Awesome Movie

[sweetie_mol · 9/10 · 7 February 2006]

I saw this movie at a screening a few months ago and I really liked it. Horror movies aren't usually my thing but my friends were going so I saw it. Of course it had all the typical stuff like blood and breasts and gore. It also had the most gruesome scene ever! I almost couldn't look. But it was also an intelligent and original movie with a story that kept me interested until the end. It's the story of Pelle. His brother is missing and he goes down to San Francisco to try and find out what happened to him. It appears that his brother's disappearance might have something to do with a reality show called Public Enemy Number One. A show where people vie for Public Enemy of the year by sending in home made videos of murders. In my opinion, when you see this at a video store near you, it's worth picking up.

Bombs, Blood, Guts & Breasts!!

I had a tough day busting baddies so I was in a desperate need to chill. I came across this film. The title caught my eye. I will investigate anything "Naked."

I was pleasantly surprised. I liked the setting -San Francisco. The subject is timely. All these reality shows. Well this one's a doozy, talk about twisted entertainment.

Does this picture deliver? For an Indie/low budget production... In spades: bombs, blood, guts and breasts!!

The writer/director has an original vision, that's for sure.

Definitely worth checking out.

Full of Twists and Turns!

I was fortunate enough to see the film when it played at the Sunset 5 at midnight. It's played in my mind over the past couple of months. Very strong visual style and lots of amazing sequences.

Overall I really enjoyed the movie although there were moments where it kind of slowed down towards the middle, but really picked up at the 3/4 mark. I was totally surprised and didn't see coming what was going to happen. For being a lower budgeted movie the filmmakers really did a lot! I can't wait to see it on DVD and pick up what I missed the first time.

My favorite part was the segments of the Public Enemy TV show & all the dark humor towards reality television. I wouldn't be surprised that some day we see something like the Public Enemy thing on the boob tube.

A must see!

I watch a lot of movies, and this is one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. The plot has everything to be desired. It delivers big for being a low budget movie. The writer/director is a breath of fresh air to an otherwise stale Hollywood scene. The story is new, and by far better than most of the blockbusters out on the big screen today. If you are looking for something different, then take a chance on this one. I know you'll be impressed. With the movies twists, and turns it will leave you glued to your seat waiting to see what happens next. The director will be around for a long time to come. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

Have you ever gotten so angry sometimes that you could kill someone?

One benefit of low-budget horror films is that there are plenty of strange characters out there that will act for free. This film has those and some gruesome - very gruesome - scenes of murder and mayhem as people compete on a new reality show for Public Enemy #1.

Pelle (writer/director Sean Cain) is looking for his brother Robert (Jim Wright), and, well. that would give it away, wouldn't it.

The main problem from these low-budget films, aside from lack of acting talent, is the reluctance to provide visual stimulation where appropriate. Except for a brief flash in the beginning, there was nothing else worth seeing in this film. Come on, if you are going to title your film Naked beneath the water, lets see something naked!
