Death Walks

I was thrilled to attend the world premiere of death walks on 15th July.

First of all I need to break down my vote, I have voted the film a 10 based on the fact the movie, ready for this... Cost no money to make. The people that made the film, either contributed talent, time, or blagged stuff.

Based on the fact the movie had no money, I've given it a ten, because you simply could not achieve better for nothing.

The film is about a shopping centre that experiences a zombie invasion in the middle of the night. This huge cast of characters spend the night not really understanding the threat that is inside their very centre. The whole cast act very relaxed about what's happening, because nobody actually experiences what is wrong with the zombies, it's just a group of heavily scarred people that just turn up and "hang out" not doing anything bad to anyone, until that is, an individual is left alone. I was amazed at the whopping twist about 3/4 of the way in, and in the last five minutes another twist. This film is funny, thrilling, has wonderful music, lasts the right amount of time, and gives all the traits a horror fan really likes without really being scary. It's a fairly light 60 minutes before it all gets a bit dark.

The film followed with a question and answer section with most of the main cast, during which we discovered that most of the cast had never acted before, I have to say there were two bad performances in the film, the rest were just great. Everyone on the stage seemed genuinely pleased to be part of the project, and director Spencer Hawken was just a delight. The film had technical issues, not just in the making but on the night, when the correct copy failed to play. But this didn't matter.

I had no involvement in the film, but I live in the town it was filmed, in fact in the same building. I was incredibly proud of all the people, I was amazed to see a legend like Francesca not only in the film, but there just 8 metres away from me on stage. I'm so proud of everyone, to make a movie this amazing, for free, and in the town I love so much.

You really MUST see this movie.

First off i just wanna say that i'm not sure if all of these glowing reviews are not just from the film makers themselves, or family members/friends etc, but what i am sure of, is that i have ZERO connection to this movie, so you know my review is 100% honest. To start with, the acting is obviously not going to be brilliant when you have a cast of non-actors being paid nothing, so be understanding of that if you choose to watch this, as for the rest of the production, i was nicely surprised at what these guys and girls achieved with a zero budget, the musical score was brilliant, very John Carpenter-esque, it reminded me of the original "The Fog" the FX were OK, and the twist was pretty cool as well, now i'm no film maker myself so i have no idea how tough it is to make a film, so i'm not going to knock these guys for having a go, having said that, i think with a decent budget, these guys could do so much better, in the end, i applaud the effort, and i had fun watching it, and isn't that what we all want from movies. Good effort guys, 5 out of 10 from me.

Another amazing film from newly found director Spencer Hawken. No budget, no problem!

I loved this film. This director is amazing. I watched his newer film, No Reasons and was blow away. I had to dig deeper into his filmography and came up here.

He pulled this no budget film together. Storywise it was great, the characters so natural and the camera work phenominal. Old school FX is always a winner with me. Watch this! Watch it twice!

I'm Mr. Hawken's biggest fan....in America that is. I want more cinema from him.

I was really impressed with this film. It's so hard to imagine how our industry has changed. Ten years ago, it would have been impossible to create a low budget movie and it be even half reasonable. Now here we are 2017 and this movie crops up.

I'm an avid Amazon Prime user, having some English heritage I love to see low budget film, but after a week of truly diabolical films that included Vampire Resurrection, The Witching Tree and May I Kill you! I stumbled upon Death Walks. I'd never even heard of it before until I took to google to find out more. Shot for nothing and we are not talking low budget here, we are talking no budget, this movie took 3 years to make.

The storyline was really good, some nice twists and turns. Amazing color grading gave the film a classy edge and then there is the John Carpenteresque score.

The film looks and feels like a movie that had a budget, it also does not feel particularly British, yes the accents are British at times a bit too British, but the look is something more international. It's a really solid looking movie, with life and vitality. It's at times very amusing, at times silly and it has the most unexpected twist.

I cannot believe how good this little movie was, I watched it alone, but plan to show my wife this weekend during our rest time. I lift my hat to everyone who made this movie. It really is something else. Well done!

Credit where credit is due, a group of people most of whom are not actors (Obviously) to create this weird little film that cost nothing. In terms of acting its a little like watching a school play, but in terms of plot, music and cinematography this is a pretty solid film.

I really enjoyed the film as it drew to a close after twist, after twist after twist were revealed, the writer clearly has a love of Hitchcock. Best of all none of the twists were obviously, nothing quite ran as expected.

I had a laugh both intentially designed by the makers, then less intentially "acting" but at the end of the day, big movies get big budgets and can be totally unrewarding, this took no resources and delivered a solid little amateur movie.

Shockingly of all, was the appearance of Francesca Ciardi, I remember in the 90s watching Cannibal Holocaust behind a pillow and being totally in fear. Then when looking at the actors that were solid such as her and Jon Guerriero the security guard, I was astonished to see that this was the same woman. Sheer masterstroke to get an actor from the most shocking movie of all time into your low budget movie!
