Brilliant and touching
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
There is an affection, that you may or may not have towards Low Budget movies. You might relish in the way they are done, how much effort the filmmakers have put into them and give them bonus points for trying and going for their dreams. This movie could be one of those cases you'd need those bonus points to give this movie a boost.The effects are not as bad (considering this is really low budget of course), the tangling story lines and time jumping might cause a few headaches though. There is also the language issue, which is a nice touch, but might not win too many people over. There is a decent amount of blood and action, but overall there is nothing that can really redeem this. Not worth your time
The last vampire film I actually enjoyed was Interview with the Vampire (1994). The locations, story, and sheer scope of the film was impressive. Since then, I have seen a lot of bloated, high budget, and disappointing attempts at a vampire story. Enter Interwoven Film's "Crimson Winter", an impressive effort that brings back the days when story was king. Truth be told, the only reason I decided to watch this film is because it was shot in my home state of Montana. But once I heard the brooding narration of the main character lamenting his many experiences over the course of many lifetimes contrasted by beautiful shots of the mountains of Montana, I was hooked. "Crimson" tells a familiar story in an unfamiliar way. This is a story that requires your attention and rewards it. The story weaves in tales of family betrayal, forbidden love, revenge, survival, compromise, and ideals. This is a gritty, well shot, well acted, independent film that challenges audiences to think about choices, and in this case, what they may mean for centuries to come. It is about belief, and holding on to that belief for so long it could be forgotten. At the end of the day, it is about that wretched, rewarding, painful, and amazing thing called love.
I love these low budget movies. they prove that talent goes a long way you don't need million dollar budgets, or over rated, over paid actors. When you have a good story and a good story teller the rest falls into place, If you don't give these movies a chance you will miss out on so much just like I use to miss out. I'm so happy i began watching these movies. I have seen some great acting, great producing, great directing, brilliant story telling, all done with peanut shells when compared to the bloated Hollywood remakes, I'm so tiered of watching remakes it makes no sense just think of how great these films would be if they had half the money the big blockbuster films get. That's why KICK-STARTER is such a valuable site now we get to back movies we want made by watching clips on kick-starter and donating for the movie to be made please visit and support the little guys spread the word.
What a terribly lousy waste of time. The story is terrible. The actors are real bad, the German Syncro even worse. Yawning boredom, from the first Moment, mainly due to the depressed half-baked Dialogues (which, incidentally, in the film far outweigh.) "action scenes" if you ever may call them, are terribly bad, battles that are always shown only in one vs.one, also if it is to represent mass slaughter. I seriously wonder whether in the credits as something like "Special Effects" is, if so, it should be prohibited, that such a film use such words at all in the end credits. The music is incredibly inappropriate, but bears wonderful to generally prevailing mood of depression and Boredom. All in all, I would think a completely successful Film, made by elementary school students (but only a maximum of 8 Actor and 10 extras)
