I have been a horror fan since I was a teen. I remember when the exorcist came out and it was impossible to see it because of my age. I finally got to see it later on video and then finally in the theater.
I have heard so much about this movie but never had a chance to see it all because of it's limited release in theaters. Too bad the good old days of independent horror drive-ins and big old theaters before they were chopped into Cineplexes are gone.
I finally did get to see a bootleg video copy (when you get a bootleg the picture quality is always going to be bad) but I was amazed at the production quality of this film - believe me I have seen them all and was absolutely floored when I heard the entire film was independently produced, filmed, edited, etc all in Tampa, Florida! That alone is commendable. Everything from the makeup to the cinematography to directing, music, etc was that of a Hollywood produced film.
I thought the movie itself was entertaining. It had a good mix of good old horror along with mini subplots comedy and some other surprises you do not see in many horror movies. I am so sick of all the remakes of all the classics like Texas chainsaw, Friday the 13th, Bloody Valentine, Hills have eyes - come on we need more original writers and directors more movies like Hallows Point, Wrong Turn, Hostel.
When this movie is released on DVD check it out turn the lights out, hopefully it will be a stormy night and turn up the surround sound (that was another very good aspect of the film). The sound / music are excellent.
Do your Homework! :-)
