This has the same terrible writing and dialogue. The two guys that wrote it have no idea what they're doing so everything happens solely to move the plot forward without any nuance and there's just tons of stuff I could rag on like the bad acting and half the cast doesn't even bother with the fake American accent and this could all be a fun bad movie if it didn't take itself so seriously!!

Like I can just see the two guys that wrote this sitting at a bar giving each other congratulatory slaps on the back and that just drives me nuts for some reason!! Ok in all fairness, they actually do try to inject some humor in ONE scene, but it's so awful. AWFUL!!

But I'm still gonna give it two stars because the lead is a Clarice Starling knockoff FBI agent who wears the same outfit for the entire week or whatever this movie takes place over and in some scenes she has blonde highlights and in some she doesn't and I absolutely loved that.

There's no doubt that there's a positive to this remake. An upgrade if you will, covering the themes of loneliness, heartbreak and grief.

Upcoming actress Charly Nash really does steal the film and makes the whole thing interesting from start to finish.

It's a sad story about a woman who recreates the same Valentine's Day every day. For us, the viewers we understand that this is routine, but for how long has she been doing this?

Nash swings it out of the park. No dialogue. Completely universal in this understood short film, for anyone who has ever felt heartbroken and lost someone romantically. Cinematography could have been better, only a few, but it's good.

Inspired by Saw and featuring Detective Hoffman himself (Costas Mandylor) Death Count has quite a stacked cast including Michael Madsen, Devanny Pinn and Robert LaSardo.

Death Count certainly isn't breaking any barriers in terms of originality with this idea of people kidnapped for their transgressions and made to repent through gory means.

It's torture porn at its finest and gore for the sake of gore with an added inclusion of tech and the Warden (Costas Mandylor) who is employed to run the game. Death Count weaves the story well as we find out the link between all the characters and nothing feels forced.

The film does kind of fly off the rails in the third act and becomes a little bit ridiculous but it's certainly never dull.
