Val

Underrated. Much better than the current IMDB rating (5/10) suggests.

I hesitate to characterize this as a horror comedy. Its horror that doesn't take itself too serious. It was a fun ride. Poster and promotional phrase of the movie are dumb though, because they reveal this movie's twist. What was the reason for this?

In any case, i enjoyed this. A dialogue-driven offbeat comedy-horror movie? Whatever this was, it was entertaining. Kinda strange acting, but i liked it. Well structured characters, interesting enough to keep my attention. There was a second twist here that i didn't see it coming. Not mindblowing/original but good.

This was not scary neither hilarious or brilliant but i had fun watching this. Lower your expectations and if you like this genre, you will enjoy it too.

This horror comedy thriller is rather difficult to watch as a comedic movie for most of its duration and yet if one has the fortitude to watch it through to the end, it seems to redeem itself some. The primary problem for the audience is the rather off-putting behavior of Finn scripted by Aaron Fradkin, also director, and Vitoria Fratz who plays Jenny, a close friend of Finn. The story outline is solid, but the presentation is somewhat awkward in places as the humor mostly offered up by the luscious and mysterious Val, the woman whose home Finn breaks into and played by Misha Reeves with great affect cannot quite make up for the rather initial overly dramatic, brusque and rough performance by Finn that is actually out of character. In summary, this movie does touch on the notion of good and evil quite well and the last third of the movie almost makes up for the unintentional repelling nature of Finn along with the rather innovative quality performance of Val.

They absolutely did NOT have enough material for a full length movie. The story had me mildly interested early on as I waited for clues as to what was going on. I did not feel the payoff was even close to being worth the time I spent watching. Much of the movie revolves around the interplay between two main characters. I really didn't want to spend time with either one of them. What really bothered me though is how repetitive it got in the last act. I would recommend skipping it.

The film is a gem. Misha Reeves, as Val, grabbed my attention and kept it. The actors have good chemistry and the story was edgy and dark. Zachary Mooren (Fin) played a good counter to the manipulative Val.

Val is sharp, suspenseful, and an incredible ride. It's a pitch perfect horror comedy that will keep you guessing until the very end!! Just when you think you know where it's headed, the story totally turns on its head. Great script, beautifully directed and superb actors. Absolutely recommend - it's fun and campy-- just in time for Halloween!!
