Very Cool!!!
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreI almost didn't watch this because I tend to steer clear of movies with a rating below 5 but once I read the synopsis I was hooked. It sounded like the kind of movies I typically enjoy and I was not disappointed. It's listed as a thriller but I definitely found some dark comedy in it especially once some of the other characters entered the movie. Lindsay Rose Binder, the lead, has only done one other film but I liked her and thought she did a great job portraying the single woman so desperate to find love she goes to extreme measures once she finds a potential catch. Nothing justified her crazy action but I have to say that even though she was insane I didn't completely hate her because the guy was definitely a jerk. I had to wonder at the end if she would ever find someone to fit into her insane idea of the perfect relationship.
View MoreNorman is a busy, successful real estate agent who is deeply interested in making money, no matter how much time it takes. He likes his girl friends, but tends to cycle them, a new one every so many weeks. Dori, however, gets him to go on a long weekend early enough in the relationship that he decides to go.Dori has surprises from the beginning. She goes through the 'I love you' dance a bit early. The next morning, Dori introduces Albert and Dolly, her son and daughter. Then she introduces her grandfather and grandmother as well. Norman is by no means ready or willing for this to happen.Norman attempts to leave, but Dori has sawed off the steering wheel on his Porsche. This is where he needed to do anything he could to leave. He comes close to it, but his cell phone reception is poor. Dori slams him over the head with an iron, then ties him down to a bed. The kids are on with it, as are grandpa and grandma.The festive tortures that the kidnappers put Norman through are both ordinary and disgusting. They celebrate all sorts of holidays during the long weekend: Valentine's Day, Easter, Father's Day. They tie him up with duct tape, chain his legs together, then make fun of him when he cannot hold his bladder after a long time.Norman does his best to leave, but the ball and chains make it difficult. They talk, and talk, and talk.Norman does get free, locks Dori away, then starts to run away. Dori suckers him in by yelling that Dolly had trouble breathing. This was an horrid moment, when Norman's small piece of compassion is leveraged by this family of psychos. They re-capture him, then subject him to Christmas carols while dressed for Halloween.Norman knows he's in trouble when the New Year's celebration involves voting, rather like the voting in an elimination derby, such as Survivor. Is there any way out for Norman?------Scores--------Cinematography: 8/10 Well done.Sound: 10/10 No problems.Acting: 8/10 I liked the performances of the veteran actors. The child actors did well in their roles.Screenplay: 7/10 Story makes sense in a sick sort of way.-----Conclusions-------A bit too much of the PC bovine scatology. Dori sounds oh, so calm and clear and philosophical as she drags Norman's body into the shed. This is one of the harshest crushings of the human spirit I have seen in quite a while. This is horror at its purest, not a thriller, as billed. 'I still believe in love,' says the kidnapping multiple murderess at the end. A much better ending would be that Norman escapes when he had the chance, comes back with police, and the four kidnappers are killed in a hail of bullets. That would have been a thriller, as opposed to this embrace of murderous madness.
View MoreThis movie meets Misery with a twist of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, great movie, well written, Katia Winter is perfect as Kathy Bates. This movie would make a great boyfriend girlfriend movie to watch together. Love sick love would make a great husband wife movie to watch together. The movie uses great props, great usage of automobiles, great usage of homes. The grandparents home reminds you of the great movie Psycho. Love sick love passes as a realistic movie, something that could very easily happen to you or I. Love sick love is a must see for any serious movie watcher or movie critic. The movie was released in 2013 and should win many awards for great acting, great writing, great camera work, this movie should leave you with a sense to look closely at your very own relationships, rent or buy this movie is worth the green money. Enjoy the movie.
View MoreI'm single and living in Vegas. There's nothing more terrifying to me then bedding one of the millions of scumdolls who descend on the Strip. So yeah this movie is more like a warning label the government should put on dating sites and bar counters. The problem is that women go into relationship with too high an expectation. Relax. You're on a date. It it doesn't work out, obviously, you were attractive enough to get a date in the first place. And the other thing leave your kids out of it. Seriously. It's mental to drag family and kids into your dating life. Mental. This film is NOT a horror by the way, Thank God. I can't stomach guts and gore. It's just one of my really really bad nightmares played out on screen. I am passing this to all my bros. Heads up.
