Very Cool!!!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
View MoreIt was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
View MoreOne of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
View MoreSummary: The performances were good and the ending was shocking for some people, but in general Delivery: The Beast Within lacks of scares and entertainment. It is dull and trashy. 33/100 (D+)Delivery: The Beast Within is directed by Brian Netto and tells the story of Kyle and Rachel Massy, a young couple who agree to document their first pregnancy for a family-oriented reality show. The production spirals out-of-control after the cameras capture a series of unexplained events, leading Rachel to believe that a malevolent spirit has possessed their unborn child. I will make it easy to you, look at the poster, then watch the trailer and the last 5 minutes of the movie. That's it. It promises a lot and delivers nothing. First of all, this film is somewhat derivative. It offers little to the genre, and there's nothing special or original about it. It's not an awful movie, it's just boring.It is filled with so many tired clichés, such as: the dog that obviously dies, camera malfunctions, etc. You have seen it before, skip it. There were a few original ideas like all the paintings of the pregnant woman and how her art has changed since she's pregnant. I actually liked the first act of the film, it was well executed, but as the film goes, it became boring, and the found-footage made it even more tedious. It has good performances, shout-out here to Laurel Vail, she's the protagonist and the best thing about this flick; she was believable and scary. The main actor Danny Barclay was pretty good too, but his character was annoying at times.This director has lots of potential, this film has some great ideas, for example how this pregnant woman expresses her demonic side through her paintings. This movie had its sad and tense moments. For a moment, I really felt like I was watching a TV show, good job director! But this was at the beginning of the film, as I said above. I liked the first minutes of the movie because the found- footage was effective, but after the first half, this format became tedious. It had its moments, but it was boring as a whole. Maybe with a few more bucks and without the found-footage, it would be a decent movie. I'm still interested on this director. What will he do next? (D+)
View MoreI've become disenfranchised with the supernatural-based horror genre. Probably because I've grown up and not a lot truly scares me anymore. In fact I think movies with fully represented and fleshed out monsters are more funny than scary. I find myself creeped out more by horror films that have some sense of... I don't want to say 'realism' but at least some sense of plausibility to them with as few supernatural requirements as possible, which is why I think I like Delivery. In the end, nothing truly supernatural happens, which is what I think some people were expecting, but I think this film continues in the tradition of The Blair Witch (hey, it wasn't that bad) in letting your imagination do all the work. I find the ending of this film to be far more shocking than if an actual demon did pop out of her. And in the age of reality shows that are more or less exactly like this, I think the set up of this film was perfectly staged. Again, not for everyone. But if you're looking for a good psychological scare, check this one out.
View MoreI had been waiting for a while to watch this and I was not disappointed. I actually got more than I expected.I loved the way they showed the first episode of the 'reality TV show' that was being filmed as the first part of the movie. That was very original and created a great mood.The acting was great and I thought the build up was perfect. I didn't think that there was anything unusual about the actions of the characters (its very hard to make a pregnant women do what she doesn't want to do).I also appreciated that they didn't try to scare with loud noises and in-your-face scares. It was subtle, creepy and much more realistic. The story has been done before but in my opinion this is one of the better versions.All in all I would place this at the above average level as far as 'found footage' movies go, and I've watched a lot of FF. 8/10.
View MoreNot really a "Found Footage" movie fan however this one got me hooked till the end . Scary parts may not be that scary at all but you get this uneasiness feeling that gets you focused during the film . Cast was OK and acting well done .Story is presented like a documentary and from start to finish does not disappoint.It's worth watching if you're a ''Found Footage'' fan and if you're not then you'll still get along with it pretty well .Thumb ups !
