Hacksaw

Stupid, boring and cam with an old phone. I lost 1 hour.

Great movie. This movie gives me a old school slasher, grind house feel. If you want gore and blood, this is the film. This film does not hold anything back. I definitely want to see what this team can do with a budget. Great film guys. Can't wait for the next one!!! 2021

HACKSAW is a found footage film which tells the story of a couple who while on a road trip have the misfortune of encountering a mass killer/urban legend.

I am a hardcore horror fan, but even I must admit this movie is really, really bad:

-a confusing and pointless intro that mixes gore with opening credits

-a generic and razor-thin plot that has been done a million times, with nothing original except the useless filler to achieve a runtime of just over an hour

-characters who are BOTH totally unrealistic AND supremely annoying

-a dialogue that is absolutely atrocious. A fav example:

"It will"

"Not"

"It will"

"Not"

"Will"

"Not"

"Will"

"Not"

"Will"

"Not"

...

"Aaaah, Stop it"

-a hamfisted attempt at exposition by means of insertion shots of some lame ass show that has "try hard" written all over it

-heavies who laugh evilly and pointlessly like sesame street villains

-scenes filmed in darkness so we can't tell what is going on

-practical gore effects in such close ups that you can't tell what is what

-logical gaps like a shirt that is all torn and spilling intestines suddenly being neat and undamaged a few minutes later

-mortally wounded extras that just won't the f die

-a supernatural twist so dumb you would think a six-year old thought of it

-the usual horror tropes, except executed execrably

The only positive aspect is the naturalistic acting by the beautiful Cortney Palm, but her cameo in the beginning of the film has no relevance to the rest of the movie and is essentially wasted.

Avoid.

Really wanted to like this movie. Some parts worked but allot didn't, maybe that's from a lack of budget? The bouncing around drove me nuts. Some of the acting felt forced. The opening didn't make sense. The likes, I thought the gore was okay, the stalking parts were okay in the dark I guess. But some shots were too dark you can't see anything. I liked the camera work during the road trip scenes. I feel there could have been more kills in this movie. Especially for it being a low low low budget film. 10/10???? Really lol I don't think so. The movie has heart you can see that. Just feels like something is missing. Idk. Give it a shot though if you like zero budget films.

You don't need CGI and special effects to create gore when the movie is so darkly lit that you can't see what is happening. Good shock value I guess and Ashley looks good in her blood-spattered top. Just skip to these few minutes and be done. Oh and can the main actor be any more annoying? Are people really that annoying?
