Marked for Death

Action - What a great story! This was a strong story line, backed up by great costuming and a stellar graphic intro. Really, really blew me away! However, was let down by some technical aspects. Clanging of swords would have been better to be added in post production, as the natural noises when filming were tarnished by wind noises. Also, the unlucky thing was very much overstated too many times over, could have been done subtly. Fantastic job though, a great film.

Very stylistically expressive film here. The motion graphics were impressive, given the timeframe that you had to work on them (and a one-man effort with those I believe?). Excellent use of special FX makeup and camera trickery. It is obvious that a lot of research has been made as to genre conventions etc. Some of the acting was B-grade fantastic! I would actually like to see this film again, in order to fully appreciate it.

Cringingly B-grade a shame, had promise

A good start with the graphics, but the B movie acting that followed did not quite match. Nice costumes and make-up, and a good twist in the story at the end was well presented.

A chosen few have, during their lives, been groomed to fight assassins. A leaf tattoo marks these woman from the rest. When Nicky is murdered, her sister looks for vengance. This had a very good beginning with effective use of layered stills. Unfortunately, that is where the fun ended for me. For much of the remainder of the film the dialogue was hard to understand and there was way too much of it, with the unluckiness factor overtold. Blood effects were used well and there was good use of colour in various scenes. This was just not a story I cared about even allowing for chicks fighting with swords!

Great costuming and make-up, however found the actors slightly hard to believe. Maybe with a different genre you could've shined! Well developed story.

Overall it didn't really work for me but I liked most of the individual aspects, such as the 300 style opening. The outdoor scenes were a little weak but when you're doing a pretty ambitious shoot in such a short period it's a challenge.

Not particularly original and I couldn't really follow the story. There were a few sound issues. However there were some good effects and some good laughs.

Good fun
