Dread Central - 5/10 by Heather WixsonDark Reel comes so close to being a pretty decent horror flick but its being part ghost story and part slasher flick just end up making it seem like for me that someone filmed two separate movies and wove them together.
User Review - 10/10 by Paul HDark Reel is part horror, part thriller, part comedy and an all around enjoyable experience. In this Giallo-esque film, Ed Furlong of T2 fame plays a down on his luck loser who wins a walk on role alongside the movie star of his dreams played by the amazing Tiffany Shepis. What he doesn't know is that there is a murderer on set who seems to be obsessed with an unsolved 1950's murder case. The Black Dahlia-esque murder of starlet Scarlett May. Every character in this film is distinct and quirky and a whole lot of fun to watch. As much as it is a suspense film it also spoofs the b-horror industry and the ruthlessness of Hollywood. This film is classier than many low budget horror films as exemplified by scenes such as the one where Tony Todd's detective character questions Lance Henriksen in an amazing verbal sword fight. If you are looking for a straight out gore fest with no story or unique characters then this is not your film even though there are some very brutal death scenes. But if you are looking for a great, fun filled ride of a film that never takes itself too seriously then this is for you.
User Review - 10/10 by Paul GHilarious film. I call it a gem, Lance Henriksen is quite a character in this. The acting was comical, the people were fun to watch, the special effects were cheap as hell being digital and all, everyone knows that prop special effects is way better but I won't hold that against this rare treat.
User Review - 10/10 by Steve Oi switched this off after around 20mins thinking it was complete twaddle. i was wrong, this film is great! Where 'what just happened' attempted to satirize the ego-circus surrounding movie-making 'dark reel' scores a direct hit and manages to be both humorous & surreal to boot, whilst also maintaining the horror element in true 'scream' tradition bar the fact that the murders are genuinely shocking as they are quite realistic. All the cast are great, in particular, lance henriksen, who gets all the best lines & has a ball. also tiffany shepis has a new number 1 fan, me! finally the director should get a big shout, as josh eisenstadt has deftly crafted a movie that works well on lots of different levels, reminiscent of david lynch in the lighter moments, i shall definately check out his other films on the basis of this. most enjoyable film i have watched in a long time.
User Review - 8/10 by Tobias LWhat a fantastic film, with a great ensemble cast. Henriksen, Todd, Riffel, Furlong, Walter and my personal favourite (and the reason I watched the film) Tiffany Shepis. This film starts off in the 1950s, where struggling actress Scarlet May being dismembered before the cameras. Fast forward to present day and we see the inner workings of a low budget film studio churning out such classics as Gnome Killer and Snakes on a Crane. But when fan boy Adam Waltz (Furlong) wins a walk on part in the film Pirate Wench. Strange things begin to happen and a masked psycho starts bumping cast members off. What follows is a gore and giggle fest. Red herrings galore keep whose the killer ticking until the end. Jake Grace and Henriksen have the best roles, clearly played for laughs. Shepis even manages to portray some romantic connectivity with Furlong. All in all a solid horror story with plenty of comic moments. Brilliant.
User Review - 6/10 by Miké SI really enjoyed the style of this film. It was very low budget but in a really enjoyable way. My heart goes out to Edward Furlong, highlight of his career peaked when American History X did.
User Review - 6/10 by Amanda LInteresting concept, poorly done. B-Movie, but still fun to watch.
User Review - 6/10 by Steve ZLow budget b movie horror. With lance and tony todd in this i knew what to expect but the acting was terrible. only gave it 3 star cause of the gore and thought the acting was laughable.
User Review - 6/10 by Al MNothing from the banal title would suggest that "Dark Reel" would be worth your time, but this is a surprisingly skillful and well written horror film. There's a great cast and a smart script that is quirky and funny, and the central story is a strong one that continually keeps you guessing. It centers on a low-budget film studio, and the behind the scenes stuff is a lot of fun. Lance Henriksen gives his best performance in years as a Roger Corman-like studio head. It's a part that refreshes his career and hopefully will awaken him from his B-movie funk. Also very good is Edward Furlong who also resurrects his career with a likable performance as a movie geek. His relationship with smart and sexy Tiffany Shepis is a treat, as it's fun watching the fan fall in love with his screen idol. They form a special bond that is the center of the picture, and it's a most unexpected pleasure. The film is focused on the story, which is solid and well told, but this is a horror film and it doesn't spare the blood and gore. A few of the murders are pleasantly memorable. There is maybe one too many twists near the end, including one that hints at Furlong being the killer, and I was glad to see the film not go that route. I liked him and his character too much. He's a down to earth guy who is not unlike myself. Unfortunately, it does go on a little long, especially in the finale, and it has trouble maintaining its pacing. The set-up, however, is a lot of fun mostly because of Henriksen's wonderfully offbeat performance and the uncommonly good script. "Dark Reel" is a film unjustly robbed of a theatrical release as it was better than a lot of the horror films I paid to see this year. It deserves to be seen.
User Review - 4/10 by Shirahz Lw/ Eddie Furlong, who once a cute ?kid? now just creepy. But then again prob. At the drugs too. Plays Adam Waltz a Fan that wins a contest to play a role in a b-grade like movie. I think the blonde girl in this played the ditzy Vampire in Angel/Buffy, ah I?m good It is here. Mercedes McNab who was also in Supernatural, playing what else a vampire. As well as Lance Henriksen playing Connor Pritchett the financer (?) in the 50s an actress is slaughtered in the dailies one of the actors or 2 starts to see the dead actresses spirit. People in the production are being killed off, by some masked ?avenger? Definitely NOT original. However I did like the ?Shakespearean ?dude? for some reason he just amused me, but what was up w/ his onion feasts? Eddie Furlong stunk but just imagining that, is really how things go on set.. Ugh! Esp. that director guy OMG! I?d F?n punch him (either that or make sure I?ve had A LOT of carmelized garlic the night before & REALLY show what I think of the movie.. SKUNKY D
