Excellent adaptation.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The movie was really great, suspenseful and very shocking at the end. Recommended to those who love Murder Mystery and Supernatural films. At first I thought I was not going to like it I'm glad I gave it a chance. I've watched quite a lot thrillers in the past, and I must say, this is a must-see movie! I would recommend this to anyone! I'm very glad I bought this one! Hope to see some more movies like these in the future. It was definitely worth the watch. The Deadline was a much more "sophisticated" horror film from those I've watched in the past which made it more believable. It was full of unexpected action as well as suspense which kept me on the edge of my seat and the story line kept me guessing. I was impressed with the cast and their performances as well. It made me think back on what Quentin Tarantino was able to accomplish in "Reservoir Dogs". It was that kind of gritty movie, gun fights, action, and all of the above kind of movie. Plus it was pulled off in a way that was very convicting given the budget. The best part was the ending and how the director was able to pull everything together. Really good, for sure worth checking out.

Deadline was a climatic gripping story that appeals to anyone Who like scary movies. Although it is a low budget film it defiantly wasn't perceived like one. The location, actors, story line and action packed scenes, we all directed perfectly to a T. The house of the film really complimented all of the scenes that were required to make you jump. The characters did a fantastic job with acting out their roles. In many horror movies many scenes are predictable but in Deadline most of the scenes were unpredictable, causing you to jump from your seat. This is the best low budgeted film I have ever watched, if you're looking for a movie that will give you goose bumps, keep you on your toes, with action packed scenes and wanting more, then watch Deadline its the movie for you. Honestly I cannot describe how good this movie was, whether you like scary movies or not Deadline is the must see movie of the low budgeted film. Chris Tasara, the director of Deadline did a fantastic job with picking the perfect actors and actresses for their parts. Chris Tasara did an amazing job with taking what he had for his script and putting it in a movie. His use of different angles and special effects really pulled the movie together. The dramatic and climatic scenes gave the real essence of a horror movie. The music he added to the movie added the final touch to the amazing movie called Deadline.

After having my copy of Deadline sit around for over a year, and then finding out the film pick up it's 13th award (to date), I thought it was time to see what all the fuss was about...And I can tell you, Deadline is worthy of all the buzz it's been generating. It's a mystery/ psychological thriller that succeeds on so many levels. It shows just what can be achieved on a limited budget, when a creative script meets a talented cast a crew. The story-line is tight, and the acting sharp. The technical aspects of the movie, particularly the lighting and soundtrack choices, really help to increase the mood of the film. It's creepy!Deadline doesn't boast a big name cast, and didn't blow it's budget on elaborate special effects, but the production value obtained does allows it to tell the story very well. Overall, Deadline is much more than the sum of it's parts. If you enjoy these types of movies, you'll definitely appreciate the work that went into it, and the final product output.Roll on the sequel...

Kyle and Sarah are starting a life together in a renovated house in Hollywood Hills, on the same property where the original house burned-down a decade earlier with its owner vanished...There are any number of problems with this film. I could talk about the poor acting (especially from screen veteran Gary Hudson) or the poor effects. I could discuss the slow pacing of what could have been an exciting action or horror film. I could complain of the gratuitous nudity (the woman in the opening scene must have the world's dirtiest chest for how long she stands there massaging herself).But, really, this comes down to one big problem: a script that has no narrative and no attempt at a linear plot. Is it a story about two corrupt cops? Is it a story about a couple who move into a house that was built on top of the ashes of a murder site? Somehow the story wants to be both, but actually tells us neither. By spending so much time on the cops, we learn very little about the haunting. And even with the cops, we never really get he full story on why they are corrupt (and how they do not get caught for such cavalier actions).And why is the wife a best-selling author who is going to go on a book tour and has writer's block? She is never shown writing, nor does her job factor in to the story. Why are we shown murders of two random friends or the forensics guy and his wife? We could hear about the forensics guy, and the friends really did not matter at all. The forensics guy was completely miscast, by the way -- he looked far too young.As I writing this rambling response to this film, I have in the back of my mind that the IMDb rating is 6.6 -- much higher than the average movie. This suggests to me that only the director's friends have rated the film and once the general public sees it, it will plummet to a 2 or 3. And somehow the movie won a few film festival awards. Sure, none of these are film festivals that actually matter, even among independent film junkies, but to win this means that the competition was even worse. God forbid those other films ever see the light of day.Is this the worst film ever made? Far from it. That honor goes to "Hell's Threshold". And, to be fair, I have seen enough horror films to know that this is not even in the top 10% of worst films. But it is pretty bad, and I understand why it has waited two years to find distribution. I just wish it had stayed hidden -- no one can watch this and find any enjoyment in it.
