This is How Movies Should Be Made

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film opens up with a real old song I'm In The Mood For Food playing, while some masked dude is carving away on a chained up girl. You think this film might be good but then nope. All the energy was put into the beginning and then they burnt out.It turns into a found footage where some friends investigate a cyberbully disappearance. They end up in the lair of the killer getting lost and almost killed but luckily escape. So they decide to go back. Some people never learn.Forget about this one. All you're going to miss are shaky cameras as they are always running and constant screaming.

I really enjoyed this film and for ages after it finished, just sat open-mouthed in front of the TV with my heart banging against my rib cage.The Cutting Room only cost £12,000 to make but nothing about it feels small budget. The cinematography is really impressive and you get this constant feeling that the characters are being watched. Many of the scenes are filmed underground in the disused army barracks yet the viewers is treated to all the gruesome bits in gory, vivid detail.A lot of the film is "found footage" but the quality is so much better, in my opinion, than The Blair Witch Project. In that film, I found it pretty unwatchable but in this film it was of a quality good enough to enjoy the film while still getting the pants scared off you.I really enjoyed the plot and the characters, who seemed believable in terms of English students. I'd definitely like to keep an eye on Lucy- Jane Quinlan and Lydia Orange in the future.Definitely pay attention when watching the film and look out for the clues. If you don't, the finale is going to terrify you, as it did me. The final scenes take place over 15 terrifying minutes where the viewer is kept firmly on the edge of your seat. Watch out for the final, horrifying reveal in the last 15 seconds of the film.

Low budget is one thing, but The Cutting Room has little to nothing to offer. Take the 3 minute opening credit's sequence - Kubrick started it, Tarantino copied it, as does this film, with it's opening scene that depicts a female on her back tied up, we only see her upper half, in the background a jolly song plays.To cover for poor camera work, the film makers have gone with the 'we are students learning how to make a movie' concept, rather than the found footage route. Much of the film is as dull as shoot. The remaining 2% isn't much better either and is somewhat Blair Witch inspired, with it's dark building lite by torch. As for the abductor, he look's like a reject from the music group Slipknot. This isn't a spoiler, as he is shown at the start.

Film students choose the case of a missing girl for their project, and find they've bitten off more than they can chew.Brit horror. Sigh. Overloaded with soap opera dialogue, where nobody opens their mouth except to deliver an insult or utter the f-word. The characters are deeply irritating from the start and the plotting is just juvenile. Only 73 mins, but it feels like hours.This does have an interesting opening sequence, but instantly heads into botched student banality. After lots of shaky cam and badly lit scenes we end up in a dark labyrinth, hoping that someone will smother it in concrete and seal these idiots inside forever.I've watched some crap horror out of Britain, and this isn't even the worst. But you know what? They get external reviewers to pass it off as quality. If it's not heritage ghostery, the Brits really don't know how to do horror, and even the ghostery is boring. And of course they're so small minded they can't even address sex. Thatcherite pillocks.American indie horrors are like Oscar nominees compared to this.
