds to the layer of humor already. What is it worth pointing out would be the backstory's lack of continuity (barely), the ambiguity of the event progressions (especially between scenes), and the quality of the antagonists characters. It was a bit difficult for me to take the killers seriously at all, or maybe that was part of the comedic aim. Camera techniques, lighting, sound and main "protagonists" acting performances were the strongest. Plot, editing, and attention in more distribution to characters could have used more work. But can absolutely give the acclaim for the film's comedic material and character interaction. Not so much in fulfilling horror and a strong story, but at least the character tropes and nuances gave way for something more than simple entertainment.

Leofwine_draca CRUSH THE SKULL feels like nothing more than an indie rip-off of THE COLLECTOR. It tells of a gang of thieves who decide to burgle a house they haven't encountered before, only to run afoul of the serial killer who just happens to live inside. While this is a well-shot movie for the genre, it also happens to have no menace and no sense of foreboding either. The antagonist isn't present so the viewer is just left with endless scenes of the main characters wandering around an empty home. If this is your idea of fun then so be it, but it certainly isn't mine.

CrunchyBug This was a fun one. The dialog and chemistry among the four main characters was what drew me in. Sure, not all the jokes were winners, but the banter was charming and felt natural for the most part. Plus, the choices made by the Good Guys were often smarter than what you find in the average horror movie (regardless of its budget). They seemed to learn from their mistakes and make reasonable leaps of deduction without my "help" (a.k.a. yelling at the screen, "Why?! Why would you DO that??"). I was disappointed with the antagonist side of the coin, though. I get that there was a psychopath vibe being aimed at, but psychopath doesn't mean zombie. Showing no emotion and practically shuffling through every scene seemed more Heavily Sedated than Crazy Person to me. What really surprised me were the production values. Even in the dark basement shots the lighting was well done and the audio was consistently good in both interior and exterior scenes. So often it seems like sound quality in particular gets thrown out the window when the budget is tiny. Kudos sound folks! Overall, I'd say it's a comedy/horror film rather than a horror/comedy, but I was entertained. And, most of the time, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

CorbanNoah I stumbled into this movie by accident; it was the one that I could see at that moment that seemed to have the most interesting title. I was very happy that I did.The basic premise is that a group of robbers--some competent, some not so much--try to pull off a heist at a house in the middle of nowhere. Unbeknownst to them, the house is actually a torture chamber for a serial killer. Criminal is pitted against criminal, and craziness ensues.Typically, horror/comedies end up being a bit scary with a few amusing moments, or mostly goofy with some cheesy horror-like moments. This movie jumps back and forth from having the audience laugh out loud to having legitimately tense parts. The ability to do both sides well made this movie very enjoyable for me. Granted, there were times where the jump between the two were almost too quick, making the emotional flow a little awkward. There were also a couple of forced jump-scares. But over all, a movie I would recommend seeing.
