Excellent, Without a doubt!!

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I'm not sure where to start with this one, i just watched the august underground trilogy and am still unsure if i hated or loved it; but i knew that i loved toe tag pictures talent for realistic gore, I also read up a lot about Vogel, and knew these weren't the types of films he had the desire to make, so with Redsin Tower i did have quite good expectations. I am a fan of low budget and underground, most mainstream horror is a joke to be fair, but only when they get it right. Red sin was definitely not a film that deserves praise. The over used cliché'd plot of a "haunted" house or tower in this case, with a few annoying teenagers deciding this is a great place for a party and realise they are mistaken when they start to get killed one by one. How boring, however i knew the story before i watched and still went into the movie with an open mind trying to look past the terrible acting and embarrassing script writing. Basicaly, thats all the movie really is, just another boring over hyped low budget stupid film that didn't give itself any help to begin with, with such a terrible plot and script. The only things i liked about this film was the gore, but sadly there wasn't nearly enough of it to make this film worth a watch. If reading this and you still feel like watching- i'd only watch the last half hour as it was probably the only part that was a little entertaining. There was only one scene in particular that i enjoyed, but frankly Redsin just does not cut it. I wont write Fred Vogel off completely though and will continue to watch his movies and hope he learns how to write a good story to match his talent for creating gore.

If you don't know, the makers of this film made several faux home movies, supposedly taped by serial killer and rapists documenting their exploits. They were certainly different and truly scary. The film makers use some of the same techniques here but its not nearly as effective. The characters are a bunch of losers who decide to drink and get high in a haunted building. A sub plot has a jilted boyfriend pursuing one of the loser girls. The girls and their male friends, played by actors obviously too old for the roles, chatter away, make out, talk trash and do what real losers do....but its not much fun to watch. In fact the goofy boyfriend is a lot more interesting. He is somewhat appealing in a geeky way and even though he flips out and turns into a stalker, you feel a bit sorry for him. The others have no real life apart from getting stoned and drunk and aren't even likable, just boring losers.The set is apparently a basement with utility tunnels, one of which appears to be a cave. At least it doesn't have straight walls like a building would. Why they call it a tower is odd. There are no stairs. All the action seems to take place in the basement. And its a small set. We see the same window over and over even though the people comment about the "maze" they get lost in. The gore effects are quite good but they don't start until we have been put to sleep by the endless chatter from the dopey girls. The camera work is pretty good too. The lighting is so low key and dark that lots of the good gore stuff is really hard to see. I know its supposed to be a dark old haunted place and all but a bit more light would have made the effects much more entertaining. Its also rather sad to read comments from persons obviously involved in making the film trumpeting this film as a "10" in press release language. Nobody talks like that. It doesn't fool anybody.This movie will be liked best by fans of the makers earlier work. For other viewers its average at best.

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...

THE REDSIN TOWER is the much-anticipated follow up to director Fred Vogel's previous faux-snuff outings, AUGUST UNDERGROUND and AUGUST UNDERGROUND'S MORDUM. Those with an ear to the ground of "extreme" horror-films have already seen, own, or at least heard of the AU films, and they've achieved a bit of a cult status since their releases a few years ago. Personally, I'm not a big fan of the AU films - the FX are great but there was too much annoying filler in both films. As the Toe Tag crew have made clear since the announcement of the REDSIN TOWER project, this would be their first "traditional" film with a full plot, "serious" acting, actual cinematography - the works. Hearing this, I was both anxious and skeptical of how the final result would turn out.Kim has broken up with Mitch, and Mitch isn't taking the news too well. Kim is invited to a party by her girl-friend Becky, and the two stop off at a friend's house to meet up beforehand. Here we meet stoners Philly and Emily, and the dynamic-jock-duo, Steve and Carl. Mitch finds out that the ex is rollin' to the party, so he calls the cops and has it busted. With no where to hang out for the evening, Emily throws out the idea to head up to the Redsin Tower, the local town haunted-spot. The group agrees and their on their way. Mitch runs into Emily at a convenience store, and when he starts puttin' his hands on her, Steve and Carl jump in a beats the sh!t out of him - this just ain't poor Mitch's day. Back on the road to the tower, the group of partiers finally make it to their destination and start drinkin', smokin', and screwin' around. Things seem to be going pretty smoothly - until the curse of the tower begins plaguing the party-goers, and Mitch arrives with the intention of retrieving Emily, by any means necessary...I gotta be honest - I dug THE REDSIN TOWER quite a bit. I figured it would either be decent, or fall really flat - and luckily Vogel and crew were able to show that they could do more than just shot-on-camcorder no-plot gore. Not that there's anything wrong with those types of films, I just think it was cool to see Toe Tag try something a bit riskier and different, and to be able to pull it off well. Fans that are expecting a twisted AU style bloodbath may be disappointed. Though the blood flows liberally in THE REDSIN TOWER, it mainly gets gory in the last half-hour and isn't as depraved as the stuff on display in the AU films. The Toe Tag crew have opted for a more straight-forward mix of supernatural and slasher horror for this entry, and it works for 'em. Kind of reminiscent of a gorier EVIL DEAD with slasher elements thrown in - I'm pretty sure that this one will be a success for the Toe Tag crew, and I'm anxious to see what their future endeavors bring...8/10
