Liam Trump Film Threat 03/06/2021
4/10
It's a shame that the writing falls short since there was some real promise to what this film could be. It's not horrendously bad by any means, but there's a lot of room for improvement. Go to Full Review

Director Arturo Lizardi (great name!) produces something here which is full of imagination, but ends up, for the most part, like Frankenstein's pieced together monster. Go to Full Review

Often frustrating as this is the kind of interesting, fleshed out world worth getting invested in if it were more inviting. Go to Full Review

More than just fantasy, the movie also takes on aspects of a mystery and thriller that are not normally seen in the genre. It does not always work, but its worth a watch. Go to Full Review

12/06/2020 Slow ,boring , rubbish story . Grade B See more 12/05/2020 This film has all the elements of being great, but I tired of its two-note presentation. It could really benefit being run through the hands of a skilled editor, who knows how to ignite the rhythms of scenes and story elements. If this were based on a book, I would really be interested in reading it. See more 12/05/2020 It was dense but LOVED the atmosphere of it all. See more 12/05/2020 Great cinematography and a new take on the fantasy genre. Pleasantly surprised. See more 12/05/2020 An interesting mix of genres. See more 12/04/2020 I'm always a sucker for genre mixing especially when one of those genres is fantasy. Trail of Ashes attempts to try something different but it doesn't always work out in the end. Even so I feel like the acting from director/writer Arturo Lizardi along with the cinematography are more than enough to keep people intrigued. For more please check out my Youtube channel.
