2013 Movie by Chris Leto
Starring .. Mike Duffau , Tanya Christiansen & Aaron Quick Nelson, Joel D Wynkoop & Bob Glazier.
So recently I was contacted by Chris regarding Rough Cut asking if I had time to review his earlier effort after really enjoying Die Die Delta Pi another excellent horror movie, so of course I had to snap his arm off at the chance to check out any directors earlier work....
This is clearly going to be another Floridian classic definitely Chris Leto's other efforts Die Die Delta Pi, Housewife Slasher have both been hits with me and this wasn't any different either, the story is simple it is like a demise of a man losing his wife, losing the funding for his movie he wants to make has to make some drastic decisions to make the CUT !!!!, Sean Donohue is producer of course we know when Sean is attached it is going to be a instant hit, he is so familiar in the Indie Horror scene with so many classic's in the genre under his belt....
This has a feeling of "Falling Down & Last Horror Film" with breakout of a character and loss of everything until something has to give, Chris has really done well with this the Character Jack is really haunting the main reason being he is your normal Joe (well Jack) that is willing to do anything to make it ... in reality who isn't there is always someone that you can relate him with in life and it makes it more chilling as a character due to the fact that he isn't any different from anyone else just desperation has made him become a monster...
Being a lower budget movie / feature although this isn't anything negative there were some slight flaws in the movie like anything, you rarely these days see a perfect movie but like everything this had its Oh Shit moments, the violence and the character of Jack were commendable Mike Duffau played Jack to a tee he is a impressive actor and should be thanked for the role he played in the movie dearly gave the movie that edge with the filmmaker turned homicidal psychopath on the click of a switch and the fun interaction with his ever so loving and doted wife is definitely some of the highlights of the feature...
The violence / and blood is a plenty in this there definitely isn't a shortage and it done really well so hats of to Chris & Sean on that as it is always nice to see blood & violence not looking like a rubber dummy or plastic covered in Jam , the movie plays out like a old skool grindsploitation movie you would see at your local Drive in Theatre back in the day full of nudity and extreme violence so this will really fall into a lot of categories and please a lot of people in wanting to seek out the movie upon national release...
Yeah the movie isn't perfect, yeah some of the cast / characters don't have a lot of depth so you can relate with them feel there story, but on the whole this is a really good effort from Leto and is definitely worth a viewing with friends and beers if you love your movies with Gore/ humour & and a wee bit of torture seek this out upon release....
7/10
