Murdered by a Bad Review

I am here to say amazinggg job! This is 100% a good review, please don't show up at my house.

The immediate shots outside felt tense, then cutting to the family with starkly different sound drew me in.

And then the retribution! The cheese for the cheese. And as soon as I heard the words "mind blown," I was like oh no.

You guys nailed comedy horror! I love a scene that goes on too long. Like an appropriate and funny amount of too long. And the distant beach scene with the far away sound etc.

All your shots and sound supported the story, and it was written and acted well.

Also on a personal note, I make creative content that goes online, and there's always a few comments that just get ya, so watching this was carthartic x)

Honesty Stu and team this is probably the best thing you have ever done in this competition as you had my partner and I absolutely cackling.

A very meta film, but so over the top that it calls to mind glorious straight to VHS classics like KILLING SPREE and WOODCHIPPER MASSACRE, Everything Sticks run with the idea of a film maker with an ego as fragile as eggshells taking revenge on poor reviews of their films.

And they run with this straightforward and to the point. Hard. The performances are committed, the edit is smooth, audio is clean and the film has some fantastic one-liners.

Coverage is great as well serving up a variety of locations that gave the film brightness and buoyancy.

I think for me the one weapon that didn't work quite as effectively as the others was the gun but that's because the more practical hands on weapons allowed the splatter and silly gratuitous violence shine in an enjoyable number 8 wire kind of way.

Look it didn't reinvent the wheel but it was a seriously good time, and the ending was absolutely killer. Big fan of this one.

I love how you made reviews of your last film the central element in this year's film, that was a very funny idea that worked well for the plot, and also made it even more humorous in that you were making fun of yourselves. The ending was brilliant, first the unexpected reverse-murder, which would have been a satisfying enough ending in itself, but then the negative review of the murder gave a surprise second layer of hilarious satisfaction to the ending.
