Crumb Catcher

What is a good genre title for movies that require protagonists to be stupid for the movie to last full length status? Usually these movies are gothic, describing families moving into haunted houses, then staying 2 hours through virtue of idiocy through ignoring hellish circumstances. But they always encompass allowing an outside entity, human or otherwise, to invade their space, then slowly escalate, moving from some form of indifference to an ultimate life and death panic. Better examples, like funny games or knock knock are thoughtfully planned out to trap the normies logically, but that takes scriptwriting effort. 90 per cent plus are just lazy set ups to create situations that would culminate in either quick dismissal or confrontation. Or in case of the classic haunted house, a quick move. I nominate "inert observer", but I am sure there is better.

But cult films are earned over time. This seems to be a project by the skotchdopole family. One of em directed, and a bunch of them produced it. When shane and leah get married, he's worried that some big secret will come to light. Although he isn't even sure if the secret really happened. And when they get to the house where they are spending their honeymoon, they spend the whole time arguing. They don't seem to do that thing that honeymooners are famous for doing. And when the creeps show up to blackmail shane, why don't they just call the cops?? Or shane could just fill his bride in on the big secret. This seems to be chris skotchdopole's first full length film direction. Some of the reviews on the film are more entertaining than watching the film itself. Maybe they should have spent the budget on getting the "invention" developed. It's probably the most interesting thing about the film. But it just really isn't a practical invention. Although the line "bingo, bongo, up the congo!" was pretty funny too. It wants to be a cult film, but it's just dark and quirky. Lots of plot holes. All horrible people. Why didn't they just call the cops? Watch it if you have the patience. It IS his first big film.

An engaging, heart-racing film with an incredibly well-casted ensemble. Each actor shines in their respective roles--weirdo, furious and passionate, there's an edge and something darker eating away at each of their insides, which begins to leak as the film reaches its climactic end. The film is for sure an ode to the macabre, sideshow suspense of the freaks and thieves, film noir and whodunnits. Ella Rae Peck grips the plot by the scruff of the neck and drags it forward as she attempts to keep sane amongst the suspicious behavior of the rest.

The love between both leads is soft and sweet and gives weight and more sadness to the drama unfolding.

So my girlfriend sucks at eating, and i found this movie on a whim. I had no idea what I was in for! I mean, the movie was terrible, like reallyyy terrible, but this guy's invention was genius! I'd buy a crumb catcher from this guy in alllll 50 states!

Zippitoy boppity flippity doo, i need more required characters, but how about you!!!??

Alright, i guess add more. I really do like the crumb catcher idea. You have no idea how aggravating it is to have someone who eats in your bed. Like there should reallllyyy be an invention to deal with people like this. Some day I'm gonna have a mental breakdown. Fin.

Chris Skotchdopole's first attempt at directing didn't stand out, but it did have some merit. The writing credits belong to Chris Skotchdopole, Larry Fessenden, and Rigo Garay, and that's where I had a few criticisms, particularly regarding the story's dynamics. It was unique, but even for that, you need some believability - and this story was just lacking that! So, we can consider it a strained effort at an absurdist suspense-thriller.

The entire story hinges on the notion that Shane and Leah are truly in love. They are supposedly so in love that Shane is terrified of their marriage falling apart if the "blow job" video with another woman is exposed. However, these two have absolutely no chemistry. Garay portrays Shane as bug-eyed and anxious, while Peck depicts Leah as a manipulative power player. There's nothing to really bring these two together and keep them together, so in the end, none of this really adds up.

This isn't a captivating piece of filmmaking, but rather an idea that is stretched beyond the capacity to naturally maintain one's attention without relying on flashy filmmaking and even flashier themes.
