Guns of Eden (2022)

Decent Low Budget Movie

[4/10 · 9 March 2023]

The trailer made this movie look really impressive for a low budget film. I watched it and enjoyed it for the most part. But there were a number of gaffs and plot flaws that just seemed like they were forced in for whatever reason. *Spoiler Alert!* a few examples...

-Why split up when you're running from the cops? Doesn't make any sense. Stay together. You're severely outnumbered, so there's no point in splitting up.

• Why did Blake just run at the police? He was so overcome with his girlfriend captured that he decided to run at them and shoot instead of maybe wait and try to sneak in and get to her? Not even use something as cover? I think this was suppose to be emotional. It wasn't.

• There's apparently only one way in or out of the woods. That entrance is a giant clearing where you could see a car from a half mile away. But, they act shocked when they're only maybe 100 feet away?

• The helicopter attacking Gabriela. Then it just gave up? They didn't radio it in? Doing it CGI-less was impressive though.

• Lynn Lowry made her keep her guns outside? Why? If she didn't want them, she could have just taken them instead of leaving them out after she knew the police were chasing her?

• The "Alpha Woman Killer" that came in the end? Were we suppose to say "oh boy! It's getting good!"? She died within seconds hah.

Also, the last little dialog driven scene between Megan and Preacher was too long, not intense, and just needed to end asap.

Although it didn't live up to the trailer, it was still a pretty decent time. I enjoyed watching it.. Megan (lead) and Jeremy other were very good actors who played their roles very well. I would expect to see both of them a lot in the future.

Meh, low budget horror comedy

[2/10 · 15 January 2022]

I think you were supposed to laugh at this movie? It's listed as a horror comedy, but it tries too hard to be campy, witty and funny. Unfortunately it fails on all 3.

Widow's Point (2019)

Eek

[2/10 · 30 November 2020]

I understand that this is a relatively low budget movie, and production values will be limited; but this was pretty bad, all things considered. I was hoping I would like it, because it sounded interesting. Unfortunately, it seems as if this movie was trying too hard to take itself too seriously, with acting that can't be taken seriously at all and it made me turn it off about halfway through. Plot holes, cinematography and less than ideal acting led me to lose interest. Now that this can be watched for free, go right ahead and do so, but I can see why it quickly ended up there.
