    Bills Short Reviews For Short Attention Spans

    Well, this was a pretty fun movie. Not really laugh out loud funny, but a humorous thread runs through the movie. I was impressed with the actors & sets, as the film was on a very low budget. The director played it smart, working well on a storyline that keeps your attention as well as characters you can invest in. There are some shifts in time, and "astral projection" with one of the characters. The film makers keep it simple and the viewer doesn't get confused at all. I wouldn't call this a horror flick, as the title would suggest, but more of a drama/thriller with sci-fi undertones. It's worth a watch, and the run time is only about 70 minutes. There are worse ways to waste that time.

    Love this Indie film

    I am addicted to indie films, although not all indies are created equal. My husband and I watched this movie and were pleasantly surprised. The plot was original and had a few twist and turns which I'm am not going to divulge. You will need to see the movie to see what happens. The characters were fun, funny, with great chemistry, and believable. The music is original and had some catchy tunes. The quality of the film was pretty good and didn't seem like a low budget film. I recommend watching this horror/comedy, you won't regret it!

    A kind-of a boring scifi

    Nothing really special about this one, it is a b-horror sure, but it's just a bunch of amateur actors talking around. Just bad.

    Waiting for the sequel

    We loved reviewing this film. The film's consept was unique and the production value was on point. Lots of practical use of lighting and camera shots. Everything about the story telling was well done from shot selection to editing. Both practical effects as well as visual didn't take you out of the story at any point. Acting was also tight and very believable from the characters. For the budget this film was shot for they did extreemly well, we would love to see the next part hopefully if they decide to shoot it since they included a bit of a cliff hanger which played a little off back to the future. Really good movie after all and really worth the watch.

    One of my favorite indie films so far!!

    Mandao of the Dead is a hilarious and exciting indie movie that I think is SERIOUSLY worth the watch!! I have a MASSIVE interest in indie films, so I knew I HAD to check this out, and I had a BLAST watching it!! Scott Dunn is a really talented filmmaker and actor and I can't wait to see him make more movies in the future!!! This movie just shows how awesome an indie film can be as long as it's done right!! I watched the movie on Tubi, and I just might end up rewatching it soon!! I think anyone who has the chance to watch this movie SHOULD!! It's an incredible, funny, mind blowing masterpiece and I can't wait to check out the sequel!!

      Jackson (Sean McBride) had cut this hair shortly before the re-shoots. The difference in hair length can be barely scene in the original wide-shots and re-shot close-ups for two scenes: the breakfast scene immediately after Jay (Scott Dunn) travels to Maeve's home for the first time and the confrontation between Jay and Jackson after they use astral travel to discover Maeve is the murderer.
