Hacksaw

This is a 1 hour film with 6 minutes of opening credits. Remove the pure black scenes, stock footage of the building, and the couple driving around arguing along a highway we are down to 10 minutes of the real plot. I feel it had all the ingredients but mixed in the wrong order the cake came out flat from the oven. The story didn't really make sense at all. Shout out to the paid advertisement by 'duct tape' as it only takes one strip across a woman's body to hold her down. There are these really long scenes with a reporter that take up a third of the film and contribute only one detail to the plot.

I love the gore in this film. The music kicked ass. The actors were okay. You can see allot of the technical errors in the edit, the lack of budget and also with the length of the film. But for what the film is trying to be, it works.

WARNING! This movie is not for those with weak constitutions!!! Here's the way it is: if you're the kind of person who needs CGI and multimillion dollar effects and production in order to enjoy movies - you're probably not into gore movies anyways.

The rest of you will enjoy Hacksaw! The cast and crew put as much blood, sweat, and tears into making this blood curdling indie horror film as the horrifying characters did killing everyone!

Stupid, boring and cam with an old phone. I lost 1 hour.

HACKSAW is a found footage film which tells the story of a couple who while on a road trip have the misfortune of encountering a mass killer/urban legend.

I am a hardcore horror fan, but even I must admit this movie is really, really bad:

-a confusing and pointless intro that mixes gore with opening credits

-a generic and razor-thin plot that has been done a million times, with nothing original except the useless filler to achieve a runtime of just over an hour

-characters who are BOTH totally unrealistic AND supremely annoying

-a dialogue that is absolutely atrocious. A fav example:

"It will"

"Not"

"It will"

"Not"

"Will"

"Not"

"Will"

"Not"

"Will"

"Not"

...

"Aaaah, Stop it"

-a hamfisted attempt at exposition by means of insertion shots of some lame ass show that has "try hard" written all over it

-heavies who laugh evilly and pointlessly like sesame street villains

-scenes filmed in darkness so we can't tell what is going on

-practical gore effects in such close ups that you can't tell what is what

-logical gaps like a shirt that is all torn and spilling intestines suddenly being neat and undamaged a few minutes later

-mortally wounded extras that just won't the f die

-a supernatural twist so dumb you would think a six-year old thought of it

-the usual horror tropes, except executed execrably

The only positive aspect is the naturalistic acting by the beautiful Cortney Palm, but her cameo in the beginning of the film has no relevance to the rest of the movie and is essentially wasted.

Avoid.
