Watch The Chosen For Free

So much average

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

When I found "The Chosen" I had no knowledge about it at all. I didn't know who starred in it or what it was about. I just happened to find it in the horror section. And being a horror fan I needed very little persuasion in order to pick it up and give it a go.I must say that I found the story to be rather interesting. It was a good story concept and there were some rather twisted and disturbing elements to it, such as having to sacrifice your own family members in order for a single person to remain alive and having to pick out which ones to sacrifice. It should be said that the story was rather predictable, so don't expect any curve balls here.The acting in the movie was adequate, although I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list. Which, in itself, is a plus for me, because I like watching new acting talents in movies.For a horror movie that involved a hellish entity, then it was a movie that was rather scarce on special effects. Sure, there were special effects and CGI in the movie, just used in moderation. Which was a shame, because it felt like it held the movie back.The movie was in overall adequate, but at times it felt a bit forced and rigid at times. Whether that was because of the director or the writers I do not know. But it was an enjoyable enough movie for what it turned out to be.As for the ending of the movie, well it made very little sense to me, so I guess that whatever the writers were aiming at was lost on me.All in all, "The Chosen" scores 5 out of 10 stars from me.

Another flick that picks in on the genre that is so popular nowadays. The possession. Here we do have a daughter being possessed by a demon only to be exorcised by killing people with the same bloodline.So far so good and the acting was mediocre so on that part i didn't had any problems but it's the CGI effects used that made it a low profile flick. The demon appears in some kind of cloud to attack it's pray. The cloud is done CGI and isn't believable. To summon the demon they have to put a sign on the chosen body with blood. The problem is that the blood used didn't look like blood, way too red. There's nothing scary and the atmosphere build with the grandfather in his wheelchair is a bit lame. Still, it's watchable but once the end credits are running you are already forgotten this flick. Are you the chosen one to watch it?Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 1,5/5 Comedy 0/5

Another yawner about a demon who leeches itself to children and leaves the affected family looking for its "pound of flesh," so to speak.Cameron is left in charge of his niece, Angie, while his mom goes visiting. They live in a house with their grandparents, both afflicted in some way or the other. Even though Cam's mother forbids him to take Angie to see her real mother, an ex druggie, where's the first place they go once mom is out of sight? You guess it. During the visit, there seems to be a horrible argument going on next door so Cam (naturally) investigates. Angie follows. Angie is then overcome by a LOT of second-hand smoke and has a proclivity for big eyeballs. Cameron then finds out Angie has become possessed by "the devil's whore, a/k/a Lillith." In order to save her, he must kill six people in seven days and offer them as sacrifices.Another amateur-night-at-the-Bijou attempt at horror that was so confusing it was hard for me to keep everything straight. In fact, I don't think I did. The script was absolutely absurd because in one part of the movie you have the girlfriend who suddenly is upset about morals...while all along she's been trying to help Cam kill people. Go figure.The movie is unrated and has some minimal violence, faux lovemaking, and language.

It's been a while since I've seen a movie so terrible I quit part way through. I'd actually been doing a fairly good job of selecting half way decent movies. This time I struck out (that's what I get for going with Netflix selections for me).The plot of the movie is straight forward (I guess). Lilith, the first wife of Adam (as in Adam and Eve) is a child stealer because yada yada yada. That's pretty much what it sound like to me once the woman said Adam had a wife before Eve that was banished from Eden for not obeying Adam.At any rate: child possession... weak scare tactics... ominous music... poor acting... etcetera etcetera... I quit.
