Survival (2006)

Survival: Directed by Joe Francis. With Don Prentiss, Vanelle, Ian C. King, Matt McClure. There are terrible people in the woods, not quite crazed redneck, not quite insane cannibalistic maniac, not quite a chainsaw wielding skin wearing gram pa’s boy. This time it’s a pair of psychotic siblings, who love to capture and torture their prey. Using physical and psychological torture methods, they bring their victims to the very edge of sanity, then release them back into the wooded area that surrounds their home with only two instincts intact: killing and survival.

“Two guys, a case of beer, a rubber mask and a Hi8 camera came together one night in a maelstrom of drunken hi-jinx to put together a world renowned short film masterpiece which catapulted a young would be filmmaker into a new visionary of independent film. Nobody is saying that Joe Franks and his first feature film u0026quot;Survivalu0026quot; are the next best thing since sliced bread. But one can not deny the heart, blood and sweat that went into the making of this VERY low budget and time constrained production by all those involved in its making. How many would be filmmakers actually succeed in pulling off a project like this, and how many get discouraged during production and call it quits. I applaud the entire crew for their works. And to add a little icing to the cake, the movie is actually pretty good! Iu0026#39;m no movie critic, at least not until EW calls me back, but I have seen Hollywood rim the toilet and drop some crap into our laps that would make u0026quot;Survivalu0026quot; seem like u0026quot;Forrest Gump.u0026quot; Keep an open mind and give it a chance and I think you will be pleasantly surprised by the fun that can be had watching this film.”
