How sad is this?
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
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.
I always like to mention in my reviews that I am a fan of independent films, of which this is.If you need big Hollywood budgets and well known actors and actresses in order to enjoy a movie, this may not be for you. But for those of you who are interested in something different, this is worth giving a chance.This movie is of a sci-fi thriller nature. It also has black comedy elements. It's told in non-linear fashion, which is always a plus for me. I hate formula.It's paced nicely. Moves along well and is a good bit of film making!
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.
