    Good storyline with a solid creepy theme

    This is a pretty intense horror flick that has most elements any horror fan could ask for. Yes, it may be of a low budget, but still keeps the tension and psychological atmosphere to a higher level. Bravo!

    slow but enjoyable

    Caught this low budget film at an online festival and enjoyed it for the most part. The characters were interesting and the story made up for the lack of special effects and surplus of overwrought dialogue. Main criticism was low quality of filming technique and sporadic strained logic of some characters, but it wraps up fairly tightly.

    SOLID indie horror

    Director/writer Joe Leone has created a terrific atmosphere around the idea of the dreaded writer's block. Imaginative all the way through. Way worth the watch!

    Low Budget Horror Done Right

    Joe Leone's Death Sentences is a slow burn masterpiece with a unique premise and a twist ending you won't see coming. It's also creepy AF!

    Well worth the watch!

    I Get The Last Word

    Just don't.

    This film is on the lower end of low budget movies. I am willing to give credit where credit is due in this regard but this fails to deserve much credit. The story is about the only thing that might deserve a second look.

    A writer seeks isolation in a family owned cabin in hopes that it will help break her writer's block. While there she is confronted by the ghost of her cousin, who was also a writer, with the proposition that if she were to help reveal her cousin's murderer, her ghostly cousin will help her finish writing her book.

    I could see how this might be an interesting set up but the potential is wasted here. The film is S-L-OW. We spend a lot of time just sitting around trying to figure out how to get past writer's block. There were a total of two scenes that raised the creepy level but those moments were short lived.

    I'm not going to give spoilers as to what all happens but the rest of the film is just something I watched and will quickly forget.

    I say this is a pass but by all means, check it out if you are still interested.
