I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
That was an excellent one.
Just perfect...
good back-story, and good acting
In July 2011, Aaron (Aaron Poole) and Jim (James Gilbert) are filming a documentary about local conspiracy theorist Terrance G. The man seems to be a newspaper-clipping recluse but there are plenty of people willing to agree. Everybody has their own crazy theory. Then Terrance disappears and Aaron becomes obsessed. They uncover a secret society called the Tarsus Club.I like the idea but I wish the filmmakers made more with the story. It's a low budget Toronto indie. It has some potential but it takes a bit too long with the paper clippings. There should be some men-in-black earlier. It needs to get from talking about conspiracy and dive into the conspiracy quicker. The hidden camera bit is more effective than I would have predicted but it lasts too long.
Most of this movie is trying to predict how it ends. I got some details right, but not all."Was it interesting?" While they tried to portray conspiracy theorists rather well, they didn't really show a realistic investigation to me. 2 out of 3."Was it entertaining?" There's not much character development, and the story just seems to string several movie tropes together. I was hoping for something a little more complex and exciting. 1 out of 3."Was it memorable?" The ending is the key to this type of movie, and this ending was slightly predictable but mostly a letdown. It was made well and pretty well acted. 1.5 out of 3.Starting with 1, 1 + 2 + 1 + 1.5 = 5.5With a half, I'm going to round down to 5 for the bit of disappointment of the overall ride. Maybe it's just not cup of tea.
I wouldn't call this a horror movie even though when you think about the lives we live as slaves for the rich it could be interpreted as horror. I thought the movie was really good with some truth elements for sure in it. Conspiracies about high placed people orchestrating attacks on their own country to provoke wars is obviously the truth. People that don't believe such things are just the sheep and slaves of this society. The elite allowing making movies like this is just all part of their plan of minimalizing the whole thing. And that's why the end of the movie was a little absurd for real life events. Just to make the whole movie look like fiction. The first part of the movie is more a documentary then a movie to me. I'm a believer of 70% of those conspiracies. There is no God or whatever. All religions and Gods are been created by the rich and by governments in order to scare the common people, to maintain the public order by fear. That in this time and age people are still believing in a God says enough about the intelligence of some people, and says enough about the well executed plan thousands years ago. Very good movie to me.
Great idea, making a conspiracy film about film makers making a conspiracy film... BUT it just goes nowhere... like a shaggy dog story told by a reasonably good story teller conspiracy is let down by a plot that gets thinner and thinner until there is nothing left to bite into. Yes, it's a reasonably entertaining film, I have spent many worse 1hour 20 odd minutes in front of a TV screen my life but when the punchline to The Conspiracy comes you simply think "why?"This film could have been so much more - imagine the awesome film Seven ending on a weak note. I hope someone takes the idea, forms it into something solid and makes a worthwhile film.
