108 - A Thousand Cuts

    A horror director is held hostage by a man whose daughter was killed by someone influenced by the director’s movies.
    For a low-budget horror movie, this is pretty well done.  It moves along quickly.  It’s a little shorter than most movies.  It’s mostly in one location (albeit both inside and outside).  Two primary characters, a variety of supporting character that have minimal participation.  Very little effects work.  It’s just a generally well-done cheapie.
    There’s one problem, and it’s a strange one.  There are a few script problems.  They aren’t obvious to most people, and they probably wouldn’t come out while reading it.  The problem is that the main characters repeat certain dialogue.  The lead re-uses a few phrases, and it has a strange effect of feeling like the story is re-treading the same ground it already covered.
    Given the shortness of the movie, it’s hard to feel like this is a big problem.
