Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

TdSmth5 In the intro we see some Latin guy get killed by some Spanish-speaking something. We learn that a percentage of homeless in Los Angeles somehow live in storage units.A homeless guy with mental issues, named Gabriel, living in his car receives a key from his brother. His parents wanted him to have it. It's a key to a storage unit. At the storage facility he meets the mean boss who warns him that any violation of the regulations will get his property seized. Also there is the cute attendant who likes him.Earlier we met a homeless couple that lives there. The girl is pregnant. Suddenly a creepy lady appears who kills the guy and keeps the girl in a cage and is very interested in the baby.We meet some of the other tenants. An old mute guy who writes on a typewriter. Two hookers. A young kid and his hot mother (the lovely Vida Guerra who unfortunately gets little screen time).Gabriel finds a chest in his unit and some junk. The chest is locked. When he finally opens it there's a folder with old newspaper clippings about a missing woman and a child.The creature lady appears a couple of times and the tenants sort of know about her. She pushes her long black nails into people's heads and that's when we see some flashbacks.Turns out she was a girl somewhere in Latin America eager to make it to the US, so she hires some lady to do some witchcraft/santeria so she'll find a man to take her to America. And she does. But this guy is violent and nasty and kills her at some point while she is in advanced stages of her pregnancy. Actually the guy is the old guy with the typewriter.So Gabriel and survivors will have to confront the creature as we learn more about this woman and about Gabriel's identity.A horror movie about the homeless sure is uncommon. The question is whether that's something you'll want to see. But then again this movie isn't about the homeless you'll run into in LA, but rather a fairly young and attractive bunch. Problem is setting a movie in a storage facility is rather limiting and also not appealing. The movie does look very good though. There are problems with the audio, often sound effects get in the way of understanding what is being said. But as often happens with movies these day, not a lot is said. There's very little dialogue and so you can't really care about any of the characters. Gabriel makes a weak lead. That's a common problem with characters with mental problems. Things improve when the lovely attendant and her hot friend are on screen. The background story of the villain is pretty good, that's what this movie should have focused more rather than on the various storage facility tenants.They tried to do something different here but could have done more.

Claudio Carvalho "Blood Shed" is a low-budget movie with a story inside a self-storage facility that does not make any sense. The lead character is Gabriel, an epileptic young man that uses drugs for seizure and is living in his car. His stepbrother sends the key of a container in a self-storage facility in Los Angeles and tells that he might find the truth about his biological parents inside the container. Gabriel, who is dirty, unattractive, rude, homeless and penniless, meets the janitress Samira in the facility and she falls in love with him (love is beautiful, isn't it?). Meanwhile there is a deranged ghost hunting down the homeless people that spend the night in the storage. This is the first time that I see a crazy ghost. The plot point is that the ghost is Jezebel, who is Gabriel's mother. In the end, awful is not enough to rate this movie. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "A Chave do inferno" ("The Key from Hell")

rushknight What we have here is what I like to call a "null-point film". Now typically when you go out to watch a film, or head to the store to rent one, you have something in mind for what you would like to see. If you rent a drama, you are probably looking for good acting mixed with touching real life scenarios. If you are looking for horror, you are probably hoping to see scary monsters and frightening circumstances.If you decide to watch ANY sort of movie in the horror genre with the word "blood" in the title, you are most likely expecting to see some gore.Surprisingly, this movie offers non of that. This is why I call it a null-point film. Everything I was expecting to see didn't happen. Oh sure lots of people died.. and each one of them died completely off-screen, with the killing blow happening off-camera. You hear bloody ripping noises and screaming, but see nothing. The special effects were limited entirely to red contact lenses and fake blood with something mixed in to look like intestines.I am normally a proponent of not overdoing your special effects. The rampant CGI in movies today is annoying at best and it's always good to see amateur film artists looking to avoid that sort of thing. However, in this film the creators got excessively conservative.Why would you make a slasher film with no slashing in it? Because honestly the plot, acting and atmosphere add next to nothing to the movie; slashing was really all that was left. It was the point, and for some reason it was avoided almost entirely.Hence, a non-movie.

Flow Now, as it may not look like much, it's far from the worst thing out there. Blood Shed actually kept me in front of the screen, waiting to see what happens next. The cover fooled me to be honest, cause whenever I see something like it, usually turns out to be a really bad low budged movie, mostly with zombies. So, this is the worst thing the film had to offer, the cover!The characters were all nice, not too many, not too few, but just right. The main chick, is as hot as they get, not a botox filled blonde, but a nice redheaded rock duddette, who made the view so much more pleasant. The others fill in nice the plot, the character depth, the killings and suspense. It won't be too hard to figure it out, but somehow, it just manages to succeed as a horror. This is the kind of horror you wanna make on a low budget, if you plan on getting noticed and getting involved in future more complex projects. It's good for a lazy afternoon, for a already too bored night, or to pass some innocent time. Got to tell you, went in with no expectations, managed to make an impression on me. Not top notch of course, but a good B horror!Cheers!
