I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer
I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer
Looked cheap, which is always a put off. But it turned out to be OK.
So much better than the trailer led jonbly to believe... that trailer was awful.

Thanks!
We enjoyed the screening - people seemed to laugh in the right places, which was nice...
Sorry we couldn't tell the budget in the Q&A - we've been told to keep that schtum until all worldwide distribution deals are sorted (due to some distributors basing advances, royalties etc on budgets rather than potential sales).

Wish I'd made it along as it's been on my hit list since Cannes.
Trailers are tricky beasts to put together, especially before you've got a distribution deal in place. The early versions tend to be aimed more towards potential distributors/sales agents rather than the polished versions you see for the bigger projects.
Personally I liked the trailer. As far as I was concerned it told me what the film was going to be about and made me want to see it. Guess I need to wait for it to come out on DVD to find out!
Good work, voxmortis. Keep us posted on how things turn out.

Sorry, but I hated this.
There were a few good moments, like the psycho sticking nails in the crotch protector or the Jesus F-ing Christ scene, and the ending was a laugh, but I just didn't think it worked at all apart from that. It was like some feature length episode of a really dull and unfunny sitcom.
3/10

Well, I thought it was fun. Good on 'em.
Should you consider all films equally regardless of budget or production methods? Open to opinion, but I think it suffered slightly playing right after the MUCH bigger budget Eden Lake.
If it was sandwiched between Trailer Park and Bubba's Chilli, it would've played better.
Pacing in the middle slowed it down (they should think about doing a few tweaks), but I enjoyed the shower scene, deaths and weapons

Nope, sorry, this was just terrible. It's not as bad as Bubba's Chili Parlour but with that one exception it's the worst film on the programme. If you're going to do horror comedy it's got to be - it's ABSOLUTELY GOT TO BE - funny. And it isn't. It's a one-joke movie; the joke is in the title and it might be enough for a TV sketch show, because if you don't like it there'll be another sketch along in less than three minutes. Someone like The Two Ronnies might have got away with this sort of thing, but they (whatever you might think of Sorry, Clarence or Open All Hours) knew and understood comedy. IKHMRYSLS just doesn't. The bottom line is that it's just not enough material for a 75 minute feature. And technically it's not great either - for one thing the sound recording is poor, which is not helped by plastering thudding heavy rock music over it (okay, that's a pet hate of mine).
Yes, I know it's done on a budget of sixpence and string but that's no excuse; they spent a hell of a lot more on that remake of Prom Night and that was rubbish as well. There were other films in the festival put together on minute amounts of cash that overcame budgetary limitations and still managed to deliver (admittedly with varying degrees of success).

Apologies for the sound - it was distorting, no idea why, and I'm not about to whinge about it (maybe the deck it was playing off, as our test screening was fine) - will have a look at it when I get back to Aus.
Personally I love heavy rock... and as it was a homage to 80's slashers, then it was mandatory
