Die'ced - Short Film

Let me start by saying that as I have gotten older, I am not nearly the aficionado of horror films that I once was. When I was a kid, I LOVED them, but these days it seems as if the genre has run out of steam. That said, there is plenty to like with "Die'ced". The film is well-shot and looks crisp and professional, which often eludes many indie film makers. In addition, the SFX are quite good for an indie film and far better than what I normally see in low-budget thrillers. The SFX team went to great lengths to create interesting scenarios, which I also appreciated. The run time of this film is VERY snappy, which is also a good choice, as the plot is mainly a vehicle to deliver all those creative and graphic kill scenes. And while a few of the performances from the actors were a tad wooden (why didn't they react/scream more given their dire circumstances?), overall, this one is well-made and directed. To summarize, this a solid indie effort, and I look forward to more from Director Jeremy Rudd.

I read that this movie was similar to terrifier but they didnt say they pretty much copied the movie! This movie was horrible though. Bad acting, and the kills sucked in my opinion.. barely enough gore for me. No storyline.. sigh I should have cut it off after the first kill but I thought it would get better. I liked the 80s look to it, but yet again another thing copied from terrifier.. down to even the music! Idk if this is supposed to be a joke or something, but it's not funny. I wish I didn't waste my damn time looking at this. I can't recommend this to anyone that is a fan of slasher films.

Die'ced was an unexpected surprise.

With traces of Terrifier influenced throughout, it seems to be a more soft version of the concept.

(Sorry to those expecting a bedroom type scene.) Benjamin is enjoyable when he tries to be funny but the blend of "haha" funny and "deadly" serious isn't quitr there yet. Although it has time to blossom and mature.

The characters are a little stiff but you don't watch low budget horror movies expecting an Oppenheimer performance. You know what you're getting into.

As an indie filmmakers myself, I can appreciate and respect anyone who has the time, patience and love to dedicate years of their life to making a movie. So do yourself a favor and go check out Die'ced.

Going in with no expectations just hoping for an enjoyable movie. Sadly there was nothing to enjoy. The acting, special effects, and story were horrible. Wanted to turn it off within the first ten minutes but figured I would finish what I started. Main character is an Art the Clown knockoff as a scarecrow, just not as likable or well done. No originality just seems to be trying to make money off the current indie horror success. They at least use practical effects, but those are poorly pulled off. This is not a movie you want to pay to watch. Instead of coming up with an original idea this is just copy of others work. An inspiration is fine, but this was just a straight ripoff. Die'ced just doesn't make the cut.

A garbage film from a garbage script. Half baked, pretty much unfinished. I know because I worked on it as a crew member. The director barely directed it. Seemed more concerned about videos and photos for social media. Clearly a vanity project. The DP mostly had to direct it out of necessity to move things along. No experienced editor hired. Which is why some of the footage changes in aspect ratio, because they didn't know about de-squeezing the anamorphic footage. And didn't care to properly color grade it either. Sound is garbage because they pulled it mostly from camera instead of using the sound guy's audio. Not to mention, most of the crew hasn't even been fully paid. And we're talking since March 2023. A complete waste of time if you ask me.
