The Day Hollywood Died (2012) User Reviews

A Great Red Carpet event and a great little flick by these inspirational film makers

I must say that going to watch the long awaited release of The Day Hollywood Died was a night to remember. After a few years we finally get to watch this film that apparently was shot for $5000 in 9 days! It wasn't a Hollywood blockbuster or anything but the story was intriguing enough to keep me watching to know more about it and kept me involved in the film, there are lengthy dialogue moments in the film but it was quirky, rude in some cases and weird but interesting.

There were a lot of funny moments in the film and the twists of the film were unexpected.

Great music score for a micro low budget film and sounded pretty good too.

Don't be quick to judge this film because its not what you expect.

But I enjoyed it and had many laughs.

NOT A BAD EFFORT BUT STILL LACKS SUBSTANCE

When I saw the teasers for this film and the poster I was excited. Finally a film that looks like an American film, there was hope that the Aussie's could pull off a micro budget film. The Characters are very interesting but an obvious ripoff of Tarantino style dialogue and similarities to Reservoir Dogs. The best thing in this film is definitely the lead actor Tommy Bradson who gives a riveting performance as a bald headed lunatic boss. I like the look of the film, it has a nice color to it but the camera work looked like students shot it. Further investigation led me to the man who coloured it worked on lord of the rings. How these guys pulled it off it commendable. The story was interesting and the reveal at the end was not obvious but I did find it a little disjointed and confusing. The special effects explosions although better than most micro budgets looked like a video game. Some of the characters made me laugh so I give points to that and by far the most points goes to the musical score - which you can listen to on youtube. Overall I think this could be a cult film and belongs in the $5 bin at your local Best Buy but at least it kept my attention.

WOW What a movie!!!

This has got to be by far the worst movie I have ever watched. I really can't get my head around how this even made any sort of production. The movie had absolutely no plot, made no sense and included a bunch of horrible cast which could not act at the slightest. The day Hollywood Died ha fake accents which combined English, Irish and some American which was so far fetched it was unbelievable. At first I thought it was some kind of comedy. The cheap special effects of the movie looked like something from the 1970's. I tried to gather my thoughts about what the story was about and I just couldn't figure it out. Me and my friends were watching this drinking beers and could not stop laughing. Whatever point this movie was trying to get across failed in every aspect. If you want a good laugh out of a movie, please watch it. Just don't waste Two hours of your life if you want an actual movie.

a nice little cult film for people to watch and enjoy

Wow, what can i say? For a low budget film, The day Hollywood died is up there and competes with a lot of movies that have a much bigger budget and what will no doubt become a favorite cult movie for years to come. I cant believe that this film was done on such a low budget. The story plot was well written, the music score was at its finest and the characters were a mix of today's society.

Well done to the the producers and to the writer and director of the film. Also the actors, well done. If you enjoy a laugh, keep an eye out for the character Johnny Henson, played by Nenif David. For action, Crane which was played by Tommy Bradson and Ronnie Menton played by Drew Pearson. These guys are sure to be household names in the future.

Well done and cant wait to see future films from this production company.

Great film for it's budget...by debut director Ronnie S. Riskalla
