Redd Inc. (2012)

So,where I got the idea of reviewing a crappy Horror Channel thriller like Inhuman Resources,I don't know,while I was reviewing Cube,it kind of just came to me,did anybody else have that feeling,that this was like Cube..anyway,Inhuman Resources,or also known as Redd. Inc,is about a bunch of strangers who are strapped to a desk in front of a computer and forced to write like an SA or something and if they refuse..they die..and if you do something wrong,you get a cut across the face..was'int it? Anyway,so obviously,Redd. Inc is nothing special,its a crappy horror film with lots of gore that hopes,somewhere,it will premiere on TV on a crappy channel like Sony Channel and maybe even spawn its own DVD produced by a crappy company like Signature..ha,but I actually admire Redd. Inc,its one of the cool,low budget horror films,now,if this did not have all the horrible gore in it as well as the cheesy lines where the guy like repeats hes gonna kill the villain and just as hes saying that sentence the villain like,cuts his head off or something,this could be a rather good horror film. Redd. Inc is a OK horror film with a bit too much gore and maybe a bit too much "i'm gonna kill you" scenes,but otherwise..ya,rather good. Stay tuned guys,Halloween is not over yet so get ready for still some classics like Rosemary's Baby,The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as well as the new Jigsaw,which will be up on Sunday and I will try to review The Ritual soon,but probably will be after Halloween due to it not being in my local cinema or online

Redd is the title character, a man presumed to be an axe murderer at an office building. It begins with a news report of a killing spree with a manager who has supposedly gone postal by hacking up workers on the job. Next up, a young lady logs online and strips for a client in a sex chat room. Annabelle is then abducted and wakes up in a room, chained to a desk table with four other people. Mr. Redd shows up and explains to them that they will be fed by him, but in the meantime he gives them binders of his trial to transcribe while they are to prove his innocence. At every transgression, they are marked on the forehead with a hook at the end of Redd's fake arm. Tom Savini provides the gore effects, which are frequent, but the problem is the ridiculous story line. It never makes any sense, and competent actors are given a silly plot. It starts out somewhat promising with a darkly funny Nicholas Hope initially delivering some funny lines, but it all goes downhill rapidly. Avoid Redd Inc, it is a badly thought out movie.

I just finished watching the movie. It wasn't one of those serious slasher films. Even though I've seen innumerable horror movies, the movie still made me cringe. It is sure to make some of the audience want to cover their eyes during some killing scenes, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The movie was explicit about showing minor yet disturbing enough torture scenes, but seemed to deliberately censor the major ones, which is understandable given the fact that it wasn't meant to be a torture movie. The gore is not over the top and it is only there to contribute to the story progression. It is more of a detective movie, mixed with some joker-type madness, which slightly takes away from the seriousness of the violent scenes, and somehow makes you keep watching even if it makes you uncomfortable. You're going to watch a bunch of people trapped in a single location trying to work their way out. This means much of your time will be spent watching the characters have lengthy conversations with one another in order to solve a murder case. The movie is a mix of detective, torture, and comedy genres. I'm not into comedy movies, but it kind of made this movie more appealing. If it didn't have that funny feeling to it, I might have got bored due to it resembling many other movies of this type. I must say the story is very original and that alone makes this movie worth watching, although I'm pretty sure for most of you out there it's going to be a one-time watch only.

This film was quite well done and with great special effects by Tom Savini, the movie is really good. The story has some similarities to some of the SAW movies with its kidnap/torture scenes, but thats where the similarities stop as it gets you guessing and thinking that maybe Redd is not the killer. But you can never rule him out after the things he does to his kidnapped victims. Nicholas Hope (who also starred in BAD BOY BUBBY) plays the role of the disgruntled boss very well, you want to hate him but with the underlying fact that he may be innocent, you also want to believe him. So you are torn between what looks like the truth and what could be the a lie. There is a bit of a twist to it but if you look for the clues you can almost work it out before you get to it. But apart from that this is a great little movie. I give it a solid 8 out of 10. Recommended.
