SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Console best movie i've ever seen.

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

jesussaddle This isn't the film you're expecting. It may not be a film you will like. I liked it. I think I liked it because I like to watch movies that don't turn in predictable directions, that have decent unknown actors, and that have a premise or storyline that gets my curiosity. This wasn't great, but definitely better than most low budget films. The director and actors are worthwhile, and the writing was decent as well, and if you have any desire to watch cult movies, you may not be sorry you watched this, so long as you're not expecting a Hollywood budget and scenes and dialog "polished" for an average audience. That's the thing that generally makes movies appear dull to me, whereas an action audience might be thrilled. I enjoy creativity more than pointless pacing. There is pacing in this movie. But the direction opens up and the characters are given time to be distinctive. This is definitely comedic in a dark, satiric way, and I sense that viewers that hated this film would hate Bill Murray's performance in "What about Bob". Some people don't get certain types of comedy. I'm not saying they're below it, but they only wish they were above it.

onnrrolstudint Living very close to where most of B.P.T.H. was filmed, I was very excited to be able to see this at a public screening during the Pensacola Bay Film Festival; I was even more fortunate to see most of the cast and a Q&A with Kevin Wheatley. One of the burning questions was "how did you ever come up with the idea for this?" He actually said that his initial intention had been to adapt Shakespeare's Richard III (believe it or not). Viewing the film afterward, I was able to see that he really made a successful Shakespeare adaptation...a funny, violent, post-apocalyptic Shakespeare adaptation.Another thing that really impressed me was the number of (some might say B-list) celebrities who were featured in various roles, mostly as commentators. Having them pop up at the most random moments definitely added more comedic value to this movie.This is an indie movie in the best way--it's irreverent but watchable; it's different and funny; most importantly, it's entertaining. Some of the effects are a little cheesy or overdone, but that doesn't detract from the value of the final product. Highly recommended to anyone with a chance to see it.

paintingwithlife Starting with the title, this campy, hilarious, New American film is gushing with the zeal of the youthful, hip, and edgy filmmakers. Charting a primordial course towards a new genre, Writer/Director/Lead Kevin Wheatley and his directing collaborator Johnny Gillette, along with co-conspirator Cameron Pierce, have touched on something quite new and fresh. Hearkening back to the multi-format style of some of their predecessors like Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers and Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, the filmmakers lucidly blend time-shifting storytelling with "expert" testimony, hand drawn animation and graphics with live action, and clever writing with strong performances.A first attempt at making a feature film is usually marred with over-acting, technical blunders, and misguided "post-fixes". This film, however, is an overachiever for these first time filmmakers. Their strong storytelling skills shine through in their History Channel-on-mescaline style, and the wait for their next foray has already been too long.{ {d(-_-)b} }

backman-1 Saw the film at the LA Film Festival and had a great time. It's not a Hollywood film, it's very much an independent spirit and as such the story telling is not your traditional formulaic arc. It feels like a historical chronicle of the end of the world and the rebuilding afterwards with sections of narrative dialog.There is a fascinating array of characters and character work presented in the piece.The visual effects are amazing when you consider what is achieved on a micro budget. The filmmakers have taken imagination and creativity over a big budget. I particularly enjoyed the digital effects with the introduction of each character and the use of narration and biography writers to frame the story.I loved it and am looking forward to the next installment.
