Tom Highway This is so unpredictable if you have no idea what the film is about going into it. I didn't bother watching teaser trailers or reading anything on the film prior to viewing. I had a Horror Hangout with Patrick Rea and when he mentioned he Directed this film I immediately had to find a copy and watch it!I don't have any doubt in my mind why this film made it on the Redbox Que; it is simply a great horror film! I love gore as much as the next horror fanatic however you have to give a little when it comes to effects. If it makes more sense to just cut away from significant gore rather than not be able to facilitate the effects in a way that there is realism.More info at Tom H's Blog of Horror!

aaroneslinger Transparancy: I'm local to where this film was shot and I met the director/writer at a local horror con. We hit it off so I picked this up at Redbox to check it out.I really did enjoy this film. It had a lot of charm and the majority of the cast put in solid performances. Some of the more emotional scenes were a little flat which took me out of the trance these movies usually put me in.Effects, pretty good! The few digital shots were pretty convincing!editing - some of the scenes run a little long. they tend to drift when they should be cut. Doing a bit of editing myself I know what it's like to be in love with a shot and to want it to play out. But I think it hurts overall pacing.Some of the ADR was not mixed too well. In the car in particular the dialog was mixed way to high over the ambient car noise. Not a big deal, but again it took me out of the scene.The movie had some humor in it but I think pacing of the editing didn't allow for the right timing.Some called this movie predictable, I didn't think so. I was still surprised at some of the plot twists and generally had a good time watching it with my family.Unlike some of the other assholes on here I just wanted to offer some constructive criticism.I look forward to seeing more of your projects.

johnathan smith I really thought this movie had a chance. Good idea, bad execution. So, the acting was... I just don't have an adverb that adequately describes how bad it was. The supporting actors were especially stiff and unbelievable. There was no chemistry at all between... you know what? Never mind. It was just bad. The youngest sister was unconscious for most of the movie and it was still crappy acting. I didn't even know it was possible to poorly act unconscious. Baby Jesus in heaven! And the whole movie is just "The Hills Have Eyes"/any-werewolf-movie, but in a storm cellar. The "action" sequences were laughable. Wait, you'll like this! I swear to God, there's a part where one sister throws the other sister a gun and the slow-motion catch is an honest-to-God "6 million dollar man" ripoff. But baaaaaaaaaad. Just baaaaaaaaaad.shakes his head and walks away

Craig Edwards I thoroughly enjoyed this aptly named movie. After a slightly slow opening, the movie picks up and pulses with tension. It builds a story, gives us real characters, and features several goosebumps moments - meaning I got them watching it - no reference to any kid stuff horror - this is grown up scary stuff, so buckle up, buttercup! Beautifully shot by Rea's frequent collaborator Hanuman Brown-Eagle, this looks very sharp - from the gorgeous aerial shots that add copious production value through to the intense and artful lighting effects in the basement scenes, this movie looks amazing. The acting is not bad at all, with McGrane and Saricks standing out - which is good as they have the bulk of the dramatics on their plates. The other daughters bring a lot of enthusiasm to their roles, and handle them just fine. The supporting cast is good as well. There's not a lot of humor in the movie, as this is a mostly dark toned feature, but that works, as snarky humor too often gets out of hand in a movie like this. The CGI visual effects are well handled, maximizing the storm scenes without drawing very much attention to the fact that there is CGI going on by staying brief and quickly edited. Even better are the practical effects, with truly wicked looking creatures that take their time showing themselves, but make it worth the wait when they do appear. The film's not a gorefest - but has violent moments that will make you cringe. Every department handles their assigned tasks with talent and aplomb, and it is all marshaled to the screen by the fine direction of Patrick Rea. It is a low budget independent movie, so there are points where the budget is strained, or a performance might hit a rough patch, but once again Rea and his producing partners have worked wonders with the money they had and turned out a feature that I definitely recommend
