One of the best films i have seen
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
View MoreOh my holy,merciful God.This movie managed to accomplish what thousands of movies before it have failed to do: Brink me to the threshhold of nausea from the inanity and ambiguity that reeked from this film.With the possible exception of the puzzling lesbian sex scene in the opening,this movie would have received no stars (Oops,I guess that's not allowed).Not even the prescence of the very talented Alexandra Breckinridge could save this movie;the primary reason that I watched it in the first place.What,for instance,happened with very noble Benoit? The last we see of him he is entering Kate's apartment,presumably to have sex,and then nothing after that.Are we supposed to assume that she imagined the whole encounter? Or was this film just directionless enough to not bother showing him after that;that he had sex with Kate and drifted away into the night? And who the hell did Kate sink the hammer into at the end? We're led to believe that it was her girlfriend Leah because all the audience sees is feminine arm.But why would Leah(assuming it's her) practically sneak into her own apartment without even announcing her prescence or even uttering a word for that matter to a woman not very well put together mentally(the prior suicide attempt) before creeping up on her? Makes no sense whatsoever and,trust me,I'm just scratching the surface here.Film like these ,however,give me hope that I can one day make my own film and have a better than 90% chance of it not being this bad.
View MoreI literally don't have words to describe how awful this movie is. The ENTIRE time all the main character does is do random stuff around the house that has literally no point and there is absolutely no context or background. Absolutely nothing interesting happens until the last five seconds of the movie and it still doesn't explain anything. Even after finishing the movie I still had no idea what was going on or what the point of the movie was. Don't WASTE YOUR TIME. I'd rather watch sharknado for the rest of my life than watch this movie one more time.
View MoreI give this film a 3 only because of Whitney Able's performance. Had this been a better written better executed film she may have won a Golden Globe or perhaps even gotten an Academy nod. Instead because of poor marketing coupled with boring as heck story telling this goes ignored; except by people like me who get taken in by the poster that makes it seem like a horror movie set during the 2003 NYC blackout.Do not be fooled by the IMDb categorization of this as a horror movie nor as a thriller. It is neither. It is a tale of a woman with some undisclosed and never talked about mental condition who, blackout or not, losing her grip on sanity as a single night passes.That is right. The blackout has nada to do with her fall from sanity. She is not afraid of the dark (she actually goes out to a bar during the event). She is not seeing dead people in the dark. The blackout featured in the packaging and promo has nothing to do with her state of mind.The film starts and stops. It seems to be going somewhere and then, no, we're back hanging out in the candle lit apartment. We're taken on a trip out a window and part way down a fire escape only to be, yes you guessed it, right back in the apartment again.The cherry on top is yet another NON ENDING. We are not quite exactly certain what happened as it is undefined. We are left to ASSUME Kate took a hammer and boom boxed (she smashes a boom box with the hammer) another character but... did she? Is she imagining it? Are we seeing what she is seeing or what she is imagining?? Before the camera can reveal the truth... the credits roll.Whatever happened to writers actually coming up with clever or decisive endings?? If you're looking for a psych tale of a young woman losing her mind over the course of an evening then this film is for you! If you want a thriller or horror film... stay away!
View MoreI never write reviews for movies, but this was just a waste of my time and all involved in the movie. While I wasn't expecting much with the score it has on IMDb, I usually don't let that stop me from watching a film that intrigues me. Well, in this case I should have.The lead role is so uninteresting. She's a yoga instructor, but she sure doesn't look like one (not slim and slender plus she smokes - things you don't usually see in a yoga teacher), she acts like she's the prettiest thing in town (don't get me wrong, she is pretty, but her ego is waaay too big and her attitude towards men is as if her poo don't stink), she acts weird in the beginning when she's having sex with her girlfriend (which i might have missed the explanation, but don't understand why), and the last part of the movie was pure torture (watching her flail around in the darkness, using the camera to light her way...)The worst part of all, there was no point. Where was the pinnacle? I kept watching and hoping, just to be let down. People don't waste your time on this flick.
