Aged

I just watched Aged and I really enjoyed this movie. I'm not a horror movie kind of person but this was done right. The actors really threw themselves into their roles although I was a little skeptical in the beginning (too many signs for the main character to not be in that place) but as the movie progressed i was pulled into it. I did not know where it was going and i must say that was a good thing because many times you can predict the ending of a movie midway through but not AGED. This movie had me and I must say I did not expect the ending....totally had me shocked. I would watch this movie again. Great movie.

The thing these days seems to be slow-burning, character-driven plot lines. Certainly have that here as the two main actresses engage throughout. Nice photography, hits all the marks of horror. Predictable in parts but when you're going with a classic structure, that's just going to happen. Those moments came with a nice pay-off. Reality v. Nightmare situations keep you guessing.

This is a psychological thriller with strong female leads. Using a low budget and limited locations, the filmmakers made the most of it all with the photography. The film has a palpable feel that its creators love and respect the genre and the cast was having a great time.

Holy Smokes , where do I begin on the stupidity of this movie ? First of all Miss gray has to be the stupidest woman I've ever met in my life she has so many chances leave but she just keeps on staying. The whole movie just makes no sense at all the acting is horrendous the old lady you just hate her so bad you just want this movie to end but it keeps going on and on and Miss gray keeps staying there talk about a horrible job this should never been made and what's with the pancake makeup all over that old lady just a horrendous movie avoid at all costs and you will thank me later wow talk about horrible.

Warning, do not fast forward any part of this, you might miss something that explains what is going on and you will be forced to rewind it and watch it again.

Veronica Grey (Morgan Boss-Maltais) did play this part well, however, with the pace of the movie a little slow and the runtime too long for this story, I lost interest in the plot and the story itself became a "what" "huh" moment, more than once.

Mrs Bloom (Carla Kidd) play off against Miss Grey well, sometimes and other times her presence was like the "what" "huh" moments I mentioned above.

Joe (Adonis Ringo) brought nothing but "huh" moments to the story, he did this rather well. Perhaps he was only included because his name was Adonis.

I realised that while writing this, I dropped the rating down to 3 "what" says something about the movie. I'm hoping that Morgan Boss-Maltais gets some better roles. Would I recommend this? Nope.

I was pleasantly surprised with what I got out of this film. Given the budget I never stopped being impressed by how well this movie was done. Any low budget film requires good casting and talented crew members and this one clearly has those elements. This is not a jump scare horror film, if you are looking for that you won't get it. This is a slow burn that the soundtrack does a great job of establishing the mood for throughout. The film is not without flaws but I sincerely believe this it could stand up to 90% of the big budget horror films currently coming out of Hollywood. Any true fan of horror films should thoroughly enjoy this one.
