| ESplatterSteve BiodrowskiThe EL MARIACHI of horror films: a low-budget calling card intended to open doors to Hollywood, allowing for a big-budget sequel-remake down the road. |
| User ReviewJeff BI saw this film at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, Michigan and was blown away by it. Directed by Gregg Bishop, the film opens with recent college graduate Samuel North (Nathan Mobley) getting killed and sent to Hell. He manages to escape from Hell, along with a few others, and is determined to find his fiancée, who disappeared the night he was killed. But people who escape from Hell are hunted down by Reapers, hit men from Hades that must take them back where they belong. Sam and two other fugitives spend the whole time trying to stay "alive" and defeat the reapers. The opening of the film sets the story and the rest of it is action and more action. I loved this movie, it was so clever and original, I didn't care if there were a few plot holes, I had a fun time the whole way through. And being an independent film, I was really impressed with the stunts and special effects. The scenes in Hell were also well done, they looked pretty creepy and set the mood for the rest of the film. The director Gregg Bishop and producer Chad Eikhoff were at the screening and had some nice stories to tell about the making of the film. I'm looking forward to seeing more of their work. Track down this movie, watch it, the tell your friends about it. It really is worth it. |

| User ReviewShep GThe EL MARIACHI of horror films. Almost turned it off due to the super low budget being obvious but hung in there and it is a pretty decent flick. |
| User ReviewRob CGreat b action horror movie. Really love the enthusiasim of this movie on such a small small budget |
| User ReviewK Glove it. for a low budget movie with marginal acting, it's quite original and entertaining. i quite liked it |
| User ReviewSondre LAfter digging the hell out of Mr Bishops most recent offering "Dance of the Dead", I thought considering his talent with a low budget I'd go back a movie and check out this one. Really pleasant surprise to find that once again in spite of budgetary restrictions there a whole slew of imagination on display and a nice twisitng and turning storyline to boot. Mr Bishops got a gift for making the most of what he has, and there's well paced and cut action sequences here that leave big budget hollywood in the dust. Nice to see some familiar, if slightly younger faces from Dance of the Dead, and while there's plenty of Terminator / Frighteners riffs to be found, the real pleasure was the story payoff, Mobley is a very likeable lead, and there's a nice chemistry with his movie girlfriend Jamie Alexander, and while other performances might be less polished, the overall pace and tension is never sacrificed. There was some downright Jacobs ladder-esque visuals going on in the depiction of hell, and everyone who got into the roles of the Reapers, particuarly the esepcially deadly girls, were spot on. Basically this is another film from Bishop that pays homage, but never disresepcts it's genre, if this man keeps putting it all up on the screen like in terms of ideas and budgets, I think comparisons to genre luminaries like Raimi, Romero, Carpenter etc, are not unrealisitic or too far off. Can't wait for the next one, great lo-fi movie. |
