Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Interesteg What makes it different from others?
TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
burtwarner I relearned how to throw up as I watch movies when I rented this one. One of the best worst movies of all time. Loved it for that. This is what happens when cow dung and the human brain have dinner together and decide to disprove Einstein's Theory of Relatively by making a film about how bad you can make films.The best thing about this movie is that the people involved have realized that they should not be in the film business and that that job at McDonalds they quit to go to film school just might have been their entire life's highlight reel.Note to self. Hit hammer in face hard to knock myself out before even coming near this film ever again.On another note, I see that Miley Cyrus is now due back on Planet Earth. Got to go.
RobinHood2010 I picked this up with no idea what to expect, overall I was not disappointed. The production values are pretty good, and the audio quality on my 5.1 system was excellent. Most low budget movies really fall down on the audio but this movie sounded great. Dark Reprieve held my attention for the entire time as I was truly intrigued by the two stories running at the same time. It can be hard to follow at times, however, I recommend that you stick with this one. If you only like Hollywood blockbusters then this movie probably isn't for you, but if you want to see some thing different and can watch with an open mind give this movie a try. To those ripping on the acting...get over it!! What are you people, theater critics for the New York Times? Good grief this movie isn't Shakespeare, what do you expect? This is a popcorn B-Movie that's all. I found it entertaining any way. Budget limitations taken into account. I swear many of you people rent these movies and then expect Citizen Kane.
hanfuzzy I saw this film at a local film-fest sponsored screening last night. I was prepared to be disappointed, as I was by the last low-budget locally-filmed 'scary' movie I saw in the same situation, but was instead pleasantly surprised. This film has fairly good acting & production values for something in this budget range. Most significantly, the director was willing to cut it down to 80 minutes to maintain pacing which shows a commitment to art over ego. The flashlight-lit scenes were particularly well done, compared to many scenes which I find too dark even in some Hollywood big-budget films, and the more active scenes didn't suffer from the ubiquitous modern trend of too-rapid cutting, although there was a bit too much use of 'recycled' shots and the forward-and-back jumps (non-linear plot) were sometimes unnecessarily confusing. The overall plot and theme, however, were fairly good and not predictable as one would usually see in this style of production. In fact, the final twist (and you know one will be coming) is essentially unpredictable yet not contrived.The creepiness and scares build from setting (mostly shot on location in a real abandoned century-old jail) and plot, and there is little gore to speak of, unlike many films in this genre. This is a positive aspect, as the director is relying on story-telling instead of visceral or cringe-inducing effects. The extensive use of this location is one of the highlights of the film.Overall I give it a only 6 out of 10 mainly because of the budget limitations. The score isn't bad, but I found the sound affects a bit lacking. The new, unknown actors give a good first feature film effort, and the plot and writing are very evocative of better Twilight Zone episodes.
creativewriter-1 This film should be shown at every film school across the country to show what can be done with a small budget, creative idea for a story, some half decent no-name actors and an amazing Director/DP. The film looks gorgeous, the acting is fairly decent, and the twist at the end, while somewhat clichéd, is still handled well. The music/sound I thought was very effective, and first time actress Sarah Jackson is a natural. For being his first feature director Richard Boddington proved he can deliver. Worth checking out.R.
