Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Am I Missing Something?
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
A boring,incoherent,long movie,with bad dialogs,and screenplay.Do your self a favor,and stay away from this movie.The sentence before this was a real warning,today you can find bad movies with some entertaining value,but as far as I recognized,this movie was just a long and boring effort from people don't know how to engage the audience.After I've seen this,I had a feeling that this was just a footage with some element that the movie needs,but the incoherent creators don't know how to edit it,after they shoot-ed the footage.I'am sure there are lot of underrated serial-killer movies out there without a good marketing,but this was not that.Don't see this film.
For a first time director / producer / writer team this is not a bad movie. It has its rough parts, it is not a polished as a production from a major studio or development group. But that is some of its charm.The story holds together throughout the movie and builds to a climax and letdown. The DVD extra features explain how long the process was to make this movie. The writer director story boarded the whole thing. The production values are very high for their budget. They shot what they needed and did not waste much time on extra footage.The plot twist at the end was somewhat confusing because of all the visuals that you had to catch to understand that the killer was not his father but his mother, and the person he thought was his mother was not. Once those concepts fall into place the ending becomes clear. This movie needs to be seen a couple of times to catch the subtle clues.This is not guerrilla film making - with a single set and some of the filming done on the cuff. A good example semi-guerrilla film making is the film by Darren Aronofsky in 2000 "Requium for a Dream": that cost $4.5 million 5 years ago. Aronofskys' first non-student movie was Pi in 1998. It was done in black and white for $60k in 1998.An interesting start of a career, lets see what they can bring us in the future.
I almost did not rent this movie due to the art on the DVD jacket, which is similar to the horror genre, but I gave it a look-see just in case. I'm glad I did.Even though I had the baddie figured out early on in the movie, I found the concept of genetic memories with a different slant in a movie to be interesting. I wish more had been added into this subject regarding the powder and the Indians, which would have given this movie more of a smart flash.Regardless, I did enjoy the performances of Zane, Margaret and Hopper. I was pleasantly surprised to see Zane with more meat on his bones and is becoming a more seasoned actor. Of course, from a female perspective, I certainly didn't turn away when he took his shirt off! He's still hot. I think that this threesome made a very good complimentary combination together, and would like to see other movies similarly cast.The movie didn't really drag too much in my opinion as other comments made here. There are more visuals than explaining dialog/narrative, which were all very well done. If more dollars could have gone into this movie, it would have been a bigger box office seller. The talent was definitely there in the casting, directing, audio and visuals, but stops a wee short in lacking the extra substance, such as what I've mentioned ... something more about the genetic memory angle.All in all, I liked this movie and recommend the rental fee, and enjoy some popcorn.
I went to the premiere of it in New Orleans last Wednesday and I thought it had a great plot and fabulous twists! My moms boyfriend executive produced it thats when it started to interest me; it has been slow moving ever since last year when they had conflicts with putting in music. I think the acting in the movie was excellent for Ann-Margret and Dennis Hopper. Terry Chen was hilarious. Billy Zane and Tricia Helfer were pretty good in their roles as well! I think this is a movie worth seeing if you like movies that have various twist and huge mysteries. This isn't a horror movie, but a psychological thriller that has some parts that will make you jump, and even some parts that will make you cry. I give this movie two thumbs up!
