Rows

Ok, this might be totally my fault. I like to knit and stuff whilst watching anything so its entirely possible i just didnt pay enough attention. But, a cornfield is really a difficult thing to make interesting. I mean, its definitely been done before, but this time... This would be immensely improved with tighter editing and maybe more as a 45 minute episode of a tales from the crypt type deal. Its interesting enough that i stuck to the end waiting for answers, but the journey was pretty boring and the end still befuddled my stupid cracker mind. It was really difficult to have any sympathy for the 2 female leads as there was no development and no insight into anything they were doing. It did have a dream like kind of quality to me, like when you're dreaming and weird stuff is happening and you just roll with it, but other than that its pretty non memorable.

I tried, dang it!!!!

Rows is a most imaginative Indie film inspired by Grimm's Tales and the disappearance of two sets of girls years apart. The second set of girls apparently returned but remembered nothing of who they were or where they'd been, according to the makers of the film.

A dark, modern fairy tale of an enchantress casting a spell upon protagonist Rose and her friend, thereby leaving them lost seemingly forever in a cornfield, doomed to repeat horrific events until they can figure a way to escape by finding answers to these strange happenings and breaking the spell.

The cinematography is excellent and there are some unusual shots that add to the surreal atmosphere of the film. The music is outstanding and the sound effects create tension and a creepy, unsettling feeling. This film definitely succeeds in what it sets out to do as a fantasy thriller.

Rows is a heart pounding horror flick that's well filmed and crafted with lots of care. It's amazing just how much work goes into any movie at all. The setting made for a very claustrophobic environment. I'm a sucker for a good run through a corn field so that always catches my attention (maybe it's my love of the movie Signs).

The film gives you the twists and turns you'll want as well as enough thrilling moments to satisfy someone looking for an entertaining flick to enjoy on a night on. Keep an eye on these filmmakers as they continue to advance in their careers!

Grab some pizza, plant yourself on the couch and enjoy some indie filmmaking fun!

Where did they find these robots? How much did they spend on Ativan? Did I miss something? Did they miss something? What is everyone staring at? Why can't they blink, these robots? Why can't they breathe through their noses? Is that why they can't close their mouths? Why did no one remember to charge their batteries? Did they leave the charger at home? Weren't we just here? Didn't I just see this part? Where is my mind? Why is that girl vacuuming in her underwear? Where did the rest of the script go? Is it with the charger? Wait, where is the charger? Do you have the charger? Is that Lauren Lakis? Wait, she was in 'Lovely Molly'? Wasn't 'Lovely Molly' good? What was that thing at the end of 'Lovely Molly'? What time is it? Where did that guy come from? Where did he find that tie? Why is that other guy so mad at the corn? The pesticides don't kill ants? Who makes this pesticide? Why can't I snort it? Where did you find it? Whose pesticide is this anyway? Did David Lynch lose his pet monkey? Why didn't they wait for the monkey to finish the script? When did the monkey learn to edit? Is that stock footage? Did I fall asleep? Did I forget to ask for no MSG? Was I dreaming? Is that my drool on the pillow? Was I snoring? Have I ever seen a film this strange before? Where can I buy the soundtrack? Why didn't the director's parents ever tell him no? Is there an Oscar for most peas smuggled?

Rows is really really scary...but don't take my word just watch the trailer, if you can. I swore I'd never watch another cornfield scene after Joe Pesci gets it in Casino, but Rows tops that and somehow made me break my word and sucked me in...the setup is naturally paced and draws you in, and then the house and creepsters and those rows...rows and rows of corn stalks and the crazy stuff starts building...I won't spoil it but if you are a fan of the genre do yourself a favour and see Rows. Production values quite amazing for an Indie film, this could be a $15 million budget and you wouldn't know the difference, very professionally shot I'd say and a booming soundtrack (when needed). I was blown away by Rows and I'm not a huge fan, to tell you the truth, of the genre, maybe it effects me too powerfully, I'm the type that doesn't get to sleep after Texas Chainsaw Massacre etc., so I sample only occasionally, and Rows delivered...
