Body Keepers

Anyone who gave this movie more than 2 stars couldn't have seen the same movie I did....lame from start to finish.....and is it my imagination or did the volume get really low towards the end of the movie?....not that it really mattered.....

Slow burn, low budget film is the best way to describe this. The actors weren't bad but weren't great acting. The story itself was pretty cool but the way it was delivered wasn't. Though there were a lot of scenes they could of cut but I feel if they did the movie would of been less than an hour. If you're bored and want to see a B rated movie then strap yourself in but don't expect much from the film.

But nothing ever did. What was the point of this? I'm sure the filmmakers and actors are nice people, but I kept waiting for the story and horror to kick in, and it never did.. Every scene felt like a deleted scene. The nail in the coffin was the unlikable characters. They were all terrible honestly. I'm sure the makers are happy they got a film made, but next time please brainstorm a good story and characters before filming. Being an indie is no excuse. I've seen a ton of good indies.

All these low ratings I'm seeing must be from people who don't appreciate classic, low budget B horror movies. They're the best! And so worth the watch or just to pass the time. It got distribution for a reason...so there are redeeming qualities. Horror lovers, watch this, you'll enjoy it.

"Body Keepers" is excellent fun as long as you do not expect sharp writing, amazing actors, clever editing, and excellent sound design. The flaws ARE the fun in this kind of movie. There's nothing wrong with enjoying how the score is so loud in places that you can barely hear a character speaking. It's entertaining to watch an actor trying so hard to pull off disdainful coolness, but coming off as wooden and one-note. Movies need to be experienced in terms of their creators' abilities. I hope the people who made "Body Keepers" had a blast making the movie. If movie-making remains a goal, keep going! I'm sure everybody involved learned something. If you hate this kind of movie, here's a tip: look for the production company's name at the start of the movie. Avoid that production company's movies, you are unlikely to find anything that you will enjoy. Have a nice day.

I am a HUGE fan of Tommy Wiseau's so bad it's good masterpiece The Room. Body Keepers is good in much the same way. The gay best friend is so over the top it's hilarious. The b*tchy goth girls are so "I hate everything" that you'll be cringing in your seat. There's long scenes of people getting drunk. The f-bomb is dropped every time a character can't think of a good comeback (which is often). All of the acting is really cheezy except by the extras, a lot of the speaking extras are decent. There's one point where the boyfriend, Tanner, is watching some marine vs. zombie movie and his girlfriend asks him what he's watching. He just stares into space and we cut back to the marine vs zombie show. I guess he didn't even know what he was watching. I couldn't stop laughing at this part. I often hear bad editing thrown around by amateur film critics but have you ever seen a movie where there's a blank screen placed in the middle of changing camera angles? I don't mean like a transition shot, I mean there are like two frames ACTUALLY MISSING between changing angle. The characters argue in class and call each other names and the teacher is just like "yeah, okay." Speaking of the teacher, I thought this guy looked familiar and it turns out he was in a JonBenet Ramsey documentary and a hitman movie I saw a few years ago ALSO made in Colorado. I guess the Colorado film community is pretty small. Anyway, if you want a good laugh, pour yourself a highball, call up your buddies, and strap in for Body Keepers.

There is nothing good that can be said about this movie,from go to whoa it is an absolute stinker in every way,shape and form.The script is awful,the camera work is awful and the acting is just woeful,it was just my stubborness to watch any movie I start from beginning to end so that I can leave an honest review that kept me at it,an absolute relief when it ended as badly as it began.Whatever you do,steer well away from this pile of dung.
