So I watched Nothing Left To Fear. It is very very average. Its a generic horror movie and while it's not a bloody movie, it relies way too heavily on CGI. I think it could have been a decent horror movie, but it just did not come together. The highlight of the cast is Clancy Brown. He was great, but the rest of the cast was largely ineffective.
One of the highlights of the DVD was the making of featurette. It runs about 15 minutes and Slash is heavily involved in it and its clear that he was passionate about the project which is cool.
Anyone else see this yet?
Yeah, I saw it tonight. By dubbing it average, you're giving it more credit than I would. The writing was bad, and the directing was amateurish with a lot of shaky camera work and bad angles. The CGI looked like shit like most low budget (and high budget for that matter) CGI does.
I'm not going to be too hard on the actors since the script was pure shit; they weren't given anything to work with. I concur that Clancy Brown had the best role and he chewed the scenery -- reminding me of how his performance in PET SEMATARY 2 was the only thing that kept me watching that steaming turd 'til the end. Given the veteran status of Anne Heche, I was surprised to see her wasted in such a useless, underwritten role.
The blonde teen actress had nice boobs. The musical score was good, not surprising since Slash co-composed it. The title song was fantastic, though I'm not sure what the title NOTHING LEFT TO FEAR actually has to do with this movie. There were definitely some tense, eerie scenes, but the film was overall poorly constructed and took wayyyyy too long to deliver anything even close to satisfying, which it ultimately never does anyway.
Slash's comments on the featurette were more interesting than anything in the film. Everyone else on the featurette was blowing a lot of hot air about how great and "beautiful" this film was, including Clancy Brown who compared this film to ROSEMARY'S BABY and SISTERS!
Having said all that, I'm all about supporting Slash so I'll keep watching anything he produces. I just hope his next effort is better.
