Redd Inc. (2012)

Strong and Moving!

Let's be realistic.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

The Plot Six captive office workers are literally chained to their desks by a demented, escaped serial killer; former regional manager Thomas Reddmann (Redd). He assigns his 'human resources' the impossible task of proving his innocence or suffering gruesome consequences.It's not a great movie. And although it's billed as a comedy thriller horror, it's really a slasher film with little or no humor. It's a bit along the lines of The Dentist and the Step Father.Frankly I got bored real early.It's a slow paced film that lacks in originality.

I'm not a huge fan of horror movies but I decided to watch this one because it just sounded intriguing. So I watched it and I'm glad that I did. This movie is just as described - horror, thriller & comedy(although the comedy is very slight and more "clever" than "ha-ha"). I personally liked it because it was clever, UNIQUE and well-written which is not common in horror movies. This movie has it all for a seemingly low budget movie. The acting is good, the script is good, there's just the right amount of gore, it's believable and it's NOT STUPID. Finally, it's not perfect but it's a lot better than most horror movies out there. Give it a try and if you don't like it then maybe cartoons(films where you don't have to think) are more suited for you.

As the other reviews (at the time of writing) appear to give this movie a glowing bill of health I thought I'd add a little balance. Not least for those who like me check whether a film is worth watching based on the reviews here. Having to dig deep in to other peoples lists to find something that I haven't already seen.Let me sum this up in the fewest words possible. Don't bother.I can't work out on what rating system anyone would rate this anything other than poor.The story is fairly weak and unconvincing. The cast were terrible, wooden and largely difficult to sympathise with. As a result it fails as a thriller. Not a particularly gory movie, although it has its moments and makes a few nods to other gore porn features such as Saw and Hostel, but with little of the cringe-inducing effect. As a horror it also fails. Or perhaps I'm becoming desensitised in my old age.I have to say, I was grateful when it was all over. Redd Inc. unfortunately falls in to my; "wish it'd had never been made, wish I'd never seen it" bucket.

I just finished watching the movie. It wasn't one of those serious slasher films. Even though I've seen innumerable horror movies, the movie still made me cringe. It is sure to make some of the audience want to cover their eyes during some killing scenes, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The movie was explicit about showing minor yet disturbing enough torture scenes, but seemed to deliberately censor the major ones, which is understandable given the fact that it wasn't meant to be a torture movie. The gore is not over the top and it is only there to contribute to the story progression. It is more of a detective movie, mixed with some joker-type madness, which slightly takes away from the seriousness of the violent scenes, and somehow makes you keep watching even if it makes you uncomfortable. You're going to watch a bunch of people trapped in a single location trying to work their way out. This means much of your time will be spent watching the characters have lengthy conversations with one another in order to solve a murder case. The movie is a mix of detective, torture, and comedy genres. I'm not into comedy movies, but it kind of made this movie more appealing. If it didn't have that funny feeling to it, I might have got bored due to it resembling many other movies of this type. I must say the story is very original and that alone makes this movie worth watching, although I'm pretty sure for most of you out there it's going to be a one-time watch only.
