This was a fun and entertaining slasher with brutal and bloody slayings but it was extremely unoriginal with alot of dumb characters running around like chickens with their heads cut off. The whole concept has been done to death now and it tried too hard to a film like Scream or Urban Legend and it ended up more like a weaker version of Valentine. This film looked like it was made in the 1990′s and it should of been released in that era because it might of done better because that’s when this type of film was hip but now it’s just not that scary or that suspenseful I mean it just failed at it though there was a couple of jump scares here and there but they were cheap. In the end there wasn’t anything clever about this slasher at all and they could of done a better job with their material but I guess they wanted to rip off slashers of the 90′s, very uninspired and pointless in the end and they left it opened for a sequel but I say don’t bother. Overall Dead Tone was dead as a doorknob, BRAINLESS! It was kind of fun though while it lasted but not much thrills can be found in this slasher. Skip it or watch it if you haven’t seen any of the slashers of the 1990′s. More of a 2.5 out of 5 stars.
A fun slasher film reminiscent (Hope I spelled it right) of the 80′s and 90′s. Reminded me of Cherry Falls. Liked the twists. Overall a fun, fairly suspenseful time.
Saw this film a few times, it is a good movie! I got my copy from Netflix.
I actually liked this movie but personally I think the storyline towards the end could have been better.
One of my top 10 favorite slasher films of the 2000′s, that will keep guessing until the very end. It’s got some really good brutal kills, and a couple great twist endings too! Slasher fanatics definitley need to check this one out. I loved it!
Below-average slasher that brings the Scream-style theme to a new low. Outside of a brief and violent intro, it is very hard to sit through the first hour because it is just tedious filler-time that is neither funny nor a good setup. Once the slasher finally kicks into the slasher film then things pick up a bit–but not enough to save the movie. Found this to be too boring to be so cliche filled..pass
Caught if for free on instant Netflix and was disappointed. Not very good.
This was quite a suspenseful gory little Slasher with an interesting storyline.
Brian Hooks was the lead in the cast of good young twenty something actors.Rutger Hauer also stars as a detective on a mission.
I had seen Brian in several urban comedy’s and liked them but was a bit skeptical when he was part of production on this slasher film.
What happens is years earlier some kids play a game called 75 where you have to keep a stranger on the phone for 75 seconds without them laughing or hanging up.You have to pitch something scary or stupid, anything to keep them on the line.Well a psycho intercepts one of the calls and comes to the home and murders all the adults during a party and one of the kids sees his parents butchered in front of him..now it’s 10 years later and the kids are grown and having a party in a mansion so they decide to play 75 again..one of the 20 somethings forget to dial *67 before one of the calls and mayhem and murder begin in the shape of an axe welding maniac wearing a parka.It was somewhat your usual slasher fare but there were elements of it that made it seem fresh.I went ahead and bought it because It’s one I will watch more than once.It’s low budget but doesn’t give you that cheap look,the effects are well done and the lighting is very effective.I say give it a go.
I thought that this movie was pretty good, but could have improved in a few things.
