The 13th Unit (2014)

best movie i've ever seen.

An Exercise In Nonsense

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

This is a claustrophobic film, made with a lot of effort, loving their work and VERY little, to ZERO budget. It has an excellent premise, and fairly executed for the almost non existent budget that it is fully noticed the movie had.Good performances from actors, with interesting characters, although there is always some idiotic character that have idiotic decisions which bring death.It has an interesting twist as key point: It isn't the creature who you should must be afraid ... but what do the creature "make" do. The point of an almost isolated, dark place, with strange sounds and things locked, a place that scare us, where there is not way out. is well used: the atmosphere is the most important thing here, you don't need to see, but imagine from expressions and noises.... and the "emissaries" of the creature do their work very hard (you have to see the movie to know that I say)Good end, but predictable, at least for me. I waited around more shocking nut there.I am not fond to the low budget films, but this one deserves it. No guts and good CGI monsters is need to be scary. I've seen films of very good quality effects, and very expensive to make that are "terror" (read ironically).Very low budget, eager work from all crew, good performances and good atmosphere. Is all that it takes to make a good movie. 8/10

Sigh...I'm about to give up on horror movies. REALLY. I try to find something original...something scary...but I really can't remember the last thing I watched that was truly great as far as horror. OKAY wait...SINISTER! That was a good film...oh great...I'm rambling again.Okay...the 13th unit. Not great. Low budget that takes place mostly in a storage unit chased by something that the camera never really gets a good look at...mainly because of the LOW budget. The F-bomb is dropped more times in this movie than London during the world war 2. The true sign of a bad movie is just that...F this F that. Major bad movie red flag. People who are claustrophobic definitely would not like this movie...I'm not and still didn't care for it. A real swing and a miss, folks.

My buddy told me about this film, said how it wasn't that great but was very creative for the budget - since we are thinking about doing a low budget film I had to check it out. I read the reviews, 50% ripping it, the other half saying its OK...my review has to fall a little closer to the okay side of the tracks. The actors, music, camera and editing was good for the little horror film it was. Some of the killing scenes were little cheesy, but not over the top bad. I've watched A LOT of "shoe-string" budget films that have major sound problems, EXTREMELY HORRIBLE ACTORS, the camera work kills you, completely takes you out of the movie. This film held together for what it was - small low budget horror. If people are expecting Mike Bay Transformer effects after you watched the trailer, then you mislead yourself. The story could have been better, but I liked the multiple story lines. I compared it for what it was...cool shoe-string budget film that worked.

Just surfing for something to watch, checked this out with my wife, she really does not watch horror, but she picked it. It's a low budget film, drops you in the middle of a lot of chaos with random people, three different groups, in storage building. It was a little slow at beginning, I thought it had a lot going on, but my wife didn't. But when the pace picked up, things sorted and bodies started dropping, it flowed. We have a storage place that my wife hates going to. All she kept saying, now you really gotta go to storage with me, so she said it was kinda psychological for her - camera stuff with creature, killings and music I guess - she's scary though. We watch horrible stuff all the time and laugh over it, make fun, this was COOL. Like a horror puzzle, but I can tell why a lot of people may not like it, because it's super low budget, no big special effects, but it's creative, especially when you have no money...liked it.
