Ultrasound

I thought the premise was interesting and so I gambled and spent the $6 to watch it. I'm glad I did as this movie is much better than it's current rating. The acting is excellent the story is original and it moves along farely quickly. This is that movie you hope to happen upon whenever you choose something you are unfamiliar with.

It's one of those films that hold your attention, expecting something great to ultimately happen, only to be let down with a cluttered, convoluted, incoherent and incohesive story. There was just no reward, and it looked like a bunch of screenplays were thrown in the shredder then randomly taped together. It tried too hard to be smart, and lost focus on any character development to align with the story. Then add the terrible pacing to the convoluted plot's 103 min runtime, and you'll be begging for something thrilling to happen quick so the film can end. Why would the producers hire an amature writer in his first screenplay, and not at least have a seasoned writer look it over? Schroeder's directing was adequate, but what stood out was the cinematography and score. The only convincing performances were Kartheiser, Lopez and Qualley. Everyone else, especially Wool, were stale and seemed amateurish. Maybe part blame goes to Schroeder's failure to direct his cast properly. It's too bad, this film had tons of potential. It's a 6/10 from me.

Ultrasound is a trippy sci Fi flick, but it doesn't use expensive CGI or action set pieces to blow your mind. Instead Ultrasound uses interesting writing and ideas and good character work, to mystify and intrigue. If your a fan of low budget films, than check out Ultrasound.

This movie simply had too many plots with poor delivery of the story that leaves you confused in the end. The story is simple enough to understand after you pay attention but the story telling is not smooth and there seems to be multiple plots thrown in the mix that would have been better to cut out. The movie overall to me was a mess to watch. An interesting mess but a mess none the less.

The director and writers should have stuck to one plot and cut off the fat. In a movie with twist and turns that would have been a better approach instead of throwing in subplots that added little to nothing but confusions to the story that in the end go unexplained or even forgotten.

Next time just stick to the main plot.

Nice premise, great acting, interesting dialogue, and overall a solid twist on an old concept. The film never felt over-stylized or artsy, no pseudophilosophy, just human emotions. Loved spotting some of the details as well.

This has the potential to become a good series for streaming, I hope this idea can be elaborated on, mainly due to the fact of how open-ended it felt.

Overall, while the ending still left me somewhat confused (in terms of the chain of events and how these were connected), I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Definitely could recommend this to low-budget sci-fi/thriller fans.
