siriouslysid I'm not sure where to start with this one, i just watched the august underground trilogy and am still unsure if i hated or loved it; but i knew that i loved toe tag pictures talent for realistic gore, I also read up a lot about Vogel, and knew these weren't the types of films he had the desire to make, so with Redsin Tower i did have quite good expectations. I am a fan of low budget and underground, most mainstream horror is a joke to be fair, but only when they get it right. Red sin was definitely not a film that deserves praise. The over used cliché'd plot of a "haunted" house or tower in this case, with a few annoying teenagers deciding this is a great place for a party and realise they are mistaken when they start to get killed one by one. How boring, however i knew the story before i watched and still went into the movie with an open mind trying to look past the terrible acting and embarrassing script writing. Basicaly, thats all the movie really is, just another boring over hyped low budget stupid film that didn't give itself any help to begin with, with such a terrible plot and script. The only things i liked about this film was the gore, but sadly there wasn't nearly enough of it to make this film worth a watch. If reading this and you still feel like watching- i'd only watch the last half hour as it was probably the only part that was a little entertaining. There was only one scene in particular that i enjoyed, but frankly Redsin just does not cut it. I wont write Fred Vogel off completely though and will continue to watch his movies and hope he learns how to write a good story to match his talent for creating gore.

isvguy The Redsin Tower is a throwback to the teen horror films of the mid to late 1980's. The movie that it takes its major cue from is Night Of The Demons. We all know the story…bored young people decide to go to party in a place that they really shouldn't be hanging around. In this movie that place is an abandoned structure known as the Redsin Tower. There are stories that it is haunted and that makes it an even more enticing place for our group of potential victims to go to and party.The first 45 minutes of Redsin is your standard fare, seen before in countless other films. What stands out this time around however, is the realistic partying that takes place. I mean, there is a lot of dope smoking going on. And it's not just two characters sneaking off to catch a buzz…everyone is getting high. In one scene two characters in a reefer induced haze talk about the best way to roll a joint. I found this very realistic because I have been involved in that very same conversation more than once in my misspent youth. Unlike in any other film before it, the folks in Redsin Tower really look like they are getting pretty wasted.Another riff the film rides in its first act is the jilted, psychotically jealous boyfriend of one of the partiers. Once again we have all seen this character before, but the portrayal here is totally unsympathetic. This guy is a real asshole and you can see why the girl dumped him. I found his over the top performance to be one of the highlights of the first half of the film. The rest of the acting is pretty decent for a low budget film cast with a bunch of unknowns.Once our group of stoned out party animals get to their destination is where the Redsin Tower begins to differ from the films that it is obliviously riffing on. The murders are very graphic. These are not your typical 'gore gags'. They are nasty ultra violent attacks that haven't been seen in a slasher film since the early eighties heyday of Lucio Fulci. There are also some of the most intense scenes of demonic possession that I have ever seen. I mean, it really looks like it hurts and in one disgusting scene I actually cringed. Only one special effect didn't do the trick for me, but other than that, hats off to FX guy Jeremy Cruise for grossing me out on more than one occasion.The other thing that separates Redsin from the rest of the splatter pack is the look of the movie. The set design is excellent, as is the cinematography and direction. Give these talented folks more money and a more original concept and I think you will really see them shine.The Redsin Tower is a low budget shot on video horror movie that is heads above the rest of the crap that is being released on a weekly basis from companies such as Lionsgate, Brain damage and Asylum. Is it a great film? No, but it is very entertaining and I can confidently recommend it to any hardcore horror fan out there looking for a good time.

imdb-9735 This has to be one of the DUMBEST piles of DUMB I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE I liked Agust Underground and thought Mordum was OK for what is was. Penance was unnecessary, and this it one of the most poorly directed and scripted, acted, edited films I have seen in my life. Everything in it is just a waste of your life. There is absolutely nothing redeeming or interesting about it. Actually I take that back, it's interesting to see how horrible dull and predicable illogical a film can be. Nothing is shocking the entire movie consists of a guy with a lisp that had me rolling on the floor trying to be scary and getting one of your moderate looking girl friends to take her top off and do her best impression of Evil Dead that she can. Throw Zack Morris in there and a dead end useless plot line and you have this pile or brain damage.

fuctup_ce Many independent films have been the big thing in the last few years, especially in the horror genre. Actually for a while now, with extra special thanks to the miracle invention of DVD, fans have been able to view the sickest of underground to Art-house, and foreign cinema. But there is one DVD release we are all waiting for (true horror fans that is).From Pseudo Snuff to a movie of this caliber, it's a huge leap for Toe Tag, and I believe a standing ovation is in order! From Director Fred Vogel and the infamous Toe Tag crew, comes a picture that will make you laugh your ass off, cringe in fear and beg for more…The Redsin TowerMitch (A.K.A. Mitch Bitch) is on the verge of a complete mental breakdown. After 6 years in a relationship with his now ex-girlfriend Kimberly, she has finally dumped his lame psychotic ass. His thoughts and wants of marriage and kids had began to freak her out, as she is young and wasn't too sure if this is what she wanted her life to become.Mitch gets to the point where he cannot live without her and goes on the hunt for her and her friends. Supposedly beginning at a party, it ends up that it is raided by the police. Kim and her friends decide to take the party elsewhere. Their decision for a new pot spot… The Redsin Tower.Built by a murderously deviant soul many years ago, the tower is believed to be haunted (and we all know how fun it is to party at a haunted place!) When Mitch finds out about their change of plans, his insanity and jealousy finally takes a turn for the worse. Now he is out for blood in attempt to get Kim back, either by taking her life out of fear of losing her to another guy, or just go all out and take his own life.Now, within the creepy walls and corridors of the Redsin Tower, the party begins. These kids are now on their way to unluckily discover what is in store for them, as well as you the viewer.Within the film, there were great guest appearances that took me by complete surprise; a viewing pleasure indeed. Blood, guts, gore, fear, claustrophobia, and straight up terror, this is what you will receive from this film and more… tenfold!Sorry folks, this is all you are getting from me. No movie comparisons or anything. Go see it for yourself or wait in anticipation (which I know you're all soiling your underpants) for the DVD release whenever that may be.Ratings:For screenplay and storyline, I give a 10. In my opinion there were no imperfections in this film. From beginning to end, be it the laughs or the scares, you are kept at the edge of your seat. Much writing credits are given to Fred & Shelby Vogel, although it mixed many influences from each of the Toe Tag members, many of which are brilliantly done with their own twists. If I mention any of these influences there is no point in seeing the film as it would ruin the whole thing. Going from the films Toe Tag had previously released, Fred and the crew have thrown us an extreme curveball to completely blow our minds. It's refreshing for any horror fan to view a film that does not telegraph anything ahead of time to the viewers. You are left almost completely unaware at all points as to what each scene is leading you towards. Oh! And just to add, the ending that was so twisted and mind-blowing that it will leave you thinking and wondering… what comes next?For acting I give a 9. Though very strongly acted, it did have some very minuscule weak points. Regardless of this, a meritorious job by this entire cast of newcomers. This is not always the case with an entire cast of newbie's. Outstanding!! Also, not to mention the cameos in the film played by non-newcomers, also worthy of praise.For FX I give a 10. Being that Toe Tag had quite a few able FX people on set, a huge merit for outstanding gore, makeup and all that is unholy goes out to the special FX master Jerami Cruise. Forget Savini, forget Nicotero… the master has now stepped up to his rightful place. The set and art designs done by Cristie (Crusty) Whiles were outstanding and completely believable. Watch the film and you will feel the eeriness and intensity not just from the story and FX, but the interior of the film as well. To all others involved (sorry, no listing for me to go by for names), a magnificent job done as well.As for the cinematography, I give a 10. Brilliantly shot! Scene by scene, angle by angle, the attention to detail, colors and all were outstanding. Cinematography alone can make or break a film. In the case of the Redsin Tower, it amongst everything else made the film. From looks of grime to colors and feel of Giallo, the blend was flawless.Overall, the Redsin Tower gets a 10. This film is a must for anyone who has any kind of love for the horror genre. A new stepping stone into horror that will take Toe Tag Pictures and their fans on a journey that will not be forgotten. The words 'horror' and 'terror', as of this moment, now combined create a new name… The Redsin Tower. The word 'accomplished' is also now renamed, and that name is Toe Tag Pictures. First rate horror, in the raw. This needs to be seen, needs to be known, and most definitely needs to be recognized.Copyright © 2006 Cinema Eulogiesnot my full review, for the whole thing and more visit www.cinemaeulogies.com i had to cut the profanity
