... View MoreDisturbed loner Montgomery Goth (a sound and sympathetic portrayal by Matt Nelson) struggles to maintain his sanity while working a thankless job as a pizza delivery man. Montgomery's miserable life perks up after he meets his dream girl in the form of the sweet Bibi (a fine and appealing performance by stunning redhead Tara Cardinal). However, things go awry and Montgomery's inner demons push him to go off the murderous deep end. Writer/director Jose Zambrano Cassella relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, takes time to establish Montgomery as a genuinely pitiable character (he's the unbalanced product of a tragic and terrible childhood), grounds the premise in a believable everyday blue collar reality, does a good job of presenting Montgomery's lonely life and troubled mindset, maintains a bleak unsettling tone throughout, and pulls out all the harrowing stops for the gruesome last third. Moreover, Cassella not only further spices things up with inspired moments of black humor, but also delivers a substantial amount of unflinching graphic gore and tasty gratuitous female nudity. The solid acting by the competent cast rates as another definite asset, with especially praiseworthy contributions from Kevin James O'Neill as Montgomery's abusive boss Mr. Hand, Melissa Gruver as a mean junkyard owner, Trhea Danae as cheerful therapist Dr. Martha, Luis Miranda as the bitchy Belinda, and Loretta Breanan as shameless slut Lola. Better still, this film offers some painfully spot-on accurate insights on man's cruelty towards and lack of compassion for his fellow man. Both Cassella's crisp cinematography and moody score are up to par. A neat little indie fright flick.
... View MoreThis is one of those little films that one finds on the bargain bins, I found it that way, the DVD box got me hooked. Shot, as mentioned in the commentary track, for $5000. I am shocked. It looks just like the average $200,000 B-movie horror flick. I am not saying this looks like Lawrence of Arabia, but it is a great indie horror film, with actual character development, it takes its time, that is ballsy.Matt nelson is amazing in his performance, I mean, the guy threw himself into this role and that is admirable. A great film, great concept and a fantastic effort by Jose Cassella and his team.
... View MoreI got this in Canada, through Amazon.com...They say that "Automaton Transfusion" is the "Holy Grail of indie horror films". And that it was a miracle for being shot for $30,000. I guess those folks didn't see THIS movie miracle.I think Delivery was shot for around $4500?, somewhere in that range. I mean..they spent what producers spend in sodas and bubble gum in ONE day of shooting in a real film set.And the film looks great, in fact, better than most $60,000 and up micro budget films.Character development?, in a horror film?, who knew there were people that still used that.... Delivery takes its time, it makes you work for it, but if you know what you are getting into, you'll find something there, you'll find true smart film-making behind the silly situations and cheesy effects.An awesome performance by the lead, who is dead on perfect for the film. Lets see what these guys can do with an actual budget.Very good, very entertaining, very well done for the budget, huge congratulations!
... View MoreI got this through dvdempire.com. I saw the cover and though this would be your typical slasher low budget flick (the kind I love to watch). What I got instead was a well written and developed character for the first hour or so, and then a cheesy but extremely fun finale that reminded me of the best low budget horror films I grew up with.Not many filmmakers have the cojones now days to just tell a story in detail, without MTV cutting or ADD narrative. That is why I guess some people were turned off by the film.I loved this film!I think Jose Cassella is a triple threat, he scored the film, he shot it very, very well (for DV24p), wrote the thing and directed it. The film looks better than your average $100,000 grade B film ( I am told this thing cost $3500!, try that somebody!).I like to discover little treasures like this, it restores my faith in the new generation of filmmakers.Is it silly and cheesy?...yes, is it insulting for some?...yes, is this for everyone?...nope, but for my money this was a fun ride, a surprising well acted (by the lead), written and made low budget film.I'll be looking for more work by Jose, with a bit more money and a bigger script...who knows? He could throw one right out of the park.Congratulations, you have made a great little film.Luisa.
