Horrible- not funny when it's supposed to be; about 15-20 min. longer than anyone should have to sit through; but mostly just boring. Over & over the killer jackhole prattles on and on over his would be victims. The dialogue is wholly uninteresting. If it's supposed to be horror, it's also horribly not scary in the very least. I've seen where a critic said one of its attributes was that it 'doesn't take itself too seriously'. Well, someone should've taken making a better movie more seriously. 2 generous stars, for now.
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
I've always wondered what happens after a slasher murders their victim and the crime scene cleanup guys show up. What must it be like to show up to clean all the blood, eyeballs, gristle and gore? I Must Fall (originally One Must Fall) is the first film from Antonio Pantoja and it answers that question.
When Sarah — joined by her best friend and roommate Alton — quits her job rather than sleep with her boss, she ends up working cleanup after a gory series of murders. But has the killer left the building? We wouldn't have a movie if they did.
While the film calls up all of the slasher moments that we know and love, I really enjoyed how the killer (Barry Piacente) sees what he is doing as a holy mission, even allowing a character to pray to God to have someone rescue him, giving fate the opportunity to turn things around.
This is also a movie that does not skimp on the gore or on the damage to its leads. I was shocked by some of what happens in this movie and — spoiler — cheered on the close, as Sarah returns to get revenge on the boss who caused so much of her trauma.
Most modern slashers are quite frankly worthless. I found a fair deal to enjoy here, which is high praise.
