iMurders (2008)

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Blistering performances.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

The Texas ladies from Texas Frightmare Weekend want to wish iMurders congratulations on the DVD release. We were fortunate enough to watch the film in May and we loved it and have been following you ever since. We love the cast of this film and our favorite roles were the detectives played by Tony Todd and Brooke Lewis. They made such a cute team and acted very well together. We were lucky to get to talk to Brooke Lewis for a bit and were pleased to see that she is just as sweet as she is pretty. We welcome you back to Texas soon and please bring Billy Dee Williams with you next time. Good luck and we are headed out to get the DVD. -Harriet

I've been meaning to write a review ever since I saw this movie at Texas Frightmare back in May (LOVED Frightmare BTW!).....and now I just heard on the radio that that it's being released this week, so although I'm a first timer on IMDb, I wanted to give my opinion on this movie.So, is this a true horror movie? Answer - NO...so at first when i started watching at the screening I have to admit I was a little annoyed - I was like "what IS this"? where's all the blood I love so much? (can you guess - I'm a horror fan).....so then I was like, fine, I'm here - might as well watch - and I'll tell you something - this movie was COOL. It did end up having some good killing scenes...so of course I was happy about that! Big note though - you gotta pay attention - There are all sorts of plots going on that tie together in the last like 10-15minutes of the movie which really kinda sealed the deal for me - LOVED that part with all the flashbacks. So in the end I really ended up enjoying this film and was glad I pushed past my initial reaction and stayed at the screening until the closing credits!

1. There is a suspense scene in the movie that stutters like watching Manos the Hands of Fate. 2. The few "big" name actors must be long out of work, makes you feel like your watching Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 from outerspace. 3. The Shills in the message boards for this flick that are reviewing it with a rating of "10" makes it that much worse. Over 50 votes for a rating of "10"...as if this movie compares to The Godfather. You will see what I mean by "SHILL" when you look at the reviewers who have posted comments on only this movie AND just so happen to registered just before the movie was released. 4. Please don't take my word for it, don't rent it just borrow it from you library where you need no support poorly made movies. I want everyone to see the movie and rate this how they see fit. Maybe soon it will surpass Manos. Maybe it could get improved by Mystery Science Theater 3000. I think this movie could become a new Meme online, something in blogs and chatrooms, when someone irks you, you could warn them of iMurders...
