Review of Deathwatch (2002) by Adam W — 01 Oct 2007

Billy Elliott finally breaks after being called a ballet poofter one to many times, so to prove he's all butch, he signs up for WWI with King Kong in order to solve the mystery of the haunted trench.

This was pretty good, with a keen sense of creepy paranoia creeping throughout. I'd mark it higher, but these low budget horror just get killed by their low budget synth scores. Someone has to tell these people that the synth is never going to sound like the LSO, and to stop trying to be clever with it as the music continually sinks these films.

I'd put money down that this would be at least a 4 star picture if they killed the score and just left the heavy silence and natural sounds of the trench to work the boogies on you.
