EXCELLENT!!!

A review of ROOF SEX

by intrloper9 on 01/10/2003

Very impressive. A film that looks great, shows technical know how and is also a great little story. Original and funny. In this short little piece I got so much more out of these ten minute films where not much happens. I've watched funny DV films that don't look too good and technically beautiful films that don't engage me. This film does both.

Started off really cool

A review of Leftovers

by intrloper9 on 12/14/2002

The first half of this script was very interesting, with the breakdown and the phone calls. Very strange and eerie. I was let down, however, when this strangeness was explained. I felt the story got a little too far fetched and the characters continued to made snappy one liners through out their terrifying ordeal. I really want to see the second half of this script fixed... read

Where's the Ripped Blood the Blood Ripper Ripped?

A review of Blood Ripper

by intrloper9 on 12/11/2002

There wasn't so much blood. I was hoping for more. The story wasn't anything special, typical horror, so I wanted the filmmaker to make up for it with style and gore. I still enjoyed the damn thing, don't get me wrong, I just would've like more blood. Maybe an organ or two here or there.

Overdone...

A review of ALL GOOD THINGS

by intrloper9 on 12/11/2002

This film looks real nice, but I think its a little overdone. I didn't feel for these characters because it felt way to fake. It was clear by the voice over and the music and the overly dramatic acting that this director was going after our heart-strings and not after realism. I don't know why we're suppose to read the note BEFORE viewing the film. Maybe if we go into the... read

COOL!!

A review of hit&run

by intrloper9 on 12/11/2002

This was really cool. An idea i've seen before, but was done in a new way so that I didn't even realize that's what I was watching until it was happening. Way to engage your viewers and build suspense. The long opening with the voice of the man behind the camera mumbling had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen. True terror is in the prolonged... read

Another gem from the Master...

A review of One Less Rat

by intrloper9 on 12/11/2002

I was brought to the attention of this film because I checked out Stephen Kilkie's other film "Murderama." And just as that film rocked... so does this one. Stephen seems to be quite the master at small focused stories about paranoia and what happens when the world inside... welcomes in the world outside. I must also point out how concentrated and subtle his direction is... read

This film is AWESOME!!!

A review of Murderama

by intrloper9 on 12/11/2002

I got chills from this movie. FINALLY a filmmaker who knows how to properly use sound for atmosphere. I was highly impressed by how violent this film was. I felt every slam of the sledgehammer. Yet, you never see the weapon connect with the victims face. You know why? It's called effective filmmaking. You THINK you're seeing this gruesome act... but you're really not... read

Unique story, but sparce dialogue...

A review of Aristotle Way

by intrloper9 on 12/11/2002

I must say, I had no idea what to expect from this story. One hears the words "excorcism" they immediately think of spinning heads and floating beds. But Ken Howell's movie takes a very subtle approach to the genre at first. Because we no little about the lead characters past... we can never quite tell if he's the one with the problem, or if these visions that he keeps having... read

Why is this no longer in the top ten?

A review of DEAD WOOD

by intrloper9 on 12/11/2002

How did we let this fall out of the top ten? By far, one of the coolest films I've seen on this site. It looked great, was editted great. And who cares if the story is familiar territory? It's based on an Urban Legend. Urban Legends continue to get told because they are effective stories. This film is such familiar territory that it is frightening because off it. We... read

Stylistic and taut... yet too clever for its own good...

A review of Hold-Up

by intrloper9 on 12/04/2002

I have to say, this short jumped leaps and bounds over the last one I saw. It's obvious that there is technical talent involved here. The acting is also quite good. I was absorbed in it the entire way through. My problem lies in the writing. I know that, with shorts, its easier to focus on a concept rather than an actual story. But I don't like when the writer gets a little... read
