Try it, You'll like it., March 10, 2007
This review is from: Marcus (DVD)
This is a movie worth watching styled after the old Hitchcock thrillers with irony and twists. It's a Christmas gathering of family and friends who have more on their minds than making merry. Each is so involved in his own selfish and hidden agenda that tensions peak dramatically. The only one in complete control is the unexpected guest, Marcus, who captivates all with his alarming demeanor. As the drama unfolds and hidden secrets are revealed, each character is caught up in a rush of emotions accentuated by the whereabouts of missing Brooke. Marcus himself, however, has his own hidden agenda leading to the movie's dramatic conclusion. This low budget suspense thriller compiled by basically a crew of starving artists is an explosive thriller that you must see.

Worth A look!, March 13, 2007
This review is from: Marcus (DVD)
This film is a throwback to the old school classic films of the 1950's and 1960's. Highly influenced by Hitchcock and Polanski, the film starts off slow building tension amongst it's extremely flawed characters but erupts with disturbing violence and terror in the final act. Definitely a film worth watching for those who enjoy classic films.

A HIDDEN DIAMOND, March 24, 2007
This review is from: Marcus (DVD)
This is my type of movie; low budget, unknown actors, character driven, limited murder -vs- everybody being slashed in every other scene. This movie was about each chracter being pulled together by the mystery of Brooke's abscence: Brooke, who everybody knows and Marcus' dominance of the household: Marcus, who nobody knows or likes. Each character brings their baggage which boils over at the end. The story is great. Movies like this and actors like these should be walking the "Red Carpet" and winning Oscars. The acting was superb and very believable. I picked this little diamnond up at Wal-Mart because of the right up on the back,and because I am a slasher flick addict. This turned out to be way more than a slasher flick. This turned out to be a great sit-down, can't-miss a minute of it movie. I would recommend it to anyone. By the way did anyone else wonder why no one had to use the bathroom? Who takes their bleeding nose to the kitchen ,instead of the bathroom? Nonetheless, great, great movie.
