"Tied to the desk" takes on a new meaning
in this refreshing, low budget indie mix of revenge horror, slasher, and murder mystery from down under - co-writer Anthony O'Connor calls Redd Inc. (2012) ( Inhuman Resources ) ( Redd Inc ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.4 Import - Australia ] an "office giallo tribute". The plot is rather tight and well-paced, with several twists and turns to keep you interested through 90 minutes, offering different perspectives for a murder case and the undesired results of subsequent conviction on shaky grounds that manifest in a crazy assignment and killing spree, just because those involved (detective/prosecution, eyewitnesses, defence, judge) did a flimsy job at it earlier.
Add to that ample blood and gore, the design and execution of which were overseen by Tom Savini, and professional camera work. The acting, especially that of Nicholas Hope with his RP accent in the leading role, is well above the average, with...
Bought this on a whim..
I saw this randomly at Target the other day and bought this not knowing anything about this movie... and considered how disappointed I was with some of the other Fangoria releases... ugh, pig hunt... and seeing that Tom Savini was the gore effects producer... i figured I would give it a shot.
I'm actually pleased that I picked up this flick. The story is actually kind of interesting and I sort of liked the whacked out ending.
The acting is actually not bad for a slasher movie, the writing is sometimes even clever, the gore is nasty, I liked the main character, the movie is well-filmed and there are actually a few scary moments.
Some good chase sequences, some good action scenes, plenty of blood... it gave me what I want in a slasher movie.
I've been so disappointed with slashers lately, that it's been awhile since I've seen a direct to DVD one that actually had something decent to bring to the table.
I don't want to ruin anything,...
InHuman Resources Review
I watched this on Amazon on demand. I wasn't sure what to expect. I enjoyed the story and the overall study of all the characters. The only downfall is, I didnt think the gore and effects where up to peak levels. Other than this reason I found it to be a pretty good low budget production. The movie kept my attention all the way to the end. I am looking foward to purchasing this little ditty.
