Love Hurts

I LOVE a horror movie with a twisted ending and this did not disappoint. I don't understand all the bad reviews. I will be watching this again. It was so good!!!!!!! It is definitely worth the watch. The acting on some of the people was sub par but I was intrigued from the very moment the movie started. I was glued to the television. I was very shocked by the ending. I never expected it. Do yourself a favor and at least give this movie a chance. Yes, it is low budget but some of the best horror movies in my opinion have been low budget. The gore isn't extreme but. I love movies like this and I'm very disappointed in its ratings. Maybe I'm in the minority here but I really liked it.

This is a very curious movie. It's meant to be a sinister horror/thriller, with an eccentric who invites a group of random persons for a dinner party in his mansion, under the pretense that they will be paid 10.000 dollar if they will experience an "emotional breakthrough". Then, in the course of the evening, he starts provoking them, playing with their minds and revealing some of their hidden personal secrets. This causes some of them to snap and totally lose control; as a result eventually blood flows, and worse.

This may sound interesting, and is does have potential, but the execution is really bad. The pace is way too slow, the photography is lackluster, and especially the acting is below every par. Only the host (Sean Sprawling) and his butler (Simon Phillips) do a good job, but the actors playing the guests are all terrible. The script is very talkative, and the whole movie is very low on action.

Biggest let-down is the lack of any comprehensible or relatable motive for the host (or for his commissioner, as a twist at the end of the movie reveals) for their actions. The interrogation by the two police-detectives doesn't really help in getting answers, they are so awkward and amateurish that the result is hardly surprising.

In fact, my only positive feeling concerns Sean Sprawling: as the gender-fluid androgynous host his (their) attitude, gestures and dialogues are almost theatrically choreographed, and lend him (them) a definite, larger than life charisma. But that alone wasn't enough to save this disappointing project.

This movie is on Prime as Most Horrible Things. It was strange. Not what I expected from the description. Not even 100% sure how I feel about it. If you're looking for a time killer or something you can watch with one eye while doing something else this is your movie.

The acting is meh and I still don't understand one scene but I don't care enough to watch it again. Instead of twists and turns it has curves. Couple of good scenes and what would be a good twist ending if they didn't telegraph it about 5 minutes before.

I hate how long they make you make your review. Said all I have to say and still need more cha.

This sums it up for me: A girl says "how did you know I was in the room? I didn't scream." Jump back to the scene of her in the room, she does, in fact, scream.

Acting was bad, characters were bad, story was non-existent.... There was too much talking in the begining and awkward conversation. It took way to long to get to any action. But even with all the conversation, the characters weren't developed well enough for you to care if any of them died.

Also, if I were being interrogated by police and the detective had a low cut shirt on with his chest hair hanging out, I would feel very uncomfortable. What is this? Miami Vice?

It wasn't UNBEARABLY bad... But I am glad I didn't pay to watch this. I didn't turn it off so I guess that's a positive, hence the 3 stars.

Had hopes...those were so dashed. Typical dinner party/get money plot with 6 people and a very werid host. They kept showing a girl in a bathroom on the floor covered and tied up....we never find out who this person is or why. Little story line with no sense. Love the butler, but who is he really. The guy that is the host...sorry, but if ugly had a stick it would beat itself silly. The back and forth with the dinner party and police scenes were just terrible. I did like the twist, but the rest of the story is bland at best. I did get if 5 stars since I didn't fall asleep during this one. Love the house. If you are bored please watch it, otherwise do your nails.
