The Land of College Prophets

Great film, which demonstrates what can be achieved on a budget.

There's credible acting, fantastic fight choreography.

There's also some unexpectedly serious gore and gorgeous cinematography - all of which combines to make you realise LAND OF COLLEGE PROPHETS is a masterpiece of low budget, independent cinema.

Great fun, and surprisingly moving at times too. A muscle fest for the main part though ... recommended!

Good luck to Tom, Phil and the guys on their next project.

Please support the collective, as there is huge promise in films like this.

You will either absolutely hate this movie, or really love it. There is no in between with most Cult movies and this project is no exception. If it clicks with you, it's a genuine treat. If it doesn't then watching 20 minutes of it would be too much. Also, definitely not a girl movie.

I watched it with a group of friends, some of them enjoyed it and seemed to "get it" on whatever level. The others "got it" in a different way and had a ball ripping it apart. Those two guys spent another hour skipping back and re-watching some scenes.

Either way it's worth the 10 bucks.

The Land of College Prophets shows much promise and will likely be the stepping stone to a great career for writer/director/star, Thomas Edward Seymour. The movie, while being primarily an action film with supernatural/comic book elements, has great dialogue and narration throughout the film. While obviously special effects and a larger budget could have made the film more appealing visually, I would call this an all around success for the filmmaker. This is what indie films are all about and it is rare that you get to see a truly independent action film. Land of College Prophets is a film that any comic fan should see. I look forward to seeing more work from the Hale Manor team in the coming years.

I saw this film and was totally blown away by a few things - first, the story was original and nothing like what's out in the video stores or theaters. second - the way this movie was shot is amazing, colors are good and the way the camera moves around the characters and action really ties the movie together. finally i am impressed at what people can do with limited funds - i heard that they didn't spend very much money and the result fools you - usually low budget has horrible acting and less than desirable production value. This movie has great acting and good production value. I think they did their own music score for the film, which fits the bill for this production. If you like dark mysterious horror or futuristic films, this is a must. More people should be making movies of this caliber.

"Land of the College Prophets" utilizes its low budget to good effect. The saga-engrossed characters meet challenges and villains all against the constant backdrop of today's mundane culture. The College Prophets are really about imagination striking out in the middle of Coca Cola land. Their parallel universe occasionally collides with the mundane and usually the mundane loses. Mike Aransky, Phillip Guerette and Thomas Edward Seymour are to be thanked for their robust homage to every great saga comic we've seen. Watch for Russ Russo too in a standout as Jonah Joe, a purist in the world of fighting. All in all, it's an exploration of point-of-view, exclusively from inside the saga. All the rules of the world don't work anymore, only the dark laws of the land of the College Prophets. John Huff
