Movie Reviews of Shatter Dead
Movie Review: It took me 8 years to like it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally got the VHS version of this after reading about this movie in Fangoria almost ten years ago. I was interested in filmmaking and horror so I checked it out. The video look was very hard to digest and to be honest I couldnt get past it enough to even see what the director/writer Scooter McCrae was trying to say. My filmmaking aspirations died shortly after due to economics and emotional immaturity.Years later my interest was rekindled due to a number of factors(digital technology, mundanity of the working world) and I revisited the movie. I finally got what Scooter was trying to get at and what went into the production.
This movie is intelligent and extremely nihilistic. The heroine is attractive and has these expressive eyes that convey the anger, weariness, and hope she has to return to her boyfriend. The carnage is almost cartoon like and hopeless. No one will ever die again no matter how mangled they are. Truly hell on earth!! Shatter Dead is not an escapist or popcorn flick, its also not pretentious or artsy. Its a satisfying experience that is almost an anti-movie. Its understandable that few would enjoy this but those few exist and should get this.
Oh yeah and for all those who say "I coulda shot a better movie than this with a camcorder and my friends" why not try? Youll see the planning, equipment, and execution of shooting rather difficult and challenging. Ive seen too many good SOV flicks to rip on someones format choice. Also recommend: At Dawn They Sleep and Meat Market.
