Until IMDB either has writers that spellcheck their description or hires those whose first language is English every movie I review is getting a 5 or less no matter how good it is. It's getting annoying.
... View MoreExcellent job all around. Knowing the budget, I was stunned by the production values. Low budget filmmakers should definitely watch this; it is proof that it is the combination of writer, director, actors and DP that make a film and not necessarily the budget. I believe the horror genre is particular difficult--especially with limited funds. The suspense factor was perfect -- keeping one glued and wondering what was around the next corner. Most importantly, "characterization" was present, which is so often lacking in low budget horror films (and high budget truth be known). These particular filmmakers clearly know how to bring it all together and make it work. Kudos.
... View MoreI think this is a very complete movie. You can find romance, you're gonna laugh, you're gonna be scared. A very well done job with new actors and with a really low budget. You can tell they all worked really hard for this. This was the first time for Adam Shlachter directing. Congrats to him!. This movie shows that you don't need thousands and thousand of dollars to do a good film. You just need a good team. Director, actors, etc. and of course a good and authentic script. I think it has a very creative and humorist script although it's a movie. Special effects did a really good job. Don't miss it. Loved the ending! It keeps the option open for a second part!
... View More"The Oakley Seven" is an excellent satire of horror film archetypes: The heroine, Ana Maria, a Mexican immigrant with a dark past. The love interest, Zeke, the rebel without a cause. The blonde bombshell, Jessica, the hot girl with an attitude. The troubled soul, Anthony, who hides behind his gangster persona. The cocky athlete, Jock, whose only goal is to get laid with his clueless girlfriend, Cosmo. Finally, the nerd, Janice, whose love for her teacher, Whitney, prevents the truth from coming out. This film is unlike most modern-day horror films, which rely too much on hyper-violent gore and not enough on characters. Great job!
