Gorenos

Wow! In a world of cliché horror movies with over the top gore and bad story lines finally a breath of fresh air! This movie was AWESOME! From start to finish it had me captivated and gripped to my seat. Not to mention it actually had a well thought out script and an idea that was pretty original. Also in my opinion most of these movies get relatively bad actors that are emotionless and can't play to the scenario of the fear the characters should be feeling. Not in this case, these actors were top-notch and the ability to display great humor without making the movie corny. It actually complimented the film quite well. The two main stars had great chemistry and were fantastic together. They played off of each other quite well and you genuinely believed they were friends. They've got rare talent that wouldn't surprise me if I saw them in the future. Great movie would recommend to anybody to watch!

Go into it knowing it's a generic type low budget horror movie, but it has aspects that are refreshingly different: African American main characters, funny dialogue, and better acting than a lot of B movies. I enjoyed it, especially the interaction of the 2 best friends and their acknowledgement of horror tropes.

I didn't expect much from this film, but I got a lot. The writer/s clearly gave this story some thought and credited their audience with at least reasonable intelligence. Unlike so many movies, including those with much bigger budgets that are full of plot holes this story holds it's own. Apart from the occasional slight overacting there was nothing to complain about. Whilst no one actor stood out they all did a good job and were believable. Let yourself get past the first few minutes and this film builds into a worth your time watch. I would recommend this film to horror movies fans and to anyone who appreciates a decent story.

I waited the 15 Min's as suggested, although the acting was so bad I wanted to turn off after 5 Min's, but I thought let me give it a chance. Nothing changed the acting was still awful, and so was the story-line. I watched all the way through in hope of some greatness but no. Waste of time. If I can say the best bit of the film was the theme song at the end, that's saying something. Low budget bad acting

Right, well I had absolutely no idea what I was in for when I picked up a copy of the "Gorenos" movie. I liked the title and saw that it was a horror movie, that was essentially all that was needed to persuade me to watch it - as I am a major fan of the horror genre.

But "Gorenos" sort of starts out like it is a spoof on the horror genre, sort of like director and writer Clarence Williams IV was making an "Inception" of horror movies. It felt like a spoof at the beginning, but turned out to be an actual movie. But then this is where the horror aspect comes in being used relatively loose. Now, the movie might be labeled as a horror movie, but it was not a horror movie, believe you me.

The acting in the movie was mundane at best, and I can't really pinpoint any one of the performers in the movie as being outstanding, for better or worse. Sure, they did what they had to do, I suppose, but this was definitely not a top of the line production.

As for the storyline, well its was easy to follow because it was so simple - almost to the point of being so simple it had vanished. There were absolutely no surprises, no plot twists, no ups or down, no nothing in this storyline. Not even anything remotely scary or disturbing. Nor were there anything entertaining, in terms of interesting demonic creatures, gore, destruction, jump scares. No, there was nothing here aside from a guy rambling on about being tormented by a demon, while his friends were dying but fortunately always out of sight of the audience. Yeah, we were not even given that visual treat.

"Gorenos" was boring, let's just be blunt and not dance around the bush. It offered nothing to the horror genre. In fact, the only thing scary about this movie is the fact it is labeled as a horror movie, when it so painstakingly obviously isn't. If you, like me, enjoy a good and entertaining horror movie, do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Gorenos".

The entire movie had a Spike Lee mixed with your typical spoof comedy movie element to it. Whether that was intentional or not, is beyond me. But it wasn't worked in favor of the movie, let me just tell you that.

I managed to suffer through the entire ordeal of "Gorenos". Sure, I fell asleep towards the end, but woke up to see how the ludicrous movie ended. This movie came and went without causing a single ripple on the pond, and it will never ever be revisited by me again.
