Glorious

Even though Glorious has a very short runtime of only 79 minutes, it feels a bit dragged out. This is the type of movie that work best as a 30 minute short film.

This movie is the proof that you don't need to make your movie long and time consuming to make it enjoyable and intriguing. This is super gross and disgusting masterpiece. Why gross and disgusting? You'll understand once you've watched it. The movie is very simple, it only involved a few actors and actresses. The locations weren't much either. Just the road and a rest stop. But the plot is intriguing, a concoction of mystery, horror, comedy, drama and fantasy. Ryan Kwanten is really good at acting, no doubt about that. He's good at comedy, drama and horror. And the plot twist at the end really hits the spot as well. At least for me. That's why I had to rate this movie higher than 5. I wanted to give it a 7, but the grossness of it made me lower it to 6. I gotta warn you, if you're going to watch this, make sure you're not eating. Trust me. I'm doing you a HUGE favor here.

A horror movie centered around a public restroom GLORYHOLE seemed absurd but this movie is surprisingly good! The back and forth dialogue between Ryan Kwanten and the Lovecraftian creature in the bathroom stall is really interesting, creepy and even at times quite funny (dark humor)! There's some blood & gore (not too much) and the creature FX are excellent!

As usual Kwanten's acting is fantastic and having J. K. Simmons as the voice of the creature was pure genius!

For a movie that basically takes place in 1 main setting i wasn't bored for even a second! VERY good movie!

Originality, good actors, out of the box.

The only thing I can say is: start watching and you won't stop.

No big company would do such a creative movie.

If you don't like weird movies don't watch Glorious because weird is an understatement. I was actually entertained by it and so was my wife. The whole movie is filmed at one location, in one room and that with basically only one actor. Well there are a couple more actors but their part is short. Sounds like ingredients for a disaster but it wasn't. Ryan Kwanten that I only know from the good show True Blood where he played Jason Stackhouse gave a convincing performance playing his character. J. K. Simmons is never visible, he plays the narrative voice, a voice that is very easily recognizable. The story is mysterious and that's what keeps you interested. As for the horror parts it's bloody and gross but it's well done considering the low budget it has. In short I've seen way worse horror movies than Glorious, a movie that is worth a one-time watch.
