Featured reviews
Rarely will I read reviews and never ever write them. The negative reviews here are way to harsh. As an independent film supporter, you have to realize not all films are back by a film studio. With the small number of crew members and with the incredible list of talent, I'd say this is a very good film. Well written and directed by DeHey in what looks like her first feature. Cheers.
Came across this Indie film and thought it was very well done. Obviously not a big budget, but you can see the well written story brought to life by writer, producer, director DeHey. Funny to see Willie Aames as the landlord, even in a non comedic role he still has timing. Low end effects don't distract from the collection of a well cast film. Could use more creature as a creature feature, but still a good Independent movie.
While fun is not the word I'd describe this film, it is well done. No CGI was used at all. You can see that The Monster is REAL. Now I rated this film fairly high, it did not have the budget of Avatar (That is for sure), but you can tell it is an independent production. For that I know the hurdles of indie films and this is one that is worth seeing for yourself.
This was an interesting pick for my late night horror movie night. As a filmmaker myself, I can see how this film save hundred of thousands of using a real creature instead of CGI. Wonderful cast, wonderful Writing/Directing (Normal rule of thumb is Don't work with kids or animals, and DeHey does both). Not gratuitous with gore or (brief) nudity. A well done independent film.
An independent film that is loaded with talent. Not for the squeamish. Willie Aames is a blast to see again. It's almost like a modern drama with a 50's horror flare.
