Dave C What a crock of shite! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review richard t 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member low budget can make a scary movie better than expensive budget movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Well judging by all the good reviews this has had I must be missing something because I thought it was some seriously boring shit.
