The Dead Half

Not horrible for a student film, but it kind of immediately pulled me out of it when I saw the girl who the large, pain killer gobbling, neck beard guy was supposedly dating. I'll believe in anything a movie has ever tried to sell me before I'll believe that he landed her. The film itself is as if you were actually behind the scenes just watching a couple of people with cameras while they were trying to cobble together a low rent movie. I was kind of hoping for "so bad it's good", but no such luck. Having a character say something is scary in the film doesn't make it scary, no matter how many times you do it. Having 15 straight minutes of psychic exposition isn't a great way to fill in blanks. But can't really even dump on it that much, it's unknown people out there brave enough to take a chance. And that's where some of the very best stuff comes from. This is just not it.
