AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Brian Goss Obviously this movie will be very hard to find, but it is a great example of what can be done with no budget. The story was ahead of it's time with it's tale of battling psychopaths. Excellent fun is to be found in this rare video.While the acting might be a little stiff, you have to give credit to the amateur actors. Many people make movies while in high school, but Tim Ritter was able to get his work seen by the "right" people and move on to making "real" movies. This is the movie that helped Tim to get noticed, while not having the distribution of his later works, this movie is one that is worth tracking down.I think this movie is better then "Truth of Dare – Critical Madness". Fans of Tim Ritter movies would really love to see this early example of his work.
