User reviews

I normally don't write reviews with my star ratings, but this film deserves to be ridiculed.

The poster essentially sums up what kind of movie you're getting.

The cinematography appears as if it was shot in the early 2000s, and the direction/writing just seems off from a lot of different standpoints.

I think the worst thing about Serial Beauty is that the cast itself is a solid cast, however, with a bad script, and bad directing, they don't have much to work with.

Unfortunately, this is another one of those low budget films that uses bots, family, and friends to leave good reviews to make the film seem as if it's actually good.

Serial Beauty (2024) recently popped up in my Amazon Prime suggested feed, and I figured I would give it a watch since a lot of the cast have appeared in titles that I'm a fan of.

What I struggled with when it comes to this film is that you almost get invested in the story, but the bad writing and the dated camera style/work get in the way and drastically take away from the talent and the film itself.

When I see a film like this, I try my absolute best to seek out the performances of the actors that I admire and look for the good, however, there is not much "good" to be found in "Serial Beauty".

This was an extremely impressive and epic suspense film. The title itself, Serial Beauty, is intriguing and the movie does not disappoint. There are many twists and turns in this story about police detectives as they hunt down a very mysterious serial killer who seems to be targeting beautiful female victims specifically. All the actors did a solid job, especially Alexandra Grossi, I thought she was great. This film is well written and well directed. I especially liked all the fantastic Los Angeles locations. Sigal Erez is a talented filmmaker. If you're looking for a great suspense movie, give this movie a watch.

I was looking for something to watch this past weekend when I came across Sigal Erez's 2024 film Serial Beauty and decided to give it a shot.

Upon tuning in, I almost instantly regretted my purchase, as the film's production quality took away from all chances of enjoying this film.

Believe me, I tried, and I did make it through the entire film, however, the quality of this film has to be forewarned, as it is a major distraction, and takes away from the performances, and perhaps even the plot.

I occasionally wonder how certain films get made based on the acting and the plot, but with this film, I wonder how it got made with the cinematography.

First of all, I wasn't sure how to feel about the film because I wasn't able to quickly categorize it but once I just gave in I REALLY enjoyed it. I'm not very well versed in mythology but the story of Lilith was really interesting to explore. It's a hauntingly beautiful film. One of the other things that sets this film apart is its non-exploitative approach to violence which I really appreciate as a woman. Maybe because it's done by a female filmmaker?

The story itself kind of reminded me of the Black Dahlia murder (I'm really into true crime) in a way but it's definitely not the same and is much more palatable, especially with the emphasis on all of the other storylines. Really unique and not like anything else that's out there. Definitely worth a watch.

Where do I even start...

I checked this film out on a pure whim with the internal hopes that it would have some promise, and wow, I must say, this incredibly let me down.

If you happen to read other reviews, you will see that a lot of the complaints surround the acting and the camera work, which didn't bother me too much (I've seen worse), however, it was more the plot that made absolutely no sense, and was honestly all over the place.

I guess I went in expecting something that had Egytpian-related undertones, with some horror elements. Still, I was either misled by the poster/trailer or just misunderstood the entire concept.

Regardless, avoid if possible, unless you can make a game out of it.

Well,

Serial Beauty on the surface appears to be a solid film, with a solid cast, and an okay script, however, it all falls apart within the first 20 minutes of the film.

I rented this film on Amazon Prime, and for the first time since becoming a Prime member, I've actually requested my money back for a purchase.

This film is amateur at best, and by no means am I a professional filmmaker, but I've seen enough movies to know when something is not professionally made.

My biggest complaint besides the quality is the messiness of the script, as this film goes 15 different ways, and gets lost 15 more.

Please stray away if possible, or at least watch when it's streaming for free.

I was drastically misled by positive reviews of Sigal Erez's film Serial Beauty.

The film comes across as something that was filmed in 2004, which is unfortunate, as it appeared the cinematographer has a decent background.

Per other negative reviews, the actors involved are good, but the script makes them look aloof and quite simply lost.

I'm not exactly sure what direction Sigal was trying to go with this film, however, it appears that it didn't go the way she wanted it to.

I did see a few reviews that are bot reviews, which is unfortunately a trend within this industry and can easily be misleading to viewers.

Ignore at all costs.

Serial Beauty, a mystery/thriller film co-written and directed by Sigal Erez, has such a fascinating concept at the core of its plot. I enjoyed the characters and the mystery that drove the story forward. I also love the title

• it's clever and perfect for the movie! Really fitting. The acting is solid as well. I enjoyed the suspense and felt that the story contained a lot of twists and turns which kept it moving and kept me invested, wanting to know what would happen next. It also has solid production value for an indie movie. Overall, this is a really solid independent film that's worth watching!

Serial Beauty's description/plot intrigued me initially, so I went ahead and added it to my watchlist.

I was finally able to check it out this past weekend, and I couldn't have been more let down by a film.

The story is so fascinating, but the production value is "student film" quality at best, and the acting is sub-par, with mediocre visual effects.

I'm not sure if it was budgetary restrictions that affected this film, or it was issues with the script, however, something happened and caused this film to fall flat and become unwatchable.

In summary, it is a great idea, but the final product leaves the viewer not only wanting more but completely let down.

What a nice surprise. This is a fun thriller/dry comedy with some nice performances. Serial Beauty is about two cops trying to track down a killer who's turning his victims into mannequins and works of art. Yes, you have to overlook a few things, and the cinematography at times is a little inconsistent, but I really enjoyed this film, mostly because of the dry humor.

Serial Beauty also succeeds because the acting is really good; the cast all seem to be on the same page. I thought the character Vadim the mortician, played by Tihomir Dukic, did a really good job. He's a little over the top, but I like that he made that choice. He's super creepy and fixated on the beauty of these dead women, which is unnerving and plays into the world writer and director Sigal Erez created. I don't think this film is for everyone, and again, that's why I like it even more. I don't mind the rough edges. I can see what Sigal is doing, and I enjoyed it. It is also unpredictable and has a few twists, which was nice to watch.

I recently enjoyed this truly unique movie that completely captivated me. It was full of surprises, and I highly recommend it. The movie is a thrilling, spiritual experience with biblical references and memorable characters that are cast perfectly The settings in North Carolina and especially contemporary Los Angeles are stunning, and the entire movie is very intense and interesting. It's the type of movie that stays with you for a long time and keeps you pondering. It's not an easy one to try to explain to friends, but it's certainly worth watching while learning some fascinating, unforgettable Kabbalah. Kept me on the edge of my seat...
