Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Fred Vogel, director of the (mostly) effective faux snuff August Underground trilogy, takes the basic plot of Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead—a group of people travel to a remote abandoned building where, one-by-one, they fall victim to an evil spirit that possesses their bodies—and gives it the ToeTag treatment: the characters are universally loathsome; there is plenty of swearing and female nudity; and, of course, Vogel (with help from make-up FX guy Jerami Cruise) delivers oodles of violence and general nastiness.Unfortunately, despite sounding like a gore-hound's dream-come-true, The Redsin Tower is actually a rather disappointing film that suffers badly from an uneventful beginning (a good 40 minutes pass before anything really interesting happens), some rather confusing moments and an unnecessary sub-plot (featuring a psycho ex-boyfriend of one of the girls), and bloody awful lighting that often makes it impossible to see what is going on.Vogel would have done much better if he'd 'borrowed' more than just the plot from Raimi's 1982 masterpiece for his first stab at a 'real' film. Had he emulated the actual structure and pacing of The Evil Dead, which was a non-stop horror roller-coaster ride, then the result might've been much more successful. Instead, the first half of the film is wasted watching a despicable bunch of losers do nothing but take drugs and talk about sex; the second half is spent watching them stumble around an old building in the dark before being killed. And with absolutely no-one likable in the whole movie, it's hard to give a damn what happens to them anyway.Even those viewers who settle down to watch this film purely for the gore will end up feeling a tad cheated. Although there are some violent deaths (my favourite being when a pretty goth chick gets axed), everything is shot in such poor lighting that it's almost impossible to see any of the bloodletting clearly. It's a shame that the only special effect that really sticks in my mind is a very silly looking bat creature.With his undeniably powerful faux snuff movies, Fred Vogel certainly made a name for himself on the underground horror circuit. However, if he wishes to create such a stir with fans of more 'traditional' horror films, then he really needs to come up with something better than this.

The Redsin Tower is a throwback to the teen horror films of the mid to late 1980's. The movie that it takes its major cue from is Night Of The Demons. We all know the story…bored young people decide to go to party in a place that they really shouldn't be hanging around. In this movie that place is an abandoned structure known as the Redsin Tower. There are stories that it is haunted and that makes it an even more enticing place for our group of potential victims to go to and party.The first 45 minutes of Redsin is your standard fare, seen before in countless other films. What stands out this time around however, is the realistic partying that takes place. I mean, there is a lot of dope smoking going on. And it's not just two characters sneaking off to catch a buzz…everyone is getting high. In one scene two characters in a reefer induced haze talk about the best way to roll a joint. I found this very realistic because I have been involved in that very same conversation more than once in my misspent youth. Unlike in any other film before it, the folks in Redsin Tower really look like they are getting pretty wasted.Another riff the film rides in its first act is the jilted, psychotically jealous boyfriend of one of the partiers. Once again we have all seen this character before, but the portrayal here is totally unsympathetic. This guy is a real asshole and you can see why the girl dumped him. I found his over the top performance to be one of the highlights of the first half of the film. The rest of the acting is pretty decent for a low budget film cast with a bunch of unknowns.Once our group of stoned out party animals get to their destination is where the Redsin Tower begins to differ from the films that it is obliviously riffing on. The murders are very graphic. These are not your typical 'gore gags'. They are nasty ultra violent attacks that haven't been seen in a slasher film since the early eighties heyday of Lucio Fulci. There are also some of the most intense scenes of demonic possession that I have ever seen. I mean, it really looks like it hurts and in one disgusting scene I actually cringed. Only one special effect didn't do the trick for me, but other than that, hats off to FX guy Jeremy Cruise for grossing me out on more than one occasion.The other thing that separates Redsin from the rest of the splatter pack is the look of the movie. The set design is excellent, as is the cinematography and direction. Give these talented folks more money and a more original concept and I think you will really see them shine.The Redsin Tower is a low budget shot on video horror movie that is heads above the rest of the crap that is being released on a weekly basis from companies such as Lionsgate, Brain damage and Asylum. Is it a great film? No, but it is very entertaining and I can confidently recommend it to any hardcore horror fan out there looking for a good time.

OK... I love horror movies and I'm not that picky about what I watch but hey... This movie is just more than I can bear... I've almost never stopped watching a movie but this Redsin Tower is one of the few movies I cannot stand...Let's start with the story... boring, conventional and seen three million times... come on, I don't see what's new here: a boyfriend wants to get revenge on his former girlfriend? a tower full of mysteries and bad things??? it's just the basic story of 99% of the bad horror movies out there.but worse is the film.... the image is so dirty that it looks just like a cheap holiday movie... I enjoyed the Blair Witch Project movie but at least the image was something interesting... here it is just bad and blurry... nothing worth spending money to see...Finally the acting is just awful... at times it just seems the actors are almost looking at the camera when delivering their lines ... I know why the actresses were chosen... mainly because they spend most of the movie talking about sex and walking around naked... frankly here too it's not worth losing your time watching...As for the good critics .... I can only think about one explanation... they were left by the producer, director and lead actor of the movie... else... we didn't see the same horrendous film...

Many independent films have been the big thing in the last few years, especially in the horror genre. Actually for a while now, with extra special thanks to the miracle invention of DVD, fans have been able to view the sickest of underground to Art-house, and foreign cinema. But there is one DVD release we are all waiting for (true horror fans that is).From Pseudo Snuff to a movie of this caliber, it's a huge leap for Toe Tag, and I believe a standing ovation is in order! From Director Fred Vogel and the infamous Toe Tag crew, comes a picture that will make you laugh your ass off, cringe in fear and beg for more…The Redsin TowerMitch (A.K.A. Mitch Bitch) is on the verge of a complete mental breakdown. After 6 years in a relationship with his now ex-girlfriend Kimberly, she has finally dumped his lame psychotic ass. His thoughts and wants of marriage and kids had began to freak her out, as she is young and wasn't too sure if this is what she wanted her life to become.Mitch gets to the point where he cannot live without her and goes on the hunt for her and her friends. Supposedly beginning at a party, it ends up that it is raided by the police. Kim and her friends decide to take the party elsewhere. Their decision for a new pot spot… The Redsin Tower.Built by a murderously deviant soul many years ago, the tower is believed to be haunted (and we all know how fun it is to party at a haunted place!) When Mitch finds out about their change of plans, his insanity and jealousy finally takes a turn for the worse. Now he is out for blood in attempt to get Kim back, either by taking her life out of fear of losing her to another guy, or just go all out and take his own life.Now, within the creepy walls and corridors of the Redsin Tower, the party begins. These kids are now on their way to unluckily discover what is in store for them, as well as you the viewer.Within the film, there were great guest appearances that took me by complete surprise; a viewing pleasure indeed. Blood, guts, gore, fear, claustrophobia, and straight up terror, this is what you will receive from this film and more… tenfold!Sorry folks, this is all you are getting from me. No movie comparisons or anything. Go see it for yourself or wait in anticipation (which I know you're all soiling your underpants) for the DVD release whenever that may be.Ratings:For screenplay and storyline, I give a 10. In my opinion there were no imperfections in this film. From beginning to end, be it the laughs or the scares, you are kept at the edge of your seat. Much writing credits are given to Fred & Shelby Vogel, although it mixed many influences from each of the Toe Tag members, many of which are brilliantly done with their own twists. If I mention any of these influences there is no point in seeing the film as it would ruin the whole thing. Going from the films Toe Tag had previously released, Fred and the crew have thrown us an extreme curveball to completely blow our minds. It's refreshing for any horror fan to view a film that does not telegraph anything ahead of time to the viewers. You are left almost completely unaware at all points as to what each scene is leading you towards. Oh! And just to add, the ending that was so twisted and mind-blowing that it will leave you thinking and wondering… what comes next?For acting I give a 9. Though very strongly acted, it did have some very minuscule weak points. Regardless of this, a meritorious job by this entire cast of newcomers. This is not always the case with an entire cast of newbie's. Outstanding!! Also, not to mention the cameos in the film played by non-newcomers, also worthy of praise.For FX I give a 10. Being that Toe Tag had quite a few able FX people on set, a huge merit for outstanding gore, makeup and all that is unholy goes out to the special FX master Jerami Cruise. Forget Savini, forget Nicotero… the master has now stepped up to his rightful place. The set and art designs done by Cristie (Crusty) Whiles were outstanding and completely believable. Watch the film and you will feel the eeriness and intensity not just from the story and FX, but the interior of the film as well. To all others involved (sorry, no listing for me to go by for names), a magnificent job done as well.As for the cinematography, I give a 10. Brilliantly shot! Scene by scene, angle by angle, the attention to detail, colors and all were outstanding. Cinematography alone can make or break a film. In the case of the Redsin Tower, it amongst everything else made the film. From looks of grime to colors and feel of Giallo, the blend was flawless.Overall, the Redsin Tower gets a 10. This film is a must for anyone who has any kind of love for the horror genre. A new stepping stone into horror that will take Toe Tag Pictures and their fans on a journey that will not be forgotten. The words 'horror' and 'terror', as of this moment, now combined create a new name… The Redsin Tower. The word 'accomplished' is also now renamed, and that name is Toe Tag Pictures. First rate horror, in the raw. This needs to be seen, needs to be known, and most definitely needs to be recognized.Copyright © 2006 Cinema Eulogiesnot my full review, for the whole thing and more visit www.cinemaeulogies.com i had to cut the profanity
