Dungeon

Is this a fully formed horror movie with believable actors, effective cinematography and a plot that makes any sense whatsoever? Absolutely not!

What it is, is an am-dram horror spoof (deliberate or not) with the production values of a film like the 'The Disaster Artist'.

Entertaining enough for 65 minutes, but not remotely what the scores and the synopsis suggest you're going to get.

Be aware what to expect and you may be mildly entertained by a vaguely entertaining melange of ideas, clumsily put together and acted in (if I'm being kind) a naturalistic style. Even, if it leaves you baffled at the end.

If not, you're likely it be mightily disappointed by a film that does not meet its brief or match the scores its currently achieving...

I wasn't entirely certain about what to anticipate. This movie had remained relatively obscure in my awareness, but upon discovering its inclusion in Tubi's list of top films, my curiosity was instantly piqued, compelling me to delve into its storyline. As it turns out, this film is an engaging thriller. Crafted within the heart of Hoboken, New Jersey, it offers both the thrill of suspense and the enjoyment of an award-winning creation. The iconic cityscape of Hoboken serves as a backdrop, enhancing the viewing experience.

Commencing with a sense of lightness, the movie soon takes an unexpected twist. The narrative unravels with numerous unforeseen intricacies, which pleasantly caught me off guard. The alternating rhythm between moments of tension and moments of levity, skillfully interwoven, contributed to my overall appreciation. The consistent back-and-forth structure kept me engaged, as it presented an array of eerie sequences and lighter interludes. Throughout the film, I found myself consistently engrossed, my mind challenged to predict the unfolding events. It's a must watch from me.

Dungeon is an enthralling film that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Directed with skillful precision, the movie delivers a gripping narrative filled with twists, red herrings, and a web of intriguing characters, making it an engaging and satisfying experience for fans of the genre. In addition to its engaging mystery, the film delves into the psychology of the characters, exploring their motivations, fears, and past secrets. This character-driven approach adds depth to the story, making it more than just a conventional murder mystery. Full credit to the director who wrote, directed and acted in this.

At first, I wondered why the film was only 65 minutes, then I saw that it was an indie film, so I naturally assumed it would be just okay at best. I then started watching it and was impressed by the performances, especially by the lead, Andy Bowles, himself. While watching the movie. I looked Andy up online and saw his YouTube page. I've never heard of him before, but was impressed by all his YouTube videos and continued watching the movie. His performances while trapped in the dungeon were amazing and very realistic. I would say that all of the performances were anywhere from good to great. Maybe the only thing I didn't like was the high pitched buzzing sound at 46:28, but I understand why it was included.

The movie was well-shot, well-acted, and very entertaining. It was more like a play than a movie. I like the realism of the storyline. The barber was hilarious! Kate was AWESOME. I was very happy I watched this as it restored my faith in indie movies. Perhaps the weakest actor was Detective Marsh who didn't seem like she was into the story as much as the others. James should've looked a lot more disheveled (and smelly) than he did, since was in the same room for a while. Looking forward to Dungeon 2!

I'm a big fan of murder crime investigation thriller, I've seen almost most of the movies out there, I wanted movie to keep me and this movie does a fantastic job in that area. Good character building and it's not what it first seems at all in the end. I urge everyone to see this movie. Everything in this movie is fantastic, The plot is excellent, and the movie only focuses on the plot and the plot only no over the top moments-so if you like thriller and suspense movies, this is the ideal movie for you people. Each character fully commits to their duties; there is no overacting. Excellent work.
