Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
robbciav This was such Shiite, I watched the whole thing, I doubt anyone else has. Another idiot with a camera and 20 bucks. All reviews are "unpaid" involved... includes IMDb. Try to watch it... you won't last, it sucks so bad it's painful. Oh the mess that made this will add tons of codoos to erase mine.... I hope I saved some of you time..........Shame on you... SHAME....BE EMBRRASSED for your involvement in this......
moviefansme Plot summary: Charlotte is an aspiring actress looking for her big break, and David is a wannabe filmmaker looking for a project. Will their chance encounter evolve into a beneficial collaboration? As Charlotte tries to pique David's interest in casting her for his next project, she won't believe what sort of film he's in the process of making.Just as Hannibal Lector makes or breaks "Silence of the Lambs," the success of this story hinges on the actions and motivations of the villain, David. You have to suspend your disbelief and accept that David does what he does because he's crazy and crazy is what crazy does. I wasn't convinced. Just as David is a wannabe filmmaker, he's also a wannabe serial killer. While getting the job done, on both counts he's clumsy and unimaginative, amusing himself but not the audience. In the pantheon of movie psychos, David is little league. As he is shocking but uninteresting, so goes the movie.The standout is Kristi Ray as Charlotte, who she plays convincingly. David Long, playing a character named after himself, may be a convincing actor. He needs to write a more coherent character to showcase his acting abilities.As horror, this film is mundane. Where the story excels is as an indictment of Hollywood culture--the sleazy producer, the egomaniac actor, the manipulative director. The story is eerily self referential for the actors while making the film, portraying filmmakers who get unwittingly lured into a snuff film and having to wonder if that was happening to them in real life as well.
Slytherclaw90 Pieces of Talent has been a magnificent surprise for me that almost didn't happen! I was attending a horror con on the Gulf Coast for the weekend and the Pieces of Talent poster and trailer kept catching my eye. I did a little research and decided to pick it up on the last day of the con...can I say, "Best. Decision. Ever." The independent horror scene is where I keep finding my favorite movies this year. This one did not disappoint! It is a perfect balance of horror, love, horror, art, horror, gore, and a little bit more horror. Add two great leads (Kristi Ray and David Long...who happens to play himself in this movie, kind of scary!) plus a perfect pace and you've got an excellent movie! This movie will evoke many different emotions from you. I felt tense the entire movie, but at the same time I felt happy during some scenes, sad during others, and disgusted during a few...the gore was great! :-D The direction and look of this movie is absolutely beautiful, also. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone. Can't wait to see what the future holds for these guys! Wonderful movie!
trashgang Another perfect example that independent flicks aren't that bad at all. This is a pure horror with all elements in tact. It's beautifully shot and it do has an arty feeling sometimes but don't let that be in the way of seeing this beauty. I was surprised by 2 things, the acting that is excellent coming from Kristi Ray (Charlotte) and David Long (as himself). The other thing is the gore added in some scene's. The effects for such kind of flick are amazing. We follow Charlotte who is working at a strip club and hates every minute of it. By taking a break outsite she comes across David who just been smashed together. David introduces himself and Charlotte believes every minute what he says resolving in a friendship. But David has a dark side.The flick starts off with excellent gore and from there we do get to know both main leads. Sometimes it do move a bit slow but the way it was edited and filmed kept me watching. The gore and horror comes in slowly, first you have the hammer smashing that moves into the harder stuff. There's also a bit of nudity at the strip club and just watch one girl what she can do with her juggs. But the nudity isn't gratuitous, it do adds towards the depravity. Charlotte seeing some future with David and David seeing Charlotte as the perfect item for his film you can see what is coming.And did I mention the score that moves from weird sounds to the typical country style. Yes, it all fits in perfectly with the way of shooting. Don't expect a slasher or a cruel horror, this is more about the desperate meeting the sicky, and a sicky it is.Gore 2/5 Nudity 1,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
