As Good As It Gets

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Slow and Boring and completely predictable with an end that does not tie in If you are like me who has seen all the big name popular thrillers and are now looking for indie hidden gems , you can skip this one coz it is not one of them. I am a fan of movies that are well done even if they are low budget and without star cast so i decided to give this a chance since the plot line seems really interesting but it fails to do it justice. Firstly i could barely continue watching it got so dull and boring but since i had seen some positive reviews i thought i should stick it out in the hopes of it really sinking in but that moment never came and the twist that some people are raving about is a twist for the sake of twist. A well written twist ties in with the rest of the plot and involves characters that are explored in the movie which would make something like that effective but in this case does absolutely nothing. If you take the twist ending out the rest of the movie is as dull and predictable as they come. From the summary you would expect that it is about the struggle of the kid as he looks up to this killer but in reality there is no struggle. But that's the price you pay for taking a risk with a an indie thriller, they are often less known for a particular reason, in this case because it is not good.

PROS: I don't even know where to begin. To start, the development of terror is just so outstanding words can't describe it. You get sucked in a little bit with everything that happens. Every scene further adds to the anxiety that the movie is predisposed to give you anyway. Then to top it all off, you get an amazing climax. A truly, horrifying finish to add on to an already gruesome film. The thing that I felt helped the movie the most would be the acting. The directing was good, the script was good, but most importantly the acting was good. Each actor really became the character. This gave that extra bit of darkness that really was the embodiment the film. Another thing that was breathtaking was the ending. For some reason I assumed that the resolution would be stereotypical and cliché, but it was anything but that. The reason this film is a true psychological horror and not a slasher horror is because of the ending. The shock and true unnerving quality the ending possessed is what made this film a 5/5 for me.CONS:www.chorror.com

As an horror movie, I did not find it that scary or that gory. To me it is a heavily dark humorous view of father-son relationship. Many of Bob's line are similar to what fathers usually say to their sons, including "you have disappointed me" or "it's important to have notions or people will walk over you". Even the surrealistic process to try and teach Rabbit his own "profession", the graduation gift and so on. It is not a comedy, but it made me laugh.Besides this Bob's character cannot have been a serial killer for more than ten years. Actual SKs 'want' to be caught. Actual SK don't kill on demand.One of the best line is: "Did your father teach you things? Or was he just f****d up?"

A very disturbing ride into the sadistic mind of a serial killer. Start with the abduction of a Mother and Son. Kill the Mother but keep the son who is only 9 years old. There ensues the torture and mental abuse that keep this poor child on the brink of madness. Chained for most of his life and being under the constant eye of the serial killer who took his mother's life. "Rabbit" beings to deteriorate while hiding inside his own mind. The murders continue (all are off screen for those of you who want to know). Great cast! Great plot! It keeps you on the edge of your seat and the turn at the end is unexpected. I would love to see "Chained 2". Worth a watch!!!
