My Worst Critic

You know, everything I make tends to get a lot of criticism. Especially since I'm more of a beginner than anyone else is here. I try to listen to all of it in order to improve the production quality of my future projects but I still have hopes to make something where my lighting or camera work is not criticised so much. 

 Since most people don't have the attention span for watching micro-budgeted movies, all that there is to do is really push yourself to make the production look more than what it really is.  

By the way, I've seen Forever Dead on the shelves on FYI. I think this week I'll finally get around to picking it up since I had an extra day off from work.

That reviewer really took a lot of time with that.

Christine, what goes through your mind when reading that type of criticism?

Plus, does the review have the right to post all those clips and photos?

I realize that this is the sort of person that would just love me to respond so they can start something. The best thing to do is ignore trolls like these. No they don't have the right to post photos or clips and it does violate our copyright. But...the same goes for those thousands of torrents out there. This person is not worth the trouble.

Gotta remember too that horror films, by and large, aren't critical
fucking darlings.  If you're looking for two tumbs way up, a
zombie movie ain't the greatest place to start.  That said, no
other genre on the planet inspires the rabid fandom overall like horror
films.  I've gotten into fistfights over horror flicks.  Ever
see any of those stodgy fuckers at The English Patient get all
outta line and shit?  I didn't fuckin' think so.  You want to
know if you made a good horror film?  Ask the fans.

Also, as a sidebar just to let you know what cocksuckers critics
are, Gene Siskel gave out Sean Cunninghams' home address and encouraged
people to flood him with hate mail.  For making Friday the Thirteenth.  I'm sorry he's dead, but fuck that.  Siskel, not Cunningham.

If it's just ridiculous, it's bad.

IF IT IS RRIIIDDDIICCUUULLOOUUSS, then it's okay.

Have either of you guys seen the movie Inside? It just came out on DVD recently and its one of the most beautifully gorey movies I've seen as of recently. Nothing better than watching a pregnant woman being pursued by a maniac with a pair of scissors. Too bad Juno wasn't as gorey.

Ha...wow!  You do have to give it to the guy...he took a lot of time on this.  And has some funny quips.  INterestingly enough, he actually made me want to watch it, though!  :)  I'll have to check it out next time I'm at FYI.

 
Not because I agree with the "critic" in the slightest, but because I love the way Cpparker takes this, and how she reacts. Its a role model for anyone who deals with critics. That said, it was fun read :)

By the by, would you like me to hunt down this little shit and kick
his fucking ass for you? I've got a pair of broughans that could use a
good breaking-in, and that fucker sounds like a great place to
start.

I have only read it halfway but it is amazing the person found time. The person has some valid points. He may be the worst critic but if he made you think what to do in your next movie (meaning, improvements) then it will be good for you. I hope I can watch your work one day.

It is my first time to watch something here. I watched the Lure last night. I do not have time like the other guy had, but, the element of spark and attachment to the characters are missing. I do not know if my monitor was shaking but some of the scenes are shaking. There is somehow a continuity of the story but it was not delivered well. The last scene made me feel like "What?" because, why would a piece of cow's meat be shown when it could have just been the cook just chopping and you do not see what he is chopping or anything more than meets the eye. This prompted me to look for images of a human meat. Another thing, the thing on the guy's side neck is making me think. He was hit on this part and I think, blood can really flow fast in this part of the body. His shirt was still good as new in the next scene. As for the actors, they need to emote more especially the two women. 

Am sorry to say something like this about the work of another person but I think, the next work must be done way, way past than this. There are countless people wanting to make a break and in order to get in, one must really make it that good.
