Choke

This is a poor attempt at an art house movie gone terribly wrong. The story is all over the place and doesn't make sense or add up to anything satisfying at all. The acting is hit or miss, but the acting by leading man Shane Ryan is just abysmal and drags this movie down lower than it maybe should have been otherwise. Performance-wise, the movie is redeemed a little bit by Sarah Brine, who is so fun and interesting to watch that she almost makes up for everything else about this sad effort. The music is decent and it isn't completely awful to look at, so there's that.

Ok, this one has a lot of very few things going on for it: all the montages you could squeeze in a movie of 93 minute, so many monologues and a bunch of random scenes that I think were supposed to have a meaning, but it flew right over my head sadly.

It is hard to recommend it, because what is it exactly? Horror..not quite, thriller..perhaps, drama, psychological..just tiny bits. It is a movie that I'm glad it was made because experimental cinema manages to bring new stuff to the surface, but this one I feel will pass without making waves, because it has no target audience, well, perhaps those into choking and that alone.

You can clearly notice that the people who made this, did try their best and the quality is overall acceptable for such an indie production, yet even tho it started nicely and did grow, it became boring and rather confusing. Sadly, not a fan.

Cheers!

This movie is nothing but 70 mins of what the heck is going on .. 15 mins into the movie I lost my interest to watch it further but I sat through waiting for a moment where everything will make sense .

This movie is downright boring ... there is literally nothing in this movie to spend your 70 mins for ... I only blame myself for choosing this movie on a Friday night .

It's indescribable that how poor this film is made. Craziness of the male actor for 2 mins what for? Low budget can be good but not this one.

So it appears that people in the movie has discovered choking one self to be a form of therapy reverted to whenever life pins you down. This is one of those films that you don't really understand the purpose of, but still leaves you confused. Reminded me of Under the skin. Same vibes
