Living Space

I found this title interesting even if others are giving it a bad rap. Overall the film is decent, nealy good. I have to say though the practical effects were really good and the score was great as well. Its worth a watch if you are bored but do not go in with high expectations.

Can't believe how awful this movie was. Just downright terrible movie! Don't waste your time watching this garbage.

The entire production process is a hoax. Steven Spiel? Really? Bio smells fake. From Australia? German sited film made "entirely in Australia." Argh. Do any research beyond "gore", Steven? Exec/ Producer credits are laughable. Idea is terrible and cliche'd beyond words. The nazis, or that they are nazis, has nothing to do with the story. Could be Repubs in Alabama or Dems in Southern Cal. The writing is derivative of every zombie movie ever made. Georgia Chara tries to do something with this tripe, but sows ears can't be made into even plastic coin purse. Can't bring a dead script to life, Gabrielle. Sorry. (Careful of slack jaw acting.) It's awful. Don't waste the breath, energy, or time.

I'm sorry... but the visible fishing line to close the doors really took away any chance of horror or scare from this movie. It was more like Nazi Poltergeist than anything. Also, the consistency of body placement was off throughout. The plot has tons of holes, and they broke their own rules. I can't waste anymore time on this.

And of course the main one is that this is a truly hideous production.

For a start it is terribly lit. Potential viewers (and I hope there are not too many of you) be prepared for a lot of squinting into many a blackish/near dark scene.

Our two protagonists, Brad and Ash (Why couldn't she have been called the more appropriate, Janet?) are completely unsympathetic from the outset. They speak in solitary sentences with bizarrely long pregnant pauses in between, as if one another keep forgetting their lines and are waiting for the other character to prompt them. And again, how many times do we hear the defiantly non - heroic Ash whine annoyingly, "What are we going to do Brad?" I honestly answered not too long into this train wreck, " I don't really care Ash.

The narrative just doesn't flow at all, even allowing for the fact that (hardly a spoiler) there are time loops involved. There are no smooth transitions between scenes. And the little dialogue there is, as inferred previously, is just of a risible quality.

Let me just be brief and summarise: This is a ghost movie without the slightest degree of suspense or dread and at the same time a wannabe torture porn film without shocks.

As for the third act "twist" (LOL!), well let's just say Blind Freddie would have seen it on the horizon from miles away.

Finally, the director ... Steven Spiel ??? Is he really serious, or just trying for some sort of in joke/homage to the great Steven Spielberg? If there is any doubt on the part of any one about this, his ahem ... debut feature. No, Living Space unfortunately, doesn't reach anywhere near the quality of Duel's (Spielberg's debut) out takes.
