Exhumed

Amazing Piece of Noir Film Making
*********************************MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*******************************************************************
Scorpio Films Releasing is famous for doing comedic horror films that are often outrageous and always entertaining. On this film they decided to go with a straight psychological horror film that delves into the minds of people slowing going mad. The film centers around the last 5 members of a cult that believed that the outside was poison and the only way to survive was to stay in select houses. Almost the entire film is shot in the last house the cult has. Inside the house the world has stopped for them. Each character deals with the stagnation in their own way. Due to financial issues the group ahs to allow an outsider to move into the house and his arrival starts the final descent. Excellently cast with Debbie Rochon as the Governess with Michael Thurber as the Butler the defacto leaders. Sarah Nicklin plays Laura the daughter of the cult founders who died...

Intelligent and powerful, not a normal horror film.
I rented this from Bl*ckb*st*r first because I knew this was a lot different from Richard Marr-Griffin's other films. It was in black & white and didn't aim for laughs along with the shocks. After one watch through I placed my order. It is excellent filmmaking. It is disturbing and very thoughtful. Calling it a horror film would be doing a disservice to the film and to potential viewers. It is not a slasher/supernatural shock fest. It is a slow burn which raises a lot of questions that you won't find quick and easy answers for. If you want a dumb horror/gore flick you have lots of options out there. If you want something that stays in your brain, buy Exhumed now. Debbie Rochon and Michael Thurber take the lead with Rochon offering spurts of crazed violence while Thurber is much more restrained, you get the feeling that his character doesn't really like what he does, but he does it all the same, knowing that he will eventually be held accountable. Sarah Nicklin and Michael...

Solid Indie Horror Flick
When I saw the rating of this movie I was a little surprised.

I saw "exhumed" at the premiere and bought the DVD. I thought
it was a very solid indie horror. Richard Griffin did a fine
job directing a solid indie cast. Ken Willinger did a fantastic
job as Cinematographer. I thought it was one of the better indie
horror films I'd seen in awhile.

The story is paced well and the acting is very solid. Evalena Marie
did a solid job as the lead Rocki. And horror icon Sarah Nicklin
was awesome as usual. Michael reed and Michael Thurber also stood out.

I think people are less patient with low budget indies. And it's sport to
trash them. But if you want to go into a movie like Exhumed and want to
enjoy it you will. If you just want to blast a movie because it doesn't have
big stars and a million dollar budget it doesn't matter if it's solid.
You will just find some reason to kill it.

I like Griffin's...
