4.0 out of 5 starsHave you got a Deadline to meet?
By Phil Smith on 8 April 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Three previous reviews, 1 five star, 2 one star. Still I was happy to give it a go as Thora Birch was in it (that's a star on it's own). Overall not too bad but it was a little lacking in any punch throughout. A couple of scares (pretty standard from this kind of movie, so nothing too different) and a slightly twisted plot.

****Spoiler Alert****

Alice has had a personal hell to deal with as her boyfriend tried to drown her and caused her to suffer a miscarriage. As an author she needs to meet her deadline and decides to lock herself in an old house alone to complete her book. The house has a past it seems, or does it? Discovering a batch of camcorder tapes Alice becomes spellbound by the unfolding story of Lucy and her possessive, camcorder-crazy husband, David. Or is she really watching her own life on tape? Make up your own mind as the story unfolds and the conclusion is revealed.

An enjoyable "haunting" movie with some good performances from a small cast of four with voice and brief appearances by two others.

Have to say that Brittany Murphy looked very thin and ill, not sure if that was intended for the script, but it was a tragedy that she died not long after this movie was made despite being involved in other projects until her untimely death. Her performance was beguiling and haunted but how much of that was possibly her real self may never be known. R.I.P. Brittany, a brief career so sadly curtailed.

1.0 out of 5 starsA nightmare in nightwear
By Bashful Badger on 1 May 2013
Format: DVD
Mmm, a nervy girl with mental problems and on medication, decides on a whim, on hearing that the psychotic ex who's been stalking her has just been released from jail, that the best course of action would be to isolate herself in a huge, spooky, remote house without any transport. The premise alone is illogical enough to make most viewers put this back on the shelf.

But my excuse is that it was on Five in the afternoon and, once I'd elected to give it a go, it was too hilarious to stop watching.

The pace of the film verges on the glacial. Brittany Murphy, looking wan and pretty and rather like a ghost herself, wanders around in some sexier equivalent to pyjamas, wondering how she got herself into this nonsense. It starts to seem like nobody in the whole world ever moved so slowly. I can hear the director instructing her, `Walk into the room slowly', then urging, `No, Brittany, slower! Slower!' She sits in a tub and gazes mournfully off to one side. For hours.

It's another one of those films that's predicated on the notion that a previous occupant felt the necessity to video every single thing that ever happened to them and that Brittany's character, rather than finding this nauseatingly narcissistic and tediously self-absorbed, would be sufficiently intrigued to watch all this footage back.

Oh, I forgot to mention that she's a writer of some kind (people who stay in old, spooky houses generally are) and supposedly working to a deadline, not that you would know it. I think this may have been for some time in the next millennium.

If your idea of horror is a few creaky doors and some very weak light fittings, you possibly might find yourself ever so slightly unnerved for a nanosecond. Otherwise, be prepared to find this a scream for all the wrong reasons.

3.0 out of 5 starsFocus your fear.
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 11 Jun. 2012
Format: DVD
Deadline is written and directed by Sean McConville. It stars Brittany Murphy, Thora Birch and Marc Blucas. Music is by Carlos José Alvarez and cinematography by Ross Richardson.

Recovering from a psychological breakdown and required to finish a screenplay for a deadline, writer Alice Evans (Murphy) retreats to a remote Victorian house. Once there, though, mysterious goings on begin to accompany her. Undetered, Alice begins to unravel the terrible secrets of the house. But at what cost?

One of the last films made by Brittany Murphy before her sad and untimely death, Deadline (poor title) is mostly friendless in the world of the haunted house sub-genre. Yet in spite of its flaws and tired old set up of premise, it's hardly one of the worst of its kind. It's all very low key and thriving on moody mystery atmosphere, both things which are aided by better than average music scoring and photography. Performances by the cast, in what is purely a six character piece, are very committed, managing to make the thin script more palatable. There's a couple of jolts placed within, while the scenes involving Birch and a clearly unhinged Blucas are genuinely creepy.

Its reputation tells us that it's just too low key for some, and for sure it brings nothing new at all to a well populated formula. While the outcome is infuriating and has proved to be unforgivable for many a sub-genre fan. But with expectations set at low this rounds out as a decent enough time filler for those who like atmosphere laden haunted house pictures. 6/10

4.0 out of 5 stars"STOP FILMING ME!"
By The Movie Guy TOP 500 REVIEWER on 25 July 2013
Format: DVD
At some point in time, every word or phrase that has the word "dead" in it will have a dozen horror movies built around it. Alice (Brittany Murphy) is a writer and has a "deadline." Her ex-bf is getting out of prison and she is afraid of him. Her slime ball producer allows her the use of a seclude house so she can be alone and write. Her girlfriend Becky (Tammy Blanchard) takes her out to the big house and strands her there for a week, at Alice's request.

This is a good old fashion haunted house with creaky doors (no 3 in 1 Oil) that move themselves, dripping faucets, faint screams, and things that go bump in the night. The camera angles are excellent and give one that voyeuristic, being watched look, couple with the noises they create a haunted atmosphere. The gorgeous Brittany looks defeated and distraught.

Through some unusual circumstances Brittany finds and views video left by the former occupants of the home, David (Marc Blucas) and Lucy (Thora Birch) a couple on the verge of breaking up. Lucy is pregnant. David has a video camera and is obsessive with it to the point where it bothers Lucy. Alice, who is on medication for some unknown reason, is also a bit obsessive with her camera. Good haunted house story. Kudos Brittany, wish you were here.

No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.
