Deadfall

Deadfall is well above your average horror movie that you'll see on the video store shelves. It's obviously a tribute to Raimi's original Evil Dead masterpiece. Some might call it a ripoff, but I am positive it's a tribute to the sub-genre. It was made for only $13,000 and shot on 16mm film. It uses imaginative camera work and bargain special effects to get the job done well. I also enjoyed the music score used throughout the movie, it was a droning ambiance of horror recalling the glory days of the late 1980's. It also does not take itself too seriously, check out the TV for outrageous B-Movie clips used in the movie!

I must say I really enjoyed this movie. It was much better than I expected for such a limited budget film. This is how you can make an professional and enjoyable horror film on a micro-budget. This was the first feature directed by Vince Di Meglio. I am impressed enough to highly recommend this to fans of low-budget horror.

If I could have just written more than a one word review of this film I would just said one thing, "dreadful". However, you have to write four lines worth of stuff for it to be printed. But what more can you say about a film that just steals concepts from Evil Dead and still fails to be any good. Actually this may be a good film to use to show people why the Evil Dead films succeed in being good horror movies i.e. don't expect people to be scared when nothing happens for 50 minutes then one of the characters engages in a poorly staged zombie fight and then have other character fall asleep for four hours to wake up and film out that nothing has happened.

dreadful.

Theres really not a great deal to say, this film is about 30 years too late. Evil spirits are accidentally unleashed by four unsuspecting teens, the spirit goes on to possess them, blah blah blah, you really must have seen this all before. In its defence I must say there were quite a few jumpy moments where I had to cover my face and couldn't look, it was these moments that made me not ask the video rental shop for my money back.

If you liked this you'd like the Exorcist.

I thought the movie was actually pretty good.I especially like the character "Rudy".I think that it takes a lot of talent to not only write and produce a movie,but to also act in it.I dated Brady Fischer while he was making the movie and had the privilege of seeing hours of footage before Vince and him put it together.I have no way to contact Brady anymore,it's been years and if you could see that he somehow sees this comment I'd be forever grateful.My name is Heather Moore and I am Brady Fischer's #1 fan!My e-mail address is lilsister24@msn.com and if you could please pass it on to Brady Fischer I'd be forever grateful. Knowing the brains behind this movie makes it that more enjoyable.

pure comedy.its gets a score of 2 from me. this film made me laugh even though it is supposed to be a horror film. Watched at the age of 14 with two friends, one was scared, me and my other friend however found the film hilarious for a horror i would say the effects are decent of its time, but the overall throw together of dialogue, plot and mise en scene are poor. one example would be when the chainsaw comes out of the plug, if anybody could possible be scared of this then i pity the fool. it is pure comedy in certain parts and the acting is that of what i would cast in a spoof film.

2 out of 10 is pushing, however i recommend it as i think its a laugh a minute film.
