n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreSummary: The performances were good and the ending was shocking for some people, but in general Delivery: The Beast Within lacks of scares and entertainment. It is dull and trashy. 33/100 (D+)Delivery: The Beast Within is directed by Brian Netto and tells the story of Kyle and Rachel Massy, a young couple who agree to document their first pregnancy for a family-oriented reality show. The production spirals out-of-control after the cameras capture a series of unexplained events, leading Rachel to believe that a malevolent spirit has possessed their unborn child. I will make it easy to you, look at the poster, then watch the trailer and the last 5 minutes of the movie. That's it. It promises a lot and delivers nothing. First of all, this film is somewhat derivative. It offers little to the genre, and there's nothing special or original about it. It's not an awful movie, it's just boring.It is filled with so many tired clichés, such as: the dog that obviously dies, camera malfunctions, etc. You have seen it before, skip it. There were a few original ideas like all the paintings of the pregnant woman and how her art has changed since she's pregnant. I actually liked the first act of the film, it was well executed, but as the film goes, it became boring, and the found-footage made it even more tedious. It has good performances, shout-out here to Laurel Vail, she's the protagonist and the best thing about this flick; she was believable and scary. The main actor Danny Barclay was pretty good too, but his character was annoying at times.This director has lots of potential, this film has some great ideas, for example how this pregnant woman expresses her demonic side through her paintings. This movie had its sad and tense moments. For a moment, I really felt like I was watching a TV show, good job director! But this was at the beginning of the film, as I said above. I liked the first minutes of the movie because the found- footage was effective, but after the first half, this format became tedious. It had its moments, but it was boring as a whole. Maybe with a few more bucks and without the found-footage, it would be a decent movie. I'm still interested on this director. What will he do next? (D+)
... View MoreThis is a fantastic little film, very few actors, (and all 'unknowns', as far as I'm aware) and the two leads should have a good career in front of them. Sweet young couple Kyle and Rachel agree to have their pregnancy followed by a film crew for a new reality show, and then things start getting interesting ... There are some great ways to spice up the 'found footage' genre, (Afflicted is another one), and the film makers do a great job here, as you're never quite sure if Rachel might just be a little crazy with pregnancy hormones?? I found this most enjoyable and I got some genuine shivers. Horror fans will be pleasantly surprised.
... View MoreTruly a remarkable thriller that gets your attention. It keeps you engaged from beginning to the end. The acting, writing and directing are solid and draws you in. Just when you think you are watching another reality show the plot twists into a demonic thriller. But is It really? demonic thriller? The films ending produces a cathartic response. And questions arise. Is It demonic or is it mental illness? Or a combination of both? Unexpected end for sure. This pseudo-documentary stylized film exceeds expectations and rises above the rest of its GENRE. So now you have to watch it and live the experience on your own.
... View More...But I was glued!It came across as very real and authentic. The acting was just fine, I never questioned it or noticed anything bad about it.The mood was exactly as the director must have wanted: sweet and warm, then a little spooky, and then just toe-tapping rush at the end!Not since 'Buried' have I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat almost wishing it would end but also dreading the moment it does!That's entertainment! What more can you ask?There are no 'oh come on just get with it!' moments. The story is presented documentary style and nicely continues rolling and building until the end.If this is a low budget movie, I am highly impressed!I appreciate the movie not wasting my time with needless yammering, pointless dialogue, or just flat out falling apart by the end. If you like 'real feeling' documentary/behind the scenes type horror movies, you'll get a kick out of this one!
