Serial Beauty

What a nice surprise. This is a fun thriller/dry comedy with some nice performances. Serial Beauty is about two cops trying to track down a killer who's turning his victims into mannequins and works of art. Yes, you have to overlook a few things, and the cinematography at times is a little inconsistent, but I really enjoyed this film, mostly because of the dry humor.

Serial Beauty also succeeds because the acting is really good; the cast all seem to be on the same page. I thought the character Vadim the mortician, played by Tihomir Dukic, did a really good job. He's a little over the top, but I like that he made that choice. He's super creepy and fixated on the beauty of these dead women, which is unnerving and plays into the world writer and director Sigal Erez created. I don't think this film is for everyone, and again, that's why I like it even more. I don't mind the rough edges. I can see what Sigal is doing, and I enjoyed it. It is also unpredictable and has a few twists, which was nice to watch.

Serial Beauty's description/plot intrigued me initially, so I went ahead and added it to my watchlist.

I was finally able to check it out this past weekend, and I couldn't have been more let down by a film.

The story is so fascinating, but the production value is "student film" quality at best, and the acting is sub-par, with mediocre visual effects.

I'm not sure if it was budgetary restrictions that affected this film, or it was issues with the script, however, something happened and caused this film to fall flat and become unwatchable.

In summary, it is a great idea, but the final product leaves the viewer not only wanting more but completely let down.

I was looking for something to watch this past weekend when I came across Sigal Erez's 2024 film Serial Beauty and decided to give it a shot.

Upon tuning in, I almost instantly regretted my purchase, as the film's production quality took away from all chances of enjoying this film.

Believe me, I tried, and I did make it through the entire film, however, the quality of this film has to be forewarned, as it is a major distraction, and takes away from the performances, and perhaps even the plot.

I occasionally wonder how certain films get made based on the acting and the plot, but with this film, I wonder how it got made with the cinematography.

I normally don't write reviews with my star ratings, but this film deserves to be ridiculed.

The poster essentially sums up what kind of movie you're getting.

The cinematography appears as if it was shot in the early 2000s, and the direction/writing just seems off from a lot of different standpoints.

I think the worst thing about Serial Beauty is that the cast itself is a solid cast, however, with a bad script, and bad directing, they don't have much to work with.

Unfortunately, this is another one of those low budget films that uses bots, family, and friends to leave good reviews to make the film seem as if it's actually good.

Serial Beauty, a mystery/thriller film co-written and directed by Sigal Erez, has such a fascinating concept at the core of its plot. I enjoyed the characters and the mystery that drove the story forward. I also love the title

• it's clever and perfect for the movie! Really fitting. The acting is solid as well. I enjoyed the suspense and felt that the story contained a lot of twists and turns which kept it moving and kept me invested, wanting to know what would happen next. It also has solid production value for an indie movie. Overall, this is a really solid independent film that's worth watching!
