Ten

Ten is my favorite sort of movie. It's difficult to explain completely without spoiling elements of it, but I'll give it a try.

First, I think it's a movie that is not at all to be taken literally. The story and the characters and the acting aren't meant to be like they are in a standard movie. It's not a movie about figuring out a plot twist. It's also not really a satire movie, though I think a lot of people might interpret some of it that way.

Ten is a sort of allegory about how we go out into the world and put on masks to be whoever we need to be at that moment. It is about how we all have a whole bunch of different faces and identities and how we can shift between them rapidly.

The movie is an experimental one in many ways. A lot of people who watch it might say it's not a scary horror movie, or it's not a good mystery, or the twist was too strange, but they are all really missing the point.

I think if you are an intellectual viewer who also likes classic horror, Hitchcock, noir, and mystery films, you should give the movie a chance because you might get it. And if you get it, it's a really good and unique one. If you don't, well, you should probably go back to watching run of the mill horror or something. This isn't the movie for you. I suspect you'll see a lot of split reviews between people who are watching this to see a "normal" horror movie and people who are looking for something more.
