Project Terrible: FALL DOWN DEAD

Thanx to Wolf Ninja from Gaming Creatively for tormenting me with this unbelievably awful thriller-crapfest. I will punish him with the Asylum-schlock "Haunting Of Winchester House" MWAHAHA :-)

FALL DOWN DEAD

USA, 2007
Director: Jon Keeyes

2/10

Omg, that was bad. "Fall Down Dead" (stupid title) is one of the dumbest and most pointless horror-thrillers I've ever, EVER seen. Not only does it look like it was shot in Romania or some other East European country, it also looks like it was actually made by Uwe Boll or Ulli Lommel.

The good:

In the first 20 minutes there are a few scenes, sequences and moments that look good and promising, f.e. a few gruesome and well-looking kills, a few cool and stylish shots and some really terrific images (most notably the finger-chessboard).

The bad:

Everything else. 70 super-boring minutes of dumb people walking through an ugly-looking office building. Lots of killed people whose make-up looks shoddy and cheap, one of the most generic, tiresome and repetitive musical scores in history, lame editing, bad direction, a horrid script, no plot, no suspense, no tension, no atmosphere, no nothing.

Worst of all - the acting.

Christ, I just couldn't believe how incredibly... how PAINFULLY bad the acting is. David Carradine is absolutely horrible as silly and grinning cop - was he on drugs or something? Udo Kier isn't much better - his performance as 'the Picasso Killer' feels trite and lifeless, and he constantly looks as if he has no clue what he's doing here.

 

Mehmet Günsür - terrible. R. Keith Harris - terrible.
Dominique Swain - EXTREMELY terrible. Her unintentionally hilarious looks and facial expressions give the word 'Overacting' a new meaning.

Final Verdict:

A huge pile of garbage. I'd rather fall down dead than watch it a second time.
