Vanguard

A well known genre convention is running through the woods however surely any narrative cannot maintain flight through the woods without actually building tension in any way what so ever and still think it is going to be effective in engaging the viewer. This film as stated by others attempts an art-house take on the subject ,however the effectiveness of this is undermined by low production values and visual repetition.A small and interesting looking cast cannot save this film or my Friday night in front of the little screen they simply created a visual and auditory track to co exist with my shallow snoring and the odd little fart as I rolled over and went to sleep, and found my self having to re watch it in the morning just to make sure it did in fact lack anything much to hold my attention.

OK, I was looking through the DVD's in my local supermarket and 'The Vanguard' caught my eye. So I pick it up, turn it over and read the sleeve. Think to myself: hey, this sounds like it might be a good film.... oh my god!!! I could not be more wrong. In my opinion this film is the biggest pile of steaming boring dull dull dull crap I have ever seen, and I've seen some real crap films. It appears to be a very low budget film, and even though there's nothing wrong with that, it just adds to the cheap mind numbing feel of this movie. If I could, I wouldn't of even rated this movie with the score of 1 - it really is that awful. By all means, make your own mind up, but I seriously advise all to avoid this dross at all costs....you have been warned x

What more is there to say..? This film sucks! Everything is bad; the acting, directing, the filming and the effects. The DVD-cover was attracting, but the film was rubbish!

A friend of mine bought the film for 4 dollars, and we thought that this would be THAT good film because of the cover, as I mentioned earlier. It started as a pretty bad film, and transformed into something more worse as the time went. So, after watching it, I will not hesitate to put it on the list of the worst films I have seen in my life. And for those who say that it could have been worse: It could not have been worse!

In the course of a year I watch app. 600-700 movies - and compared to most movies "The Vanguard" sucks big time. I really struggled to find a reason for why this movie was even made. I really wish all movie directors would spend more time thinking about what they want to say with their movies - instead of just collecting 90 minutes of worthless film and call it a movie.

There's no plot - and the settings/scenery are unconvincing and the actors should really consider a career change, maybe somewhere in the fastfood or cleaning business - as they have no talent for anything, as this foul crap of a movie clearly shows.

I first saw this in 2008 on a dvd which I own. I dont want to throw away the dvd. Mayb after 50 years, this film will be in the journals regarding atrocious films n the print might get lost. Jokes apart, this aint no movie man, jus a zero budget time waster. Read some very positive reviews on the dvd cover. Even the poster looked cool of the guy with an axe. Hav learnt a lesson. Never believe the reviews on the dvd cover. The biggest mistake i did was that i jus bought the dvd without checking the prolific reviews on IMDb. There was no zombie action, jus a guy running..... that too in a fake forest. Was it a field or park? The helicopter man. What can i say! It was a toy helicopter made to fly n then shot as a video.
