I really found this movie impressive. So few times do I see an independent horror movie that genuinely displays a clean technique and develops it through the movie. Dave Reda really understands the technique of building a horror movie and "Bit Parts" certainly serves those skills. Not only that, but the script really shows a love for these characters and doesn't portray any of the characters as two-dimensional at all, you really understand the justifications of these characters despite the horrible things they are doing. Particularly impressive also was the performance of Molly Fix as a lead. Highly recommended for fans of independent horror.
Guillermo Del Toro has created several beautiful and striking movies before, but this tops those by far. In many ways, it's a darker version of a fairy tale, similer to "Alice in Wonderland", combining many aspects of different fairy tales, but Del Toro paints a remarkable picture through this movie. The character designs seem to be something out of a sketchbook illustration, yet somehow, they work visually in this real and dangerous world that the characters live in. If possible, watch this movie with it's companion piece, "The Devil's Backbone", which in many ways share's this movies tone.
Highly recommended, seek it out, and enjoy this movie.

This movie received a very positive review on www.aintitcool.com, so I decided to buy a copy.
I have to say, for a group of mostly kids, this movie was very impressive. It combines aspects of some very popular and funny horror movies, and at the same time has some very original moments.
Of course the technical aspects are limited, however, I have seen movies from larger companies that have a lower production value (I'm looking at you "Ax'em").
Find a copy of the DVD, and keep an eye on the career of Miss Emily M. Hagins.
