When I stumbled upon this 2022 movie titled "Subject 101", I happened to be drawn in by the movie's cover. I had never actually heard about the movie, but seeing that it was a horror/thriller movie, of course I opted to sit down and spend 86 minutes on watching it.
Sure, I didn't know what I was in for here, as I had never heard about the movie. So in a sense, I suppose that writer and director Tom Bewilogua had every opportunity readily available to impress and entertain me with this 2022 movie. I have to admit that I sat down to watch the movie with zero expectations.
Right, well this was definitely not a horror movie, so that was rather disappointing to find out. What was it then? A strange mixture of mystery and thriller. But it most certainly wasn't a horror movie.
The storyline in "Subject 101" failed to entertain me, and I was good and ready to turn off the dumpster fire that is "Subject 101" about halfway through. It was quite a struggle to sit through, because there was nothing interesting about the storyline, and it just made very little sense. So writer Tom Bewilogua failed to entertain and impress me with this movie.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that is actually something that I do enjoy whenever I sit down to watch a movie. I genuinely enjoy watching new talents and faces on the screen, as there are no associations to previously portrayed characters in other movies or TV series. The acting performances in "Subject 101" were actually good, despite the fact that the script was rubbish.
Visually then I found the movie to be a bit strange. It wasn't a movie that made use of an abundance of special effects. But the way that the movie was filmed and many of the shots were just odd and avantgarde. And that actually worked well in favor of the movie, giving it a strange and unique look.
"Subject 101" was a movie that failed to entertain me, and it definitely isn't a movie that I will ever watch again. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend you to waste your time, money or effort on.
My rating of "Subject 101" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
