The Dead Next Door

For a film that was made on little to no budget at all, this was pretty well done. The acting was okay, the story was decent, the script was average. There were some moments of humor and some scenes of really good low budget gore. I also like the references to other low-budget horror greats like having a couple characters named Raimi & Savini, a Romero shout-out graffitied on a wall and Evil Dead playing the background of one of the scenes.

All in all, I was entertained. By no means, is this a great film, but for the scant budget they were on, it's pretty good.

8mm

I had never seen it. Very weird, very fucked up. I enjoyed it, but it was very slow at the beginning.

7/10

Running Scared- 9/10

Would be 10, but the first few bits were really slow and boring (restaurant, hooker lady, etc) But it got awesome. Paul Walker was great, but I think the wife did the best job, especially that one scene... (porn house)

Highly recommended, however...

Kill Bill look like sesame street? I don't think so!

^ I LOVE Running Scared, and I'm the only one on the forum who agress with that statement. Why? It's referencing the VIOLENCE in each movie - the level of violence. Kill Bill is all crazy over the top with violence, but it's done in a stylistic way. Runing Scared has a good amount of violence and controversial topics, but they are presented in such a way that one has to take it seriously. Kill Bill was fun, this is disturbing.

Crank

Well, that lived up nicely. That was just a fun, mindless fight fiesta! I enjoyed it, thanks roderick and other guy who recommended it. I loved the ending, so random.

7/10

See No Evil

Not horrible but not really a memorable flick.
