Bottle Monster

Very interesting story that definitely builds as it goes on to an explosive ending. This film is not for everyone, but I think you'll like it if you like great story telling. A well deserve award-winning film worth your attention.

This feels like a grad-student film. It might impress at college because it looks good and has not-terrible production quality but the acting, writing and horror elements are abysmal. Even funny.

If you like listening to amateur kids garage band demos or enjoy watching other people's bad youtube videos, or your nine-year-old nephew's wonky animation, maybe you should check this out but if you are looking to be entertained for an hour or so don't bother.

I feel for Marjorie DeHey here. The script actually works and she's not bad behind the camera but the production value is very low here, even for an indie. We've all seen more done with much less. It's biggest fault is the absolutely dull and lackluster performance from lead actress Billie Proffitt. She's playing a fairly despicable character and there's plenty to flesh out there but her acting is just terrible, it almost feels like a bad joke. Even the performers in small roles far outshine her. Had a real actress been hired I could see this being a 5 or 6 instead of the 3 I generously gave it . Alcoholic parents raising children is a real issue and a serious one as well. Too bad Proffitt wasn't up to the task of being anything except unlikable. Maybe a viewing of Meg Ryan's work in When A Man Loves A Woman would have been a good start. I hope to see more of DeHey as she sharpens her skills and hopefully next time she can find an actor worthy of carrying her work.

If you are a Horror fan Check it out. If you are a independent film fan, check it out. A real award winning film worth your attention. Don't worry about 'Trolls' in the basement leaving negative remarks on every Indie Film. This film is a fantastic find for any true movie fan. '80s sex symbol Willie Aames is back. Fine acting all around by a well rounded cast. Great Writing and Directing that is designed around this original and thought provoking story.

Incredibly well done indie film. Yes, you can find flaws in its limited budget of under $200,000,000, but the storytelling and all the points are all there and they hit the marks. I give this film 8 pedipalps up (= 2 thumbs up).
