CommentsXp Best movie ever!

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Leofwine_draca ...nonsense you'll have seen in a while. DEADTIME is an affront to the British film industry, a total waste of time and money for all involved (not talent though, because there's no talent gone into this) and one of the very worst films I've seen in a good while. I always seem to be saying that, but this really is poverty row stuff, with no redeeming values whatsoever.The 'storyline' sees the talentless members of a music group set up shop in a rambling old mansion ready for a new shoot. While there they fall prey to a masked, knife-wielding maniac who offs them one by one. Even worse, the psycho killer may well be one of their own, killing them due to one unknown grievance or another.To say that this is poor is to understate matters, because it doesn't get any worse than this. We get acting that ranges between the stilted and the completely over the top, with no middle ground. The narrative that involves characters pairing up and going off to have sex before being slaughtered in unappealing death scenes. There's unpleasant sexual violence, some absolutely awful CGI gore effects, and a couple of one-scene cameos from Terry Christian and Leslie Grantham apiece. It's an amateur hour production that should be avoided at all costs.

Mathias Dubois I really have to break a lance for this highly underrated movie. Deadtime is an amusing slasher that picks up the tradition of the genre, as established somewhere between the 70's. It doesn't ask to be taken seriously for one second and features some decent performances and dialogs. Although the story and sceneries aren't shy to refer to classics of the genre, it features a very own twist and thus escapes the trap of being a single patchwork of past successes. the music is good, the figures quite believable as a Rock'n'Roll band and they are obviously having lost of fun in the production. The effects are decent on regard of this being a low budget production and I really had quite some fun.Now a little word on the side: obviously, many people rated this movie with one or two stars out of ten: these people should take a moment and think about how much worse many productions are and this also include some high budget ones. If this movie deserves the lowest note, we would have to introduce an additional minus scale for some other movies, so I can't take any judgment seriously that doesn't give it at least 3 stars. (Besides I suspect that some puritan crusaders are just spending their free time cruising IMDb to give any horror movie the lowest rating, regardless of its quality).

a-degroot I'm sorry but found Deadtime very much an entertaining movie! This Shocker! Rocker movie ticks all the right boxes and some, it's quite funny in parts too. With a couple of interesting cameo performances particularly from Leslie(Eastenders)Grantham, Terry Christian and Joe (Sherlock Holmes)Egan who all add to the mix of this delicious BLOODY yarn. The basic story line is a rock band well past its sell by date and now a burden to its record company, are giving one more chance to make good on their contract. So are sent to a warehouse to shoot a promo for their forthcoming musical release, which they hope will resurrect their careers. Unfortunately the desolate location is a 'Psychos wet dream' and all hell breaks loose when a murderer decides to join the shoot. It's Brutal, Bloody, British Indie Movie Extraordinaire, for starters the budget wouldn't even cover the transport taxis on a Hollywood movie. Bearing that in mind this movie is a triumph on many levels firstly it pays homage to the slasher genre credibly, its full of fast, fun and furious BLOODY frolics. Not to the mention the Blood and Guts and there is lots of it! Did I mention its gore? It was rumourer that it even had to be censored at a R rating due to some really gruesome Killings in the movie, what bloodier than this? Well the D.V.D extras may be worth a look at if you fancy even more blood. Before I start slating the movie or its actors which a lesser more cynical, malicious or possibly even agenda driven critic might to choose to. It's worth mentioning the performances are both credible and believable for the genre with some exceptions of lesser characters. That blip aside Jimmy the bands manager played by (CarlColeman)the lead fronts the film with refreshing honesty as an Idealist who loves music, but not the industry and believes in his band. Anji his girl friend (Elizabeth Shalavi) adds a bit of comedic northern spice to the mix and not forgetting Zac (Laurence Saunders) who's performance is also witty and sharp. This trio all shine above the rest, also the castings of Carl Coleman and Elizabeth Shalavi movie are bold as they are refreshing both leads are black think (Hunger Games) but this shouldn't be about race but end results. So leave your brains(PUN) at the door, get the beers, snacks, popcorn in and have a good night in and believe you me, it's highly likely you will enjoy this movie. My only criticism is it should have been released for HALLOWEEN!

malconnor12 I got this yesterday and read all the reviews this morning and thought I'd say my own little bit.I have to agree with it on some points,the first being the acting. In places the acting is horrendous and I don't see how some of these people were cast. Notably,the females. All of them were awful and I was actually angry that two of the worst survived,but at the same time relieved one of them was stabbed.  The leading man (i think he's the band manager jimmy) was dreadful,he made me cringe where I can sometimes turn a blind eye and have a snigger but he seemed completely out of his depth and would have been much better in a badly acted porno.  I think some of the performances,because the worst actors seem to be on screen more it drags the others down. Fear not thou as there are some great performances from some unseen gems like the twisted lead singer Zac, the shirtless thug Mike and the Comically camp Nigel! Not forgetting the entertaining, yet short lived role of the studio owner with the yellow teeth. These guys keep the film alive and make you realise it's not all that bad. I Just wished they had more screen time as the worst actors were over used.There was some nice cameos as well, most notably the horrible 'Dirty Den' from Eastenders who played a quick yet effective role.The film dragged, much too long and could have easily finished 15 minutes early. Once the killer was revealed it just dragged and dragged with some annoying girl running round like a headless chicken (would have been lovely to see such an annoying actress meet a grizzly death).The soundtrack is brilliant for an independent film. I really enjoyed the music although one track was over used time and time again to create suspense, it was great first time I heard it but I felt myself saying 'not again' when hearing it again. The bands song is very catchy and entertaining.The locations were great, and for a small budget production they utilised them for effectively. Talking about small budget, you can see this from the blood and guts as 95% of it is CGI, and in some parts its noticeable but still good considering.Overall, I take my hats off to all involved including the bad performers as they often make an entertaining bad horror movie. I wouldn't watch it again but things like this are always worth watching for a quick laugh.
