Such a frustrating disappointment
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
View MoreThe film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Blistering performances.
The film opens with the murder of some hippie squatters. And then crime thriller writer Susan (Charisma Carpenter) moves into a manor along with her husband and American driver side BMW. She suffered an "episode" in California.She sees stuff and her husband cheats on her. Is he driving her crazy or is she seeing things? The problem is that we really don't care because the film wasn't that interesting.Part of a horror DVD 8 pack. $5.00 US Walmart.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Katrena Rochell, Ricci Harnett)
View More"Psychosis" started out well enough, but then it went downhill quite fast, crumbling into boredom and a general lack of purpose.I am not going to even bother with the storyline here, as it was a very weak and thin storyline. The events that took place seemed irrelevant and at often incoherent.The movie trots ahead at a very slow pace, and nothing overly interesting happens, and as such this movie is a test to get through. And I have to admit that I didn't make it through. I gave up and had to turn it off out of sheer boredom.Although this movie was acted out by mostly people that I hadn't seen before, there was a single familiar face; Charisma Carpenter. But not even her presence in the movie was enough to keep anything in this movie afloat. Now, it is always nice to see new and unfamiliar faces, but when they have nothing proper to work with, then they are fighting a losing uphill battle.Don't get lured in and suckered in by the DVD cover, because the movie is not even remotely anything near as interesting as the DVD cover makes it out to be. This movie was bad with a capital B. We all have different like and dislikes, and "Psychosis" surely wasn't even close to the edge of being in my liking.
View MoreWow. this movie is so bad it's almost epic. The acting is so dreadful that you spend the first 15 minutes wondering if it's deliberate. (It's not).The first slash and hack scene is not only pointless but laughable - if the hippie group had been aiming for a "dirty wooden zombie" feel, they nailed it, but I am pretty sure that it wasn't deliberate. Natch! It went down hill from wooden zombie... to wallow and sink in it's own puddle of mediocrity - but at least Charisma's hair looked fabulous through out.I kept hoping that that SOME ONE would leap out of a cupboard and slice and dice everybody involved in the making of this movie (including the script writers and special effects department) for crimes against the dramatic arts... that alone may have saved this "feature". (sigh) Do not watch this if you want horror or drama - you WILL regret the loss of the hour and a half. Once that time is gone, you can never get it back.If you MUST watch this movie, then I would recommend a two bottle wine buffer.
View MoreWhen it was available in the shops were I wander around it was immediately in sale. I should have known better. This is not good, simple as that. The main leads, Paul Sculfor and Charisma Carpenter aren't believable. Just watch at the end of the movie when something is happening to Paul, the acting given is not good. And Charisma couldn't convince me too, you see them both acting. But that's not the only problem. It's low on the red stuff so there should be some other teasers to watch but sadly it isn't. It's never frightening. just watch the first 5 minutes and the last 15 minutes, forget what lays in between. Could have been so much better...
