The 13th Unit (2014)

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

So, I checked this film with some friends.. most agreed that this super low budget horror film was not all that bad, it was simple, straight forward - but a few didn't like it.Somebody made a very good point - if the movie had been a bunch of big Hollywood names in it, it would have been every where. Hollywood releases crap all the time, but it's okay because they are the big boys. The film had potential to be better, but if was far from crap.It's a simple super low budget horror film - maybe more of a thriller. You're locked in a building, this thing is picking people off one by one and nobody knows anything about it. Was better than most typical low budget stuff we watch. It does not try to throw blood all over the place to create gore for action/effects. The actors were okay...some stronger than others. Camera work, music and overall flow was cool. Has different story lines, so was a little all over the place at the beginning but came together when the lights go out. The action picks up and it all connected at the very end - after a few credits - don't know if that worked, especially if people watching turned it off.If YOU are a big budget, Hollywood, CG creature person you will NOI like this film...but if your looking to trying something small and creative you might. Funny, I checked out the one critics review of the film, sounds almost like mine... maybe I need to get paid giving my opinion.

For a horror movie on a low budget... that was more bang for my buck than I expected! The cherry on top was the hints of comedy, so very well placed by the writers and performed by the actors. I relate to it because those storage places are pretty creepy. The music and suspense was well placed. The characters and the storyline was nice. It was a bit cheesy, but that's why its a good movie, they didn't try too hard to make it into some blockbuster. They used the tools they had to the best of their ability it seems. The camera angles gave suspense. The most important part to me was the hints of humor though, it's tough to throw sarcasm into a horror movie i think. They did a good job of it on this one.Anyhow, if you like low budget horror flicks, you'll love this one!

Not a horror flick guy but checked out The 13th Unit after coming across it online. Surprisingly good camera work and acting given my expectations for a low budget film. Story line was cheesy but interesting enough to keep me going. This film gave me some weird dreams after watching it in the dark before going to bed. Probably the reason I don't normally watch horror movies. That and horror films are all cheesy to me. If you need to shut the mind off for a few hours and feel like your somewhere else, check out this flick. Just be forewarned you might want to leave the light on while found so.

I like low budget independent horror films - always looking for the next cult classic. So, I had to watch this movie with my girlfriend because she is deathly scared of going to our storage building alone..she's chicken.The movie is a gritty independent low budget film that is very creative...my girlfriend was scared more than I was, but I was entertained. It drops you inside a storage building with people in there for different reasons. It had a lot of good moments, and I've seen many low budget films that are horrible - this is not the case. Good acting, music, sound effects, NICE twist at end. Worth the rental.
