iMurders (2008)

I'm a fan of the soaps, so I picked this movie up because of Terri and Frank. I thought the title was cheesy and wasn't expecting too much but any chance I can see Frank especially, I'm in.Enjoyed the funny scenes with Terri and the landlady but was disappointed that there wasn't more chemistry between Frank and Terri, their relationship seemed to move pretty fast.I really liked the Frank/FBI stuff and didn't even realize that candyman was in the movie. That was a bonus.Thought the idea of the script and the way the characters were tied together in the end was excellent which is why I gave this a good rating."i" only wish they would have picked a different title.

I only gave this movie a 4 because it had Tony Todd in it. This story was beyond predictable to anyone that is a fan of this genre. William Forsythe took a role that was beneath him and his poor acting showed it, otherwise the established actors in this movie did a great job. That can't be said for the rest of the cast. It was a poorly done story that did not give finality to some some people and no decent background to others. The relationships in the movie were unrealistic for the most part. They chose to do a close-up shot on an actress with yellow teeth, which grossed me out. Whoever made this movie, kudos for getting the established actors, shame on you for casting William Forsythe in a role he is not suited for and go back to school to learn about making a good movie and telling a story well.

First of all let me say that the people who are claiming this to be unoriginal. You need to take into consideration that this film was in the creative process way before a lot of the similar movies. That being said, I think this is a great flick. I bought my copy to support the indie film, because everyone gets their start somewhere and I think iMurders was a great kick-off to Robbie Bryan's career. I loved the movie, it was sort of predictable as to who the killer was, but there were plenty of others that easily COULD have been the "Facespace" killer. I give this movie a thumbs-up. I really enjoyed the story and the cast. I didn't see the motive coming at all, and I loved that. I strongly suggest seeing this film if you are a horror fan or indie fan. My only real issue with the film was that there were so many characters with complex backgrounds that we couldn't really get their whole story into 1 1/2. But I did love the back stories, none-the-less.

Maybe the worst part of this movie is it isn't so bad as to be unintentionally funny, but it's close.(Charles Durning's psychiatric sessions bring bad acting to a new level). The only suspense in the plot is how some pretty good actors managed to get into this embarrassment of a film. Let's start with William Forsythe, the college professor, who we are suppose to believe much younger attractive women are drawn too. Only in a fat middle aged man's fantasy world could that be true. And this movie. Nothing in this movie is very believable. I feel bad about pointing out just one persons bad acting when there are so many, but Brooke Lewis' performance as the FBI agent is the most frightening thing in the this 'horror' movie. It looks worse next to Tony Todd's performance as her partner who is actually quite good making her look all the worse. The bad plot(you'll know who did it in the first 15 minutes) and acting gets overshadowed by a terrible script. Maybe its a situation where a director falls in love with his own words. Worse dialog you have never heard. Maybe no actor could do a good performance given what they had to work with. So if you are stuck seeing it see it for laughs and maybe you won't feel so bad about wasting two hours of your life.
