The Landlord (I) (2009)
7/10
A Cheezy bag of indy fun!
22 May 2019
I got a copy of this film from either the director or someone in the crew. 10$ for a factory DVD or if I paid 20$ I also got a homebrew Blu-Ray with it. Frankly so many people want to make a movie, but many die of "Natural Causes".

The best sales pitch I heard was from the seller who said to me "I Made this with 50 of my closest friends". It was enough for me to support the craft and schell out 20 bucks. I gave the DVD to a pal and opted to watch the burned Blu-Ray.

So what did I think? It was cheezy as I expected, with a flair of "I just spent 3 years in film school and need to make sure every scene follows the "WALLDO" method, the makeup is awful and some of the acting is downright amateurish.

But who cares? If 50 friends got together to help someone make a monster movie, that's 50 people who all got to sit down at a premiere in a hall or home and had a good time. If I can be a part of that, cool.

If you want to know what it is about, see it. A few years after it was made, South Park did a shockingly close story which explains that Kenny keeps coming back to life because his parents attended a cult meeting for free beer. That is kind of the background story of this movie, however the consequences of the satanic ritual result in an apartment being cursed with a goofy demon. Despite the cheezy makeup, I love the demon. I have not rewatched the movie in several years, but I still think fondly of that stupid demon!

If you can find it, check it out, but remember . . . It is a project of fun and fellowship, not necessarily art.
