The Man in the Silo

The only explanation of the high rate is that very few has rate this boring movie, and the ones that rate it as excellent were the movie makers, other than that, I dont understand how this boring, repetitive and confusing movie has a 7 when it clearly deserves a 2 max. Stay away, far away.

While an entirely compelling performance by Mr Hudson as a man dealing with regret and grief - the movie literally goes no where. Part of the failure was on me actually expecting there to be a man in the silo perhaps killed by the Hudson character (I typically watch horror). Instead it was a repetition of his guilt and circumstances and by the short ending I was like 'oh'

Clearly the forces behind this richly layered dream-like vision have a deep sense of story evolution and film history. It is not for everyone, but if you come to it with a willingness to participate, you will be rewarded with a film that leaves you with the feeling of having experienced something very, very special in a world otherwise dominated by superheros and amplitude. Fans of Bernard Herrmann scores, Darren Aronovsky, Lynch, and Adrian Lyne films will find themselves at home in this film, not to forget the intensely compelling performance of Ernie Hudson.

I have never seen Ernie Hudson star in such a challenging and intense role, and I now have a new respect for him. His portrayal of a middle-aged black man struggling to cling to his identity after suffering unthinkable loss cuts to the heart of what it is to be human. This beautifully shot film allows Hudson to really stretch his creative wings, and he does not disappoint. Independent films such as this reassure me that true art is still being produced. If you appreciate cinema, this is one not to miss. I found this film's uniqueness to be a breath of fresh air.

This is a beautiful film full of great cinematic storytelling plus a classic re-hash of the Bernard Herman's Vertigo Score. Being a Hitchcock fan, I can honestly say that this is a true HITCHCOCKIAN film - which we hear a lot but hardly ever see. You can tell the film was made with so much attention to detail and passion by the great cinematography, transitions, acting, pace, acting and editing - and everything works together to achieve a great visual art piece. But don't get me wrong, it is also super exciting and entertaining as the film keeps you guessing from beginning to end. It is full of intrigue and suspense - and it is haunting. I highly recommend THE MAN IN THE SILO and I can almost guarantee you haven't seen anything like it!
