  Exceptionally Well Executed
  A review of Armistice
  by Vodka Tonic Films on 07/21/2007
  Personally I feel the crime genre is one of the most over used, but hardly any other genre works as well when it comes to telling a high stakes tale, which is exactly what this is. The production of this film spared no expense & was all the more impressive after reading that it was made for under a grand. I use the Cannon XL2 myself & noted that much of the camera work was...

  The production of this film spared no expense & was all the more impressive after reading that it was made for under a grand. I use the Cannon XL2 myself & noted that much of the camera work was truly inspired. Lighting, sound, editing, acting- high marks for each. In all honesty, if it was my call, I'd pay these guys to make features. They made this one look big budget when it actually wasn't & that's not as easy to do as it is to watch.
  
  Well played. read

  Poor bastard
  A review of One Thing On His Mind
  by Vodka Tonic Films on 02/06/2007
  It was certianly funny in a way everyone can relate to. It looked good, sounded good, and featured good actors. I noticed you'd uploaded quite a bit more, all of which I look forward to watching as soon as I'm done with this. This happens to be the first Brittish film I've seen on Trigger Street.

  Creepy
  A review of TRICK or TREAT!
  by Vodka Tonic Films on 02/06/2007
  Great job turning our beloved horror genre on its head. I loved that the decoration on the door mirrored the kid's mask and the fact that he happened to throw an egg at her face was funny. One thing I would have done is changed the line from "he's running around the house" to "he's rummaging through the kitchen" to make it more specific as to what's actually happening at that...

  One thing I would have done is changed the line from "he's running around the house" to "he's rummaging through the kitchen" to make it more specific as to what's actually happening at that point.
  Although it made for a good shot, I also wouldn't have had her lean against the door once she's successfully locked him out of the room because if I were her, I would've been frightened by the possibillity of his pucturing the door in the right place with the knife.
  This is where the movie became great:
  Once she wrapped him in the blanket, drug him down the stairs, and threatened to smash the tv over his little body, we heard the doorbell ring and I was certain we were going to find out that he was, in reality, a helpless little boy and she a delusional and homicidal freak who'd imagined the whole thing.
  I'm very pleased that I was wrong.
  The cop's gum chewing may have been a bit cliched but, coupled with his initial deadpan delivery, it was absolutely perfect in letting us know how he felt the very second we saw him:
  "This is a routine call. Some crazy chick freaking out over nothing. Let me just go through the motions."
  Never in a thousand years would I have guessed what would become of his character from that introduction.
  The ending was truly surprising. This one shunned all the conventional resolutions we've seen in recent horror films to provide a conclusion that ultimately told us the type of story we haven't seen in awhile, a good old fashioned scary tale in which our protagonist survives a chilling world of multiple supernatural onslaugthts and these foes ain't emanating from within. Nothing was safe in this world. No hero would ever come to save the day, nor would any therapy.
  From a technical standpoint, the lighting and sound was great as well.
  I'm left wondering if that was a real kid or a smaller adult actor playing the villain. Either way he moved great. And that was a well carved pumpkin beside the front door. read
