Dustin Mills provides us here with his newest title, everything an independent horror fan would want. The top mid-western girls of independent cinema are featured in this film and you get to see every inch of them all. The CGI effects are fun and different from the normal practical gore effects we are used to see in these films. The story-line is fun, as it pokes at 80's genre films and the Ohio independent horror circuit. It never takes itself too seriously and provides a surprisingly large amount of entertainment, which these days after all the trash coming out of mainstream theaters, it's good to just get entertained sometimes. If this is Dustin's best work to date, I cannot wait to see him outdo himself on the next one.

Jared Cohn delivers here a great homage to the classic exploitation genre women in prison. With a cast of virtual unknowns lead by the drop dead gorgeous Sara Malakul Lane, we are shown the tale of a young girl wrongfully imprisoned and wronged by life itself. She continues making bad decisions but with choice for in this vicious prison environment the only way to make it through the day is to find a way to survive.

We are given a look, a realistic look, at prison life, but we've seen this before, even on the shows like Locked Up, which was notorious for showing real prison life. The direction is fine, the camerawork and lighting are all good, the music leaves much to be desired, perhaps someone should've chosen a more appropriate score, and there's several continuity editing errors. I have seen some of Jared Cohn's other work, I'm sure this is just from lack of great personnel or a rushed schedule.

I wholeheartedly recommend people watch this. You get a fun-filled non-stop gripping tale of a young girl's survival, and if that's not enough, it's filled with non-stop gratuitous nudity on an epic level.

With his first film Jeff Wedding gives us a throwback to the 90's cop dramas. With a tale of a damaged cop who ends up going after a very damaged serial killer and victim of child abuse. The subject matter of child abuse is handled very realistically, not really shown, but you get the emotion from the voice overs. This is a good touch cause it let's you get into the mind of the killer, and why he's doing what he's doing. Very reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs, which I'm sure was some inspiration behind this movie. David Mellow does a wonderful job with the cinematography, the camerawork and lighting. The sound design is of very good quality.

For being an indie film-maker, here are his first attempt. You can see already he films his films with a quality higher classed than most indie film-makers. This is no masterpiece and it does tend to pace itself on long takes of people talking, very similar to the crime dramas it's based on. The movie it reminded me most of was the fantastic film Relentless (1989). The flow and plot-line are very similar in there. Katie Groshong shines in the limited role she has, but Ben Clayton keeps the movie moving.

All in all, I give this movie kudos for being a director's first attempt, and a very good one at that. For Jeff Wedding would go on to make masterpieces.
