I agree with what you said. It's just if looking at "Dante the Great" and "Bonestorm" from a different outlook.
As a VHS film? Terrible.
Outside of VHS? Well...here's my opinion from the other forum.
Quote:Dante the Great
This would had been better fit if it was a full movie on it's own. Because of time, it's clearly shown how rushed it was, jam packing shots in too quickly at times and character development. I am confused at how there was film footage of scenes when there's no camera present at all....
The Swat team scene was awesome. The magician battle, however, nice concept, y'known magician battle, student vs teacher, but how it was carried out was...eh.
The problem I have with it, is that, the VHS movie vibe wasn't there, or at least what I perceived in the past films. So like I said, would had been great if it was it's own movie and better production value...and actors.
I kind of like it for what it is because it reminded me of gritty Marvel film, like I totally blanked out the whole "magician" thing and saw it as a guy with Telekinesis and more, doing cool stuff with his powers. Once again, if it was it's own film...
But the only horror thing about it was the last 10 seconds of the short.
Quote:Bonestorm+ It felt like watching a "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" film or something.
I like this segment the most because I'm a sucker for undead stuff, so this grabbed my attention when the big scene came.
Took a bit too long to get to the point, but I understand it's length just for character development, so you can get attached to the characters.
As simple as this short was...there was really nothing I hate about this. It was just ridiculous as fuck, but not in a total bad way for me.![]()
...I mean, besides how unrealistic the whole situation was...such as the fact they stood there to fight, instead of skating the fuck away...
It left me leaving wanting to know what else happen to the kids before what happens at the very end of the movie itself.
