Bread Crumbs

doesn't do justice even to b grade horror movies .i was fooled into thinking that the great Mike Nichols had experimented with a different genre but couldn't believe that it was the same after watching the movie.finally came to know through IMDb that this is a completely different guy who had earlier helmed "a dead calling"(i have the misfortune of watching that too)..i think he should write something with his name so that there is no confusion to people...the movies plot was different but handled so poorly that you feel like tearing out your hair especially the wooden performances of the child actors of indeterminate age...my rating of 2 is for the somewhat different plot...but nevertheless its an hour and a half of my life i'm never getting back

BREADCRUMBS is yet ANOTHER slasher-in-the-woods low budget horror flick made with a paucity of imagination or style. It's dull beyond belief, and I'm not going to give the film-makers a break just because they didn't have any money to shoot; the British film-makers behind HAROLD'S GOING STIFF had nothing to work with either and they made a funny, genuinely heartwarming zombie film.

The cartoon credits are the best thing about BREADCRUMBS and it all goes downhill from there. The storyline sees a modern-day Hansel and Gretel lurking in the woods, where they encounter the cast and crew of a porn shoot taking place in an EVIL DEAD-style cabin. What follows is a mildly gruesome slasher flick, with the deaths all happening in the most predictable way imaginable.

The characters are poorly written and unlikeable and most of the plotting in the second half evolves around the most obvious and unworkable twist ever, so I don't know why they even bothered. Needless to say the cast and crew are all sub-par as well, making this a virtually worthless viewing experience.

Not very many movies impress me these days and I'm not going to say this one was an exception. However, obviously low budget, this movie was genuinely creepy.

You can pick up any horror movie and it be gory these days and really that's all they are. Gory sequences with a light plot thrown into it. This one took the original Brother's Grimm fable and twisted it. I enjoyed it. Some of the acting wasn't very good but fit well with their supposed industry, seemed like a bit of an inside joke. There are a few funny moments in it as well which seems to be necessary for the Horror genre as well. I wouldn't classify this movie as horror though. It's more like a creepy camp fire story.

I normally love cheesy horror but this film was just plain bad, and not bad enough to make good watching. The characters are bland, undeveloped, and the acting is terrible. The plot is slightly different than other horrors, but not interesting enough to make it worth watching for that reason alone, and the filmmakers don't provide any other reason. The pace plods on like a metronome ticking and there are no memorable moments, shocks or build ups that are so integral to the genre.

Skip this one if you're a fan of good horror, with or without cheese, because this one is just plain bland.

This movie could have been okay. The creepy feel of the movie was done pretty well. The acting was about what you'd expect from a B rated horror. The story made enough sense for a slasher flick.

The things that took me out of the movie were the mistakes. A lot of these I can only think must have been due to bad production or directing.

A good spoiler free example of this is how constantly through out the movie they are risking going outside the cabin (because that's where the killers are), but the eventually end up running for their life back into the cabin. Makes sense right, except THEY ARE ALWAYS FORGETTING TO CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND THEM. That kind of stuff just ruins a movie for me. If you're running from an axe wielding murderer, I would think you'd close the door behind you.
