10/10
Cult Style Horror Does Not Star Sandra Bullock
19 January 2011
While Sin-A-Man is entitled to his opinion and i can respect anyone's opinion as long as it seems well rounded and not like a round of trash talk. He compares Carmela Hayslett to Christina Ricci then Ricci to Sandra Bullock. The fact is that having a Philly accent is not a hindrance when THE MOVIE TAKES PLACE THERE!!! She isn't Ricci or Bullock and to compare her to either is both in accurate and unfair as both of them had budgets and well seasoned crews. The fact is that this was a first outing for many involved and while it is apparent that there is some choppiness to the editing it would be apparent to me that this is intentional as it is clearly aiming for the genre of cult horror and even if it weren't I think it works for a story about a crazed man on a killing spree as any movie with this topic that was too cleanly cut would suffer for the cleanliness of the movie. I will agree that Gina was a little on the older side for a high school student but the fact is with horror you pretty much cast hot chicks for the sake of having hot chicks in it. I will also agree that Detrik was brilliant in this movie. I just think when you review a movie you should take into account what movie you are reviewing and accommodate its review by not comparing it to Hollywood flicks because this movie definitely holds its own with all the Halloweens, Blair Witches, and other independent projects. I think Mr Grillo has made something to be proud of and look forward to seeing how his film career evolves and unfolds.
