Razortooth (2007)
Old Fashioned B-movie
I didn't expect much when I rented Razortooth, but it is surprisingly good. There is nothing new here, but it stands up to most of the horror and monster movies I see (which is just about everything).
It has an old fashioned feel that is kind of appealing. I have gotten sick of torture porn lately. At first I (like all teens I guess), was interested in seeing the boundaries pushed by movies like SAW and HOSTEL. But it has gotten so so old. I am just not interested in seeing how many new ways a girl (or a guy) can be raped, tortured, and murdered. For me, it is not entertainment.
Razortooth, though obviously low budget, actually has a plot, and characters, some good effect, some great laughs, and a good (funny) ending. It is like a GOOD SyFy movie. I liked that cast, but did not recognize any of them.
One thing I did not like at all is the lead guy playing the harmonica all the time.
Overall: better than most.
Fugitive Hunter (2005)
Very impressive for such a small project.
I viewed this film privately during an acquisitions meeting in Santa Monica. I was somewhat interested in the general premise of this film but wasn't sure of how it would deliver. After a few minutes I realized that this was a gem of a micro-budget film. It follows an engaging story line that gets straight to the point, while not being obvious. The characters are unique. The dialogue is rough, but funny. The overall tone of the film follows more of a 80's action flick. Due to the film's lack of budget there are no special effects, but believe it or not it's not missed. Don't let the budget ($80k) deter you from watching this as the producers of this film stretched every dollar as far they could. The film actually looks like it could have easily cost close to $1 Million.
Overall, this is great piece of film that nobody will probably watch. It's also a great learning tool for those that wish to make films on the dime. I don't know if there's going to be a commentary on the DVD or not, but it would be a good idea. I recommend this film to anyone that enjoys taking a risk on something that they normally wouldn't see.
