Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
joemamaohio Forty years after a man kills his wife, children, and himself, Jack Wade (Quentin Jones) brings his ailing wife to the secluded cabin to kill her, because she's a famous actress and he doesn't have any money. As he spends more time there alone, he starts slipping into insanity, and soon his well thought out plan becomes his living nightmare.Boring! Nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing original, nothing worth remembering. It's a movie you'll forget you saw 20 minutes after watching it. The only cool thing was the addition of Felissa Rose as Jack's attorney (and wannabe love interest), since she's a staple in horror movie history (see "Sleepaway Camp" and you'll know what I mean).
Colia_A I watch a lot of Indie films and am a horror fan to boot. I'll have a viewing without any regards to the subjective bantering from critics and commentators alike. I ended up watching Dead and Gone twice before sending it back to good ole Netflix. Knowing this had to be low budget, I have to say, I liked this movie! It has a lot of light leaks and is not exactly waterproof, but It is not what I expected to see at all. I was quite entertained with the story and quality of acting. The cameos where great! Ben Moody plays a hilarious mountain redneck hick! I laughed at that one! The box lists the names of all the appearances, so I won't say anymore. Moving through the first half, I thought the film took itself a little too serious and then it came into its own for the rest of the film. I realized then where the Director was going. There was definitely some thought that went into this flic.Rent it! If you like B horror flics with some intelligence.Here are my marks from 1 - 10. 10 being the best. Remember (LOW BUDGET) Music Score: 9 Harry Manfredini Folks! (Howed they get him?) Sound: 9 5.1 Dolby. If you have a good audio setup, I was impressed! Acting: 7 Its low budget, how many takes can you get? Special fx: 8 Good job in this department! Makeup and FX. Story: 8 Slow start at first, but then picks up. Originality: 8 I'll just say, it wasn't about torture.Colia
medusa-41 Watched it on DVD without knowing anything about it, there was no plot synopsis, no rating, nor any comments on IMDb as I inserted this disc on its release date.Early on it is clear that it is very low budget, I later learned that it was approx. $500,000. The video is of sharp quality but without Hollywoodesque professional lighting. That part might actually please some viewers.An interesting shamble of actors show up for this one, several B celebrities from various professions who may or may not be known to you. I particularly liked the female law enforcer, mainly because of her looks; but also because of something else in her character. The acting in this film, while unimpressive, is not the problem. The main story is thin and its background story alike, but this isn't the problem either. Many aspects of this movie are found lacking, such as the dialogue, but not lacking enough to make me dislike the film. No, the problems I perceived were about pacing, logic and the lack of ever coming close to being scary. Because that is how I like my horror movies - scary. This one isn't.I cannot recommend it to anyone in particular, but horror fans like myself will watch this regardless of warnings. So I wish you pleasant viewing. :)
66butch I just finished watching this and I must comment on how well this film worked. I walked into it with no expectations, and walked away feeling like, finally, there's some hope for the horror genre yet. Even with a relatively low budget, the movie had good story, decent acting, gore, and none of the generic cliché moments that plague today's teeny horror films. With a nod or two, some purists will see the links with films such as Amityville Horror, The Shining, Poltergeist, Evil Dead 2 & even the Troma classic Mother's Day. If you are a fan of the brilliant style of horror from the mid 80's, you will not be disappointed in the styling, story, and cinematography of this film.
