Movie Review: The Deaths of Ian Stone

This film is one of the "Films to Die For" from the 2007 Horrorfest. The main character, the aptly named Ian Stone, dies over and over, eventually realizing that each of his bleak existences (and deaths) are being arranged by some outside force. It's a Gothic cross between Groundhogs Day and The Jacket, with a splash of The Matrix for good measure.

Not really a must-see, pretty much average in all respects, although the sfx were well-done, and more importantly, not overdone. (Except maybe the masks towards the end...)

I tried watching the "Miss Horrorfest 2007 Pageant" in the DVD bonus features, but it's all apparently online for free, and I'd say it's hardly worth the price. Like hockey or football, it's something I'd rather experience than watch.
