Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

BA_Harrison Having recently watched and thoroughly enjoyed retro-slasher Headless (2015), I immediately sought out Found (2012), where Headless began life as a 'film-within-a-film'. Like Headless, Found revolves around a psychotic killer twisted by his upbringing, but the two films couldn't be more different in style: where Headless is an all out exercise in depravity and splatter, with as much in-your-face deviancy and gore as possible, Found takes a more thoughtful and believable approach to its horror, although it proves no less shocking in the end. If anything, the fact that it all takes place in a very real world makes it even more disturbing than Headless's cartoonish excess.The film starts with young horror movie fan Marty (Gavin Brown) declaring "My brother keeps a human head in his closet": as opening gambits go, it's a corker, immediately setting the tone—one of brooding menace, slow-burn tension, and macabre horror within a seemingly normal suburban setting. We watch as Marty sneaks into his brother Steve's bedroom to look at a series of severed heads; the boy studies them with a mixture of fear and fascination, too young to fully comprehend the gravity of the situation, unsure of what course of action to take. Marty tells no-one of his discovery—that his brother is a serial killer—frightened of what might happen if Steve (Ethan Philbeck) ever found out.Of course, Steve does eventually realise that his brother knows his ghastly secret, and what follows is a gradual descent into hell, culminating in a final bloody image guaranteed to sear itself into the mind and remain there for quite some time. The film also resonated with me both as a parent and a horror fan: Steve's psychosis is the result of failed parenting—his father's bigotry, his mother's apathy, and an over exposure to violent imagery at a young age. It's made me think long and hard about how I speak to my kids, how much attention I pay to what they are doing, and what level of on-screen violence I expose them to. One thing's for sure, they're not watching August Underground's Mordum for at least a few more years.8.5/10, rounded up to 9 for IMDb.

reubenclaridge-45-785823 if you're reading this, then the chances are that you're into lower budget, independent horror films. this is a perfect example of how well a horror movie can be made on an extremely limited budget. i'll caution any (potential) viewers by stating that there is some pretty brutal violence, the vast majority of which takes place in a film within the film: HEADLESS (which has now been made and will be available on DVD/blu-ray shortly). the violence is unrelenting when it takes place, so don't dive into this film if you're sensitive to gore. having got that out of the way, the style of the film is just AMAZING!!!! its one of the few films i've watched recently that's really drawn me in. i especially loved the atmosphere, it genuinely felt like an older horror film which really added to the viewing pleasure... especially the HEADLESS film footage (a supposed 'lost film' from 1978). acting was top notch, and beats the h3ll out of the majority of modern films that have grown to depend on Hollywood stars and a multi-million dollar budget, rather than originality and the 'guts' to do something new. i must applaud Scott Schirmer, the director on managing to create such a brilliant film, and i cannot wait to watch HEADLESS (which is supposedly the most brutal and disturbing film made).

quitwhileyouareahead This is a movie that will impress some and offend others much like some of the ground breaking horror classics of the past. Will this be the next classic? I think not, although it could be a springboard for the director as it does pack a wallop. It is very effective and well done with some very good acting, at least from the two leads. I haven't decided if the adult actors are incredibly bad or if they are deliberately staged that way to emphasize the viewpoint of the younger boy who narrates through some of the scenes. I will give the director the benefit of the doubt as it otherwise would be inconsistent with his other great choices. If you can handle the sick material, it is probably a good movie to watch again as you may underrate it. I can only give it a 6 for entertainment value but then maybe I have underrated it.

elgabote I got interested with the plot line. It has good potential and it's original not only for a plain slayer, but for something more developed and even deep. But from the beginning of the movie we see how amateurish and poor are some important technical aspects of the movie. From minute one, we see a not very polished photography, saturated with excessive close shots and a lack of creativity on framing them. Also the sound and lighting could have a lot of improvement. The worst part (and for what I've read, it bothered most of the people) was the acting. It's quite cheesy and overacted from most of the characters in the movie. I liked the main character, the kid, and the one I really liked in the role was the old brother, the killer. All the rest of actors felt very fake and a lot of the lines they were saying and lots of scenes were really cheesy (sometimes felt like trying to resemble or honour comics or 80's movies, maybe, but it wasn't clear and I didn't enjoy it). I know it's a low budget movie, but still this are actually the aspects that indie movies should take care the most, as it all depends on the creativity and skills of the director and the actors, and not in post production and expensive special effects. I got over all this because I was interested in the story, and it worth the while. It's not an amazing story, but still original and refreshing, not because it's nice maybe, it's quite gory and disturbing. But maybe all the credit is on the novel in which the movie is based... There's a few boring slow paced scenes, but it all adds up to the feeling on the story. Not a bad movie, but feels like it could be so much better.Good story, poor acting (most of actors except the two brothers, let's be fair with them!), fair/poor photography and sound, directing and writing could be better... Still, even saying it's an amateurish movie and with all it's flaws, it's still interesting and it's not painful to watch.
