Review of The Roost

The Roost (2005)
6/10
Surprisingly watchable chiller
30 November 2006
Earnest acting, a few good scares, sufficient amounts of gore, and some really creative low budget flare help this little movie rise above the fold. The movie obviously doesn't take itself too seriously which in this case works in it's favor. It's also pretty apparent that the movie makers had a ball doing this film, there are plenty of touches here and there that added some flavuh in what otherwise might be construed as a hackneyed affair. Admittedly I generally avoid low budget cheapies, but considering the constraints involved, I found it entirely compelling. Highlights include a totally over the top score which is entirely suitable, and great font! Low points - it looked as if the ending was tacked on or something.
