Movie master's dark fortune "it's to die for" the gate's are open!!!!!

Hey,

I felt it was a pretty weak story.

I liked the scene where the mom comes in, and the shot is through the windshield at the mom trying to calm the daughter. That felt VERY real.

Creepy guy in the mask, this the strangers 2? :)

Ya man, horror is hard to make without it being cheesy. Try doing more "dark" films like Mike Horrigan. I guess you could say there "horror" films, but there more on the dark side, with less cliché storylines.

Keep at it,

Robbie

Arrogant maybe, but quite HILARIOUS.

Such is Movie Master. But his arrogance is earned via the hordes of souls (and embalming fluid) he's swallowed.

Do you call the lion arrogant for roaring? The rooster so for crowing? No. They are simply being a lion and a rooster. MM is simply the best filmmaking demon of his realm.

No no. As fine a filmmaker as M.A.H. is, don't make movies like anyone but yourself. We all strive to make better movies. But you're Movie Master - nuff said.

Here's a quote for your poster or sig should if you like:
"This film was a like dog that licked itself somewhere private then licked me directly on the face." Definitely an experience, perhaps unexplainable at its core, but one I can't help but admit liking somewhere deep down.

Great job as always.

I was just recommending him Jack, to try something else, less horror, more dark. A dark drama would've beaten this for sure, by Movie Master to.

Was that quote for me or him? hahaha.

I know you were recommending him, and I think it's bad advice to try to "be like" any other filmmaker rather than to learn the vocabulary of film and become more and more adept at it in order to better express your own voice.

The quote was for MM. Haven't seen your movie yet, but from what I've heard the quote would readily apply to you as well. No idea what that means but whatever it means, I'm just kidding. :)

Agreed.

MM.... you are the king of B style horror movies, don't change. Just learn and master your craft. Wait? You're already the Movie Master?? :)

I feel like I just stepped in a time machine every time that I watch one of your movies. That in itself is a great feat!

Robbie, I really appreciate the compliment and understand what you were trying to say.
Thanks. :thumbup:

Well I dug the story and it was pretty dark. I think we should all make movies that make us happy as individuals and not worry what everyone else thinks. OF course when submitting to festivals and competitions be prepared to hear the gambit of comments.
 
THANKS GUYS

tO ALL THOSE THAT ASK WHY? WHY WAS THE DAUGHTER AFRAID WHEN HER AND THE DAD HAD A PLAN, WELL EVIDENCE BABY! WHEN THE COPS SHOW UP THEY WOULD FIND A BODY A VICTIMIZED GIRL WITH ROPE MARKS SEE THE CHAIR THE PRINTS THE ROPE AND REALIZE SOMEONE BROKE IN AND NEVER BLAME THE DAUGHTER!

ingenious. Slipped right past me. I knew there was a reason you were the movie master.... besides that whole eating souls and such.
 
So cool that Mr. I made a cameo in your movie!

Your work is always entertaining. Look forward to your next creation. :beer:
 
Loved it. I totally get it that the daughter got "into" the role in order to protect herself. When she gets interrogated by the police she'll need to have a story that is believable and consistent. How better than to act out the incident so that she can respond convincingly and consistently to questioning?

A really nice job MM. Your stuff keeps getting better and better.
 
I found the handheld shaky and distracting. Also thought there was a missed edit near the end, continuity didn't seem right. Car shots were just too dark.
 
Lived up to it's name. Dark. I really had to strain to see detail.

Little 'Blair Witch' with the hand held but liked the shadow effects and the menacing character POV up the stairs.

No surprises, but enjoyed the suspense. Nice job on the bad dude.

Overall it felt 'inspired by' B-movie teen slasher flicks, and I never really saw the twilight hook.

Some nice painterly effects with light.

Hey,

Just caught the flick. I liked what you tried to do in this. The camera work was fine and while there was a bit too much screaming/moaning in fear, I thought the panic of the piece came off well.
Unfortunately it didn't entirely sell me. There just seemed to be too many holes in this one for me really get into it. The ending was shocking not because of the twist but because the girl comes of as just plain mean because I didn't think her (mother?) deserved what she got. At all. Which might have been what you were going for? I'm not sure, but it seemed harsh.
And I just can't wrap my mind around the idea of the girl being THAT panicstriken about someone she knows it not going to kill her. It just strikes be as incredibly odd.
The killer's mask is very creepy but alas, a little overdone, I think (I kept thinking of all the other bag-headed killer movies I'd seen.)

But a good effort and thanks for sharing. Hope my comments help. Can't wait to see your other one.

Keep them coming.
 
I definitely liked it, I gotta say the screaming got a little annoying (too much) but definitely added to the story, When the girl ran up the stairs though in order to keep the viewer convinced that it was real I would have had her bust outta the door or at least run out....it seemed like she got to the top and then walked out?
 
Slasher slasher in the night
Hiding from the blinding light
Black and red and red and red
Good night slasher now they're dead.

Great flick. I would like to see the warm colors cooled way down and desaturated a bit. This would really give it a creepier feel. Maybe even black and white.

Movie Master, you definitely have the knack. Keep up the good work!
