In Extremis

I am sure this film is not to everyone's taste, especially if expecting a flash bang Hollywood movie that needs no concentration.

For me, that was the charm. I had no idea what to expect, but I was pleased I watched it.

It is a bit of a slow burn, and you need to think about what is going on and pay attention. I really didn't know which way the story was going - which was it's charm.

When the end of the film happened it was a surprise. In retrospect I could see all the clues were there throughout the film.

The acting was superb, as was the production. This film deserves a much higher rating that given here.

You'll be super tossed. If you like painful boring films where people speak in riddles and no one bothers to question why everyone is speaking in riddles with the other majority of the film is the father stumbling around coonfused to his daughter's cries.......so much pain and the ending was not a good payofff at all and predictable. So I suffered.....like you suffered through my rant but seriously Im trying to save you your precious time

If you are looking for a typical "horror" movie, this is not the film for you. It is moody and dark, and you have to pay attention. It's more of a psychological thriller/suspense/drama. It gave me the same vibe as "Jacob's Ladder".

The acting is wonderful. Beautiful cinematography as well. As another reviewer said, you have to pay attention to the details.

I am a fan of David O'Hara's. He is a fabulous actor. I would love to see him in more movies. The prior reviews did help me to prepare for the movie. Those who left poor reviews obviously do not understand this type of movie.

In Extremis is categorized in the genre horror and thriller so it was purely based on that that I watched it. Did I get to see a horror or a thriller? Absolutely not, so for that alone I was already disappointed. Add on that that the first fifty minutes of the movie are pretty lame, where you wonder what is going on, and that not in the mysterious way but in the boring way, and you get a below average movie. The second part made up for it a little bit but still it was not good enough. The acting was okay for some and bad for others. Lisa Gormley was bad, so I looked her up, and of course she played in a soap series, Home and Away in this case. So I was not really surprised why I thought she was a low ranked actress. The kid Anna played by Isabelle Allen was also poor acting. Sometimes you have really young actors that are good, but Isabelle Allen isn't one of them. Just skip this movie and watch something else.
