Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The cover/poster was very unnerving and the advertising likewise. Really liked the concept too, not an original one perhaps but it sounded really intriguing and was already admiring it tackling a heavy and daring theme that resonated with me, having been badly bullied myself. All those things were enough to make want to see it.'Some Kind of Hate' turned out not to be a great film, there are issues here. But for a low-budget horror recent viewing as part of one of my many quests recently, 'Some Kind of Hate' is easily up there with the few ones that was actually decent. When it comes to the reviews, can see both sides, found it to be a film with obvious strengths but also one that is easy to find fault with. Am one of those whose feelings are mutual, but admired what it set out to do, it doesn't waste its idea and its tackling of the theme was brave.Lets start with the good things. 'Some Kind of Hate' looks good, there is a sense of dark unsettlement, some very creepy gore and make-up, the editing was at least cohesive and the photography not trying to do too much but having enough to stop it being static. The music is suitably ominous and there is tension, creepiness and suspense when the film gets going. The second half is very unnerving and boasts some well-timed and inventive kills.The acting is much better than average, with the standout performances coming from Grace Phipps and especially Sierra McCormick, the latter being both frightening and poignant. Did find myself identifying with Lincoln, having been a bully victim and being introverted, though Moira is more interesting and should have had the bigger focus. Was at least engaged for much of the duration, had no trouble understanding what was going on, was emotionally invested and at no point was my intelligence insulted.As aforementioned, there are drawbacks too. The first third is a bit slow and ordinary, it could have gotten to the point quicker and had less of the slightly dull setting up. The script is quite a big weakness, it is not always easy to take it seriously, there is some awkwardness and cheese and it could have been tighter.It is agreed that some of the film does get silly, didn't buy some of the victims/bullies' reactions before their fates, no sense of genuine fright and with a too "trying to make conversation at a reunion" chemistry, that does undermine the build up somewhat. The sound quality is not always well balanced with it tending to favour the music. Would have liked more development to the characters, only Lincoln and Moira are developed quite well while the others are fairly sketchy despite the film doing a good job making one hate them.All in all, better than expected though not without things to criticise. 6/10 Bethany Cox
Lincoln, a bullied rock kid, is sent out to a reform school out in the desert after sticking a fork in the face of one of his tormentors. Unfortunately the bullying starts all over again, however the spirit of a bullied dead girl called Moira just happens to be on hand to carry out bloody revenge on his new tormentors, often by razor blade. Quite an interesting idea. Can't help but feel sorry for this guy, though he does find comfort in the arms of a beautiful girl. Some fairly good gore to be seen, acting and production values both reasonable. Look out for a short mid-credits scene. Pretty average overall.
Maladjusted adolescent misfit Lincoln Taggert (a solid and sympathetic performance by Ronen Rubinstein) gets sent to a remote school for troubled kids. After Lincoln finds himself being mercilessly tormented by a group of mean bullies, he inadvertently conjures up the lethal spirit of fellow deceased bully victim Moira (well played with frightening intensity by Sierra McCormick), who embarks on a ferocious vengeful spree.Director Adam Egypt Mortimer, who also co-wrote the dark script with Brian DeLeeuw, presents an interesting array of credibly messed-up teen characters, makes nice use of the desolate desert locations, generates a good deal of tension, maintains an appropriately bleak'n'brooding atmosphere throughout, astutely nails a strong sense of adolescent angst and anger, and delivers a generous amount of nasty gore. The sound acting by the capable cast keeps this movie humming, with especially stand-out work from Grace Phipps as the sultry and spunky, yet spiteful Kaitlin, Spencer Breslin as loyal friend Derek, Maestro Harrell as the antagonistic Willie, and Michael Polish as ineffectual camp supervisor Jack Iverson. The uncompromisingly grim ending packs a devastating punch. The filmmakers warrant extra praise for depicting the severe emotional and psychological damage wrought by bullying in an unflinchingly stark and brutal manner. Kudos are also in order for Robert Allare's moody score and Benji Bakshi's crisp widescreen cinematography. A worthy scarefest.
"Some Kind of Hate" is another horror movie about bullied teenagers. It seems it's been kind of bad year for Lincoln, a (nudge/nudge; wink/wink) teenager who has been bullied at school most of his life, decides to fight back, and is (of course) blamed for everything. Link is then carted to some kind of school to get in touch with his feelings and ask someone for a hug. There lies the problem. The character of Link was so lifeless, so hackneyed, so clichéd, I felt nothing for him. Most of his acting consisted of stumbling around, hunched over, with his hair constantly in his eyes. And, of course, the minute he arrives at the school, he is immediately bullied by a group of troglodytes and their leader.Here is where the movie lost me for a second or two. He runs (as he usually does when confronted by anyone) into some abandoned building, and the next thing you know he has "awakened" Moira, a girl who also attended this school and was murdered. It seems for whatever reason, Moira decides she's going to get even with his bullies for him. What confused me was HOW did Link "conjure" up her spirit when he sat cross-legged in the corner and said nary word? Moira was just suddenly there, and the killing begins.The character of Link should have NEVER been made the major character. As stated before, he just could not carry the movie. The character of Moira, however, is who the writers should have centered this movie around. Moira, superbly played by Sierra McCormick, could actually act. I believed her "pain." I felt her need for revenge. But, alas, the writers and director decided their causes would be better served if they put in some lame-ass love interest for Link and bore the audience to death.The producer, director, and writers of "So Much Hate" missed a huge opportunity to give this genre a shot in the arm. This movie is rated "R" for graphic violence and brief nudity. I cannot say it's a sure-fire hit, but for its type, it's really not too bad.
