Just perfect...
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
View MoreThe Scribbler only gets three stars from me for the way of filming. That wasn't bad, with some nice shots. The overall makeup and costumes was also not bad so credits for those who did that job. But for the rest there isn't much good to say about The Scribbler. It all begins promising and intriguing but the further you get into the story the more you realize it's not going to be great at all. The end part is definitely the worst part. It's like they ran out of inspiration and just made up a quick ending. The cast is about okay but nothing great either. I was glad when this movie ended. The end couldn't come fast enough for me. I read somewhere on here that this could become a cult movie. I guess that reviewer would fit in this movie full of lunatics because one thing is sure and that is that The Scribbler will never become a cult movie.
View MoreThis is one of these movies who never reached cinemas or even local TV channels.I'll be honest, I initially got the movie because of Sasha Grey and watched it 2017. Movie is from 2014 for reference. Sasha stared for 2 minutes total. I know there is a bigger and deeper story behind this movie but I just don't like it. It's a story for a girl with serious mental disorder who goes into the tower with the highest suicidal rate to live with other people with mental disorders. Random stuff happens all the time and no one remembers nothing. There are talking dogs, elevators and other talking objects. Total no sense.*random people getting electrocuted all the time*The movie is dark, not like a dark "dark", just the picture is dark. Directors love to make dark movies in order to use less visuals.But there is plenty of visuals at later point. The effects remind me of the movies from late 90's. So at the end some of the patients of the tower become superheroes lead by their disorders and there is a fight. I didn't paid much attention here since I was totally bored to death from the first 1 hour movie.If you have epilepsy don't watch this movie.If you have some weird fetishes (or want to have some weird fetishes) you have to watch THIS right now!
View MoreI'm at a loss for words for how bad this is. A terrible injustice to anyone with a mental illness as the writer had absolutely no understanding of mental illness, psychology, psychiatric institutions, mental health therapy or medicine. This film is idiotic and the silly romanticizing and misunderstanding of Disassociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder) just makes it all the more painful to watch. The sexualizing of its mentally ill protagonist shows that this is some lurid attempt at cashing in on teen angst and rebellion while the teen film resurgence, brought on by Twilight and its distasteful ilk, is still viably profitable. This is a base, sickening teen- exploitation film. I think there may be a new exploitation category now with films like this, Maze Runner and Battle Royale - teen- exploitation.
View MoreSeriously, or not: A young man lives alone with a bunch of slightly deranged beautiful babes, whom he bangs at their leisure. We're definitely in a fantasy world. Give some leeway to the believability of the setting - an empty, derelict, unsupervised tower housing the people I described - and what you'll really get is a very atmospheric tale.I find The Scribbler very Korean in its visuals and coolness, very Dickian in its portrayal of the confused heroine. The young main actress, K. Cassidy, is perfect and carries most of the film on her little shoulders, nicely supported by G. Dillahunt and G. Gershon. The rest of the cast is uneven, but acceptable.At some point, the film turns into a more casual, action-oriented romp, losing some of its appeal along with some of its technical qualities. Still, it was cool enough and short enough to keep me watching, if less enthusiastically.Watch The Scribbler if you like your paranoia sexy.
