Skull Forest (2012)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

First of all, better sound editing would have improved certain scenes greatly. touches like proper ballroom music with reverb that matches the room ambiance is an easy one.Sound transitions from scene to scene will reduce the "jarring" effect for the viewer and give a natural feel instead of distracting from story.The weird wobbly camera angles in the beginning are just annoying. Just stop doing that. ugh.Delivery of the dialogue is relatively strong, but some of the actors need to beware of the "sing-song" delivery they fall into easily. The words are supposed to MEAN something to the character, that's doesn't happen when it's sounds like 12 year olds at the mall. Again, this was only occasional. The ladies in this were capable and did a fine job.quick tech flaw: The camera shots playfully taken at the creek needed to have the CAMERA LENS OPEN on the camera she's using.. lol. people notice those things, and a good continuity/production assistant would've'e been on top of that. ;)The above might seem harsh and nit-picky but can make a real difference in product.Watchable but not Big-Screen quality, good story concept, decent pacing, strong effort all around.

Stars: Lisa Neeld( Playboy), Sara Brooks (WWE) and Pamela Sutch ( B-movie Scream Icon).In a Len Kabasinski film.So, There is bidding for an opportunity to hunt down HUMANS, Evidently this is a regular event….Sheesh ! Was intrigued that some of the 'Bad Guy Hunters ' were also women hunting other women,What does that tell us…Kind of deep thoughts for a B-Movie …Right ? The female leads are pretty impressive,Yes,PRETTY ,I mean we get to see a lot of them physically displayed and yet they can hang with the boys in the violence department.The stunts,gore scenes and sheer terror developed in the script was great.

For the purpose of full disclaimer I am a huge fan of Killerwolf Films. I love the mixture of horror and action they do so seamlessly. This film is a bit of a departure for them. All of their previous films have had a otherworldly element to it (like werewolves, zombies, vampires, dark spirits or being set after the apocalypse)and this one is definitely set in the real world without any monsters. The film is, in a nutshell, a group of girlfriends go out camping for the weekend and stumble across a human hunt being conducted by a clandestine group of uber rich uber important people (akin to 1994's Surviving the Game). Because they discover the hunt they now become part of it. Some really great performances by Sara Brooks, Pamela Sutch, Lisa Neeld, Melissa Scott, K.K. Ryder, Deanne Visalle, and James Scott Charles Howell. My 2 favorites though were Luc Bernier and Brian Anthony. While this genre is not a favorite of mine it still manages to grab onto me and I want to see what happens to the characters good and bad. One of the signs of a good film for me is when they use a genre I may not favor but do something with that I find I really enjoy and Len Kabasinski is able to do this. A great entry into his list of many films this will appeal to survival horror fans as well as action fans. KWF fans do not want to miss this.

Being a big fan of Killerwolf films, I took the trouble to get this from the US. The flick was OK, but was mainly a retake on the hiking trip turns into massacre story. At least the hikers were easy on the eye and could act well. The story had somewhat of a tame ending. It was also a bit short on martial arts compared with their other films, although some might prefer that and the producers may just be responding to the other reviewers who don't like a kick-fest. Contains an interesting 'rising from the dead' with rather a lot of nakedness from Sarah Brooks. In fact there was a lot of nakedness overall for this type of film. Bizarre, but fun. The settings were good (are these the same woods as used for Swamp Zombies?). Production values good and gore and special effects convincing. The arrow scene I particularly liked.I still think Swamp Zombies was their best film. OK I know I am in the minority, but that had a charm of its own. I'm still waiting for Swamp Zombies 2.......Overall, an good film worth seeking out, although not their best title so far (I have the lot). Does anyone know what happened to Bridal Party Massacre and the Ninja film of theirs? Looking forward to Blood Mercury. Cheers. UK Zombie
