Body Keepers

But nothing ever did. What was the point of this? I'm sure the filmmakers and actors are nice people, but I kept waiting for the story and horror to kick in, and it never did.. Every scene felt like a deleted scene. The nail in the coffin was the unlikable characters. They were all terrible honestly. I'm sure the makers are happy they got a film made, but next time please brainstorm a good story and characters before filming. Being an indie is no excuse. I've seen a ton of good indies.

I applaud everyone involved in this first time film, especially the actors, some of which have gone on to do Big Budget films. I have seen a lot of Colorado films, and this one actually had a good story line, and great direction. Great film for an Indie

I am a HUGE fan of Tommy Wiseau's so bad it's good masterpiece The Room. Body Keepers is good in much the same way. The gay best friend is so over the top it's hilarious. The b*tchy goth girls are so "I hate everything" that you'll be cringing in your seat. There's long scenes of people getting drunk. The f-bomb is dropped every time a character can't think of a good comeback (which is often). All of the acting is really cheezy except by the extras, a lot of the speaking extras are decent. There's one point where the boyfriend, Tanner, is watching some marine vs. zombie movie and his girlfriend asks him what he's watching. He just stares into space and we cut back to the marine vs zombie show. I guess he didn't even know what he was watching. I couldn't stop laughing at this part.

I often hear bad editing thrown around by amateur film critics but have you ever seen a movie where there's a blank screen placed in the middle of changing camera angles? I don't mean like a transition shot, I mean there are like two frames ACTUALLY MISSING between changing angle. The characters argue in class and call each other names and the teacher is just like "yeah, okay." Speaking of the teacher, I thought this guy looked familiar and it turns out he was in a JonBenet Ramsey documentary and a hitman movie I saw a few years ago ALSO made in Colorado. I guess the Colorado film community is pretty small.

Anyway, if you want a good laugh, pour yourself a highball, call up your buddies, and strap in for Body Keepers.

Well well well, yet another example of what is so bad with US horror movies on a low budget. I could have acted sooooo much better.

No one on Earth would give this movie 10 stars. No one. It's poorly written and very slow moving. It appears to want to be a sort of teen Freddie or Jason or take your pick movie but it's just not good. The acting is moderately better than other indie movies of this ilk, but that doesnt help much. The direction is way too bad. Action doesn't keep moving. It's really not a particularity good movie but it's the really bad writing that really sinks it. I gave it 2 stars cuz they tried.
