Just perfect...

Best movie ever!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Fading Of The Cries was never made to be an intellectual Oscar winning film. Its not meant to evoke discussion on a booker prize level. What it is in fact is a great action film. A whirlwind from start to finish. I admit I had heard bad things about it and i really wasn't looking forward to watching it. I am however very glad I did, this is no kids film as i thought it would be, but what it did do was make me feel like a kid again. If you want to watch a emotive film with content that instills thought and conversation...... go watch Gandhi or Syriana..... if you want and easy to watch fast paced fun action film... watch Fading Of The Cries!! There were some small issues with continuity but i always find them a fun part of watching any film. I saw the movie tonight and enjoyed it a lot so here's my take: Pro's: Good special effects (even though there not all done) Excellent hour and a half (the movie is probably 90 minutes in length if I had to estimate the pacing in that time period was spot on) Good combination of horror and action (I'd say more horror though say in the vein of PAn's Labyrinth, which had a good mix of horror and action). Jordan Matthews nails the swordplay...and there is a lot of it (like probably about 70 percent of the movie). Cons: There wasn't much story or character development and there wasn't a ton of dialogue (we didn't get to know the characters as much as I wanted too). The chemistry was also a bit off between the two leads, but you can't have everything (like I said, it's a popcorn movie, not an Academy Award Film). The last 25 minutes shifted more into a action (it had a nice climatic ending that I won't spoil, and it ;eaves me wanting to see more).Overall I'd give the film an 8.5/10 because it was an innovative look at a superhero other then all the Batman's and Supermen we're given a truly conflicted character who isn't fully invincible. There are many quotable scenes, funny moments, and good special effects that you haven't seen in other movies before. I expect this film to make a lot of money at the box office this summer and please many fans or people who are looking for a solid popcorn flick.

Right what would you get if you had a £10 budget, rubbish CGI people, people that have never stepped foot in an acting class, a director out of there senses and production who are apparently drunk? The simple answer is this film. No one can give me back the time this film has robbed me of. It is certainly the worst film i have ever watched, and i have watched many. I love films from many different genres, but I'm always up for anything with action, occult and horror references. This film however bobbles all over the place, between really awful acting, terrible effects and a rambling strange and often incomprehensible story. People will say this is a B movie but really it can't even merit that! the characters are so wooden i think they came pre varnished. All you are really left with is sitting there thinking, how the hell did i fall into the trap of paying to watch that? Trust me don't pay to watch it, don't even watch it when its available for free, there are many more worth while things to do with your time like counting dust particles or individually plucking the hairs from your toes!

It took me a few minutes to contemplate the film I just watched. But after a short while, I came to the conclusion this movie was decently entertaining. I thought the characters were kind of interesting although a little rushed. The movie starts right in with the action and slows down shortly in the middle only to really pick up at the last third of the film. I did like how there has been nothing quite like this that I've seen before.I don't think that there will be enough blood for the die-hard romero gore fans. For the Twi-hards, there isn't enough romance. Fpr the heavy film buffs and critics, the acting isn't quite there. For those into special computer effects, they aren't bad but nothing groundbreaking that I haven't seen before, although I really liked the masked guy turning into crows.So why did I give this a 7 rating? I enjoyed it because I wasn't expecting a romance or a bloody horror. I got an entertaining action fantasy which led to a satisfying ending. It was very fast and gave me a fun experience. But what really impressed me is that they were able to do so much for an independent film.I recommend you watch it and draw your own conclusions. The largest issue for some I think may be that this film crosses so many genres. So depending on what your expectations are will determine how you feel. I really didn't go in expecting much and was pleasantly entertained.

I was initially unsure about some of the cast. I've only seen Thomas Ian Nicholas do comedies, I've never seen the actress who played Sarah but have looked her up to find mostly TV credits. The lead actor who played Jacob was apparently an unknown theater actor from New York but I wasn't sure if he was just going to be another pretty boy from my first view of the trailer. New York theater is the highest credential an actor can have but you never know. All the big young actors today have zero acting credibility and I'm always looking for the next Johnny Depp or Leonardo DiCaprio. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised as you usually don't see new young actors take on roles where they get bloodied up and ugly.What sold me on the movie was the superhero action. I'd say the last 20 to 25 minutes of the film are the most entertaining in an edge of your seat kind of way. The battle between Jacob and Mathias at the very end was the best part, followed every so closely by the scene of Jacob taking on the onslaught of zombies just beforehand. The rest of the acting was kind of weak but no different than a movie like Cloverfield, Halloween, or Friday the 13th. The movie was much better than the Nightmare On Elm Street remake but the storyline itself was confusing at times. There was a lot of cutting back between the small town parts which I thought were boring and the more epic action scenes. The only cool part of the "town" scenes was watching Sarah hack away at Maggie's face when she turns into a zombie.The pacing was great and Brad Douirf had some sinister moments on screen. I first had the impression that he was playing another Grima Wormtongue role. But Mathias is a more commanding character and it's the lead bad. Grima was just a bit part. Overall, a cool film with some cool new characters. My favorite character was Jacob because of the blood and you don't see enough heroes with swords these days, we're too often overexposed to gun use (maybe the NRA has a deal with the movie industry).
