VANish

source: VANish

Bryan did a fantastic job on this first movie - its horror - its a fun ride. Maiara Walsh kicked butt, Danny Trejo was classic Danny (LOL) and Candy Man Tony Todd was a delight to work with. Hollywood's a beyotch to get into - those who try know that. It's not easy making a movie - its not easy getting distribution either and they did it. Two thumbs up. The movie was shot entirely in the van - all of it. Bryan was adamant about accomplishing that - and he did it. It's action packed - bloody - worth the time to grab a few beers, chips and popcorn and just go with it.

I never rate anything this low. Unfortunately '0' stars was not an option. Can't believe Danny and Tony were that hard up for $$$. I hope they did it out of friendship. Production values are very lacking. Guy gets brutally, massively stabbed to death with a machete. Blood everywhere, right!? Then when the killer throws the machete on the back floor, it's bright and shiny, not a drop of blood on it anywhere! So many other oversights, but this one really stands out. Just stupid overall, don't waste your time on this one.

It takes a lot to make a movie set in one confined environment and this writer director has come up trumps with this. I did not expect to enjoy this as much as i did as some of the acting is not that great, the gore scenes are actually quite funny and not well done but I am not sure whether it was meant to be black humour but it has accomplished it by accident and quite well I must say. Ignoring all the deficiencies it was well photographed , directed and the female lead was good in the role so against all odds this film actually comes out quite a way on top of what I otherwise would have expected it to be. I would like to see the alternate endings which all sounded as good as each other so all in all this was a well above average nights viewing and I am giving it a very respectable 7/10.

Don't waste your time. Terrible cinematography in this clearly low-budget trash. The use of the n-word while talking about someone, was where I turned it off. The hostage throwing up oatmeal earlier is where I should have truned it off. Just wasted 20min of my life.

If you're an adolescent, dumb, or just like action trash films, this is for you. It kills me how some filmmakers think that authentic means turning up the foul language to 11. It just shows a lack of imagination and an insipid approach to filmmaking. Leave this one for the jr high boys on their weekend out. Total waste of time

A young woman is kidnapped by three guys who demand money to her dad in order to free her. The movie is bad but at the same time entertains and it's fun to watch if you don't take it serious and enjoy the ride. The situations, dialogs, the plot all are ridiculous. There are some graphic kills in it, but in rest is kinda humorous even the battle between Shane and Emma will keep you smile for the whole time. Still there is not much to say about this, is short only 75 minutes, almost the entire movie takes place in a van, what can I say, it could be the perfect movie for gore fans. Yes, and the ending was kinda dry, I actually liked the songs in the credits more then the film.

I don't want to pretend that i am a movie reviewer, but as a movie goer and a mega movie appreciator myself, i feel the need to inform the readers of this site's reviews that they shouldn't dismiss a movie just because a dumb nerd with an obsolete idea about how a movie or the world, in general, should be like said it was average. There is nothing average about this movie. No way! I know, this movie doesn't deserve a 10 (of course!) but it also doesn't deserve the 4s or the 5s it's getting! The hell! Are you knuckle-heads, kidding me!? I want to know , just from pure curiosity, which are these "all-so- qualified" reviewers' favorite films! It seems to me that they have absolutely no idea of how a review must be done , story wise of course... I am not picking on, or have anything to say against , their ability to pick apart any movie from a technical point of view, but when it comes to judging a movies' structure and story they are utter morons... To cut the crap... Watch the damn movie and i guarantee you, you will love it! Real score should be somewhere around 8! But not a 5 or a 4! WTF???? Stupid imbecilic Bieber ass generation reviewers!

OK so the first half hour of this movie was tough to get through because the acting was very poor - or so I thought... After watching the whole movie I rate the acting quite good, especially from Maiara Walsh, who was brilliant. Initially the two guys in the van appeared to be complete half wits and I thought it was the acting but thinking about it, some of it was the characters they were playing - who were morons... Considering the very limited sets and budget, this movie delivers an enjoyable ride. Some of the violence effects are second rate and some acting is below par but generally good - and as I have mentioned - Maiara played a good part - and is drop dead gorgeous to boot :) 6 stars - OK this should really have got a 5 stars but gave it an extra one because of Maiara Walsh :)

An independent/low budget movie that does deliver mostly. The story is nicely told and the action is nicely shot as well (there will be blood at times, so you can't be too squeamish about it). Don't expect to see too much of Danny Trejo though. I think he's doing a lot of movies, where he just has a small role (like in this one). But the movie works well, especially the twists and turns along the way (no pun intended). There are a couple of different endings to this which normally isn't the best sign, but I think the ending that made it into the movie is the best one. It almost couldn't have ended any other way (even if it did and you can watch those scenes on your disk)
