Genre fans are understandably excited by this picture, made by a former fan-film director, and put together for about 85 cents. When looked at that way, yes, it is a remarkable achievement. It is a full film, with actual characters, plot and some decent fight scenes and props. In a vacuum, though, it fails to impress. I’m not gonna’ be the bastard to dwell on the negatives, though. Good for this guy for making an indie film that isn’t whiny young people complaining about dating.
