Feral State

It's a fairly decent directorial debut for newb writer and producer Jon Carlo. Had the story been less convoluted and had more continuity, this could have been a cult classic. At the end you're left shaking your head, and wanting closure.

The 84 min runtime was decent, but the pacing needed improvement, especially due to the "all over the place writing".

The score was decent for a b-film, and the cinematography on point. Casting was good, although I found Ronnie Gene Blevins a little annoying and unconvincing in his role, as was AnnaLynne McCord. Perhaps it was from the inexperience of Carlo directing his cast properly. However, first-time actress Sif Saga as Lexi was outstanding - a real natural I'd say her performance was the best of them all.

Overall an ok one-time watch b-film. It's a 5/10 from me.

My husband and I had no hope for this movie as 1- it was shot in Citrus County and having lived here for 37 yrs and knowing what it's like and the type of people here, we just expected nothing but some cool sights for nostalgic reasons. And 2- Anyone making a good, or decent movie wouldn't be shooting here. But, this was a fantastic movie, well done and decent acting. Completely unexpected. My husband is a major snob when it comes to what seems to be low budget movies and he loved this. I absolutely LOVED seeing all the places shown. Especially Big Blue, that place was such a staple in my childhood and early teens, I grew up out there and lived in Arrowhead for 18 yrs. Had my 6th birthday party at the Roller Barn! Grew up eating at Chicken King, in fact my old fashioned grandfather tipped a waitress there with a penny tails up once she was so bad! ( Early 90s) And let's not leave out Scott Addams butthurt "Eternity in hell" billboard! All in all great movie! Even met Nick Tamposi the other night and talked to him about how much I loved the movie and places featured, not even realizing it was him, at the liquor store ( featured in the movie) Seeing my liquor store guy Beamer in the movie was the cherry on top! It's a must see for anyone living in Citrus County!

I was all excited to see this, and was watching and watching. She is beautiful, of course . She's a great actress . Then they stole that thing about running down the hill . The story from colors that Robert Duvall says to Sean Penn . That really really did not sit well with me completely stolen, it's too bad it could've been a great movie and it it's a drag when people get lazy like . It looks nice and it could've really been something . But that really set a tone. I feel bad for all the people at work on a movie like this that had potential in an end up going nowhere. Oh well, what can you do?

It was a decent movie. I like the grit. Ronnie Blevin was the highlight.

Gritty films about the desparity among the poor and homeless and orfant social classes, and love to see an indespicable clanleader that rules with love and terror his tribe of young and hopelessly lost sole that will trot the trailway to hell for eternity, then this is a film for you.

I like such films, even though i admire movieart thats more drugrelated but with the same kinda social personalities, a will recommend a look at this. The grumpy old man give a plus for the score and the unsteady camhandling.
