Behemoth

I have watched 38 min and the only reason is because I spent $5 for the rental. I keep hoping it will get better. The acting is bad, the story is bad. I just don't get it. If I could leave 0 stars, I would have.

At times, this movie looks and feels like the slickest horror film you've seen all year. Amazing VFX, awesome sound design, and a cool score. But then some bad acting or crappy dialogue breaks the spell. For a no-budget horror, it mostly works, so I'd say it's worth a watch.

Saw the trailer somewhere on a horror review site and thought, yep, I give it a try.

To be honest,the trailer was better then the movie. Not that much happens and if you want the best you have to wait until the last 20 minutes.

What i did like even as it had a lot of CGI was the effects used. Clearly that a lot of money went to that department. But still, if your flick is all about blah blah quit a lot then the effects doesn't save the movie.

So overall I guess it will have a lot of lovers and haters. Just to inform y'all, it wasn't my thing.

Gore 1,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5.

...but could have been much, much worse, considering the supposed budget of $65,000 for a movie like this.

The story manages to be captivating enough even if it isn't completely original. The mystery element is compelling enough even if it seems simple by the end. The effects they managed to pull off on this kind of budget are beyond impressive.

The movie has its faults but the only thing that really seems to drag it downward is the acting. Our leading man is by far the worst but there isn't much acting here that I would call adequate. With some better actors this could have been a 6, maybe even a 7, but the amateur hour was nonsense. I understand that it is difficult to find the best actors on such a low budget but surely there was SOMEBODY better out there.

Anyway, this director shows promise and I look forward to seeing where he goes from here.

For a low budget film the cast and crew have made an entertaining and ambitious movie with some good VFX and with an emotional journey at the centre of it.

Congrats, I look forward to your next piece.
