Exiled: The Chosen Ones (2024)
The film should be Exiled
I watched Spring Lakes from the same cast and crew and found it very lacklustre. So i wanted to give these guys another chance and watched this film. Again, the same people giving 10/10 reviews for Spring Lakes are here again giving 10/10 reviews again, whom i can only assume are the cast and crew themselves. Very shameful if this is the case. The film is not anywhere near the reviews given. Maybe we have been watching 2 different films. The 'Gameshow' theme is very poor and not clearly explained. The 2 random snipers lack the basic acting experience. Camera quality is extremely poor, with constant shaking and juddering. The fight scenes are absolutely abysmal - different camera angles do not make a poor fight scene any better - almost even worse. And the cheap props that have been used is totally laughable. Obviously we know bones and skeletons cannot be real, but its clear as day the bones are cheap plastic pieces. I've seen better halloween props in walmart. A total waste of time all round for those involved and viewers alike.
Spring Lakes (2023)
Not all that it seems
I'm a true supporter of indys. However, when you can clearly see cast and crew rating their own movie 10/10, then it goes to show the calibre of the film before watching it. The film itself should do the talking. Its the same with all the films from this cast and crew, reviewing their own work. Honestly, the film lacked a sense of direction with a confused storyline. It seems the focus shifted more towards the over the top and somewhat laughable acting at times rather than having a good story to follow, but they both needed more investment. 2 stars out of 10 for the effort. Otherwise i'd recommend they stick to their day job.
