Watch Habit For Free

So much average

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Admirable film.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

A New York man, Sam, has just split with his girlfriend. He is lonely, but soon becomes interested in a stranger, Anna, whom he meets at a party. However, strange things start to happen and Anna may be hiding something.It is an interesting and admirable idea to make a horror film based on mood and character rather than gore and nudity. It is much harder as fear has to be conjured up from seemingly innocent things. Horror films of this nature require more build-up and convincing drama so that they can turn it into something frightening later. The drama must be convincing so that the fear spawned out if it is also genuine."Habit" tries to get at just that, but it doesn't quite make it though. Certain sequences are really drawn out and by the end almost anyone could feel the fact that the film could be brisker instead of the drawn out hour and fifty minutes. For one the several nightmare sequences are well done, but they aren't really connected and the mysterious aura around Anna doesn't seem complete. However, despite the film's shortcomings it doesn't pad itself with sucker punches and cheap thrills. The sex scenes in particular are non-stylized yet strangely erotic.Good honest try with no cop-out, but still not all it could have been. --- 6/10Not Rated. The sexual content makes this one for audiences 16+

This film is stunning in every way imaginable. Even non horror fans can enjoy this film as it's really just using Vampires as a metaphor for relationships and being lonely. There's nothing exactly like this film, but if you enjoy it I would also recommend Immortality ( Wisdom Of The Crocodiles), another different spin on the Vampire mythos. The performances here are so realistic, you actually feel like you are watching real people, in the real world, with real problems, which is rare in Vampire films. I've seen almost every Creature Of The Night movie ever made, from the original Nosferatu, to current big budget flicks like Blade and Underworld, and all the foreign and DTDVD films in between, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that you will love Habit.

The bad movie against which I measure all other bad movies. Nothing else ever comes close to bumping it off the worst position. The director seems overfond of shots of himself peeing. Perhaps a fetish for urination is what's required to enjoy this. What ever it takes seems to be something I'm missing. I have never walked out of a movie, but this would have been the first. I was ready to get up and leave after half an hour, but that's when I realized my companion (usually an insomniac)was sleeping peacefully. I felt obligated to finish the the movie so she could sleep, and I've never let her forget the things I'll endure for friendship!

I was very impressed with this movie. As someone who has spent part of her youth working the nightlife of lower Manhattan in the 90's, I found this film's portrayal of a downtown bar owner's grappling with addiction and madness real enough to be terrifying. New York is one of the main characters as Sam, the protagonist deals with the death of a distant dad, and a break up with a girlfriend while starting up with a woman who develops a taste for his blood during sex. Apartments, parks, rooftops and subways have a prominent role in the sometimes claustrophobic and hallucinogenic experience that is NYC in the wee hours. The actor who plays Sam (who is also the director and the writer) is believable as a disheveled youngish bohemian type who has been on self destruct for some time. His sanity is pushed to the limit once he starts to believe that his feeling ill might have something to do with the bite marks that his new girlfriend has been giving him. The actress who plays Anna, the alleged vampire, is a refreshing change from the Gothic fanged hotties of Hollywood, She is a short haired, brunette, and has a quiet yet demanding presence. While there are scenes that could have used some editing, and plot development that could have used some tweaking, I would recommend this movie to anyone interested in a truly independent, story and character driven movie. If you want a Hollywood gore-fest, don't bother. If you want a creepiness on par with "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Hunger," take a deep breath, and enjoy the ride.
