Title: Entertaining, but student film level production values?
Review: This movie is a head-scratcher. I'd be curious to learn the history behind it. It has the look, feel, and polish of a student film. Scenes start and stop abruptly. Music cues come to an abrupt end as if there wasn't time in post production to do a proper transitional fade. Audio is sometimes out of synch -- again as if not enough time in post production. There's very little coverage -- many scenes are shot with only one camera set-up. Apparently it was shot on 35mm but looks to be 16mm.The lowest budget Hammer horror film is ten times more slick and professional than this movie.It almost seems like a two-part TV episode with a little more blood than usual? If you were to place it in that category, it's a worthy endeavor. But otherwise the production values (aside from the interesting location work) are student film level quality.On the other hand, the DVD transfer is top notch... for whatever that's worth.
Is the review positive or negative?
