Wreck

Bad acting, bad story line, just all bad. Special effects also bad

Dont be dissuaded by the low scores, this film is absolutely smashing. The gormless but gutsy heroine stumbles her way through a script so thin Stevie Wonder could see through it at night. The nonsense, sorry, action starts when she gets her foot trapped under a car after crashing in the woods and fixates on moving the car rather than digging away the soft ground around her foot,, but that's nothing, nothing compared to what follows. The Grandfather of all Crap Creatures is stalking her, a creature so biblically crap I'd bet even it doesn't know what its meant to be, at a guess I'd say Oscar the Grouch after a week long session on the Buckfast. There's a shower of truly rubbish baddies chasing after the mysterious briefcase handcuffed to her wrist for reasons never explained or even hinted at, there's even a token random rambler with a beard and wooly hat who finds her, lamps her with a tree branch and tries to steal the case, only to be set upon by Oscar the Were-Whatever!!, and throughout all of this everyone keeps a straight face. This film has been made with a tongue the size of Godzillas slippers firmly in it's cheek and should be applauded. I imagine the crew had a blast making this film and I for one appreciate the effort. I would have marked it higher but trust me it's not for everyone, if you don't have a sense of humour you'll hate it.

I managed to endure just 12 minutes then turned it off, its another one of those very low budget films that has literally all cast, film crew, directors writers and all in the pot.

The sound was awful, dubbed in places where it didn't need to be dubbed, corny storyline and awful acting.

I rarely switch off but just couldn't go on. If I could go lower than 1 I would.

This is possibly one of the worst watchable films I have ever seen. Some are unwatchable, this I made it to the end mostly to see how much worse it could get. We love indie films but this is just too low budget and too low talent. Except for the opening titles and stock footage, it looks horrible. It is a handycam horror because it looks like it was shot on a handycam - out of focus, badly compressed, jittery and simply downright ugly. The copious amounts of stock footage look good but begs the question, did they really have to buy a shot of a leaf, couldn't they even shoot that right? Sound was uninspiring but generally without fault. The editing is dire, there are constant fades to black and endless repeated stock footage. Many scenes have nothing happening, which brings me onto the story. There isn't one. It's a 90-second high-concept short dragged into a feature. Nothing is explained. If they had done something interesting like the beast was the trapped lady's spirit animal protecting and it was all in her mind it might have been entertaining and you'd forgive the bad technical aspects. Either good story, good technical or good actors, without any you have nothing. Each scene consists of stock footage, some talking about nothing, more stock footage then fade to black, repeat for 70 minutes. Nature documentaries have more action. Onto the beast, it looks terrible, comically bad. The costumes were awful, not just the beast but the cast - quite why these gangsters transporting something illegal are dressed in the most conspicuous cliche suits with retro walkie-talkies (wouldn't a mobile phone with a bluetooth earpiece be better and casual clothes draw less attention to themself?) is beyond me. Acting was dreadful, the man hiking in the woods was the standout worst. The sleazy club boss was far and away the most entertaining character, sadly after the opening scene he is never seen again. The final battle is quite entertaining but it's let down by the stupid story and that dumb briefcase. Overall, it is worth watching purely to see how bad it is, even with its short length it is still boring. Credit where credit's due; it got released! Film students everywhere can learn from all the mistakes these filmmakers made.

Almost like a home made video where actors' families & friends can enjoy watching with a laugh. They need a trained FX expert to do the Adobe After Effects properly.....
