Night Explorers: The Asylum

I was just going leave a rating on this film and not a comment but as there are only three comments on here and the one from Nocturnal Mammal was just downright nasty and must be reviewing the wrong film. I thought "Why not?" This is not a found footage film as is asserted over and over by Nocturnal. It's not the best film I've seen by far but for a low budget effort, it's not bad, so I judge it on that. The cinematography is good overall, the acting is more than passable. The score could have been more coherent, it's not bad but each scene feels like it is scored separately or stock music was used, with no overarching theme (I work in sound mixing). The film starts slow but we are rewarded with a full on blood and guts ending that does not seem to let up. There seems to be practical effects used here and they are pretty good. I work in the industry and know how hard it is to complete a feature film and I think my maternal instincts came out when I read the one-star review and felt sorry for the filmmakers, as this seems to be a small independent movie with not a lot of support. I think we should encourage filmmakers and if you have genuine gripe, give examples of where they went wrong rather than just stating "abysmal acting, unlikable characters" and such. I am sure the filmmakers will appreciate it.
