Dirt Boy

As the niece of the Producer, John Smalley, I should say this movie is wonderful due to the fact he is my Uncle. Well, whether he is or not, this movie is still great. I know he was very dedicated to the making of this film and it shows in every way. John Smalley did an excellent job for his first independent film and I hope he continues to make great movies such as Dirt Boy. If anyone gets the opportunity to watch this film, please do so! Thanks.

I could only watch this up to about the 50 min mark before I started skipping ahead. This isn't a horror movie. I repeat: this is not a horror movie. It could be best described as a "dramatic thriller". The acting and characterizations are bad. The plot holes are huge. This movie is excruciatingly slow. If you're a fan of gore, look elsewhere cuz there's none here. If you're a fan of suspense, look elsewhere, there is none here. The suspense is lacking because no one in the movie is ever in any danger. I bought this from my local Mart for $5 with 7 other flicks and I can't decide if I hate this or Loaded of the eight films.

this is an excellent movie, both in plot and in the acting. If you are into films that have a well thought out plot(rather than all the other fluff that is out there)then this is a film for you to watch. Jacob Lee Hedman is Fabulous as Matty Matthews......I look forward to seeing more from him and the rest of the crew of dirt boy.

I can appreciate the work that went into making this movie, but that still didn't make it a good movie. The story isn't bad, the execution is awful. This could definitely be on Sci Fi Theater. Childish dialogue and amateurish acting. Too bad, because I am sure it was made with a lot of blood, sweat and tears.

I had seen "Dirt Boy" while at the Seattle Film Festival and again at a theatre showing in Massachusetts. I recently noticed it in my local video store and brought it home to watch once again.

After watching the movie at home I realized the move was like reading a well written mystery novel. The movie draws you to concentrate on the narration, not just the visual to solve the mystery. The setting on Cape Cod in the winter was a great location for this story and the actors came across as real "Cape Codders".

I feel the filmmaker did an excellent job with his first time project and I hope to see more from him in the future.

People always say; "If you like the book you'll love the movie" with Dirt Boy it's all rolled into one.
