A Masterpiece!

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The acting in this movie is really good.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I admit I watched for Ben Browder. I was very surprised that the film more story than effects driven. The effects and production values much better than I was expecting. Cast led by Ben Browder,Gavin Casalegno, and Ray Wise was also solid. Filmed in Louisiana and outside shots had great feel/look to them. The Booth Brothers used the visual effects well to enhance the story and create the world rather than take the place of the story. It was also nice to see a horror story that didn't involve a group of partying teens but rather a father and son who are both dealing with issues. Gavin Casalegno had to rely a lot on reacting and conveying his "dialogue" without speaking and he did it well. Ben Browder delivered as the dad with father issues of his own. Worth a watch for horror fans as well as there were some good creepies!

If you've never seen a movie or documentary by the Booth Brothers, you're missing out. After filming documentary style movies for the past few years they've gone back to the horror genre and really won't disappoint. I enjoyed Dead Still and will probably watch it again with the grandchild next time she comes for a visit. The practice of taking photographs of one's dead as used to be done is fascinating and can be a unique idea for a movie. The idea that a modern day person can end up with an antique camera that does what this camera ends up doing could almost be as scary and buying an antique box at a garage sale. If you want to see some real antique photos of dead people and if you want to get scared than sit down with a box of popcorn and enjoy........

I have been a huge fan of the Booth Brothers and Their films from the first one I saw. Always beautifully filmed and great soundtrack as well.I would truly love to see what Chris and Phillip could do with a Hollywood size budget.I am always amazed at what they can make on an Indie film budget.I've always been a huge fan of Independent Film and the old school way of film making.Im not a big fan of CGI,though I do understand it now has a place in film.Deadstill for me was great because it took me back to my youth of going to good old horror movies.This film also had elements of Argento and Fulci.The movie has some truly creepy moments and just the right amount of gore.Th Booth Brothers also make the best Paranormal Docs I've ever seen.I highly recommend all of their films.Deadstill is a great way to spend the night kicking back with a good old fashioned horror film.

I enjoyed watching this movie...the basis of the movie was great...got me to wondering about those old photos and "maybe" with the camera itself, what there capable of doing....It was nice to sit in ones own living room and chat with the Booths...while the movie was on...like many of the movies out here you either like it or u don't...to each his own....and if u didn't like it.it takes a lot of guts to stand by what u write...but for those of us that liked it let us have our moment in the sun....I'm hoping they will keep putting out movies for us to review...my favorite characters were the kids...and the young man with the beautiful eyes...the children came across well in there character...excellent choice....OK this is it for now...tata....Bandits mom
