The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

"Dead Still" actually turned out better than I had anticipated, given the less than impressive reviews and overall rating that the movie had received here on IMDb. But still, it is a horror movie, and that alone had me interested. But given the negative vibe to the reviews and such, then I must admit that my hopes for the movie weren't great.However, I was more than genuinely surprised that the movie was better than I had hoped (or feared) that it would turn out to be. Sure, it wasn't a horror masterpiece, but it still an entertaining enough movie, and it did have some originality to it, which was what kept the movie afloat.The story was somewhat different from what I had expected and it was that aspect of the movie that particularly turned out to be a fresh addition to the horror genre. The storyline is about a wedding photographer who inherits an antique camera, that has been used previously to take obscure death-scene photographs. And strange deaths starts occurring around the talented photographer, which are tied to the old camera.I will say that I was actually genuinely entertained by the movie, despite it not being a groundbreaking monument in the horror genre. But it still turned out to be entertaining and it did have a sense of originality to it.The acting in the movie was adequate for most parts, but I must say that it was especially Ray Wise who carried the biggest part of the movie with his performance and his usual wicked charisma on the screen.The effects in the movie were actually quite good, especially the creature make-up and designs. I liked those quite a lot. Just a shame that they weren't more actively used in the entire movie."Dead Still" is actually a good choice for a movie if you are in for an evening of horror movies. I was more than genuinely entertained and pleasantly surprised with it. Who knows, you might just be as well...

I have been a huge fan of the Booth Brothers and Their films from the first one I saw. Always beautifully filmed and great soundtrack as well.I would truly love to see what Chris and Phillip could do with a Hollywood size budget.I am always amazed at what they can make on an Indie film budget.I've always been a huge fan of Independent Film and the old school way of film making.Im not a big fan of CGI,though I do understand it now has a place in film.Deadstill for me was great because it took me back to my youth of going to good old horror movies.This film also had elements of Argento and Fulci.The movie has some truly creepy moments and just the right amount of gore.Th Booth Brothers also make the best Paranormal Docs I've ever seen.I highly recommend all of their films.Deadstill is a great way to spend the night kicking back with a good old fashioned horror film.

I enjoyed watching this movie...the basis of the movie was great...got me to wondering about those old photos and "maybe" with the camera itself, what there capable of doing....It was nice to sit in ones own living room and chat with the Booths...while the movie was on...like many of the movies out here you either like it or u don't...to each his own....and if u didn't like it.it takes a lot of guts to stand by what u write...but for those of us that liked it let us have our moment in the sun....I'm hoping they will keep putting out movies for us to review...my favorite characters were the kids...and the young man with the beautiful eyes...the children came across well in there character...excellent choice....OK this is it for now...tata....Bandits mom

A camera with a life of its own, and postmortem photography. Now, talk about an interesting storyline. Not your typical storyline you see in today's movies - which is why I find this movie a refreshing change from what we see in the movies or on television. Frankly, this one is one of the best Halloween movies released in 2014, proving you don't need excessive blood to make a good film.It takes a lot of good acting to convey thoughts and feelings from one who cannot speak. The young actor (Gavin Casalegno) in this movie, does a remarkable job in the movie.The music in the movie allows one to immerse themselves right into the story, which is one of the the things I have always enjoyed about a Booth Brothers film. Saint always manages to bring forth the emotions he wants you to feel with the right score - and timing is everything.As is always the case, if the lessons are not learned, history has a way of repeating itself. A lesson we learn in this movie - as we clearly see at the end.A two hour thrilling ride into postmortem photography, complete with imagination. Truly - a great tale of imagination from Philip Booth and his brother Christopher Booth. I highly recommend the movie if you want a break from the typical horror on the screen and want to step back to the way things were done, and how I they can be done with class.
