Metamorphosis

Top ten worst movies ever. I couldn't finish it in one sitting. I got bored every ten minutes as nothing happened. No character development, no plot development, essentially no movie. I forced myself to finish it because I rented it. But it was psychological torture to do so. So if the movie's intent was to psychologically torture people with boredom and completely nonsensical nothingness- Kudos great job.

This couldn't be worse than if they were trying to make it bad. Some scenes I couldn't even see what was happening it was so dark. Nothing explained just random boringness. One reviewer said it was edge of you seat thrilling. The only way I'd be on the edge of my seat is if I'd fallen asleep and fell off the edge of my chair. This was free on amazon so I shouldn't gripe too much. I don't know why you keep saying how many characters I have to put here. I never had to write a minimum before and I've seen reviews much shorter than mine. There are no spoilers cause I saw no plot or anything to spoil. I hate to give bad reviews but this was so bad I had to.

I'm not sure why this movie has such a high rating currently- almost a 9. While the movie wasn't absolutely terrible, it's certainly not worth that high of a rating. Definitely a slow burn movie, and not a typical horror film. I'd still call it horror, but drama-horror. The acting was decent, considering how little dialogue there is. I did find the film to be a bit boring, I had to fight against nodding off while watching. Honestly, not much happens until the end, and even then, it's minimal. The story is pretty minimal as well, and not very clear. Maybe that's the point? One of my biggest problems with the film is that I didn't care about either character- I cared a bit more for Alyssa than Hugh, but barely. He just comes across like a huge a-hole most of the time, and she just doesn't speak much in response to him. When the little bit of stuff that happens starts happening, I didn't really care. I don't think it's the actors' fault, but the writers didn't create characters that we feel any empathy towards. Wouldn't watch again.

Great film, very entertaining and I enjoyed it from start to finish. Amazing storyline I think the writer had a fantastic vision and it all came alive IN front of my eyes! Its hard finding a film that keeps your attention, and I did not check my phone once! I was fully into the movie.

Yeah, me either. So as you can imagine not all that much happens. In fact, I can't really tell you what happened at all. And a lot of what DID happen was never explained or addressed... such as some foreboding neighbors and their motives, some mysterious nudes, some personal limb gnawing and well, a metamorphosis... to name a few.

Aesthetically the movie was beautiful. The quality of the picture was crisp and on point and the shots that were taken were gorgeous and atmospheric. Also the sound design added a lot to it as well and added to the desired atmosphere.

The acting was not phenomenal. It was primarily a two person cast and my main girl did a decent job. The guy on the other hand... he had the looks for sure, but that was about it. His performance was just odd and not in the I'm slowing slipping into insanity odd... but like unconvincing delivery with a stilted performance odd. The dialogue certainly did them no favors. It was... clunky, to say the least. Almost sounded like it was written by an AI trying to write a script for a soap.

As a lover of indi cinema, I hate to be that guy... but this felt like a bit of a waste of time. I think there was some light potential there but it was a very undeveloped idea. It would take some recasting, a major rework of the script and beefing up of the plot to get there. I'm giving this a 3 because a 2 feels harsh, but it was close. Would not recommend.
