4.0 out of 5 stars Great little horror film, January 23, 2012

By

snclfe "media snob" (LA,CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Donner Pass (DVD)

Donner Pass is a great little horror film with a nice amount of reverence for the genre. While not as gonzo as his films can be, I would liken it to a Rob Zombie film where you can sense the excitement and love for the genre in tiny details. The film has a little bit of everything, and although I wouldn't usually consider that a good thing, here it's done so well that it comes together nicely. It starts with a historical perspective of the setting's notorious past. It then jumps to present day and slowly, smartly builds tension subtly revealing more and more things that just aren't right. It then busts wide open delivering a lot of gruesome gore and also delivers a nod to the rape/revenge sub-genre. The end, I don't want to give away but it delivers a smart, unique explanation of what has transpired. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars well done for a small budget indie film, January 25, 2012

By

hillbilly carol "leslie" (Branson, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Donner Pass (DVD)

I watched this movie when it was on Constellation.tv. It may have been a little slow building up the character profiles but once the killing started it was edge of your seat experience. I enjoyed the perspective from some of the camera angles & lighting and I really liked the fact that it was not too gory as some films now seem to rely on blood spewing everywhere to carry the film. The special effects on what gore was in the movie was well done. There were some unexpected scenes that made me jump cause I didn't see it coming and that is why I watch horror movies. I will purchase this video for my collection of "you're gonna regret going in there" movies.

This was surprisingly goood. Excellent twist in the tale, great camera work, score and

directing. It's rare that low(ish)budget horror flicks are this good.
