Bottle Monster

I feel for Marjorie DeHey here. The script actually works and she's not bad behind the camera but the production value is very low here, even for an indie. We've all seen more done with much less. It's biggest fault is the absolutely dull and lackluster performance from lead actress Billie Proffitt. She's playing a fairly despicable character and there's plenty to flesh out there but her acting is just terrible, it almost feels like a bad joke. Even the performers in small roles far outshine her. Had a real actress been hired I could see this being a 5 or 6 instead of the 3 I generously gave it . Alcoholic parents raising children is a real issue and a serious one as well. Too bad Proffitt wasn't up to the task of being anything except unlikable. Maybe a viewing of Meg Ryan's work in When A Man Loves A Woman would have been a good start. I hope to see more of DeHey as she sharpens her skills and hopefully next time she can find an actor worthy of carrying her work.

Came across this Indie film and thought it was very well done. Obviously not a big budget, but you can see the well written story brought to life by writer, producer, director DeHey. Funny to see Willie Aames as the landlord, even in a non comedic role he still has timing. Low end effects don't distract from the collection of a well cast film. Could use more creature as a creature feature, but still a good Independent movie.

If you are a Horror fan Check it out. If you are a independent film fan, check it out. A real award winning film worth your attention. Don't worry about 'Trolls' in the basement leaving negative remarks on every Indie Film. This film is a fantastic find for any true movie fan. '80s sex symbol Willie Aames is back. Fine acting all around by a well rounded cast. Great Writing and Directing that is designed around this original and thought provoking story.

This feels like a grad-student film. It might impress at college because it looks good and has not-terrible production quality but the acting, writing and horror elements are abysmal. Even funny.

If you like listening to amateur kids garage band demos or enjoy watching other people's bad youtube videos, or your nine-year-old nephew's wonky animation, maybe you should check this out but if you are looking to be entertained for an hour or so don't bother.

An independent film that is loaded with talent. Not for the squeamish. Willie Aames is a blast to see again. It's almost like a modern drama with a 50's horror flare.
