Deadly Passion

I decided to give this film a chance because I wanted something sexy, intimate, with good acting -- which are the ingredients that are absolutely necessary for this type of film. Unfortunately, this was unwatchable. Visually the film is a snooze fest and the poor sound is very distracting. I don't know what else to say. The best thing about the movie is probably the poster. It got me. Other than that unfortunately it doesn't work. I like indie films and I take a chance when I feel they'll bring something new to the table but this didn't bring anything at all. I'm going to go rewatch The Handmaiden.

I watch a lot of movies. Some great, some some just OK, and some are just bad. Among the bad ones there are different levels of bad. Plain bad, really bad, and horribly bad. If it is possible to be even worse than even that, this movies is it. The budget of $7,500 for the whole shebang tells it all. It seems like the camera operator was never quite sure where to point the camera. Worse yet was boom/sound-man was seemingly someone they dragged in off the street and who had never done this kind of work before. Two people sitting at the same table. One you can hear loud and clear, the other sounds like he was in the next room. If you are a glutton for punishment this is for you. It inflicts more pain on the viewer than on any of the characters.
