Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Hunter Thomas Candelaria Ever sense I watched the trailers of this film on YouTube years ago I've been hooked. The film takes the famous John Carpenter classic Halloween, but instead of having bad stereotypes (dumb blonde, the "happen to be there" people, stupid know it all etc.) and gives off a new set of people (with characters who actually have a brain, deaths with blunt objects (although the film only uses its target weapon (a sludge hammer) once \=( , and a killer who will run if he needed). In my opinion its a film that gives low budget filmmakers the idea that they can make more then just a standard YouTube quality video and not have to go to Hollywood to make a film. My only problems with the film are; some over- used F-Bombs (not as bad as Rob Zombie's Halloween)(Yea I know its a non-rated, rated R film but it could be turned down a slight bit) (personal preference) and a specific transition that could be changed in the film. In conclusion the film is a great film to check out and if you can't be Michael Myers this year for Halloween, go as his adopted brother Dollman.

DDPhilly I'm serious! I don't understand the jealous hatred some "reviewers" post about this film both here and especially on Amazon. I guess it's true. Those who can't do, BASH! Speaking of "bash", METHODIC has the distinction of being the very first "basher" film! Anyway, sure there's a similarity to HALLOWEEN, but director Chris R. Notarile freely admits his love of that film and that METHODIC was originally intended as a reboot / remake of the John Carpenter classic.All that aside, METHODIC starts out on familiar ground with a small boy who kills his parents, but quickly develops into it's own interesting and original story where we learn that the entity known as "The Dollman" is more like a virus than a spirit so anyone can't become The Dollman. This theme is explored more in the short sequel METHODIC 1.5 and that film shows where the storyline is going and it has nothing to do with HALLOWEEN !! As for the acting, Brandon Slagle, Niki Rubin, Tony Dadika and Stephen Muzzonigro completely nail their roles and the supporting cast is equally as good with standouts being Daniel Werzinger, Christine Allanach and Roberto Lombardi (who's storyline features heavily in METHODIC 1.5). Also, having Charles Cyphers in the movie is AMAZING! Visually, METHODIC is stark and disturbing in all the right places and the music really enhances the visuals. Pick this up if you like old school horror with a good story. If you're into body count movies about drunk teens, pass on this!

acdcrocks11 Wow. Where do I begin with this? I guess I'll start with the story which I assume is reworked from Chris' Halloween script. It plays out very well. The basher format is a welcome addition to the horror genre. Something new. I enjoyed it, anyway. It certainly isn't for everyone. The implied violence that Chris uses in the story works well as if we had to see everything, this would be completely brutal. Thank you Chris for realizing that some things are better left to imagination. The characters are well written as well. You actually like the Lana character. Some of the others are likable too, the main exception being the Doctor, but we all know what his purpose is, haha. The twists and turns toward the end were unexpected and therefore work well. It is because of those twists that this should seriously NOT be considered a Halloween ripoff.Now, as for the look of this film, you can't even tell it's an indie. It looks great. Chris uses some very unique pans and shots which turn out great as well. I love the lighting and locations that were used here. They really capture an eerie atmosphere that suits the film well. And that hospital? Creepy, creepy place. That's the only way to describe it. When camera work comes into play in some scenes, Chris handles the convulsions in an awesome way and I think it was a nice touch to complement the Dollman's rage. There is a nice little scene that Chris uses to his advantage to build tension. Loved it. And some of those kills, man…..my goodness.And then there's that……ending. Awesome.Haha. Very well done, Chris.9.5/10.I only give you that rating as it could have been longer, but hell….it's nearly perfect the way it is. Unique, new, and unexpected. A pleasant surprise.

Russ Myles Let me start by saying what a cool movie this was for being made for practically nothing. Chris is such a talented director and to be able to make a film of this kind of caliber for next to nothing is an achievement onto it's own. Methodic is chock full of wonderful homages to John Carpenter's Halloween and even James Cameron's Terminator. Both of which are favorites of mine. The script is very rich in dialog and the humor, though limited is still fun and quirky. I got to see a private screening of Methodic last week and after talking with the director I just really felt it necessary to post something. I'm even more amazed that he got THE sheriff Brackett in his film. I'm talking about Charles Cyphers. It was a real treat seeing him play a hard ass cop. And if there is a sequel I want to see him come back for sure. The Dollman was such a cool villain. Now I don't want to give much away. You really need to see this film for yourself, but when he goes after Lana in that climatic chase I was cheering. Not that I wanted her to die, but just the energy of the killer combined with the rock score got me all excited. And the best part, the Dollman RUNS! I was not expecting that. Usually the killers walks everywhere and pops up randomly, but not this guy. He jumps off roofs, smashes down doors, bursts through closets and RUNS! Oh and his escape from the hospital was great too. It was very..... METHODIC. LOL. All in all I will say this movie was so fun for me and brought back a lot of those classic things I loved about horror. I only hope I can make a movie as cool as this some day.
