Sensored

I was expecting a slightly more intelligent version of Saw/Hostel but was even more pleasantly surprised to find this dark and thought-provoking independent movie was much more complex. As the character of Wade (Robert Picardo) is introduced to us and we observe his rituals, obsessions and the cruelties that fill his life we are drawn deeper into a psychotic world of stupefying sterility.

To say very much more would be to spoil the film for the viewer as you need to go along on the journey with the writer, director and actors and discover the story for yourself.

It is a terrible shame more people haven't seen this film so far and I hope it becomes the cult classic it deserves to be. Robert Picardo is magnificent in the lead role - dry, intelligent, riven with internal strife and somehow like the characters in Beckett of a David Lynch movie, completely beyond his own control; scripted in some divine and diabolic way that runs the razor edge of insanity.

Not a popcorn movie but a must see definitely!

I just saw this movie at the Sacramento Film Festival and I must say that I really enjoyed it. I think I went through every emotion at least once. Brian Hamm, director of photography did a phenomenal job. Robert Picardo played an excellent role. Great job on the script by Kevin Haskin. I believe this was Ryan Todds first time directing a feature length film and he did not disappoint! I heard this movie was shot in about three weeks, thats amazing! I'm really looking forward to the DVD release to get a peek at the behind the scenes footage. From the Q and A session that the cast did last night, it sounds like the art/set team section is going to be really good. I definitely recommend you see this movie.

What an uneventful little film this was. I admit that the plot description makes it sound interesting, but in execution it's just yet another 'torture porn' spin-off from either SAW or HOSTEL, featuring people being tied up and tortured by a psycho. You have to feel for former STAR TREK actor Robert Picardo, being caught up in such a cheap and uneventful movie.

I do enjoy B-movies as long as they're interesting, but SENSORED never is. The whole story is told in flashback with a twist or two that will be obvious from the outset. It's dim, murky, and exceptionally non-entertaining, with half the soundtrack just consisting of people screaming throughout. You just don't care about the characters despite the twists and turns of the plotting, which makes this a chore to sit through.
