Michael Winslow?
BandSAboutMovies16 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
You know, I watch a lot of new streaming horror movies, but when you tell me, "Michael Winslow is in this," you know that I'll put your film on top of the digital stack.

Todd is the story of, well, Todd, (Hans Hernke, who we just saw in Nest of Vampires), a young man who has never fit in. The pain of this has led to him to go from a sad person to a dangerous one who has left society behind. Now, he's stalking a young actress, as well as his psychiatrist. Man, Todd needed a friend and now he's just out to kill.

You Have to laugh
joeydancer-0404314 February 2022
Oh, my. This was one of those movies that you wonder how it was ever made. Believe me...I get that all movies can't be A-list or B-list or even C-list. And I support indie films 100%. Some of my favorite movies are indie flicks made on a shoestring budget. But I'm afraid this was made in a way where nothing really seemed to work: acting, writing, dialogue, cinematography, story line, etc. Even the music seems ill-timed and out of place.

I also understand the idea of acting and creating for the love of doing it but if you get to a certain age and you haven't hit some level of success, maybe stick to community theater and YouTube?

Oh my, really?
phonzmusik24 March 2021
Possibly one of the worst movies I have ever seen, I knew it was bad in the first 5 minutes but I watched it all just to see how bad it truly was.There were at least 2 lines spoken in the movie that were repeated up to 3 times (a conversation in the diner towards the end for example), it was just so surprisingly bad... The best part of the movie was from 1:16.10 to 1:16.33 at best, also the music was good... or at least I can say not much different than what you might hear in other movies that aren't bad. The best actor in the movie is obviously Michael Winslow but oh my, what have you done to yourself Michael being in this production!? I'm really not sure how on earth this movie has generated a rating of 5.7/10

Regrettably giving 2 stars as I should give it only 1 to bring the rating down... 1 for Michale Winslow and 1 for the music.

A fake horror film
f_jones21 October 2022
Todd not a cohesive movie by even the kindest stretch. Todd is not Drama, Mystery, Thriller, and it's certainly not a horror movie, despite the horror-movie-esque poster art. Todd is a master class in too many cooks and not a single workable idea. I would have rather seen 3 short character studies (with script doctoring and plot work). I didn't so here we are.

Todd (2021) is unrated but I would rate it PG-13 for swears, brief and pointless sexytimes, implied violence, and random pill taking. It's also a very painful 91 minutes, so I've done all I can. And after the movie pops off its "climactic" ending, the movie continues ANOTHER 15 MINUTES reflecting on how this maniac changed all of their lives for the better.

Boring and hard to enjoy
lhutcherson124 December 2021
The movie was a real chore to watch. Most of it is extremely boring. The pace is too slow. It has almost no excitement at all. Laura Stetman was the only standout, otherwise it was not really worthwhile at all.

Why
zack_gideon11 February 2022
Why make this thing? It's so freaking bad. Like literally everything sucks. The acting, directing, plot, dialogue, structure, everything. It's so so so bad. Was it meant to be funny? I hope so, but if you're going to make a bad movie go the birdemic route. At least that one is funny. This is just a waste of time, money and energy. Trash! Avoid at all costs.

Todd Really
jamielynn-4113214 February 2022
Todd is a very strange person. What hit home with me is I see people like this all the time. Mental illness is all over the world so with me saying that I think the movie hit a home run tackling this very issue.

Better than expected after the silly reviews read
mdc017575 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Todd started slow and had little background to the characters making the story line less prominent until the last 5 minutes , where the movie theme was explained . The acting was pretty good by all and the filming was suspenseful, with one gore scene that was quick . Michael Winslow was just in 2 scenes as the Bartender giving advice and slipped in a couple of his sound bites he is known for ( from Police Academy movies )

Spoilers :

The story was about a patient named Todd being prescribed numerous meds by a Doctor who is also having issues with his marriage and dealing with a teenage daughter. The second storyline was a waitress that Todd bumbed into and he became enthralled with her. Her storyline was wanting to go to California to become a an Actress. Todd becomes obsessed with her ( Amy ) and breaks into her apt to watch her shower and then leaves. He eventually waits for her and in a tense scene , he pulls out a gun and forces her to dance with him in a special dress he picked out. He leaves her a love note after running out and she fails to call the Police as she believes he is " harmless " to others even with a gun. He then blames the Doctor for his depression and goes to kill the Doctor in front of his family. Again, he breaks down and leaves but goes home and shoots himself in the head.

Then the film ends it's final scenes with the waitress leaving for California ( inspired by Todd ) and the Doctor keeping Todd's ashes in his office as a reminder to love his family. And do a better job understanding his patients.

Was this a good movie? Not really, but the end result leaves you wondering about all those on medications causing more harm than good I gave it an 8 for the acting , the gratuitous breasts in shower lol and the storyline making sense at the end.

Todd review
amelia-williamson8 September 2022
Wow what a cast! Great film we've got going on here, with loads of thrills and chills that will make your spine crawl in the best way possible. Hans Hernke is perfect as the classic lonely serial killer Todd. Kind've got a Dexter thing going on here. This is a film I would watch reputedly and like clockwork is never fails to bring drama every 10 minutes. This is not a film to miss as you'll be left wanting more due to great characters and their performances by such a great group of actors. A sequel could be arranged for this thriller? I'm not sure I aint a filmmaker but I do know that this film is excellent.

billybond-3417414 February 2022
A nicely done film with solid, moving performances by the entire cast! Excellent cinematography, sound, and musical score. A good job by the film's director, steering the story's wheel, keeping that dramatic edge moving along at a steady pace throughout. Well done!

Homerun
traviscecil28 January 2022
Captivating performance from Hans Hurnke who plays Todd in this drama! Accurately depicts the the unstable mind in a wild story of Todd. The film is well laid out with twists and turns from all characters involved. Sit back and try to relax as this movie will have you questioning what Todd will do next.

Mental illness
buddybar-7305014 February 2022
Todd hit home with me for having mental illness this was the type of film I needed to see. Yes is was very low budget but I didn't watch it for that. I watched it for the message the movie did so well.

Was great!
filmguy-7992128 January 2022
Thought the director took time on development of the story, and brought the story to light well. And on the budget that they had did a great job for a independent film. I thought the sound production was really well done!

Todd is odd, check it out!
ActorHans223@aol.com3 April 2021
Check out "Todd" on Amazon Prime via Bayview Entertainment! A lot of work went into this movie and it shows. Find out why Todd is the odd man out, and how his behavior affects everyone else around him! The budding madman is someone you don't want to cross! Worth a watch!

Tragedy with a purpose.
zepessj28 January 2022
This was a classic psychological thriller.

What's fascinating is how the main character, Todd, essentially sacrifices himself for the people around him, inspiring them to change for the better.

Todd's life becomes a tragedy with a purpose.

Great working on Todd
sfnproductionsllc28 January 2022
Growing up in the 80s I had Fascination for these types of films. Like a lot of people my age growing up with Troma films and Kevin Smith. It's always fun to see a film like this come out who does it for the love of a movie even the art. I will say a film like Todd isn't for every person. But for the ones that get it I applaud you. When it comes to mental illness in the everyday struggles of life you find this movie hit a home-run even if it reaches just one person and changes their life it's all for the better and the love of Cinema.

lexem-9152414 February 2022
Ok so last night after the Superbowl I seen a ad for tubi I logged in to find this film called Todd. Not really the movie I would spend money on but for free what the hell. Took about 30mins to hook me but damn Todd is so misunderstood. Go out and watch today.

Solid tragic story with great overall performances
markcantu329416 February 2022
Todd is definitely a tragedy. I appreciated the overall message of the film, and Hans is wonderfully perfect. I would recommend to anyone who has battled mental illness.
