Tall Men

source: Tall Men

Well, there is a plot. There is a beginning, middle and end. And if you had to pick a genre, you would call it a horror. Only its not scary. I'm not even sure it was trying to be. By the acting, the directing and the cinematography, you almost feel like you are watching some sort of dream. But not quite. And if the makers could have pulled that bit off properly, then it might have been a decent flick. But they didn't, and it wasn't. It just could have been so much better. I actually like the idea, but poorly executed. Can't describe much further without giving spoilers so will leave this review as vague as the film.

I watched for 5 muniutes and immediately clicked off because it looks like it was filmed with one camera and the storyline doesn't add up

Flows much like Eraserhead. Tried to submit but my review is to short. Too bad.

What a load of dung... very very bad slow and mind numbing!!! The worst film I've seen...

This movie screams extremely limited budget, from the bad camera angles and positioning to the sound seeming like it's being recorded from a different microphone on every shot Now the actors... Wow could they be more out of drama school if they tried, the acting is just so basic and bad the scenarios ridiculously over acted (in a bad way) especially the main male actor I don't know who cast these people but they need to seriously be fired along with the director and the makeup artists Everything about this movie is just atrocious, if you've ever watched a first year drama students movie imagine that but 10x worse I seriously don't understand how a movie company would accept to have this on there books obviously they didn't watch it before saying yes or they took it on for charity All in all this is one of the worst movies I have ever had the displeasure of watching

TALL MEN is another cheap and digital indie horror/thriller with a slant towards the generic. It does have a bit more promise than some in terms of plot development and the like but it's still very unremarkable and hackneyed. An ordinary guy takes out a credit loan but soon discovers that his creditors are none other than sinister and suited 'slender man' types designed to menace him. This offers a very mundane depiction of suburban life. It's overlong and has way too little suspense to recommend it.

Terrance (Dan Crisafulli) does an unknown horrible deed as a child and we now see him as an adult. He works at a warehouse and lives in a house that is paid for, yet has gross financial troubles. He is haunted by "tall men" who may or may not be real as we see Terrance is on medication. He is socially awkward and twitchy. Lucy (Kay Whitney) likes him. Edith (Jennifer Angelucci-Medina) gives us a clue as to what is happening in Terrance's world that ties into a theme that the men in charge and Republicans are shape shifting alien reptiles that will use unscrupulous means to take all of our money. This film is a dark satire. The movie is long. It has scenes that move slow and downright stand still, yet still hold an interest. The bad part of the film is that you wait for a payoff in the end and it was a bit under whelming. People are caricatures by design. The production also holds clues that you don't know are clues, like the tub in the yard. A lot of thought went into the film which is slightly more art house than entertaining. Clearly this film is not for everyone. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

This film is quite the departure from the usual horror genre. It is definitely a psychological thriller that makes you uncomfortable and keeps you there. If you're looking for the garden variety horror then this film is not for you. Our protagonist,Terrence played by Dan Crisafulli, has a mental disability. He goes though life paranoid, uptight with illusions to boot. He struggles with the daily tasks of life we all take for granted with a cocktail of pills helping him survive each day. Life for Terrance is hard enough. A recent bankruptcy causes a set of events that make these rough days seem like a cakewalk. After applying for a new credit card since life's financial downturn things start really getting weird. His visions became more frequent and finding out that the credit card he received was predatory adds to his already overwhelming struggle to see the least. Did I mention this gets really weird? I found myself off balance watching. The film gives you the impression that everything is askew. The characters are all strange. Each is stranger than the next. Not that are overtly strange but slightly off center as the rest of this film is. The story line is for any other character in a different movie nothing unusual but through these characters it's downright strange. Guy lives alone, goes bankrupt and gets fired. There is way to much to give away so to elaborate on scenes would make this review one big spoiler. Did I mention this gets weird? Give it a go I think you'll agree this isn't the same old thriller your used to.

Bad dialog, bad lighting, fair sound, terrible acting and too political! This movie is proof that Hollywood actors and film peeps have mental disorder. Don't waste your time/money. This garbage would would be very useful to students of the film arts to see so that they can learn what NOT to do. From now on I know to check for the name Jonathan Hollbrook BEFORE viewing it to make sure I don't waste my time and money.
