Fall Down Dead

To begin with I have to say that the beginning is good,because I was surprised to see(Mihaela Radulescu)the first actress;she is an important person in my country and that's way I thought that the film will be very good and I will have a scary night at last.But the time was passing by,the film was rolling and I got very disappointed.The acting was very poor even though the actors are famous...The sounds from the film weren't at the right place...nothing was happening but the sounds were there.

In the first place the cops were so stupid in that case were you have to be very scared and worried...to hurry up and call for protection..they were so indifferent..God!!!...you stay and wait for the next play and the cops were just ''playing''..you lose all in what concerns the film.

In the second place i want to say that i'm sorry for Mrs.Udo Kier..who is a great actor..but in this one?!!What have you done,Udo?..and I'm referring to the rest of the cast too.

To conclude..I have to say that it is a bad movie due to it's plot and for those who like horror movie,don't see it..I'm still wondering why I have seen it...I give it 2/10

I just saw it in the premiere here in Istanbul. The movie will come out in Turkey and Romania, it will probably go directly to the video in other countries. It's about a killer who is inspired by paintings and killing for art! Two cops and a few other people are trapped in a building to help him perform his art. The movie has a great cast and they are doing their best to keep the movie watchable, it has an OK story but it has very poor directing. The special effects and the sound effects are awful. The music also doesn't do any good. It worths a rent just for the great cast. If you don't like any of the actors in it, give it a miss.

A killer is after some people in a building while the power is out. That's it. Nothing much else happens. David Carradine's character is obnoxious. The other actors do their best, but everybody has to act like the killer is some invincible threat, and act really dumb. And they do their best to stretch this out to 90 minutes, but the script is very thin. Might have worked as a TV episode? But it's a pretty weak movie.

I saw this movie today and I am really shocked. this is one of those films that you can't understand how anybody didn't stand and say "hey wait a minute! this is crappy, we can't show this to people". maybe i'm a little bit exaggerating the situation, but maybe i'm not. the story is bad but not the worst. I can consider it OK. screenplay is really bad. acting is so poor that it is difficult for me to find the right word in English (which is not my native language) to describe it. even Udo Kier is bad in this one. during the whole movie, I was all like "what are they doing man? why would a cop do that?!". yep, the film doesn't make sense at all. and I have a few words about audio effects. it's not cool man, it sure is not cool. it is even unethical to use thrilling voices this much. two or three times in the movie, you hear increasing and disturbing voices and it turns out that there was no voice at all. it was just... not the killer. not a rat. not a machine. not the air floating through the corridors. it was just nothing. just an effect right there, occurring in the theater. I think there is a misunderstanding. producers of this film really misunderstood the thrillers they've seen so far.

p.s.: Hitchcock reference was annoying. i am offended as an admirer of Hitchcock's work.

I hadn't even heard about this 2007 movie titled "Fall Down Dead" before now in 2020, when I stumbled upon it by sheer luck. The title initially was the thing that caught my attention, and seeing it being a horror movie, of course I would find myself sitting down to watch it.

Then I saw that the movie had Dominique Swain, Udo Kier and David Carradine on the cast list, so I thought it would actually have a possibility of being an interesting movie. So I must admit that my hopes were up for writer Roy Sallows and director Jon Keeyes' movie.

However, the title "Fall Down Dead" actually depicts pretty much what the movie does. The storyline was only vaguely interesting, but it was quickly losing its momentum as the plot unfolded on the screen. In fact, I managed to endure 1 hour of the movie before turning it off out of complete and utter boredom.

"Fall Down Dead" is a slow paced movie, and it feels even slower because of the rather pointless and very boring plot that the movie had.

My rating of "Fall Down Dead" lands on a mere, but generous, three out of ten stars. This movie was hardly worth the effort, and it was a swing and a miss for the likes of Dominique Swain, Udo Kier and David Carradine.
