1.0 out of 5 stars Late Fee, February 20, 2011

This is THE worst movie I have seen for a long time. The short films inside the movie were shot previously in 2003. The director plugged them in to be part of another movie to make a fast buck. The production value is extremely low and the movie was shot in a real video store in New Jersy using a hand-held camera. It is like a free commercial for the store exchanging for s shoot. In this sense, the director-producer never intended to make a decent movie in the first place. Instead, by re-using two old shorts to be part of new movie can lower production costs and make some fast money out of ignorant audience. Since it is part of new releases among all other DVD & blu-ray titles on that particular day (Tuesday) and there are no film reviews for this direct-to-DVD title, they can easily fool the audience for trying it out just based on the title.

It is very unfortunate for a somewhat serious filmaker who did some decent shorts back in 2003 to hail Mary this kind of money making scheme and damage his own reputation for the future if there is one. I know it is hard to sustain a living being an indie filmmaker. But this kind of deperate shot defeats the purpose of his or her past dream of being a serious filmmaker as I speculate. In fact, the 2003 short is not too bad. I can see it as a decent genre effort. But when one tries to rehash old material into a new project in an obvious low production value, its intention becomes questionable.

This was 1.5 hours of my life that I'll never get back, but I don't regret having spent them watching this movie. In short, a couple decides to rent two movies from a local rental store. They find the store to be not your ordinary dreaded Blockbuster, and after talking the reluctant clerk into letting them rent the films, he requires them to sign an extensive contract and advises them that they have until midnight to return the movies, or face severe late fees. What then follows are two movies within a movie (each corresponding to the couple watching their two rented flicks). The first mini movie involves a hooker and a john, with one of them not being what they seem. The second involves a backwoods rogue police officer, jail, some satanic weirdness and a snuff film (trying to avoid a spoiler here...). At the end, the story returns to the rental couple who confront their movie return obligations.

Overall, it was ok, and just ok. It entertained me, but it lacked a compelling something. The story was a neat concept with the rentals turning into movie w/in a movie, but the individual plot concepts were highly predictable and based on very frequently reused topics. The acting was very stunted at times, the camera angles occasionally awkward. I do give them credit for trying to be creative with the camera (a few cool POV shots), but it did feel amateurish at times. Not much music or good mood setting atmospherics. It was a high quality video production though, with good image quality. So in summary, its a worthy rental, but would advise against purchasing without first having seen it.
