Last night as I was settling down for my Father’s Day movie,
I decided that I wanted to venture into the world of true independence. Yes,
something from Troma, as their flicks (no matter how bad) always seem to have
something interesting in them. My selection for the evening was Kill from 2011
Plot/ Six strangers awake to find themselves the new tenants
of a mysterious old house. Terrorized by insane Tiki-men in masks and taunted
by their deranged captors,it soon becomes clear that only one singular action
will save them: Kill.
I really love Troma and the true independent cinema that
they produce. Of course, with that true no-budget independence, there are many
facets of their films that need to be overlooked when reviewing them like
sound, special effects and cinematography quality. Ironically, this film
actually had some positives in these areas with solid sound, decent cinematography
and good effects. Unfortunately, with
this one, a poor script that keeps the dialogue stuck in neutral takes down the
unique storyline. Couple that with the typical uneven and uncomfortable acting
and it makes it a hard feature to watch. In the end, even with the solid
effects, grisly moments and a decent ending, this was a struggle to watch
(although, it is much better than Poe, which I suffered through this weekend). However, if like me you love true independent cinema,
you may want to watch for the Tiki-Men and ending, they are pretty good.
