Porter’s Crossings Online Review–Forty Eight Hour

December 2nd, 2009 in Movies, Music, Reviews, Suspense -

I love forty eight hour movies.  That’s why I offered up bounty for them back in October.  See, a forty eight hour movie is a movie shot in forty eight hours–I know, kind of self-explanatory, but hey!

Anyway, this particular forty eight hour title involves a psychotic antique dealer who gets a little too big a thrill out of dealing…but what he’s dealing in is death.

I applaud anyone who can string together a movie in rapid fashion in just forty eight hours, but this movie gravely overestimates its three song soundtrack.  I never heard so much Kool and the Gang blasted at me in one place in, well, ever.  And frankly, it had a way of getting in the way of the movie itself.  it was just too distracting.

But aside from that, it wasn’t a bad little movie, a little confusing and very much hindered by its soundtrack, so the Screenhead Ten Scale’s willing to give it a slightly damaged four out of ten.  Nice try, fellas–better luck next time.
