Territory 8 (2013) Reviews

• Terrible 8

  niaz_islam2016-01-17

  This movie is about a chemical disaster and the movie itself a disaster. The script is the only thing that has something in it, nothing else is even worth mentioning. It looked like director took all the people from his neighborhood and gave them a role to play. The acting of these peoples was terrible, neither they had any glamor, charisma or strong appearance. Camera work, lighting and the decoration of the set was also a great let down. If this movie script was given to a better director then it would have been a much better film. So my recommendation you can easily avoid watching this film.

• Z-Grade "Outbreak" "28 Days Later" wannabe

  a_chinn2017-10-07

  Z-Grade dreck that wants to be "Outbreak" or "28 Days Later" or any number of better disease outbreak films. A worst-case-scenario occurs at a chemical weapons depot in the Nevada desert that explodes. Two scientists must figure out how to escape the titular territory and face hostile survivors and a boring conspiratorial cover-up. Move along. Nothing to see here. Move along.

• Interesting Ending!

  HeatherMehudar2016-07-16

  I watched the entire movie, which is saying a lot when it comes to indie movies. I won't tell anything about the plot because you get the gist of it from the trailer. For a bunch of unknown actors, this is actually pretty well done. Not a lot of over-acting that frequently comes from indie movies. Cinematography is on point. Edited well and nothing in continuity was off (or it wasn't obvious if it was "off"). The dialogue and lack of dialogue is rather believable. Some of the CGI stuff is obviously low-budget, but it's also better than what I see in a lot of low-budget movies. The fact the actor who plays the lead male "Dr. Eli" / Michael A. Tushaus is ALSO the composer is quite impressive. This is worth watching! I actually had to watch the last two minutes of the story twice because the twist had me saying: "Wait. What? Oh DAMN!" I look forward too seeing more stories from Kelly Schwarze. Nevermind the 2-star rating from "Niaz Islam Arif from Bangladesh" because he gives 2 or 3 stars on nearly every review he does. I'm assuming he is a bitter actor or filmmaker who can't get work ... or he's simply bitter.

• YOU HAVE A CURE!

  nogodnomasters2018-11-30

  The film opens like a Chinese fire drill as "White Agent" is released from the Hawthorn Wallis defense contractor plant. The camera jerks around, objects go in and out of focus and fonts have a blank line cut through the middle of them. We know this is serious stuff. We then move to a secure Hawthorn Wallis plant where Eli (Michael A. Tushaus) and Cho (Heung Wong) are working on a "cure" and practicing their lines. Cho speaks some lines in Chinese to a guy with Star Trek collar insignias over the Internet. I guess he is some kind of spy, no subscripts. Survivors from the White Agent release are irate as their lungs fill up with liquid and they die..."They killed my Auntie!" Whoops wrong film. The film centers on two characters and most of the action takes place in one facility. The acting...well there was one scene that wasn't too bad. I couldn't feel the intensity as they used a generic sound track and bad dialogue to make us feel intensity. On the plus side they never used a voice enhancer, the scenes were centered and I never recalled seeing a microphone. The sound never cut in and out either so in many ways this was superior in quality to a lot of low budget indie messes out there that look like High School projects. However, It wasn't entertaining to watch two guys who can't act run around a concrete building for half the film. No swearing, sex, or nudity. Minor blood and violence.
