Die'ced - Short Film

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.

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.

People have said this was basically a cheap Terrified knock off. I get that comparison but I also don't think the Terrifier was so original as to completely avoid movies coming out after it from getting that treatment. The storyline is fine, albeit flawed, hilariously at times (i.e., the killer was accidentally released from the psych ward newscaster of a clerical error). The writing was pretty awful and the acting was the dane. The lead actress was actually decent, especially compared to everyone else. The technical aspects were pretty awful; scene transitions were often clunky, the shots seemed to change aspect ratio randomly but not by way of lense changing so much as bad DV editing resulting in people appearing smashed. Very weird. The most intolerable part though was the sound editing and rubbish. It just didn't make sense and was mixed poorly so it airways drew your attention away from the action. All that said, I found some enjoyment in this, especially for being so low budget. Same character and general "universe" but with the above issues addressed I would even say it's passable.

Kinda had 80s feel slasher style, I do recommend this movie! If u like gore you'll love Di'ced trust me. The humor the gore the acting was on point. The killer reminded me of the Terrifier clown a bit because of his mannerisms, he was bad ass! Movie keeps a study pace keeps you thinking. It's a great popcorn Saturday night kinda movie, I wouldn't recommend this one the kids tho! But enjoy this gore fest from Jeremy Rudd. I look forward to other tidbits from Mr. Rudd. Movie runs about an hour it's a short but it keeps you interested trust me on this, great scares good humor. Of course GORE FEST.

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.
