Summary: Here's what film critcs have to say
Review: "An outrageous, inspired satire... pertinent and enough to deserve much wider, more accessible play" -- Kevin Thomas, LA TIMES

"Writer-director Mark Weidman cleverly subverts audience expectations" -- Chuck Wilson, LA WEEKLY

"The movie blurs film-within-a-film narrative, filmmaking in-jokes and cartoon violence. I liked its audacity and got the jokes... enjoyed the ride!" -- Allen White, FILMTHREAT ONLINE (www.filmthreat.com)

"One of the festival's standouts... a breathless, funny, inventive film" -- Gary Morris, SAN FRANCISCO WEEKLY

"Part self-reflective road movie, part eye-candy, the narrative is a finely stitched patchwork masterpiece. Every battle divides winners and losers, KILLER FLICK emerges from this one gloriously triumphant." -- Marlene Friis, SAN FRANCISCO INDIEFEST

"An American indie-film of the most energetic kind! More than just a low-budget road movie full of action, the clever script holds some slick gags -- Tarantino style -- a handful of action-racketing a la Robert Rodriguez and a dash of absurd irony." -- Mikko Aromaa, ESPOO CINE FILM FESTIVAL, Finland

Summary: Filmmakers or thieves?
Review: Great cast, decent film...unfortunately the filmmakers (Mark Weidman and Chip Smith) failed to live up to their contractual obligations. The tag line for this film tells audiences that the characters would do anything - even kill - to get their movie made. Sadly, the director and producer used the same logic in getting their film made. Except that instead of killing - they just lied and cheated. Just when you thought there was a heart in Hollywood, these con-men prove otherwise.

Make big promises, fail to deliver on those promises. These guys were so intent on getting their movie made that they made commitments to investors that they never bothered to satisfy once they got the film in the can and got their money back. Bottom line: they lied. Contracts with investors which promised that their investment would be paid FIRST, before any profits were realized from the making of the film, were completely ignored. For as you see, the film has been released, and now available on DVD...so someone, somewhere is getting paid. But that person getting the checks is NOT this investor.

And then they have the stones to stop returning calls?? To me, that's a thief...not a filmmaker. My suggestion to potential KILLER FLICK customers is that you don't pay a penny to buy or rent this film.

Where's my $20,000.00 boys?
