It was what was told to us, it was told believably. She was shown to be a weird dead succubus thing for a while, so why not? Even after we knew what was going on, I still believed it. The acting was good enough to show that love. I never saw the fat or ugly nature of him that you seem to, and I never cared one iota about anything like that. He was just a dude, just like any other dude. What's the problem? Because all I see is you bitching about very small visuals pieces of a good movie.<br /><br />Insulting my review is one thing, but don't insult everybody who enjoys this film as well here in my comments. It's fine if you disagree with all of us, I'm all for healthy debate, but insulting us undermines your arguments more than paperthin comments and justifications did. The movie struck a chord with me, and did the same to many others. We can enjoy what we enjoy. If you don't, fine, just don't be a jerk about it please, you know, since you were.Saquarry (Justin Miller)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471321677204879148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6806500828781561546.post-58540091617921552232013-05-28T23:23:08.689-04:002013-05-28T23:23:08.689-04:00Well, Anon, I would say that you and I clearly dis...Well, Anon, I would say that you and I clearly disagree about the quality of this movie and probably about movies in general. We also have very different feelings on what courtesy and niceties are, but...<br /><br />Where you see no credible set in a disused railroad track, I see a perfect set. It worked for me, being one of the highlights of the viewing experience in my opinion. I thought it was a credible set, actually being on location rather than in a studio. Obviously, some don't like that, but I found it authentic and kind of gorgeous. It gave the film a brilliant and real feeling in the end. Plus, as far as I remember, at least some of those railroad tracks are actually used in real life. As I said before, I live pretty close to some of the filming locations, so I think I'd have a pretty good idea about that. So, as far as disused, they actually are probably still in use. And it still worked to me at least, and to others obviously as well.<br /><br />I doubt it was filmed in a single day since there were many locations shot. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I believe A. D. Calvo usually shoots over a decent sized period, although I'm just using the evidence I know about from some of his other movie shoots I've heard about. I never had that same feeling of it being rushed. To me it seemed like a very passionate project. Some of the actors were better than others and the lesbians did feel gratuitous, which I mentioned in the review, but I liked the movie for the most part in terms of both writing and acting. The writing does have some good and some bad moments, but in general it was pretty decent with the story being slightly better than the dialogue in general. The characters really worked, especially the three leads. Watching it more than once, which I have done, I felt like the acting was purposefully stilted at times, and it worked against our expectations, really becoming something well done and different. While the quality is not always there, I think some slack can be cut here for a relatively unknown independent filmmaker and a passion project that probably isn't getting anybody rich. Then again, I guess that's not exactly your thing, is it?<br /><br />I personally liked the directing, editing, pacing, and production. I don't see the problems you seem to. Then again, I wrote out a long review saying why I liked it. And I'd write up more with more specifics saying why I continue to enjoy this movie even years after I first saw it if I were asked to do so. I don't know your specifics, and random hating doesn't really appeal to me.<br /><br />And as for your only question, why not? Women who are perceived to be attractive end up with unattractive men all the time and vice-versa. Watch a sitcom sometimes. Or just look around at the mall the next time you go. Just because you don't see him as attractive doesn't mean he doesn't have more underneath the surface. People don't just fall in love because of what another person looks like. Then again your visual estimations of the film as well as your comments in your question has backed you into a very shallow corner. You seem judgmental and overly harsh over very little things, tacking the visuals as the most important aspect of the film. Oh no, the lead actor isn't your perception of Hollywood attractive! That must ruin the entirety of the experience for you! Well, I get the feeling you have no idea how attraction can even work or why it does. Why would I even expect more?<br />Saquarry (Justin Miller)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471321677204879148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6806500828781561546.post-6595807853454114862013-05-28T09:30:31.464-04:002013-05-28T09:30:31.464-04:00The location was a plainly disused railway track w...The location was a plainly disused railway track where no effort had been made to prepare it into a credible setting. Just a coating of engine on the tracks, half an hours weeding and spade work to remove the windblown dirt from the sleepers so it didnt look like what it was, a disused sawmills narrow gauge. <br />The writing was not the best, the direction undid the actors best efforts and it was boring.<br />I got the feeling this was filmed in a single day and the attractive lesbians added later as an attempted distraction from what a really poor bit of direction, production management and editing had taken place.<br />The main character wore baggy clothes to try disguising how out of shape he is, so we are expected to believe that the gorgeous Emily is smitten by a permanently miserable back woods short order chef who is his own best customer?<br /><br />If you lot are giving this rave ratings then I suggest you take smelling salts with you when you watch fresher year film students efforts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6806500828781561546.post-5963640839461474642013-05-03T17:30:41.197-04:002013-05-03T17:30:41.197-04:00Nah, it's not horror at all really.
