The Rockville Slayer

I saw the premiere of Unaware and I'm not sure if they had the final print ready. That might explain some of the problems. The editing was kind of choppy and the story made very little sense. Too much went unexplained or inferred and it veered unsteadily between a slasher film and a Lifetime weeper-film. There's a killer on the loose and the local townies are too busy talking and practicing self-introspection to do much about it. The action sequences are good and definitely some of the performances are clearly much better than the story deserves. The two girls Nicole Buehrer and Amy Brown gave the best performances. The supposed pros in the cast didn't bring their A-game I don't think. Buehrer is a dark beauty with a bright future and Brown is the gal next door with bucket fulls of talent and a nasty knife in this instance. Might be worth a night's rental to see Linnea Quigley again and it future does seem to be in straight-to-video.

This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen and believe me, I've seen a lot of bad movies. The amateur acting was terrible, not to mention the plot was horrific. Half way through the movie, the sound was one second earlier than the rest of the movie so when nobody's mouth was moving, people were talking- and when people were seen talking, nothing was heard. This movie should have never been made. It truly was a waste of time and money. If anyone is considering seeing this movie, don't. You will only be disappointed and wish you hadn't wasted time out of your life to watch it. Then again, if you are an avid fan of low-budget, poorly written/produced/directed/acted movies, then check it out!

This movie, if you can call it that, is a complete joke. Some no name director gets a bunch of no name actors and makes a piece of crap entitled "The Rockville Slayer." Avoid it at all costs, even your life.

The story is absolutely idiotic and it plays out like a bad soap opera with a few "suspense" scenes even though I didn't feel tense even once during the whole film. The acting is completely laughable except for Joe Estevez but he has a pretty small role.

I found this movie for cheap at a used bookstore and thought it would be worth the price. I was gravely mistaken and now I have to live with the fact that I sat through this entire film. Don't make the same mistake I did.

(2004) Rockville Slayer HORROR/ THRILLER/ MYSTERY

Co-executive produced, written and directed by Marc Selz, stupid, low budget and convoluted which centers on the slaughter of two couples, one of which is the police officers younger brother! Two FBI, a lady and young man are then assigned to help, ending one of them to be dead leading to more convoluted revelations as the film progresses. Joe Estevez (related to Martin Sheen) also stars as the top sheriff of the town. This film has some of the worst acting imaginable! II mean, I can tolerate the bad acting but if the action scenes are also bad then for this movie is a waste of anyone's time alive or dead.

I attended the premiere of Unaware in Chicago, and I must say that I was more than impressed! I went into the theater not expecting much, and wow! This is only the second feature film from Writer, Director Marc Selz who has a lot to bring to the table. He has jumped leaps and bounds from his first film, Short Cut Road. Don't just take it from me, watch them both to fully see the difference. It looks and sounds like a high quality studio film.

Unaware was a smart thriller that kept me and the audience jumping and on the edge of our seats. The story was straight and to the point with a lot of cool twists. This is one movie that you must pay attention to from beginning to end to understand, otherwise you'll miss key elements. Isn't that what the audience is supposed to do anyway?

The movie's running time was an hour and 40 minutes, but felt like an hour. There was always something going on in each scene which kept you intrigued in the story. By the end of the film, I still wanted more. The performances from the actors were great, some were stronger than others, but what do you expect from a low budget film. It was great to see the B actors like Joe Estevez, Robert Z'Dar and Linnea Quigley back on the big screen again, where they need to be. Also look out for the new talent of Circus Szalewski and Nicole Buehrer, they have a promising future. The wacky motel clerk put some humor into the film. The High Definition picture and Dolby mix was fantastic! The flashback sequences were unbelievable and the mental patients were very creepy. This definitely looks like a high end film. I asked all sorts of questions at the end of the movie to get the facts. The music score was great! This movie paid a lot of homage to classic horror/thriller movies from the past. It's great to see that in films again nowadays. I see a bright future ahead for Marc Selz and his team. Can you smell a hit sleeper? I can! All in all, if you like horror/thrillers, this is one film you don't want to miss!
