BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Michael Ledo Thomas Reddmann (Nicholas Hope) is convicted of being the "head hunter" serial killer when they find him in an elevator with a bloody ax in his hand standing over a decapitated body. After he escapes from the institution, he manages to round up about a half dozen people instrumental in his conviction. They are literally chained to their desks and are tasked with proving him innocent or else they will be killed/tortured.This ironically follows a "12 Angry Men" formula while oozing with dark comedic symbolism. Thomas is the "regional manager". He considers himself to be fair. His employees agree he is fair, but think the worse of him. They are allowed 3 bathroom breaks a day. He asks them to do the seemingly impossible under stress. In his fairness, he gives each employee 5 warnings (actually 4 warnings with the fifth one being fatal). These warnings are carved on their forehead, like a permanent record. Like most bosses he has a bad hair piece.The film also contains a fair amount of blood and body parts.Parental Guide: F-bomb, nudity (Kelly Paterniti, plus 2 background girls)
renee-844-417622 When Nicholas Hope appeared on the big screen with a demonic smile that would rival Jack Nicholson in The Shining, the audience went nuts.And so does the image of a Glad-Wrapped cat. That dead feline co-starred with Hope in the award-winning in Rolf de Heer's 1993 brilliant shock flick Bad Boy Bubby which won AFI Awards for Best Screenplay, Best Lead Actor and Best Director.So it's great to see Hope return to a black comedic horror - again with something to say and this time it's about the everyday slavery happening right across the modern world.He plays Thomas Reddman – the Regional Manager of Redd Inc and he's the star of this next cult film set to be a future hit. It puts a whole new macabre slant on Groundhog Day and provides great social commentary on what it means to work in order to stay alive. Redd is a convicted serial killer known as The Headhunter who hacks to death bad CEOS, corporate pigs and fat cats that probably should be Glad-Wrapped. He breaks out of the asylum that imprisons him, kidnaps the people whose contribution in court got him convicted and forces them to find the real killer and thus, clear his name. He chains them to desks in front of computers in a cube farm, welcomes with a creepy 'hello workers… ' then orders them to 'get back to work!'Never have these words been so insidious, formidable and funny.First world countries claim to have abolished slavery. That is not true. Go to any corporate office and check out the cube farms – cramped conditions, mindless repetitive movement and the endless processing of red tape. The reality is first world countries just changed the word 'slavery' to other words such as 'mortgage'. Timed dunny breaks, clocking on, clocking off, that feeling of being chained to a desk doing pointless, menial tasks designed to keep unnecessarily complicated workflows in perpetual motion – this work 'ethic' is forced on many people who need money to afford the basics of food and shelter in the affluent world.Welcome to capitalism - a term that is a reminder of the sign over Auschwitz 'Work Makes One Free' – as long as you work yourself to death.Tom Savini is a US makeup and SFX artist as well as an actor and has a great history dating back to (and beyond) the greatest social comment on modern life at the time – Romero's Dawn Of The Dead (1978). It was a great joy to see no CGI but real, physical special effects like the way Romero does them. And this is why Redd Inc is best seen in a cinema first. Horror movie buffs like seeing their genre of choice on a big screen first and at least once. In the olden days, people went to church to worship gods, they broke bread and connected with other like-minded folk in the local community.Horror buffs do the same. They congregate at the altar of the silver screen, they share popcorn and absorb the sermon coming from on high. Complete strangers connect with groans and screams and the hiding of the eyes behind the hands. It's exciting and thrilling and scary and a divine experience all rolled into one.Redd Inc delivers this divinity.While abiding by certain horror conventions – it also breaks new ground with story twists and turns that elevate this film into the highest echelon of the genre.The soundtrack is superb, the editing seamless, the direction sublime. Dan Krige is the director who took the script by Anthony O'Connor and Jonathon Green and gave it a modern visual style that feels like it has moved the genre forward. The script itself is laugh-out-loud and suitably gruesome as office life often is.When Romero's Dawn Of The Dead was released in 1978, it predicted a time when people would work for money on weekdays then be drawn to giant shopping malls on weekends to spend that money as a form of entertainment and relaxation – and he accurately depicted this prophecy with zombies.Around that same era, the Ozploitation genre was in full swing with classics such as Turkey Shoot and Dead End Drive In with Mad Max being the most famous and successful of all Aussie genre films. And when filmmaking special effects surged ahead with the explosion of technology in the 90s, the horror and sci-fi genres enjoyed a renaissance. Stories were easier to tell because improbable worlds became fully realistic on the big screen. And Ozploitation has enjoyed its own evolutionary leap. Since 2003 the Saw franchise has racked up several films making Jigsaw a very successful and sought-after villain who has generated millions of dollars. But here's the difference – Redd Inc is funny.Redd Inc is one of the smartest films of its genre and worth seeing on big and small screens everywhere. It'll sure give you a different view of modern human resources and a disturbingly accurate one too.
Loader1976 Surprisingly tight and entertaining little Aussie thriller, ticks all the boxes for the horror genre. Very well made and the story moves along at a good pace and avoids horror movie clichés as much as it can for a low budget inde flick. Pretty scary with some really great scenes will have you watching through your fingers! Good to see a cameo from Tom Savini the master of gore, and some really great performances from the cast. Nic Hope must surely be one of the most under utilised actors around today and he gives a good performance as the maliciously murderous boss from hell. Also stand out performances from Sam Reid and Hayley McIlhenney, make this a very enjoyable way to spend a creepy night on the couch with a box of popcorn which may end up on the floor by the end credits.
chrismurphys I was invited to a preview of Redd Inc intending to leave early. I held both arms of the seat throughout. It's grisly but it's also very well written. I've been a Criminal Lawyer 40yrs and seen much of psychopaths and cruelty. This movie nails it. Surprised at negative reviews. My favorite movie of this genre since Cape Fear! See it. The movie dwells on the allegedly wrongful conviction of Nicholas Hope for a murder in an elevator.I truly was taken by surprise and won't spoil the ending. Suffice to say that it has been my long experience in many homicide cases,more than 300, that there is nothing more wronged than a criminal who is falsely accused of even the slightest crime amongst all their evil deeds merrily committed. Nicholas Hope embarks on revenge and the examination of all those that contributed to the errors that had him locked away for a crime he says he didn't commit. Hey, I'm used to horrible people but this guy is something else!
