Spin the Wheel

I think this movie has a really unique take on the end-of-the-world scenario. It brought up a lot of questions and kept me interested in the characters and the plot all through the movie.

The story centers around a group of people in a bar as the world ends, and the devil appears, telling them they can save the world if they beat him in a game of russian roulette. I really enjoyed the writing of this movie. The dialogue is not on-the-nose like many Hollywood films. It's an indie movie that makes you think, and indie film fans will love the slow burn and all the twists and turns in the plot.

Given that the movie was made for less than $25K, it looks like a film that cost many times that amount.

It's well worth a watch and I agree with the filmmakers... if it's the end of the world and I can't get to my family, I'd find the closest bar too!

Spin the Wheel delivers exactly what it says on the package. You know going into something like this that it will be showing its indie film colors and it definitely does. The majority of the acting and production quality feels average at best, but there is some gold in there. There are some excellent shots, and the lighting style complements the tone well. Pacing feels right in this film. The slow burn at the beginning is nessessary for the story but short, and wastes no time getting into the meat of the plot that carries you to the ending with a deliberate, but not rushed cadence.

Some actors in this film are obvious stand-outs that punch way higher than thier weight class. While watching Neil Chase and Brandon Horth on screen you easily forget you are watching a film that cost less to make than a used Toyota Camry. The value proposition to the viewer here is fantastic, and a pleasent suprise in the end.

The negative reviews of this film is grossly over exaggerated. I can only assume they come from rivals in the production house's locale as this film is clearly a diamond in an otherwise unremarkable rough.

Spin is definitely worth your time, with the legs for an additional watch or 3.

Spin the Wheel is a captivating thriller that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The film is packed with unpredictable twists and turns that keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat. S-Raj Kumar shines brightly in his role, delivering an excellent performance that adds significant depth and intensity to the story. His portrayal is one of the film's standout elements, elevating the overall experience. The plot is well-constructed and maintains a solid pace, building suspense effectively throughout. If you're a fan of thrillers with strong character portrayals, Spin the Wheel is definitely worth your time. The film balances its thrilling narrative with Kumar's compelling acting, making it a thoroughly enjoyable watch. It successfully combines engaging storytelling with a memorable performance by S-Raj Kumar.

Recently watched this film and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good character development, well developed story line. It made you feel as though you could actually picture yourself in the movie. I would have liked to know the ending whether they had actually died and went to heaven or whether they were actually in hell being in the dive bar where it all takes place in. Perhaps the writer left that to our imagination which was probably the intention. Overall solid movie night watch with an original story. Also the music throughout was well played and the twists it took you on were well timed. Lighting was also notable with great use of color and ominous tones. Overall enjoyed the movie.

With low budget indie films, you can get some stinkers and you can get some gems. Spin the Wheel is definitely one of the Gems, and really hits exactly what it was trying to be - and definitely deserves a watch.

Spin the Wheel is surprisingly well shot considering the budget - it easily looks as good as many films with 5x-10x the budget. Actually - I change my mind, it's NOT really surprising after all, because Brimstone Pictures' other films also all look great, so they've got the art of making films with a lot of bang-for-the-buck figured out.

And in the bang-for-the-buck department... the acting is pretty solid all round, the story is written pretty well and isn't predicable, characters are developed well in a short amount of time plus some well hidden and unexpected character twists... I mean, what's not to love?

Of course, it's not Shawshank Redemption or The Godfather... but it's easily worth the time to watch, and it actually had me thinking 'what would I do if I was there' and provoking that reaction is an accomplishment for any film. For me, it's a 'Thumbs Up' and a score of 8/10 for the indie films I've seen this recently!
