Glorious

As an avid Lovecraft fan, I kinda knew what I was in for and that it would have some good twists and cosmic lore. I was pleasantly surprised by the layers, actors and the very dark final twist, that gave it a delicious aftertaste. The movie wasn't perfect, but for a low budget cosmic horror movie, it was pretty great. I would have liked the main character to be written a little more cerebral and cool headed, but that's just me.

I think the part that made me cringe the most was all the touching of the toilet in the restroom. It set a pretty disgusting atmosphere, which turns out to be quite appropriate in the end.

Overall, very unique and entertaining.

A horror movie centered around a public restroom GLORYHOLE seemed absurd but this movie is surprisingly good! The back and forth dialogue between Ryan Kwanten and the Lovecraftian creature in the bathroom stall is really interesting, creepy and even at times quite funny (dark humor)! There's some blood & gore (not too much) and the creature FX are excellent!

As usual Kwanten's acting is fantastic and having J. K. Simmons as the voice of the creature was pure genius!

For a movie that basically takes place in 1 main setting i wasn't bored for even a second! VERY good movie!

This was quite an interesting, quirky and original little film. Great concept with decent special effects, cgi and acting.

The main character, while you can tell he is a good actor, at times felt a little bit... too over the top. This could have been the directing or lack there of, who knows. It also got a bit repetitive in the middle which slowed it down a bit. I found the twist interesting and unexpected and it drew very interesting parallels within the concept that I appreciated.

Regardless, it was entertaining and a breath of fresh air as far as the originality of the concept goes. Would recommend.

If you don't like weird movies don't watch Glorious because weird is an understatement. I was actually entertained by it and so was my wife. The whole movie is filmed at one location, in one room and that with basically only one actor. Well there are a couple more actors but their part is short. Sounds like ingredients for a disaster but it wasn't. Ryan Kwanten that I only know from the good show True Blood where he played Jason Stackhouse gave a convincing performance playing his character. J. K. Simmons is never visible, he plays the narrative voice, a voice that is very easily recognizable. The story is mysterious and that's what keeps you interested. As for the horror parts it's bloody and gross but it's well done considering the low budget it has. In short I've seen way worse horror movies than Glorious, a movie that is worth a one-time watch.

This movie is the proof that you don't need to make your movie long and time consuming to make it enjoyable and intriguing. This is super gross and disgusting masterpiece. Why gross and disgusting? You'll understand once you've watched it. The movie is very simple, it only involved a few actors and actresses. The locations weren't much either. Just the road and a rest stop. But the plot is intriguing, a concoction of mystery, horror, comedy, drama and fantasy. Ryan Kwanten is really good at acting, no doubt about that. He's good at comedy, drama and horror. And the plot twist at the end really hits the spot as well. At least for me. That's why I had to rate this movie higher than 5. I wanted to give it a 7, but the grossness of it made me lower it to 6. I gotta warn you, if you're going to watch this, make sure you're not eating. Trust me. I'm doing you a HUGE favor here.
