This movie should be locked in a vault and never allowed to see daylight ever again. Speaking of daylight... In this movie a good 70% takes place at night, alllthough the director had the Genius idea to do everything as "day-for-night" shots, and as I'm sure you can guess, this never works. It ended up looking like someone tapped blue cling wrap over the camera lens.
as if the camera work wasn't bad enough, he also decided that 90% of the speaking in the move should be redone with voice overs which apparently were recorded in an old solid tile bathroom by a 7 year old.
As for the plot, i really cant discuss it....because there wasn't one...moving on...
The acting was pitiful. I have seen better acting in my sisters 7th grade Shakespeare play's. There was the constant feeling that each actor was reading off of cue cards just out of the scene... As a note to the actors, it really not your fault, and in having a chance to talk to a few of them what i understood the stage direction was something like a kid with downs trying to calculate the terminal velocity of the lunar lander on mars.
my friends and i are still under the impression that this was the directors first movie. The script seemed like it had been rewritten every scene just to include some cheesy iMovie effect. The amount of actually sense vs special fx was 1 to a 100. I left the theater premier feeling like a was just mentally curb-stomped. I was actually surprised that no one had a aneurysm during the premier. Next time i attend (if i ever do) a Rob Roy production I'll want EMT's on location just in case.
Rob went more for quantity rather then quality of effects. They mainly consisted of Microsoft clip-art on a still background with yet another horrible voice-over.
So if you ever have a good 2 hours of time to devote to a mindless waste of humanity, give Rob Roy a call and get ready for the best ab workout of your life.
I give this movie one thumb down. It so bad its funny, this is a perfect candidate for MST3K.
