Review of Seconds Apart (2011) by Kyle L — 10 Sep 2012

Seconds Apart is one of the best After Dark Originals since Husk and Prowl along with 51. I just have one word to say about this film and that is wow it's such a big surprise and I seriously like this movie a lot because it has all of the elements of a Horror movie.

Seconds Apart is a really strong and powerful Horror movie from first time Director Antonio Negret and this is one of the best After Dark Films since Husk. The plot of this film is simple. This movie is about two twins name Seth and Jonah who both have a special power filled with horrendous effects in which they made a group of football players play Russian Roulette which leads to they're deaths.

As more of they're classmates die in gruesome ways Detective Lampkin investigates the involvement of the twins and soon Seth and Jonah no longer trust each other and when two evils collide the gruesome rampage is sure to escalate.

I seriously like this movie and it is the best among all of the After Dark films and it has some nerves and style. What's great about Seconds Apart is that the film is really full of originality and this movie seriously has the originality since Husk and Prowl and I like the idea of this movie a lot so far.

What I like about Seconds Apart is that the film is really atmospheric and the movie is also full of filtered, washed and colored cinematography on certain parts. The opening scene where the four players play Russian Roulette is gory and atmospheric and I like the atmosphere in that scene and it's not only an atmospheric scene but it is also a gory scene and the way the four players kill they're selves is just gory and disturbing at the same time and the use of the atmosphere in that scene is just great and it makes the movie look good and I like how the atmosphere was used in that part so far and it makes the movie look atmospheric so far while I like most of the scenes where the washed, filtered and colored cinematography is used on certain parts and I like how Antonio Negret uses the atmosphere in this movie so far and unlike Husk which lacks the atmosphere Seconds Apart has all of the atmosphere and the washed, filtered and colored cinematography just makes the movie look better so far.

What I also like about this movie is the creepy twins. The twins in this movie are super creepy and pure evil and scary at the same time. The way they brush they're teeth, comb they're hair and wear the same outfits is just creepy and these two twins seriously creep me out ever since I saw they're performances in Rest Stop 1 and 2 even they're parents are creepy in this movie as well so far but the twins are super creepy from what I can tell in the film so far.

The other things I like about Seconds Apart is that the film also has a lot of suspenceful moments. The scene where Detective Lampkin sees his house on fire and he sees his wife and he tries to save her is just suspenceful and intense so far while the rest of the scenes in this movie are just great so far.

What I also like about Seconds Apart is that the film is also full of gory and disturbing death scenes. And I like the idea of the death scenes in this film because most of the death scenes are really atmospheric and really cinematographic from the first death scene until the last.

The opening scene where the football players play Russian Roulette is one of the most disturbing death scenes in the film and the most atmospheric part of the movie and the way they play Russian Roulette is just creepy and gory as well.

The scene where the principal of the school dies by cutting his artery due to the guinea worm is one of the most atmospheric parts of the film and the nastiest death scene in the film since the opening scene of the movie.

Katie's death was disturbing as well plus the washed, filtered and colored cinematography is used well in that scene so far and I like how the cinematography was used in that scene so far. While the flashback scene where the babysitter kills herself by eating some shattered glass is one of the most disgusting parts of the film so far and the cinematography is also well used in the film.

Now the acting is great the performances of Edmund and Gary Entin is just great and they're both creepy so far with they're performances in the movie is great as well so far even the actor who played Detective Lampkin is great as well with his performance in the movie so far.

Director Antonio Negret handled his work really well with this movie so far and I'm hoping to see more of his future works in the future as well so far. Overall Seconds Apart gets a 10/10 because this movie has all of the things everyone needs for a Horror movie and it is the best After Dark film ever made since Husk, 51 and Prowl.
