Maybe I watched a different movie than all the others cause this was total garbage!! Really poor acting, the story was ridiculus and all the reactions too. I can't believe I spent 80 minutes for this movie. What a waste of time!!
FLYTRAP is a cheap little indie thriller with some sci-fi and some comedy aspects. Most of it plays out on just a couple of sets. It's about an Englishman in Los Angeles who finds himself kidnapped by some oddball characters with mysterious intentions. Like most indies, it's dialogue-heavy, but Jeremy Crutchley seems is quite charming as the lead and his presence makes this a bit better than most similar indies.
I was bizarrely interested in continuing to watch this crazy sci-fi thriller. Jeremy Crutchley certainly carried the film while Ina-Alice Kopp played his stoic captor nicely. Stephen David Brooks truly showed how to make an indie film; keeping the cast small and locations minimal. He left the rest to the indie look cinematography and SFX. Score was nice too. Enjoyed.
A Must-See! This movie is just down-right great. Without huge actors, the acting is awesome. The writing is superb. The directing is fantastic. The budget is low, but it doesn't feel like a low-budget film. Imagine what this director will do with a real budget. It's entertaining, not boring and at times has its light moments.This should become the pass-the-word movie to see. The story centers around an English professor who gets a job at UCLA and has heard all kinds of things about "L.A." and isn't sure if the world he enters is some kind of new production company set. It's sensual and delves into the human relationship. Clever writing. SEE IT! Music is great too.
