This Is Really A Good Movie!!!

[poor_greedo · 10/10 · 20 February 2008]

This movie is good. I was just browsing around Amazon.com and I stumbled across this movie. Wow! I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was really good. This movie rocks with sex, drugs, violence and great dialog. Basically this movie is about a guy who was teased as a kid and comes back with a vengeance to seek revenge on his tormentors. There are no really good or bad characters in the movie - they are all well-thought out and very realistic. The cinematography by Aswad Issa is fabulous. I never heard of director Sean Weathers prior to this, but he's part of some independent film company called Full Circle Filmworks that operates out of Brooklyn. I have to say that anyone who can do so much on such a limited budget is a true master film maker.

B movie with art house look

[westcasting · 10/10 · 17 April 2008]

I'm a girl and that being said I don't think I am the target audience for director Sean Weathers movies (at least not this one) but, I do have a boyfriend that loves his movies and thinks that Sean Weathers is the greatest director this side of Stanley Kubrick and maybe he will be at some point, so far so good. If you are a guy you'll love this movie cause it has a lot of sex, nudity, violence and some campy dialogue. However instead of just stopping there which he could have, Sean Weathers gives this movie a very artistic and art house feel, there are different color schemes used from scene to scene, split screen scenes, juxtaposition scenes, character point of view shots, perfectly timed hand-held shots, and in-between all the crazy stuff going on, a lot of time is given to develop and make you actually care about the characters which I found myself doing, one of the girls in the movie, Anna, even deals with boulimia something that I have suffered from in the past as well and the scenes with that character is given plenty of time and very well done. Thumbs up Sean Weathers this is a great movie.

I unique reinventing of the slasher flick with more sex and less gore

[shinobi_10 · 10/10 · 16 April 2008]

This movie has the feel of an exciting paper back murder mystery. First off it tells it's story in a unique way in that it is both episodic and non-linear which seems like it may be overkill and hard to follow, but it's really not since the plot is quite simple and the movie is more about character analysis than anything else. The movie is based around 5 girls and a psycho from the past who wants revenge and kills them off one by one. A very cliché and standard story line for this genre except the killer and the killings come off as almost an after thought, it's there just to be the glue that holds the movie together, I like what the director (Sean Weathers) does with this movie in presenting something you've seen before from a different point of view. Highlights of the movie include a very funny split screen phone conversation, an avant-garde death scene and what is easily the best love scene I've ever seen in a movie! Ever! This movie really under the category of a giallo and is a must see for any fans of Dario Argento or Mario Bava
