Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Yes this is a below average slasher copy flick, but it DOES feature the semi-legendary Rutger Hauer AND it has just recently been revealed in the Denver metropolitan area that one of the original financers of this film is Steve Atwater--potential hall of famer Denver Bronco's safety and one of the cast members is legendary Denver Bronco cornerback Ray Crockett!For long time fans of the Denver Broncos, this is more than enough to establish this near-forgotten movie as a cult classic! If you love the Broncos, you owe it to your fandom status to watch this movie!

This film is an incredibly mixed bag of a horror movie. It is y scenes, but not enough of them to actual credit the movie with good writing. The opening is pretty stupid, and feels like something a 12 year old would think up as a scary opening.A huge problem with this movie that goes against slasher formula, is that none of the women are good looking at all. Normally they are just cast to look nice on screen and less for their actual acting ability. However, the women in this movie are neither good looking, or able to act.Rutger Hauer is in the movie for around 10 minutes worth, though he does not really move the plot forward at all. It felt more like he owed someone a favor and was written into the film to reach a larger viewing base. He does a decent enough job with having no good dialogue. He just intensely stares into the camera, which is scarier than any of the actual horror moments the film presents.After the initial characterizations, when the killer finally shows up, the film really gets going. The special effects are not that good, but it still presents us with enough fun to make it memorable. I had a good time watching this movie and if you are a fan of slashers, this will definitely pass the time. Has a nice conclusion as well.The Good- Fun slasher, decent enough gore, some funny moments, ending.The Bad- ugly people, below average acting, bad opening scene.--- Note: The original name of the movie is '7eventy 5ive'. If you look carefully, you will see that number in various places throughout the film.

There are times when you want a horror movie to be genuinely frightening ---if this is one of those times for you, you might want to hang up on Dead Tone. It's just not that type of slasher. It's more of the get-a- bunch-of-your-friends-together-throw-stuff-at-the-screen-and-play- drinking-games kind of a slasher.I've never thought ultra-graphic horror was that frightening...in movies, that is, especially on-a-budget outings like this. Kind of like the shark in Jaws, the closer you get to it, the less horrific it seems. The killer in Dead Tone wears a hooded ski parka and wields an axe, so the kills are violent, but you see them coming for seconds before they hit. From that point on, it's just a matter of how bad the effects suck.Still, Dead Tone ain't a total snooze. Given the lack of thrills, marginal to bad acting, and zero character development, all that's really left to make this watchable is "how serious are the directors taking this?" Turns out, not very...and that's good.There's the standard rest-stop sequence, where the "crew" (a multi-culti Benneton crew, of course) stops to take a bathroom break, and that whole scene --- toothless redneck from hell clerk, mega-blasted "fright" music cues at the stupidest moments --- really works. When this film is lampooning the genre and itself, it's the best and brightest.Sadly, though, those moments are few and far between. There are a lot of visual and scripted call-backs to other, better slashers (Urban Legend, Black Christmas, etc.) that prove the filmmakers weren't just rubes. But they didn't quite have a handle on what they wanted to do, and the film as a whole suffers for it. Oh yeah, a postscript: Rutger Hauer is the brand-name star here, playing the usual doggerel cop role, and looking barely engaged enough to make camera contact. One mystery at least solved: I wondered how he managed to tumble down the long road to something like the rancid "Hobo With a Shotgun"...this is a telling detour.

This is one of the best horror and slasher flicks I've ever seen! I watched it with my friends, and i couldn't get enough. I never saw anything coming and it totally kept me sucked in every single time. I've watched it twice, and i plan to watch it a 3rd time. I barley ever give movies 10 out of 10, but this was really good. A little gory, so i don't recommend it for little kids. But overall it was a really great movie. If you haven't watched it already, i really recommend you do. There are some great actors, and some sad deaths, but pick a favorite and hope they make it to the end!!! Very good acting, very good actors, very good quality, and a lot of hard work. I would love to see a 2nd one, but it was made like 4 years ago so i doubt there will be another one, but this movie is wonderful guys! Watch it, love it, rate it 10! Thanks for reading my review!
