Val

A fugitive from helicopters and cop-cars invades a dominatrix's home just as she is expecting a client to call. She is a little too strong for the man on the run...and she won't SHUT UP. I love that she disregard's his demands, but, alas, it's because she CAN. She isn't the devil she appears to be and it does get interesting.

This horror comedy thriller is rather difficult to watch as a comedic movie for most of its duration and yet if one has the fortitude to watch it through to the end, it seems to redeem itself some. The primary problem for the audience is the rather off-putting behavior of Finn scripted by Aaron Fradkin, also director, and Vitoria Fratz who plays Jenny, a close friend of Finn. The story outline is solid, but the presentation is somewhat awkward in places as the humor mostly offered up by the luscious and mysterious Val, the woman whose home Finn breaks into and played by Misha Reeves with great affect cannot quite make up for the rather initial overly dramatic, brusque and rough performance by Finn that is actually out of character. In summary, this movie does touch on the notion of good and evil quite well and the last third of the movie almost makes up for the unintentional repelling nature of Finn along with the rather innovative quality performance of Val.

The film is a gem. Misha Reeves, as Val, grabbed my attention and kept it. The actors have good chemistry and the story was edgy and dark. Zachary Mooren (Fin) played a good counter to the manipulative Val.

The acting was a bit over the top and the plot clearly signalled where it was going. Not scary or to be taken seriously. No where as good as the other reviews so far suggest.

Underrated. Much better than the current IMDB rating (5/10) suggests.

I hesitate to characterize this as a horror comedy. Its horror that doesn't take itself too serious. It was a fun ride. Poster and promotional phrase of the movie are dumb though, because they reveal this movie's twist. What was the reason for this?

In any case, i enjoyed this. A dialogue-driven offbeat comedy-horror movie? Whatever this was, it was entertaining. Kinda strange acting, but i liked it. Well structured characters, interesting enough to keep my attention. There was a second twist here that i didn't see it coming. Not mindblowing/original but good.

This was not scary neither hilarious or brilliant but i had fun watching this. Lower your expectations and if you like this genre, you will enjoy it too.
