Dungeon

At first, I wondered why the film was only 65 minutes, then I saw that it was an indie film, so I naturally assumed it would be just okay at best. I then started watching it and was impressed by the performances, especially by the lead, Andy Bowles, himself. While watching the movie. I looked Andy up online and saw his YouTube page. I've never heard of him before, but was impressed by all his YouTube videos and continued watching the movie. His performances while trapped in the dungeon were amazing and very realistic. I would say that all of the performances were anywhere from good to great. Maybe the only thing I didn't like was the high pitched buzzing sound at 46:28, but I understand why it was included.

The movie was well-shot, well-acted, and very entertaining. It was more like a play than a movie. I like the realism of the storyline. The barber was hilarious! Kate was AWESOME. I was very happy I watched this as it restored my faith in indie movies. Perhaps the weakest actor was Detective Marsh who didn't seem like she was into the story as much as the others. James should've looked a lot more disheveled (and smelly) than he did, since was in the same room for a while. Looking forward to Dungeon 2!

This actually turned out great. Lots of plot twists with a solid storyline that had me glued to the screen right to the very end. Tubi recommended this to me and I wasn't expecting much but this is for sure one of the better mystery, thriller indie films out on there to date. The progression is on point, characters don't feel way over the top, the audio mix feels like you're there with the characters as the storyline thickens. An award winning film that deserves the recognition it rightfully deserves. I'm not going to give away the ending but I'm hoping for a sequel. Congrats to everyone involved and I'll be sure to re-watch this again. I'll give this a 9.

Dungeon is an enthralling film that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Directed with skillful precision, the movie delivers a gripping narrative filled with twists, red herrings, and a web of intriguing characters, making it an engaging and satisfying experience for fans of the genre. In addition to its engaging mystery, the film delves into the psychology of the characters, exploring their motivations, fears, and past secrets. This character-driven approach adds depth to the story, making it more than just a conventional murder mystery. Full credit to the director who wrote, directed and acted in this.

Watch out Indie Film World there is a new power couple on the scene! Real life husband and wife Andy Bowles and Faith Stanek show incredible chemistry in this thriller! With all the twist and turns the story moves quickly and smoothly. Dungeon is full of tense climactic building moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Bowles delivers an amazing performances showing off his acting chops and displaying a wide range of emotions. Stanek portrays a psycho better than Amber Heard could have (great casting). Add in the exceptional cinematography and Dungeon is by far my favorite indie of 2023! 10 out of 10 Stars! Overall a fun thriller!

Is this a fully formed horror movie with believable actors, effective cinematography and a plot that makes any sense whatsoever? Absolutely not!

What it is, is an am-dram horror spoof (deliberate or not) with the production values of a film like the 'The Disaster Artist'.

Entertaining enough for 65 minutes, but not remotely what the scores and the synopsis suggest you're going to get.

Be aware what to expect and you may be mildly entertained by a vaguely entertaining melange of ideas, clumsily put together and acted in (if I'm being kind) a naturalistic style. Even, if it leaves you baffled at the end.

If not, you're likely it be mightily disappointed by a film that does not meet its brief or match the scores its currently achieving...
