Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
les-240 This movie was terrifying and suspenseful right from the beginning and didn't end until the shocking twist ending. I didn't talk my eyes off the screen until it was over. The characters were unbelievably authentic, from their first scene to the end. The bad guy was evil and twisted from the get go, as good a performance as Robert De Niro in Cape Fear. The girl was genuinely terrified right from her first inkling of her situation. She adeptly displayed a combination of loyalty to her friend, fear, heroism and strength. The ending was a spectacular and surprising twist. A thinking movie leaving you pondering what human values have become. A great movie, well worth watching. Hopefully more will come from this great new director, the screenplay writers and these actors.
benfagan Zach Gayne's "Free To Go" is the antithesis of Christopher Moltisanti's "Cleaver." The horror genre is often guilty of resorting to formulaic patterns and story lines which leave much to be desired in the eyes of the veteran horror aficionado. The industry is suffering from a current lack of originality. Consider the amount of horror remakes that have recently been produced. These retread films do little to satisfy the horror veteran who craves fresh innovative concepts outside the box of overdone teen slasher flick tripe. Zach Gayne packs refreshingly self-aware social criticism of the horror genre and popular culture into his 2008 short film "Free To Go." The film is self-aware in its intentional use of clichéd horror phrases. Much of the dialogue satirizes typical patterns and styles of horror speech. The film is a commentary and homage to characteristics of horror films that are both noble and base. Gayne uses humour and excessively cruel and over the top dialogue to poke fun at traditional horror dialects and behaviours. While much of the films success lies in its ability to self reflectively poke fun at itself (the horror genre), the film is also able to achieve thought provoking social criticism. Consider classic horror films such as "Frankenstein", "Dracula", or even Romero's original "Dawn of the Dead." Each of these films are able to entertain while simultaneously situating themselves within the historical context by which they were produced (ex. Frankenstein as a criticism of the dangers of probing the unchartered territories of science). "Free To Go" successfully criticizes the recent phenomena of exploitative reality television; pointing out the limits that lay people are willing to go in order achieve their "15 minutes." The prostitution of ones private life to millions of television viewers worldwide seems to be growing exponentially popular. Zach Gayne seeks to point out the foolishness behind this recent development.
