So, I checked this film with some friends.. most agreed that this super low budget horror film was not all that bad, it was simple, straight forward - but a few didn't like it.Somebody made a very good point - if the movie had been a bunch of big Hollywood names in it, it would have been every where. Hollywood releases crap all the time, but it's okay because they are the big boys. The film had potential to be better, but if was far from crap.It's a simple super low budget horror film - maybe more of a thriller. You're locked in a building, this thing is picking people off one by one and nobody knows anything about it. Was better than most typical low budget stuff we watch. It does not try to throw blood all over the place to create gore for action/effects. The actors were okay...some stronger than others. Camera work, music and overall flow was cool. Has different story lines, so was a little all over the place at the beginning but came together when the lights go out. The action picks up and it all connected at the very end - after a few credits - don't know if that worked, especially if people watching turned it off.If YOU are a big budget, Hollywood, CG creature person you will NOI like this film...but if your looking to trying something small and creative you might. Funny, I checked out the one critics review of the film, sounds almost like mine... maybe I need to get paid giving my opinion.
... View MoreFor a horror movie on a low budget... that was more bang for my buck than I expected! The cherry on top was the hints of comedy, so very well placed by the writers and performed by the actors. I relate to it because those storage places are pretty creepy. The music and suspense was well placed. The characters and the storyline was nice. It was a bit cheesy, but that's why its a good movie, they didn't try too hard to make it into some blockbuster. They used the tools they had to the best of their ability it seems. The camera angles gave suspense. The most important part to me was the hints of humor though, it's tough to throw sarcasm into a horror movie i think. They did a good job of it on this one.Anyhow, if you like low budget horror flicks, you'll love this one!
... View MoreNot a horror flick guy but checked out The 13th Unit after coming across it online. Surprisingly good camera work and acting given my expectations for a low budget film. Story line was cheesy but interesting enough to keep me going. This film gave me some weird dreams after watching it in the dark before going to bed. Probably the reason I don't normally watch horror movies. That and horror films are all cheesy to me. If you need to shut the mind off for a few hours and feel like your somewhere else, check out this flick. Just be forewarned you might want to leave the light on while found so.
... View MoreMy buddy told me about this film, said how it wasn't that great but was very creative for the budget - since we are thinking about doing a low budget film I had to check it out. I read the reviews, 50% ripping it, the other half saying its OK...my review has to fall a little closer to the okay side of the tracks. The actors, music, camera and editing was good for the little horror film it was. Some of the killing scenes were little cheesy, but not over the top bad. I've watched A LOT of "shoe-string" budget films that have major sound problems, EXTREMELY HORRIBLE ACTORS, the camera work kills you, completely takes you out of the movie. This film held together for what it was - small low budget horror. If people are expecting Mike Bay Transformer effects after you watched the trailer, then you mislead yourself. The story could have been better, but I liked the multiple story lines. I compared it for what it was...cool shoe-string budget film that worked.
