Purely Joyful Movie!
... View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
... View MoreOk... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
... View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
... View MoreI felt ashamed by the end of the movie. I thought the actors were doing a spoof of terrible indie movies. This one wanted to be a horror movie, but I can only see it scaring a timid 8 year old in 1991. Such horrible acting and a script that is just so awful make this a very painful experience to sit through. I felt as though I was marking a student's film that they did in lieu of a thesis. Nobody is convincing. Black guy is not scary just because he is black. Prostitutes from Degrassi Jr High. Lead actors are terribly ugly and really deserved a good scalping. I will bring my score up to 5/10 if it's revealed that the cast really did all die in real life.
... View MoreI found paying attention to this tiresome and a challenge, a challenge I apparently could not conquer cause I'm pretty sure a spent more time daydreaming than being entertained by this film. The acting was average for a low budget and I am not reviewing to actor bash and I think the actors were fine and it was just the dialog they were handed along with the execution as a whole that just built no suspense to allow viewers to connect to the characters or the film as a whole. It simply failed to pull me in. With that said I thought perhaps it was just my mood so I took a second attempt and my opinion hasn't changed. The fake reviews on here are so misleading, no way people are giving this a 10 star unless involved in the film themselves which is sad because if the film was at all descent it would get 5-6 star average on it's own which for the horror genre is good on here and rating this a 10 star isn't gonna magically make the movie good, if anything it raise expectations and leaves viewers even more disappointed than they originally would be after watching.
... View MoreI watched this movie on VOD with my boyfriend and here are my honest female perspective thoughts, take them for what they are:Cut is a very good thriller (I rated an 8) that pays close attention to the detail in the story telling adventure. It is a very smart story that poses as something that seems overly generic at times in the beginning, but is, in actuality, far from it. Once we realize what is really going on, it all makes sense and I felt infantile and silly for not seeing it coming. The movie does not spoon feed the audience with the obvious and assumes there is a level of intelligence in the viewer, which I really appreciate.Yes, I wish a few of the ideas had been developed a bit more, but most movies have that flaw. And for a lower budget (I'm guessing under a million), the acting is solid and the stylistic imagery is well done. If you are looking for a true horror movie with excessive blood and guts, you may be disappointed, but I don't think that is what this movie is meant to be. When we get to the end, the choice of the visual style all makes sense and is rather brilliant.In response to some of the posts here and on other movies, it's quite sad how some people just have to say nasty things just to say them. Maybe it makes them feel important, not sure. Some get into a debate over silly things which have no foundational value at all, but these are probably the same people who were bullies in high school and now have nothing better to do.It seems that the bad reviews here all say similar things about only watching a few minutes then skipping around. It's quite a shame that you chose to judge something before seeing it all the way through, but maybe you were just looking for a gore fest of obligatory images of blood and boobs. Cut is very well done and definitely worth a watch, but you have to be smart enough to put it together.
... View MoreCUT! is a well paced thriller that is entertaining throughout and has some nice surprises at the end. In a genre often populated with violence for its own sake, Rountree and Banks present a psychological thriller that oozes more suspense than blood, although there is plenty of blood to go around, and the moments of terror are indeed horrific. I was hooked from beginning to end - this film just never lets up. The acting is superb, the visuals and sound are stellar, and the editing is brilliant. This is a well crafted work of art that merits repeated viewing. I've seen it twice and it's even better the second time around. You'll want this film in your library. Recommended!
