The Angels of Death Island (2003) Reviews

• One of the most enjoyable yet frustrating times of my life

  Granted my vote is weighted because I was a part of this production. Gary has nothing but a bright future ahead of him. Gary frames beautiful shots, can build any prop you can imagine (this kid built the wagon), edits to perfection, and is a fantastic actor. First and foremost he is one of the best directors I've worked with. He is patient and knows how to get the response he wants out of his actors. I'd like to take the opportunity to say thanks to Gary for letting me drive the wagon like a maniac, stand in for Gary in a few scenes, being the unnamed face in several shoots and being handful of dead bodies lying face down (I think I still have sand in my sinuses). And although most shots were delayed by unpaid actors who didn't show and we spent innumerable hours standing around waiting, it is an experience I would never trade. Thanks man. IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND THIS MOVIE, SEE IT. IT IS A GREAT FIRST EFFORT AND IS WORTH YOUR TIME. YOU WILL ENJOY IT.

• A very well crafted film!!

  I recently viewed this film and all I have to say is...WOW! The story is well put together and exciting! The film has a mix of humor, suspense, dram and plenty of action. I will admit that there were some moments that I had to turn my head away from...I almost never do that while watching a movie. So that tells you how intense some scenes(one scene in particular)get. The directing is top notch, and can't wait to view the next film from this up and coming director. Also, I have to add that the films makeup effects were great. You must thank Robin Shaw for that! As well as being the producer, she did double duty as the makeup artist. She has incredible talent and I can't wait to see her talent in other films. See ya all.

• Angels do exist.

  Working side by side with Gary Ambrosia and Alex Rouse was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Being that this is Gary Ambrosia's first film and knowing the great talent of this young man, I could not pass up the opportunity to work on this film starting off as the make-up artist and ending up as a producer. This film ended up to be so much more that I expected and I am proud to have been a part of it. The story is heart wrenching and the special effects are simple yet brilliant! This is the first big step for the talented, young director and producer, Gary Ambrosia and Alex Rouse. The Best is yet to come!! Robin Shaw

• Best Independent WWII Film That I Have Seen In A Long Time...

  Kirby-Kat2006-01-13

  This Is One Of The BEST WWII Independent Films That I Have Seen In A Long Time. Gary Really Captures The Way Life Could Have Been For Some Of Our Nations Finest. He Has A Great Eye For Detail And Knows Exactly What He Wants, Not Letting Anything Sway Him From His Vision. The Characters Are Developed Nicely. You Feel With Them As They Struggle Through Their Mission On Forgien Land, Not Knowing If Their Next Turn Is Their Last. Not Only Is Gary An Amazing Actor, But The Film Industry Will Have To Watch Out For Him As A Director! I Have A Strong Feeling About This One. He Will Start Making Many And Amazing Films In The Starting Near Future.
