I love this movie so much

That was an excellent one.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

BREADCRUMBS is yet ANOTHER slasher-in-the-woods low budget horror flick made with a paucity of imagination or style. It's dull beyond belief, and I'm not going to give the film-makers a break just because they didn't have any money to shoot; the British film-makers behind HAROLD'S GOING STIFF had nothing to work with either and they made a funny, genuinely heartwarming zombie film.The cartoon credits are the best thing about BREADCRUMBS and it all goes downhill from there. The storyline sees a modern-day Hansel and Gretel lurking in the woods, where they encounter the cast and crew of a porn shoot taking place in an EVIL DEAD-style cabin. What follows is a mildly gruesome slasher flick, with the deaths all happening in the most predictable way imaginable.The characters are poorly written and unlikeable and most of the plotting in the second half evolves around the most obvious and unworkable twist ever, so I don't know why they even bothered. Needless to say the cast and crew are all sub-par as well, making this a virtually worthless viewing experience.

Personally, I'm tired of the "movie-made-by-drunk-college-kids-for-drunk-college-kids" sub-genre of horror films, and this qualifies, although to be honest, it's not as bad as some I've seen.The acting ranged from adequate to awful, the opening scene was all too familiar, i.e. bunch of profane, plastered college kids arrives out in the woods, alternately teasing and cussing each other out. There really wasn't much original here, just some re-arranging of the second-hand furniture. It's sad that so much available technology is wasted in the name of easy pseudo-shocks and nudity / gore.These kids, plus an older (thirty-ish) woman, are at a remote cabin to film a porno movie (read, excuse for nudity and sex scenes)when they encounter a strange brother and sister team. Unless you've been a cave sniffing glue for the past thirty years, there's no surprises here, although this may be the goal; nothing challenging, just more gawk-chow.

A group of porn filmmakers are systematically attacked by two children on the set of a remote shoot.We have actress Kristina Klebe here, and a whole lot of unknowns in the woods being preyed upon by "kids" (more like young adults) who think they are Hansel and Gretel. It fails on many levels. The first, and most obvious, was not using kids to play the kids.The porn aspect is done decently, including a nice parody of the "Big Sausage Pizza" series of films. But I am not really sure why they had to be porn stars. It could have been any random group of people -- the only difference here being that we have a sex scene. But the porn is not central to the plot like (the much better) "One Eyed Monster".There probably is no reason to see this one. People in the woods getting killed. We have seen this before. Sure, it has a few new angles, and there is a lot of potential for a good Hansel and Gretel story. This just was not the right one.

A film crew making a porn flick at a cabin in the remote woods run afoul of a couple of deranged and dangerous children. Director Mike Nichols, working from a twisted script by Charles Black and Sam Freeman, relates the gripping story at a brisk pace, does an expert job of creating and sustaining a spooky atmosphere, builds a good deal of tension (the last third in particular is quite harrowing), keeps the tone grimly serious throughout, and caps everything off with a nerve-shredding bummer ending. Moreover, the startling outbursts of brutal and grisly violence pack a pretty nasty punch and the plot about the abandoned psycho kids has a genuinely unsettling warped modern-day Grimm Brothers fairytale aspect to it. The secluded sylvan setting projects a potently upsetting feeling of stark isolation and vulnerability. The sound and credible acting from the able cast rates as another substantial plus, with praiseworthy contributions from Marianne Hagan as weary, aging veteran porn actress Angie, Steve Carey as the brave Billy, Jim J. Barnes as geeky camera dude Chuck, Alana Curry as the catty Vanity, Zoe Sloane as hot young starlet Skylar, Douglas Nyback as nervous novice Dominic, and director Nichols as mean jerk director Eddie. Pretty redhead Amy Crowdis and scrawny beanpole Dan Shaked are truly creepy and unnerving as sicko siblings Patti and Henry. Ian Dudley's slick'n'shadowy cinematography and Matt Sorenson's ominous score are both up to par. A neat little chiller.
