Gareth Crook The acting here is really quite poor, even Christopher Denham is far from the quality of his performance in Billions. The premise is quite fun in an obvious way, Photographer with PTSD, starts to unravel further when he finally musters the courage to start shooting again with an old camera that has as much baggage as he has, capturing things on film that may not be there... yet. It's really just a series of tropes, but despite its flaws it's oddly enjoyable and for all its predictability it does manage to raise the pulse, but there's no edge.*Apologies for the poor title to this review, I needed a laugh after this.
evemas-am The movie reminded me (as mentioned in the movie itself), of R L Stine's Goosebumps' Say Cheese and Die. It was more like a mash up of the Japanese movie Premonition (2004), The Dead Zone, and Dexter. Either way, I did not hate it. It was somewhat unique in its own way and entertaining. Also, what made the movie stand out was the unique soundtrack.
omendata Movie had a good premise and started off quite well but soon went down the toilet with its over the top gore, poor photography and confused story.The music was actually not bad; very reminiscent of John Carpenter and in many places seemed out of place , the plot was confusing - was he actually a psycho and imagining everything which i presume was the end game there wasn't much explanation at the end and it seemed to end too soon. The over the top gore actually began to make it look like a comedy and we started laughing at points when we really shouldn't have!Some poor acting and bizarre plot holes didn't help.Overall it could have been good but ended up in the bargain bin bucket!
shawnblackman A man gets an old WWII era camera that he uses as therapy to get over his post traumatic disorders. He fires off ten rolls of film and discovers that in each roll of developed film there is a picture of someone dead. Every death depicted happens within a few days. He discovers one of the pictures is his fiancé. He tries to stop fate by substituting a life for hers but it only delays things a little bit. Before you know it he is a full fledged serial killer trying to preserve his future wife.The film is a slight variation of the Final Destination series meets Shudder which is basically messing with death. This one pulls off the tension pretty good with some violent deaths. Fast paced with a synthesizer type soundtrack. The problem with this one is that it peters out near the end, almost as if the writer got tired Overall not bad.5 hacksawed heads out of 10.
