Sounds (2008)
A campy romp with things that go bump in the forest
The point of this film was to poke fun at Sci-Fi and horror genre films. I thought the references and parallels to famous movies and old TV shows was clever. The goofs and mishaps are all part of the plan. It's meant to be a fun escape film, a campy romp with things that go bump in the forest. When I read the background on how little money was used during production, I thought first-time writer/director Ryan Humphries gets a vote of confidence for an impressive first go at film-making. If he can do this much with this little money, what is he capable of with real movie money? The interview between Humphries and Herb Lightman in the bonus feature is very interesting. Lightman is a legend from the old Hollywood movie making circles back 50 years ago. A former professor at UCLA, he taught George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg film-making back when they were college kids and before anyone knew their names. Check the movie out for yourself and form your own opinions.
