One of my all time favorites.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

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

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

OK, I jumped at renting this movie, when it came available on DVD, the cover looked interesting and the synopsis sounded decent. Got news for everyone, the movie is basically a sociopath porcupine-human hybrid with romantic tendencies meets a straight-couple, a gay-couple, and decides to go Hamlet on them all, accidentally of course.Seriously, I am totally blown away with all the 9-and-10 star ratings, which are by a preponderance of females, talking about it like it is the movie 'Ghost', or something. Heads up, it is no more scary than someone's brother in a Halloween suit, lurking outside his neighbor's daughter's window, promising not to kill her parents if she will only come out to him.This movie gets a 3 for decent cinematography and somewhat decent acting. As for the movie script, continuity, or scares - rent Ghostbusters, it is scarier.P.S.: This is what most honest people would rate this movie, and more- than-fair from a guy who finds Resident-Evil an excellent 'average- scare' zombie flick.

I recently saw Spike in Los Angeles and thought that it was an absolutely beautiful film. Robert Beaucage creates an entire world that both the audience and the characters can get lost in. I think it was an inspired love story that showed both the best and worst of its characters.I particularly enjoyed Ed Gusts performance as the title character. I think that he showed real sensitivity and heart ache through out the movie.The best part comes at the end. I won't completely give it away, but it was a tender moment that would move the hardest of hearts. Because it does have touching moments and is essentially a love story, the film is far more complex than a typical horror. It has blood, certainly, but it also has heart.

This film creatively blurs the line between a wicked fairytale and the human reality of relationships and love lost. A much needed diversion from the gore/extreme violence that has taken over the horror genre. Make no mistake though this film is dark and there is a scene or two that may have you looking away but the brief brutality only adds to the emotional roller coaster that the characters are taking you on. Truly amazing that this was entirely shot in Angeles National Forest. You see much more elaborate sets for not nearly this amount of drama and design! A Gothic romance at its true best! We can expect great things from Robert and his decidedly dark vision of love and life!

This was a great movie. Dark, mysterious and entertaining. Just perfect. The characters were well developed. The plot was a okay, but definitely entertaining. The photography was great. The use of light, or lack thereof, was extremely creative and helped make the movie even more suspenseful. The acting was believable and well done. The storyline was well thought-out and took the audience on a journey.Some of the small technical problems can obviously be worked out as it seems that the movie is still in the final stages. The director (Robert Beaucage)even said that the movie hadn't been seen before, even by the cast. I'm not sure most were prepared for this film when they went to see it, but most of the audience at the Edinburgh Festival enjoyed this film.Beaucage incorporated some very original methods that pulled this film together. Several of the scenes are still having me rethink some of the techniques that he implemented. I really would love to see a final version and another film from this young director.
