Terrortory

Just think, higher budget absolutely loaded with CGI this could have great. I know people like practical special effects but I'm a CGI lover, sorry. The story was great but show the evil as mythical creatures with killer CGI and.... Wow what a story.

A couple tells each other scary stories until the lights come back on: a hunter encounters a siren in the woods; a slasher terrorizes a group of actors in the woods; a horde of drones hunt down hikers in the woods; and a clown kills more actors in, you guessed it, the woods.

Compared to movies made by brand new filmmakers, on a behind-the-sofa-cushions budget, filmed over the course of a few weekends in the neighboring trails, widely released to just about anybody that will show it, Terrortory is better than might be expected. So, filmmakers, please don't be discouraged, and please keep trying.

Compared to feature length horror films, with budgets that don't need a decimal point, intended for theatrical release, Terrortory isn't good.

Youtube quality production values, without any real charm or originality to compensate. The actors were mostly competent, but they couldn't save the film on their own.

Low budget indie film not worth the time. I love an indie horror flick when the story/stories are somewhat original but this was not one of them.

This is what happens here in LA when rich people give their kids a bunch of money to blow on something they know nothing about. These hacks can't even figure out simple dialogue! Example..a bunch of friends out in the woods that were in different groups. Everything is fine, but suddenly a guy gets murdered. Girl hanging out with murdered guy runs back to others (who have no idea what's going on) and says "John just died!!" (I forget his actual name). Their response wasn't, " WTF HAPPENED!!" or "HOW!!! WTF!!!". Their response was, "Are you sure?" WHAT??! SERIOUSLY??!?!?! You're camping and your friend runs back and tells you another friend is dead, and you respond by saying, "are you sure?" without asking wtf happened?? My 12 year old could write better dialogue. That's just a taste of how bad this movie is. I will give it this...if anyone is a fan of Troll 2, you may LOVE this movie. For those who don't know, Troll 2 has a cult following as the worst horror movie ever made. So if you like movies that are hilariously terrible, then definitely watch this. My wife and I were busting up the whole time. If you're just looking for a horror movie, then watch just about anything other than this movie. Home Alone scared me more than this movie. Dead serious. 😂😂

'TERRORTORY': Three Stars (Out of Five)

An ultra-low-budget anthology horror movie, telling six different supernatural tales. It was written and directed by three indie filmmakers; Dan Doran, Kevin Kangas and Mark Wenger. It stars a cast of completely unknown actors. The film is pretty cheesy, and amateurish, but there are a few quality elements to it; especially considering how low-budget it is.

The movie centers around a couple that's trying to entertain each other, while waiting for the electricity to come back on during a power outage. The guy (Brad Masters) tries to impress his female friend (Laura Kiser), by telling her five very bizarre scary stories. Each supernatural tale revolves around different people being stalked, and killed, in the woods. The segments are titled 'Gotz', 'Siren', 'The Prowler', 'Smiling Jack', 'The Drone Collector' and 'The Midnight Clown'.

At first the film was pretty painful to watch (full of atrocious dialogue, nonsense stories, and bad acting); but as it went on, I started to notice several elements I liked to it. I think to really enjoy the movie, you have to respect low-budget filmmaking; being an ultra-low-budget filmmaker myself, this is something I can do. The movie is pretty bad, in comparison to mainstream horror flicks, but for a next to no-budget film, it's not that horrible (some of it is kind of cool).
