Paintball Massacre

This was quite a surprise, had elements Of Danny dyers severance but was enjoyable To watch. The one liners from some of the characters was brilliant and so funny

Over I thought it was a much better than some Low budget American films I've recently watched! We decided to view this film after watching a major hollywood flick archenemy and out of the two I would Rather of watch this. The story line was great some of the effect where are you would expect but overall a good watch

The film isn't that bad, the idea of a school reunion turned deadly isn't original but does make it easier to write, most of them die, one of them (or someone they all know) is the killer, and this movie fails by setting it up and just giving no real ending. You can imagine the people behind this film thinking they're clever, leaving the killer's identity up to the viewer, or open to interpretation, but the reality is it just comes over as if they couldn't be bothered to finish the story.

The acting is passable, there's no award winning performances, no real standout talent, which is why you won't recognise any of the main cast. The attempts at humour fail as do the attempts at horror since most of the kills happen off screen.

Chances are you'll identify or recognise some of these characters from your own school experience and had the kills, script, ending, acting, any of those been better the film might have worked, as it stands it's not one I would recommend to anyone, but it's also not one I'd put on a list to avoid.

Its like they just could not be bothered with trying to act as the writing and directing was such poor quality. The ending was similar, they just couldn't be bothered. I feel I could write, direct and act better.

It's a great title and premise, and this is what drew me to it and delivered most of the enjoyment. Plus it had a great tone and vibe which carries you through to the end.

It does have some flaws, though. The script only really starts the character development at the same time as when those characters try to work out in earnest who is actually attacking them - about halfway through the film - and therefore will be too late for some of the audience. So the first half just feels like a series of clunky, implausible, unnecessary jokes. Plus, there are some holes. When they find the initial massacre, they strangely underreact, even talk about going for a beer. In all, the first half chooses jokes over believability and suffers for it, but the second half comes into focus plot-wise very well.

I will say some of the acting is pretty wooden, some is okay, but also there are some really great performances, especially from Cheryl Burniston and Aoife Smyth.

This is one of those heroic efforts on a tiny budget, which I am here for. If you go in with that in mind, you'll have the best time.

No pun intended - can you imagine a massacre just with Paintball? Actually that would be quite funny - but there is more here than just Paintball of course. And you can tell. Interstingly enough there are some actors in this you may know from other stuff, like Nicholas Vance of Hellraiser fame.

Not sure if that is enough for you, suspension of disbelief is also important. There is not much of a story. And the movie has quite a few flaws from a logical standpoint .. also you can tell this does not have a big budget. All things considered the effects are ok given that fact of course. So be aware what this is and act accordingly ... watch it or not.
