I like htose, thanks Grant.

Vor, will you please explain to me why I would put something clearly video editing under scripts. For some reason that makes no sense to me. And by the way its an entirely different movie. Thank you to thecrowdravin for actually giving useful advice.

yea, i tried to find it for an hour, the closest thing i found was a movie called wanted.

Very good for a short film, though I wasnt really aware of why they had the suitcase or who anyone was.

i dont see when you would ever need a fake brick, no offense.

How can I get that look of a spaghetti western (i.e. Good, Bad, and Ugly or A Fistful of Dollars (Basically anything by Sergio Leone) or even The Devils Rejects)? I use Final Cut Express.

I thought it was good, though not very Kubrick like, except for the zoom from the candle. I found the credits in the beginning much like Hitchock actually.

a cleaver, buzz saw, pole with spikes, axe, and above all...a chainsaw.

Sorry about all the exploitation threads, I am just making a film and I keep hitting obstacles. Anyways, thanks for not getting all p*** off at me. What I am asking for here is: What makes a chase scene intense? What keeps the audience on the edge of their seat (Ignore the cliche)?

I need help making a chase scene. Heres the scenario. Killer chasing killer. The one being pursued has a empty gun. The chaser has a hunting knife. One with knife nearly kills other one, but is shot while other one flees. It ends with the one with a knife catching up to and knocking out the other on...

oh, is that the one where they cut the guys tounge off in the end?

They look good with a low budget. No great acting needed, though preferred. Practice with gore fx. Fun to watch, and they scare me s***less

what is salo, i keep hearing about it. by the way nice avatar

have u seen the ads for grindhouse?

Yea, awesome movie. Do you recommend any literary devices I could use to separate them?

It's kind of easy to copy a movie as good as Devils Rejects, and yes I saw a strong similarity. Just try and find something to set them apart.

yea, sounds good. I just want the killers to be totally human, just really f****d up people. I am going with either rape/revenge, near death/revenge, or maybe death/parents revenge. Which one of those do u like best?

by the way, good script. i'd say just to find a solid ending, maybe the cop coming seeing brad face to face.

I find it easier to film it then think of a title. You film or just write.

do u have trouble thinking of titles like i do?

Alright, thanks for the help.

I have got a squib, but I have noticed that they produce kind of a spurt of blood. I was just wondering how I could achieve more of a mist, instead of one weak little spurt. Also, I am sure there is a post on this somewhere in the forum, but what is the best way to achieve muzzle flash?
