As a filmmaker myself, I am always happy when another indy film gets distribution. Shower of Blood has that going and that is a feat in itself. It is very difficult to get low budget indys distributed without some 'A' list actors. So immediately you have to admit, the film must be somewhat well done. Watching it, I agree.

The first thing to capture my attention was the safe, but clearly, classical camera movement. Seems they knew what they were doing, and they didn't break any rules that I saw. That's a great testament to independent filmmakers. So many non filmmakers pick up a camera and call action, without even having the first clue as to how difficult it is to make a full length feature. These guys and girls obviously did there homework.

The visual effects were simply, 'Hollywood'. Top end. The score, was, in a word, Wow! Soundtrack, diverse. Hope there's a soundtrack??? The acting left something to be desired, but hey, they probably were more models than actors, because they were physically very beautiful people. Lighting scheme was cleary thought out, and some of the exterior night stuff was very cool.

Onto the story (Promise I won't give it away)... It's always fun to see hot (dumb) characters going into places they shouldn't. Ha ha Deservingly, some wild antics ensue (some you gotta see to believe). Beer, babes, and blood! haha Though one characters through line is not clearly defined, I see the attempt was made and it's not enough for me to give a bad review. Yes, this story has been done before (DON'T GO IN THERE ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE!), but it has cool enough visuals, and a couple new twists that make it worthy of a viewing. It's a fun one to pop in the ole' DVD player on a weekend.
