AFM ’09: BD Reviews Hot AFM Title ‘The Reeds’
Another film that was receiving quite a bit of buzz at AFM was The Reeds, a misleading horror title that might click with the right audience. “One of the major problems with the film is that the finale is misleading. During most of the film the viewer is led to believe that there’s a creature running loose in the Reeds, while the finale reveals it to be something completely different.” Check out some art and the trailer beyond the break.
