“I Didn’t Come Here to Die”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Follow this link<\/a> for official information.<\/p>\n

A group of young volunteers travel to a plot of land 50 miles from the nearest town to start the process of turning the\u00a0 donated land into a summer camp for under privileged kids.\u00a0 A series of unfortunate events and poor decisions follow.<\/p>\n

I’ve got to say that this film surprised me.\u00a0 This indie film was filmed in a grindhouse\/exploitation style.\u00a0 The script and acting is quite well executed, though the low budget was apparent, it didn’t detract too much from the story or presentation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The use of practical effects vs CGI is always a good thing and there’s plenty of practical effects and gore in this film.\u00a0 The viewer is presented with engaging characters, each with their own motivations for volunteering, who make decisions along the way that, I thought, followed logically.\u00a0 Granted, I found myself asking the screen if the characters were going to continue to make such stupid choices, but the reasoning was there,\u00a0 people are simply stupid sometimes, especially when they are frightened.<\/p>\n

This film gets 3 1\/2\u00a0 rum & cokes from me, not only because it really was well written, but the story was both more and less than I expected (in a good way).<\/p>\n
