terrible... so disappointed.

An absolute waste of money

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

A low budget, single room thriller that owes most of its inspiration from the SAW franchise. The storyline involves a crazy guy who's arrested after being found wielding an axe beside a decapitated body in a lift. The authorities send him to jail, believing him to be a notorious serial killer, but he escapes and captures those responsible for his arrest in the first place, forcing them to work for him to prove his innocence or guilt.What this all boils down to is a locked-room thriller in which various unappealing characters are forced, literally, to work to death. It's all an excuse for lots of gruesome gore sequences in which eyes are pulled out, foreheads are carved and there's even a little fingernail damage for the squeamish. The film is relatively fast-paced for a low budget film but the usual constraints apply, including cheesy dialogue and some very sub-par acting.The British villain, played by Nicholas Hope, is just one of those characters you can't take seriously; maybe it's because I'm British too, but he feels like a character from THE OFFICE instead of an imposing villain. HOME AND AWAY actress Kelly Paterniti is better as the lead, but she's the only interesting one here. The best thing about the film are the authentic gore effects, done the old fashioned way by SFX maestro Tom Savini. A shame the rest of the story and its silly twists can't match them.

I was lucky enough to see this film on the big screen in March this year at the Australian Film Festival held annually at the wonderful Randwick Ritz in Sydney, Lucky, as it was a sold out session and also lucky as it is a terrific and original entry into what can only be described as tired genre... This film takes you places you have never thought of in the Horror/Comedy/Boy meets Grrrrrl/Detective Story/Office Politics genre films you think you may have seen before... It mixes a new and spunky cast with the very experienced and masterly Nicholas Hope as the terrifying but deeply misunderstood Thomas Reddmann... Clever, intelligent and humorous scripting from Anthony O'Connor and Jonathon Green make it a joy for the actors and audience to revel in... Assured direction from Daniel Krige and incredible special make up effects created and supervised by wizard Tom Savini elevate this tale above the norm... Sure, it's low budget and Indie but every cent seems to have been wisely stretched and spent on the story on the screen...How rare is that these days... Can't wait to get my hands on the Blu-Ray to enjoy it again and to see the extras and the Making Of... Never assume anything in this office from Hell...What's also good about the film is that the truth is never far away... It's a tale very far from parody and knows and loves where it is... When you feel things can't get any worse, it just might... but then... it may not! ...You really are on a mad roller coaster ride but can't quite decide if it's better to stay on or get off...Safety rushes by as you decide... One thing you can be sure of... Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the office typing pool..It Ain't!

When I was invited to the preview of Redd Inc, I like others was not sure what to expect. Having seen Angst a few years ago on TV I at least knew I'd be getting a witty film, and I wasn't wrong. I'm a fairly picky horror fan, but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It almost feels like a comic book in a lot of places, due to the colourful way it is shot and executed. It was unexpectedly funny, had characters I related to and I found myself rooting for their survival. The female lead is spunky and has character, she's not a cardboard cut-out. I enjoyed Redd Inc from start to finish, I felt it broke free of many of the flaws and traps that horror films seem to fall into. To go into more detail would be giving too much away. I highly recommend that horror fans see this one for themselves. It's not big Hollywood, it's definitely got that indie feel about it but there's fun to be had here.

Just saw this movie at a film festival in Seoul and was quite impressed. As is generally the case with film festivals, I didn't quite know what to expect going in other than how it is similar to Saw. While the similarity is there, Redd, Inc. is certainly its own film and one that is worth watching. It involves a recently escaped mental patient/prisoner who believes himself to be innocent and kidnaps the unsuspecting people who were involved one way or another with the conviction.The movie lacks the sort of pathetic dialog the worst parts of the Saw franchise often include as other films do, whether it's Saw, other horror movies, or other other movies that involve multiple people in a tumultuous situation. The dialog is often funny, usually necessary, and never drab.The director was kind of enough to show up and say a few things about his film along with taking questions, during which time he brought up his love of the comedy/horror genre. Often times horror movies are funny when they don't want to be and corny when they are trying to be funny, but Redd Inc. does a good job achieving what it is trying to achieve at any given moment. In the end, everyone has a moment or many of feeling chained to their desks.
