Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreIt's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreIt's a decent horror film, very true to this era with its style and cool music. I had fun watching it, but annoyed I didn't get exact answers. I didn't want hints, I didn't want to guess WHAT they were, just wanted to be told exactly. I think I have it figured out but seriously make a wiki page and spell it out for me please. I'd also say rent but don't buy. Really good acting by the cast also which I can't say about most movies in its category I watch on amazon. So there's that. It's about as good as Death Note, but not as good as The Night Before.
... View MoreSo yes I have many questions after just now finishing this and its the first time I watched a movie I can't just go to Wikipedia and read the full synopsis to see what I am missing so if you're reading this miss director please make a wikipedia page for people like me! So there's a lot to just fall in love with because this movie looks like a fancy indie music video with lots of colors and warmths and everyone like the whole cast literally glows beautifully golden while the "normal" folks are darker haired. Very very good art department and I really loved the chemistry between the son and Hilary (so hot!) I thought at times the girl playing Hilary seemed young and at other times it was like she seemed 30, but in the film she's more like the parent to her dad than him to her. She takes care of him a lot and that really connected with me on a personal note and I think it will with others too. There were so many layers to this. But I have questions and I really really really want answers so I am taking 2 points away as Hilary said to her bestie via FaceTime "Sorryyyy"
... View MoreI actually didn't choose this one, my partner did, and she was kind of watching it on her own and then I just had to start watching with her (instead of doing work like I was meant to be doing). I think for us it was fun because we both figured out different things like she instantly saw things I did not and vise versa and actually I appreciated that the writer didn't just assume only braindead people would be watching, thus giving us all the answers in an easy to open box. But I still had questions, and not sure how they will be answered? I am really hoping someone starts a wikipedia page to answer it all. But this didn't ruin it the flick was fun and I loved the ending and how it wasn't all sappy-happy. I disagree that it looked like it was filmed on VHS to me I could tell this was one nice camera and I think it looked as good as the shows I watch on Netflix. Were there some kind of corny moments? Oh yeah especially with one of the actors who kind of got on my nerves but most of the acting was really good. Would I watch it again? Meh, if I were in the right mood maybe? I wouldn't spend more than $6 on it.
... View MoreThe director had good taste when they were casting the actors. The family of boys and their mom actually look so much alike, and they move alike, they sound alike, and that is sweet because in other movies when they don't look alike its hard for me to follow the story because I don't believe anything. But in this I was like looking up everybody to see whose related to each other. The actress playing Hilary I would like to ask her hand in marriage, oh swerve doe, she was amazing. Some of the acting was kind of cheesy with the blond girls but maybe they were supposed to be stereotyped like that or something? I figured out the family is like a group of creatures and they go from town to town quietly so the mother can feed and they're all sneaky and charming. I bought it and it's good and I'll watch it again.
