Maybe it was the lack of my coffee intake for the day, or maybe it was the fact that you have such poorly written characters that you quite literally put your audience to sleep. I'm a stickler for finding hidden indie film gems, in fact I mostly seek out horror films. I found this on IMDb tv and thought why not, could be a hidden gem. I typically never read reviews...well with this romp, I probably should have. The characters are so boring and paper-thin, you honestly wish they were dead. Yes please die. I snoozed for a good 15 minutes as I was trying so hard to keep my eyes open. However I did run back the film and watch the bit I missed. My nap was more entertaining. Side note: don't end your film with some world building almost marvel type end credits scene when it's a low budget indie film. Just don't. It makes you look pretentious, and as a great author once said: "An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure."

One Must Fall...asleep
They forgot the comedy bit..
The premise of the movie was interesting, but that was the best bit about it. I was excited to see where it was going but it's just kind of lack luster. It's not an awful movie, just not terribly good.
Not bad
I've always wondered what happens after a slasher murders their victim and the crime scene cleanup guys show up. What must it be like to show up to clean all the blood, eyeballs, gristle and gore? I Must Fall (originally One Must Fall) is the first film from Antonio Pantoja and it answers that question.
When Sarah - joined by her best friend and roommate Alton - quits her job rather than sleep with her boss, she ends up working cleanup after a gory series of murders. But has the killer left the building? We wouldn't have a movie if they did.
While the film calls up all of the slasher moments that we know and love, I really enjoyed how the killer (Barry Piacente) sees what he is doing as a holy mission, even allowing a character to pray to God to have someone rescue him, giving fate the opportunity to turn things around.
This is also a movie that does not skimp on the gore or on the damage to its leads. I was shocked by some of what happens in this movie and - spoiler - cheered on the close, as Sarah returns to get revenge on the boss who caused so much of her trauma.
Most modern slashers are quite frankly worthless. I found a fair deal to enjoy here, which is high praise.
