2010 Horror Fest: Someones Knocking At My Door: 65 Out Of 100 Stars

This low budget movie bills itself as a "total mind fuck" and I personally can't disagree with some of the innovative ways they make use of sound and editing to draw the viewer in, but at the same time I think a lot of people may just get irritated. But this is my review, not theirs.

The main problems with the film are the usual ones among low budget movies like this. It's supposed to be the story of a group of medical students, but you never feel like they're really medical students. A good portion of the cast is also pretty low rent, including a black stutterer who really has no place in the film yet uses up multiple scenes just wasting screen time in the place of anything interesting. The male and female leads however are solid enough, and the story is a fun enough premise that doesn't get run into the ground thanks to the aforementioned audio and visual tricks the makers pull.

There's a lot here to like, and I'd love to see these guys work with a bigger budget because I think their style is pretty innovative.

If being raped to death and mind fucked are your cup of tea, then answer your door and watch this baby.
