Threshold

I watched Threshold twice. The director, crew and cast seem to have an intelligent vision and story in mind with this movie. That became apparent to me in my second viewing. I let go of my judgements arising from the challenges of the budget and decided to value what was accomplished within those limitations. By the end of the film, I wondered what the director's next project might be. I've seen many first feature films by writer directors where by film's end I believed that the artist will be quite successful in the future. Watch and see what you think.

Threshold steps out of the typical psycho/horror genre with a psychological and in some ways spiritual thriller that makes you doubt and question reality. Lots of thrilling twists and turns, super-fun to watch, and great performances all around. Not everyone is going to have the intelligence to understand it as it's not a "slasher" but more a mind-bender. Great popcorn movie with thought and heart.

The movie plays like the simple plot needed filler.

There was no suspense or thrill.

One element seemed unnecessarily supernatural when the reality of The Woman could have been a much more horrifying story.

The acting is trash. It could have passed if the film were better told or condensed.

The good reviews I read were clearly paid / compensated.

This film is very well acted, directed and paced. Keeps you wondering wtf is going on, which is CRUCIAL in a film.

I was really surprised at how Great the acting is after reading such hater critiques.

Without being a blockbuster for sure, I've seen Many films full of grade A actors butcher a film!

There were moving parts and tense parts and creepy/scary bits.

Don't expect a HORROR film for sure. A thriller with some belief/life undertones plus mother natures hand in the mix plus crazy twists and turns...

Keep some chips and gummies close by for the run!

Perlman's film is everything a sci-fi meets domestic mystery should have. It's eerie, well sequenced, and always leaves the viewer uncertain whether what's happening is scientifically explainable or a paranormal phenomenon imposing itself on a chaotic Earth. The writer-director could've easily made it sappy, or banal, or reductionistic. Instead, he teases in just the right blend of supernatural possibility through atmospheric terror putting a tragedy-stricken couple to test, as strangers and stranger events maraud them. A very under the radar gem.
