Broil

This movie is all over the place, and the music was incredibly bad and loud!!! I had to keep rewinding it, to try and make out some of what the characters were saying. Still I couldn't hear what they were saying at times.

I ended up falling asleep almost halfway through it, and left my boyfriend awake struggling to hang in there and give it a chance.

I later woke up almost at the end of the movie, only to now find my guy fast asleep next to me. LOL! So, I pressed rewind back to where I left off on it, b4 I fell asleep. I wanted try watching it again while I was well rested...just to be fair on my overall take on the movie. I struggled my way through, until I finished it. Whew!!!

I liked mostly all of the characters...Especially grandad "August", his daughter "June", and "Chef".

It's a rainy night here, so I don't feel my time was a total waste watching it. It's definitely NOT the worst horror film I've seen. Just give it a chance, and see for yourself. You may really like it. Good luck!

I had the impression an OK movie was taking place in the background but I couldn't follow the dialogue or story because of the loud and intrusive noise of the music, I finally gave up about 20 minutes before the end.

This movie starts a bit slow and you have no clue what direction it takes. Once you get into it, it will keep you watching. The writer clearly has been influenced by some other movies within the mystery and horror genre, The Man from Earth has been mentioned, I'd like to add 'He Never Died' as well.

The well thought through story is what makes this movie stand out above the, mostly cliché vampire horror flicks of the last decade or so. You do need to stay focused to make sense of the whole story: the origins, history and grand picture. Together with the actors giving it the right feel, it gets a 6,5 rating, despite the sound track being somewhat poor and badly channeled (I had to use the 'normalize' feature of my sound system). Blood and gore/hack and slash isn't overdone, and that works quite well here (just wait for the surprise).

Cast is certainly interesting, and well fitted for this movie. Grandpa August was excellent. There was some very decent SFX. The flashback editing part could have been a tad smoother. For a low-budget production, this is was well balanced.

I can certainly recommend this, but watch it with subtitles if you can.

Broil had been marinating in my watchlist for months. I finally decided to give it a try. Bad choice.. I'm surprised I actually finished this film. It was boring and unentertaining. Jonathan Lipnicki held is own, but the rest of the cast was pretty stale. Nothing really happens throughout the film. Just a bunch of corky dialogue and strange music. Nothing I'd recommend. 4 stars

I dont get all the negatives about the cast the chef was excellent, the grandfather was excellent, the rest were passable not great but did the job. The grandfather and the chef were suppose to shine and they did. Creative story actually I liked it the editing took out important parts of the plot but I pieced it together enough for a solid 6. Would have easily been an 8 but the loud overbearing soundtrack hurt this film. Also i liked the spooky mansion.
