Dave C 01/05/2024 What a crock of shite! See more richard t 11/03/2022 You'll either love this or hate it. Three buds from the city head out for a day of deer hunting in the woods. You're immediately reminded of Deliverance and the long slow build at the beginning of the film owes some of its tension to the expectations established by that earlier classic. Let me just say that Trigger Man defies those expectations, to some extent, and goes in quite a different direction. Minimalist, like an astringent punk poem, this early film by Ti West is well worth your time. Just don't expect action. See more 06/20/2018 A fairly good movie. Although its slow at times and the camera work is very shoddy. Considering its only the 2nd film for a 26 yr old Ti West, it gets 3*. The scares are minimal at best, but then again it gets points for being based on a true story. See more 02/24/2016 low budget can make a scary movie better than expensive budget movie. See more 06/08/2015 I'll preface this by saying I'm a fan of Ti West (apart from the questionable Cabin Fever sequel) and I truly enjoy slowly building tension, claustrophobic atmosphere, haunting mood, and a sudden, shocking conclusion. I would argue his three "big films" all succeed in all these areas. However, Trigger Man fails in each. To be honest, I can hardly consider this a movie, per se. It feels like B roll footage that West taped together and called a film. I see what he was going for: true reality, grit, and 'everyman in a dangerous situation' scenario. But the characters are paper thin, especially the lead, who seems to have been lobotomized for all the fear and emotion he shows. And there is no dread, no slow burn; in fact, there's nothing to burn. Even Cinéma vérité requires some degree of drama, some human element, at least quality cinematography. Trigger Man feels like a failed college film. I'm glad West has moved on to much greater things. We all have to start somewhere. See more 09/22/2013 Well judging by all the good reviews this has had I must be missing something because I thought it was some seriously boring shit. See more Read all reviews
