Dead End

This is a wonderfully crafted, small independent picture. I was pleasantly surprised. It's as good as they come! The leader actor, William Snow is a star in the making. The locations, script, and directions are all top notch. This movie is a must see.

I am a big fan of thrillers and I have to say that Dead End fulfills all of your expectations if you want to make your heart race and jump out of your seat. It's also a film where you'll find yourself wondering just who the real killer is. I'm usually good at figuring out what's going to happen next. However, this does not fit the formula. It has too many red herrings to sidetrack your thinking. In fact, I had no clue until the ending where we finally see just who the culprit really is. I thought the story was exceptional, the actors are terrific and the movie looks really good. You have to love the Australian locations. This film would make a great poster for tourism. Oh yeah, there's a scene where the two lead actors are driving around having dinner in a tram car restaurant. That was the first time I've ever seen anything like that. Talk about romantic. But beware if your faint hearted, some of the murder sequences are graphic and the sex scenes are very sexy. I would say done with good taste but still very sexy. If you want a great ride into the world of psychological thrillers, then Dead End is a good bet. I recommend it highly.

Will Snow's performance is wonderful in this film, however badly written it is. The actors do try to make the script more believable. It is graphic at times, has too much nudity at times, has some scenes that some may find offensive but then again watching someone get stabbed and killed with blood isn't everyone's cup of tea. Snow is Todd a writer and former cop who's being framed for a murder, basic story line, he figures out who it is, climatic ending, and he gets the girl, happy go lucky in a sense. All the actors here are Aussies, so you gotta love their accent. I was amused by this, at times you wonder who the real killer is....

Dead End is loads of fun to watch. It keeps you in suspense until the very end. I'd recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. A great addition to anyone's DVD collection. You'll enjoy re-watching this thriller to see what clues you missed along the way, and to find that you are just as surprised the second, or third time around. The romantic scenes between the stars is hot and steamy. Excellent direction all around, and the cast is superb. I can't wait to see more films from this writer/director. It's great to see some new talent that has great stories to tell. It's not often that you're shocked at the end. Great job!

This Australian flick isn't that bad after all. I found it at a sell-out classified under horror but I couldn't find any horror elements in it but it's really a good thriller with some bloody murders.

It was the director Iren Koster first attempt to make a flick. It isn't bad to watch you just want to know what's going on. But the overall look of the flick is that it looks like an television flick. But not one to watch with the whole family. I come back to that later. The acting wasn't that bad either looking at William Snow (Brotherhood Of Blood) having his first role outside a TV movie. He is believable. His opponent is Victoria Hill having her first role ever. She was believable too.

By having a TV movie look you should think that it's watchable on a Saturday night with your family. I won't do that because for children it could be a bit too rough. The killings are a bit rough sometimes but never are that bloody or gory. But you will have for example a hook smashed into somebodies neck. They do show some killings and by doing that it's not watchable for under sixteens. Further on there's even some nudity and even full frontal nudity from Victoria Hill and she do reveal it all. And that happens a few times during this thriller.

It's really a who-dun-it, a bit like Dressed To Kill you will see what I mean. A good effort nevertheless and surely one to see.
