Lack of good storyline.

An action-packed slog

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A British poetry professor (is there even such a thing?!) is having an affair with one of his students, the filthy bastard! Suddenly she dies for reasons that are never clearly explained, which serves him right. What a dick.40 years later...The professor somehow discovers that the Muses of Greek mythology are real, and that they screw around with human affairs by manipulating people through... poetry. (Yes, that is literally the premise of this film). Why? Because fuck you, that's why. :confused: Those of us who are familiar with Greek mythology will know that there were nine Muses: Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, and Urania. The film reduces their number to six (or seven? the plot seemed rather confused on this point), changes their names, and completely rewrites their respective roles.It took me three attempts to finish this movie, because I kept falling asleep.I rate Muse at 13.32 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a turgid 4/10 on IMDB.

Worth to watch if you like mystery and horror movies. Solid ending, a bit predictable, but good.

Well, I must confess that I love almost all work of Jaume Balaguero.That being said, I learned something a while ago: when the movie have an awesome opening credits sequence that give me the lead that it wont be a good movie.And I was right. This movie have a SPECTACULAR opening credits sequence, and it wasn't very good.Why, then, I rated 8/10? Becuase it have all what I like from Balaguero's work. Wonderful special effects, good actors/actresses, great visual sequences (beautiful, let me say) and a supernatural mythology that could be expanded. But it let me with no surprises, I knew where it will lead, it was predictable, and most of all, the story wasn't very good developed to feel for any of the characters.Some things were rushed (like the two leads atraction) and the secondary characters were not good.The good: the cinematography, atmosphere, visual effects, and creepy scenes. Good acting.The bad: not good story, not good development on characters.Watch at your own risk.

There are a few brief moments that resemble horror, but Muse is really more of a supernatural thriller or a dark adventure. It's not going to be anyone's favorite movie of the year, but it's still a pretty solid production, with good cinematography, cast, and characters.The big issue here is the core premise, which is actually really interesting and filled with potential, but ends up feeling a little underdeveloped. I wish there would have been more backstory on the individual muses and that we'd have gotten to see more of their interesting powers. I have to give the movie credit for at least making me that interested that I wanted more of what it had though. Overall it was still a good, enjoyable film that kept my attention the whole time and I didn't regret my time spent on it.
