I'm beginning to get tired of movies with the same tired script that was used in a lot of other movies. The only thing that changes is the character names. MINDS OF TERROR is a example of what is possible to do something original and different enough with such a low budget. It's very good to know there is people trying to make the difference on the genre.
Really good editing, camera work and some quality acting, specially Randy Allen (who look as a less ugly Michael Berryman) and Joe Estevez. The "farm story" is a great little short feature to this great little horror movie. I was only a bit disappointed because i read a plot summary talking this was a anthology horror movie, something i think this isn't. The other two stories are way too short, even if they feature people like Conrad Brooks (clearly enjoying himself and having fun with the bit part), Eric Spudic and Robyn Griggs.
The plot is complex and a bit hard to follow sometimes, but you can do with MOT what you do with the majority of David Lynch movies. Simply enjoy the imagery, the voyage and, more important, the atmosphere that director Mark Adams printed in almost every frame.
Check out the DVD. The extra features also makes this one different from other low budget horror releases.
