Die'ced - Short Film

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.

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.

The movie itself isn't a bad idea, a slasher scarecrow alright cool somewhat a new idea. However, it literally stole everything from Terrifier. The coffee shop scene word for word was from Terrifier honestly it's a lawsuit waiting to happen. It's one thing to be influenced by something another to completely steal from it. And don't even get me started on the acting... that was again horrendous. The movie didn't really make much sense and was incredibly anticlimactic for what's supposed to be a slasher film. I also found the use of background music to be very random and poor choice.

Overall the idea of the movie isn't bad but the execution was horrible.

This is a project movie for sure, one that looks alright overall but brings nothing new to the table.

I think it took a lot from Terrifier instead of trying to be its own movie with its personal killer but other than that it's a really straight forward production.

It has only 60 minutes runtime but the credits end after the first 10 minutes and we get post credits that also last 10 min. So there is very little time for great things to happen.

It is a movie like many before it, one that can't be considered good in todays times because it lacks quality, suspense, thrills, it just shows a mad man going around killing people.

But I have to add, Die'ced does not look cheap. Clearly not a big budget production but the people involved here did their very best. Even the kills are filmed in such ways that they look as real as possible.

I can't recommend this one but I won't dismiss it either. It did all that it could have done.

Cheers!

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.
