Wired Shut

I will say I didn't enjoy the daughter much, she came off as a bit of a brat. That being said this movie was fully set on the shoulders of three actors. I think they picked a great villain and he was very interesting. I kept hoping I would not have to see the father open his mouth, it was just gross to see. But all in all this was not an awful movie, more of an acquired taste. If you have nothing better to watch this can seem a bit drawn out but it entertains and that was the point.

A rich author with broken jaw that's wired shut gets a visit from his estranged daughter who harbours a grudge about past fatherly failings.

Dad can't speak because of his jaw so there's not much conversation going on making the first half of the film rather tedious.

Add a psycho boyfriend to the second half and things pick up - they don't pick up enough to make this a good film but enough to save it from being a poor film.

Again another snails pace film made in lockdown which only has a small handful of actors in and expects them to carry the interest without anything happening for most of the film. The daughter is annoying, the fathers part is an easy acting roll, nothing to remember. Just another dull lockdown film, tired of watching them now, they should have stayed at home.

This was a better thriller than I thought it would be. Assuming from the description I thought it would just be another man alone in the house gets robbed movie, but no it was more whilst also being a bit of that. The fact of there only being three cast members helped me see each performance and learn who those characters were easier. Getting near the end of the film it almost turned into an expressive art piece of sorts with emmys boyfriend going into what seemed like madness. Altogether a pretty good thriller.

I'm giving this a 6 only because of the acting of the cast, especially the crazy boyfriend he was so awesome in this. It was also shot reasonably well for a low budget.

Otherwise, a big old stinker of a film that isn't even a horror...
