Simply A Masterpiece
Lack of good storyline.
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
The movie was good i like dark psychological horror so this was a surprise i wasnt expecting much and really enjoyed the movie. I enjoy movies that have something diffrent than run of the mill horror so i liked it
I went into this movie knowing the backstory of the 15 year+ production by a crack addicted director that died before it was completed, knowing this was gonna be a real trip. I was sure that I would struggle thru it going away with some interesting scenes. But I was wrong.This film is a rare thing. It has a decent story with some nice twists that don't come of as forced. The acting from the lead that plays Dennis is excellent and carries the movie with his split personalities. The style and technical camera work is insane for such a small movie. A big portion of the scenes are very plain and ugly but the dream sequences and other strange happenings, that bleed into the real world of the story, are incredible. This film isn't for everyone, but if you want to get a break from the typical jump scare horror I hope you give it a go.
This was a good enough movie that I wouldn't have felt ripped off if I had spent money to rent it, which is more than I can say for most of the horror I'd been picking up at Redbox. To find this on Amazon Prime, I'd actually give it a 10 using the "Prime Curve". Koehler did a spectacular job portraying different personalities, thought admittedly SPF's acting was a little flat. The story is pretty original as far as I'm concerned and it had my attention from the beginning through the end. Yes, some of what happened was a little predictable, but that's just the direction the story was going. I know when Koehler began getting "suggestions" I was taken aback and thought this would indeed be a fun watch and wasn't disappointed. The ending was honestly more than I was expecting, and although maybe a little over the top, it was really entertaining. As far as Prine movies go, this was a really nice surprise. You definitely won't feel like you've wasted 90 minutes of your life. This was more than one of those time fillers just because I need something to watch, it was truly entertaining. Don't know what the deal is with the few 1 star reviews. Definitely above average.
Brilliant special effects and avant garde theatrics - this movie comes ever so close to being an instant cult classic. The brilliant, but ultimately annoying portrayal of the mentally retarded and easily manipulated Dennis puts the other poor acting and awkward scenes to shame however it does show an insidious subculture of deliberate manipulation and entrapment under the guise of a Tales from the Crypt style presentation. This could have been truly great.
