SNOWBLIND is a fun grindhouse future spaghetti western movie! SNOWBLIND is a dream come true for every B-Movie enthusiast: An apocalyptic world provides the scenery for a story lifted straight from a spaghetti western Â– Coming fully equipped with that genres typical toughguys and lots of hard-hitting one liners. In Snowblind, the atmosphere of a grindhouse flick meets the visual slickness of a modern-day graphic novel. SNOWBLIND was shot entirely against green screen Â– using the so-called "backlot" technique. Only through that method it is possible to bring our stories' epic landscapes needs to the big screen on a low budget. In the impressive visualisation, realistic environmental factors such as snow, ice and fog will clash with stylising elements like backlit silhouettes, slow motion effects and graphical elements straight from the pages of manga books. Maintaining typical features of the western genre at the same time creates a unique kind of visual irony, thus compensating the budgetary constraints with a lot of freshness and charme.

Impressive for a small project, but a pretty bad movie otherwise

I liked the atmosphere of the movie a lot. They used a lot of green screens and then stained glass and grained film effects to create a surreal feel of the whole movie. That helped a lot with the suspension of disbelief which, let's face it, it's needed to even watch Snowblind.

The plot was pretty weird, in an post-apocalyptic world, with an evil "governor" hiring a gunslinger to kill another gunslinger so he can get his wife. A surprising move for someone who gets to use an entire army whenever he feels like it. I watched it, though, because of the said visual effects and the obvious effort that went in the film. They lost me when the black guy came out of the snow and then started singing. Of course, that is not characteristic of the film, but the scene just threw me off completely. The ridiculous gun battles that followed closed the deal.

Bottom line: an interesting experiment in movie making, Snowblind is distributed freely through Bittorrent in the Vodo network and funded by donations. As such, it is a decent effort and the makers have obviously invested quite a deal of effort in doing it. However, as entertainment value goes, it is pretty weak.

Wonderful

Fyi i am not a critic, i am just a guy who likes to watch movies. This is the first time i feel the need to say something after watching a movie made out of hard work and dedication. I am very impressed i loved it from start to finish there were a few parts where i thought they could have done without. I wont get in to details about which part because I'm certain that any movie lover out there will figure it out on his own.

Once again loved it i really liked everything about it the plot the setting the characters and even the acting was not bad at all. I'd gladly watch the next movie. They could have however done a better job with the characters bit more background on them wouldn't have hurt but it is what it is. If you have time for a movie that shows you the old saying is true all is fair in love&war then watch it you might just like it.I Assure you this is not "Asylum" material.
