The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
... View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreExactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
... View MoreWatched this with my Boy Kyle at work. Was up Killa?! Anyway, this turned out to be really good. You have to get past the low budget kinda filmed presumably in video..not film look, then you can enjoy. It's shot well, acted as good as i would expect. The plot isn't to bad. A bit far-fetched, but...it's great. It's a fun movie about a crazy lady with an obsession ( not all that oral though ) with men she can't have. Death, murder and teeth pulling ensue. You will notice a bit of the stepfather in there too. Nothing like he's going to save the day...aww he's dead. Ending a bit weird, but worth the viewing for sure.PIT
... View MoreYou know how there are some movies that are just so awful that you just can't stop watching them? - Sadly, this ain't one of them. It's just plain dull. All you're in for is a boring hour and a half of a less than mediocre movie. There are many scenes that are contrived. but they aren't laughably, over the top, contrived (which would have redeemed the movie somewhat). eg. the prison escape scene - I'm pretty sure there's more to escaping prison than just knocking out the guard... Aren't there like layers of doors you have to get buzzed through? - and how about the chick fight scene - Despite having her head repeatedly pummeled with a golf club, each chick in turn, fully recuperates in mere seconds to 100% fighting strength and counter attacks the other. - I think this goes on for 3 iterations.To sum up... If you're hoping for a train wreck of a movie - Don't bother. In fact, the only reason I could see someone enjoying the movie is if he/she had friends involved with it.... speaking of which ....I did some spot checking on the review history of anyone giving this movie a positive rating... I couldn't find a single positive reviewer who had reviewed any other movie - just this one. So either: A. They honestly thought this was so fantastic a movie as to warrant their registering onto IMDb and submitting their first ever review. ...or...B. They are shills who are hyping up a movie that they or their mom/son/partner/etc. worked on.
... View MoreI'm getting more and more convinced most of the comments to this movie that are on here are actually written by people affiliated with the making of it. Nobody in their right mind could give this 10/10, not even 5. The idea isn't new, the actors, especially Kerry Aissa, deliver the generic, painfully predictable story boringly and just plain bad. While some of the self mutilation may cause you to cringe, it can not remotely make up for the rest of this terrible movie. The camera work is static and can not add any suspense to the overused cliché situations that have been done countless times before.3/10
... View MoreThrough a friend, I got the chance to catch an early screening of Oral. I really didn't know much about it, but, hey, free movie and all, so why not check it out? It scared the crap out of me.The movie was great for a lot of reasons, but what I appreciated most about the film was the carefully orchestrated sense of dread that permeated the entire film. Most often these days, when a director wants to terrify you, he has some fast cuts to blood and gore, plus a couple screams tossed in for good measure. Oral is all about the psychological and the director and cast clearly understand that the best way to terrify someone isn't through more and more gore, but through the subtle twist of character and plot.
