To me, this movie is perfection.
It is a performances centric movie
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
I saw the cast list and that really was the main draw to this film.I think it is definitely the script which lets this film down badly There are three plots in this film. While one sub-plot certainly did a nice job of setting up a red herring and lots of soft-core T&A, the third plot was off on its own little island with almost no connection to the events in the main plot. It only slowed the film right down and destroyed any tension being built up in the main plot. The main plot itself was not very original done but if more of the film was spent with it would definitely have been a better film to watch Many scenes appeared to have no connection to any part of the story at all. Most of the acting was competent but the male lead while pretty enough was just not very convincing. While Forsythe certainly acted better and got more screen time unfortunately this was all part of the irrelevant sub-plot. Actually both leads were boring sketches of characters and the more interesting supporting cast were all sidelined in favour of the nice, young, white couple. Perhaps this film did make more sense at one time but someone butchered it
I first heard about iMurders about a year ago when I saw the poster image. Which is awesome, very eye catching. I instantly added the film to my myspace and facebook fan list (funny since the plot of the movie revolves around "facespace"). I met the director at Project Twenty1's Film a thon in Philly, he is a great guy and very supportive of other's independent films.The film is filled with talented not quite A list actors (some used to be A list). The cast did a great job and you really got to know the full set of characters.I enjoyed the thriller and horror aspects of the film. It is really tough to bring suspense into the feel of a film, especially on a low indie style budget. I was pulled into the story and was waiting for what happened next. I have seen many indie thriller and horror films, most are laughable at best. This film really stands out compared to other indie thrillers. I hope the filmmakers are noticed from this film and have the chance to keep making great films.Check out the film and give some support to the indie filmmakers.
1. There is a suspense scene in the movie that stutters like watching Manos the Hands of Fate. 2. The few "big" name actors must be long out of work, makes you feel like your watching Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 from outerspace. 3. The Shills in the message boards for this flick that are reviewing it with a rating of "10" makes it that much worse. Over 50 votes for a rating of "10"...as if this movie compares to The Godfather. You will see what I mean by "SHILL" when you look at the reviewers who have posted comments on only this movie AND just so happen to registered just before the movie was released. 4. Please don't take my word for it, don't rent it just borrow it from you library where you need no support poorly made movies. I want everyone to see the movie and rate this how they see fit. Maybe soon it will surpass Manos. Maybe it could get improved by Mystery Science Theater 3000. I think this movie could become a new Meme online, something in blogs and chatrooms, when someone irks you, you could warn them of iMurders...
Maybe the worst part of this movie is it isn't so bad as to be unintentionally funny, but it's close.(Charles Durning's psychiatric sessions bring bad acting to a new level). The only suspense in the plot is how some pretty good actors managed to get into this embarrassment of a film. Let's start with William Forsythe, the college professor, who we are suppose to believe much younger attractive women are drawn too. Only in a fat middle aged man's fantasy world could that be true. And this movie. Nothing in this movie is very believable. I feel bad about pointing out just one persons bad acting when there are so many, but Brooke Lewis' performance as the FBI agent is the most frightening thing in the this 'horror' movie. It looks worse next to Tony Todd's performance as her partner who is actually quite good making her look all the worse. The bad plot(you'll know who did it in the first 15 minutes) and acting gets overshadowed by a terrible script. Maybe its a situation where a director falls in love with his own words. Worse dialog you have never heard. Maybe no actor could do a good performance given what they had to work with. So if you are stuck seeing it see it for laughs and maybe you won't feel so bad about wasting two hours of your life.
