Sorry, this movie sucks

Awesome Movie

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Okay, I'll give GILGAMESH credit for being something other than a cheesy and predictable slasher, but this micro budget production is so awful and indescribable that it becomes virtually unwatchable after the first ten minutes or so. I appreciate the effort made to depict a snowbound Siberia in the film's opening sequences, but the plot then goes off on a tangent involving religion, politics, and various esoteric themes.Unfortunately as with all indie productions this all amounts to a whole bunch of actors doing very little other than having philosophical conversations. It's patience-testing stuff for sure and the continuing refusal to make sense or deal with concrete themes and ideas makes it a real chore to sit through. There's little incident, a nonsensical story, no realism, and awful acting throughout. I hated it, I'm afraid.

The quality in this movie is unbelievable for the budget! The photography, storyline and acting are superb. The locations are believable and well planned out. There were no details overlooked. His use of lighting and sound gave the movie the feeling you were there and part of the action. I hope this is not the last we see in a long line of features we see from this group of talented people. Richard Chandler is well on his way after putting this movie together. I look forward to seeing more from Boston Film Family. This will be a definite winner on the festival circuit and should be picked up for distribution as well. Congratulations!

Gilgamesh, the latest product to come from the mind of Richard Chandler and his crew at Boston Film Family, is a refreshing change from the never ending crap that has been called Indie Film over the last few years. Jousha Davies and the lovely Melantha Blackthorne shine in this sci-fi thriller set in the not to distant future. Joseph Ganniscoli (the Sopranos) brings his years and talent to a small but powerful role and helps narrate the film. Oselito Joseph, stands tall, as the title character Gilgamesh. An ancient being that has come to help us in our darkest hours. He is pitted against Inanna(Emily Coleman), an ancient evil unwittingly set free from her ancient prison. Richard Chandler not only wrote, directed and produced the film, he also brings to life the character Lars. Chandler is as comfortable on screen as he is behind the scenes. Rounding off the cast are a plethora of local new england talent that make this film their own. All in all this film is a breakthrough for the BFF franchise. Their largest endeavor to date has proved to be their best work yet. Be on the lookout for more from this great lil group! I could only imagine what they could do with a real budget!

Very impressive job of independent filmmaking on a micro-budget. Imaginatively depicts the fall of the US government and the rise of an insane dictator in the near future, set against an eternal conflict between two supernatural and immortal beings - one sworn to destroy the human race, the other who may or may not be our protector. Has the character depth, texture and ambitions of a movie costing many, many, many times more money. Well-directed, well-written with flashes of black humor amid carnage, generally very well-acted, and quite well-photographed. Uses its limited budget to claustrophobic advantage in the same way that some of Roger Corman's early films did….A rather unique accomplishment that follows its own independent raison d'être - to give its audience a creative experience they'll never get from Hollywood.
