Best movie ever!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

So I went into watching this film, thinking it'll be a great original horror film. I was wrong. It's not an original concept, it's like a saw/fear rip off. It did have a few scares in and was original in the sense of the flesh eating vampire/cannibals. It was well written to an extent. The cast's acting complimented each other, and the characters fit together like a glove. The location looked great with the film, I's love to visit there myself! All in all, you should watch it yourself, to get your own opinion, you might like it. I think it's the kind of film, which would only be watched the once, not several times. @RebeccaKLxo

"The Task" seemed at first like a good movie, albeit somewhat formulaic - the characters seemed played and written quite enthusiastically, although they still were archetypal characters.Unfortunately although there's some sense of fun during scenes focusing on the contestants and crew members, the horror aspect is handled somewhat poorly - it has slow pacing without the atmosphere or suspense that makes slow burn horror effective.There's also not much here that would satisfy gorehounds - partially because little happens plot-wise for large portions of runtime, but also because these kills aren't very imaginative - generally stabbings and such.It's still not terrible, its just lacking strength in any particular area that would make the film worthwhile. However, for anyone who's the obscure "School of Horror", "The Task" should be quite familiar, yet more subtle. Its almost Afterdark's best movie this year but falls short.

I'm almost tempted to give this 8 stars, I enjoyed it so much. I saw it edited, on ChillerTV, but it stands so far above 90% of the slasherfest and other crap they air that I saved it to my DVR and will doubtless watch it again. The story was lightweight, sure, but consistent, and I found the pacing very good. While there wasn't a huge investment in setting up the characters, you got a rough idea of who each one was without them all being the same-old same-old. The supernatural-or-is-it theme is one of my favorites, and this is a prime, if low-budget, example. The gore was well-placed and less-gruesome than it could be, which was fabulous, because splatter for splatter's sake is not my idea of quality filmmaking. I loved the fact that the contestants in the ersatz gameshow worked together instead of being pitted against one another as in so many of these like-themed films. I like this movie!

This is Alex Orwell's first attempt to deliver a horror. And being noticed by After Dark it should mean that you made something special. For me it wasn't anything special. The acting was a bit mediocre to me and sometimes unbelievable and in fact it took a while before the movie really started. But it's so strange that it was noticed by After Dark because it contains a few editing mistakes. There is a shot were a body is sitting in a chair in a gas chamber presumably dead but when we see a close up you see her chest moving due breathing. That's for me a failure. But it goes even further. When one body is hanging upside down and his throat is being slashed they make a close-up of the blood dripping on the ground, a few shots further the blood has gone and in one shot the killer do has blood of the victim on him, next shot when the mutants arrive it's gone. Man, these are really blunders made into the genre.It isn't scary or even bloody or messy, it's a bit to tame for that. Only the twist at the end makes it worth watching because you can't see that one coming.it's so strange that I didn't get into the characters because the actors aren't unknown in the genre, Ashley Mulheron for example played in The Lesbian Vampire Killers and I enjoyed that one a lot.I'm intending to see all 8 flicks out there in the After Dark series but this was the worst so far and I have seen 4 of them so far.
