Reviews

bowmanblue I write a lot of reviews on films and, normally, try to find something positive to say about a movie. No matter how bad it is, there's at least a couple of good points. In fact, I hate people who say things like 'Worst movie ever!!!!' (note the annoyingly large amount of exclamations marks).Well, this definitely isn't the worst movie ever (in my opinion 'Seed' takes that particular accolade), but it is at least definitely in the bottom of the barrel.My hopes weren't high from the beginning. I think Hollywood should be forced to stamp a great big warning sign on any film which is actually 'found footage.' This emerging genre is certainly cheap to produce. Minimal actors and special effects are required and I daresay the editing doesn't take too long either.Reality Kills is, sadly, one of these 'found footage films. It's constructed like a documentary about people who were murdered in a house... or something. In fact, as soon as I realised it was found footage, I kind of lost interest. This review is only based on the first hour. I couldn't take any more. Cliché after cliché reared its ugly head. From the couple killed while having sex, to the shaky camera-work and killers who run in and run out of frame so quickly, you can barely tell what it was.This isn't the worst movie ever made, but there are plenty of these types of horror films out there and they, at best, only become average - the kind of movie you watch to kill time and forget about afterwards. Sadly, this one isn't even that good. It's just one you need to avoid. Even if you're a massive fan of found footage films, this one doesn't make the grade.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
manjodude Saw this movie last night on Youtube. And as you probably presumed, this is indeed one of those low on spooks, a bit high on nudity and a lot on stupidity flicks!.The premise looked interesting initially with seven contestants vying to be the winner of a Big Boss like reality show, but here there's even the director & his camera crew intruding to get exclusive clips for the TV audience! From there, it goes all downhill with negligible focus on the plot and more of a nutty killer on the loose who ticks off the contestants & the crew one by one and takes a video of it too. Even so, I liked some of the murders that happen which were shot in a suspenseful, "Scream" style fashion. But the final moments messed all the nicely done horror or whatever before it. The killer really behaved dumb as in D U M B! And an end which left me muttering, "What the....!".But the performances were a surprise with a lot of them showing an earnest effort. Courtney Peldon(as one of the contestants Charlotte), Sticky Fingaz(has lots of potential, was bit disappointing to see in this muck) as Brock the director and Kristen Miller(a surprise package, with impressive expressions) as one of the crew are some of those that stood out.Verdict: Alas, B acting + C story = still a C or a D movie :>
Claudio Carvalho Four young women – Serendipity, Mei-Ling, Charlolette and Isabel, and three young men – Gar, Swope and Crash, totally strangers to each other, are sent to an isolated house with the crew members of a reality show leaded by the Afro-American Brock to stay living together for three months without any means of communication with the exterior, and in the end, the winner will get a prize of US$ 100,000.00. When the SM cameraman Eugene is found dead in a barn, the group becomes hysterical, since nobody knows who is trustful. "Reality Check" is a bad movie in all aspects. The characters are not well developed and their behaviors are completely illogical. When the serial killer is disclosed, there is no explanation of the motives for such behavior other than being a deranged person. The performances are hysterical and boring. The edition is horrible and the image is too much dark, needing the change of the bright of the TV. The story has no originality, and it is another one about a sort of "Big Brother" show. Watching this movie is indeed a pure waste of time. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "O Jogo das Sete Mortes" ("The Game of the Seven Deaths")
