HazMat

I really like indie movies. I like cheesy dialogue and acting, because I can usually look past that stuff. I really wanted to like this movie but, it just wasn't good. Dude gets his PTSD triggered by a practical joke gone awry and goes to slaughter all of his friends. Look, if my friends knew I had PTSD and thought it'd be a good idea to play a joke on me, I'd probably kill them all too. The worst part of this movie for me, without a doubt is the "men are stupid" scene. Look, I don't care that they want to complain about men, but it's so shoehorned in the movie that it seems the writer went "oops, my script is too short" and decided to add the scene in from another script they were working on. The ladies in the movie, I kid you not, go over, sit down and complain about the men in their lives while there is a guy RIGHT OUTSIDE trying to kill them. What kind of asinine logic is that? Is this Tommy Wiseau world? Like I said, I tried liking it but it was too unintentionally silly for me.

Yeah this was a terrible waste of time. I watched it til the end tho and was sorely sorely disappointed. 2/10.

When the non crew girls said she left her cellphone in her purse in the car, I lost it. No one under 30 in 2013 would be without their phone. Hollywood keep screwing this up. They could've at least said that they can't use their phones inside decommissioned building from the 60's(plaster walls with iron wire)

I like the idea behind HazMat. It tells the story of a reality TV show which pranks it's victim with a scary scenario, but in this instance it all goes terribly wrong.

Beyond that sadly it falls into the realm of a generic slasher but there are a few nice touches to keep it relatively fresh.

By no means is HazMat a good film but you can do a lot worse and considering its budget it actually looks fairly solid.

The Good:

Quite a good concept

The Bad:

Leaves a couple of frustrating questions unanswered

Things I learnt from this movie:

Even when there is only one psycho killer and a large number of you it still makes sense to hide because duh!

I can't help but notice that no matter how bad a movie is, the first 3 people to review it always give it 10/10, as if we don't know those reviews are from people associated with the movie.....so I say be honest...honest enough to admit that it may not be the masterpiece you make it out to be....that being said, this movie wasn't completely terrible....I've definitely seen worse.....I give it an honest 4 star rating.....
