Comedown

I watch a lot of horror/slasher films and most of them I get about half way through before I turn off. Comedown had absolutely nothing new to add to the genre and the characters were pretty unlikeable, yet I found I managed to sit through the whole thing without actually turning it off.

A bunch of pretty horrible teenagers break into a condemned London tower block in order to set up a pirate radio station. However, there's the obligatory psycho happens to already be living there. And, unsurprisingly, he doesn't take too kindly to their intrusion. What follows is the typical 'hunt 'em and kill 'em' scenario.

Although the killer looks like he's already starred in I Know What You Did Last Summer, he's played by Geoff Bell, an actor who always puts in a good performance (even if he does only just squeak in this case!). The rest of the cast are basically 'killer-fodder.' You won't find yourself shedding too many tears when they start getting hacked to death. One girl is pregnant and her boyfriend is a reformed convict, so I think we're supposed to root for them. Jessica Barden, who plays a particularly 'chavvy' young lady, actually puts in a pretty good performance.

There's nothing new here and what little budget the film had seems to have been wasted on using computers to add extra blood in. Personally, I'd rather they'd have simply squirted a couple of bottles of tomato ketchup here and there, as the computer effects look a little bit too fake.

Like I say, nothing too new here, but strangely watchable and quite good fun in its genre.

First of all, I didn't watch the trailer of the movie since I stumbled upon this movie by accident when I was searching for something to watch in IMDb. Eventually, it wasn't a nice movie and I didn't really enjoy it. The movie synopsis was very interesting and kinda mysterious, but it wasn't innovative because there are too many movies similar to this one. The storyline wasn't well-written, nor well-explained and it was very simple. The characters weren't interesting, nor well-developed and they were super annoying. The casting choices were just fine, but their performances weren't nice. In my opinion, the highlight of the movie was definitely the killcount, since the kills were very bloody and brutal. At least, it was a kinda intense movie, but there weren't any action-filled moments. Last but not least, the ending was absolutely predictable and it was just fine. Overall, "Comedown" wasn't a nice slasher film, not scary, kinda boring, but the kills were awesome. So, I'm not sure if I would recommend it to my friends...

Some people just need to get off their high horse. This is a new generation of good British Drama. It's the emergence of a younger generation cultivating their own language, therefore the dialect is true to type of certain communities. Traditionalists are in denial that this section of society exists, and that their language has found its way into the movies.

The movie hosts a mix of teen crime, mischievous behaviour, youth cult and culture. It's the result of all growing up in a Tower Block in the same area, where the likelihood is that they all attended the same schools and went through the UK schooling system, and gang warfare - but these were not gangs - these were just a group of friends with 'attitude'.

So as it seems, already people agreed that there's nothing new here, nothing original, nothing outstanding, even more, you're going to find what you've already seen 1000 times.

Even so, movies like this could be enjoyable, yet, not this one, it's too dull, you have to wait for a loooong time for anything to happen and when it finally does...I don't know, it's dull, it's just dull. Now, a budget of £2,000,000 kinda takes you out of the indie section right? Therefore, you can't say you love it for the fact that is small, made with extra love and people might just find it in their hearts to like it! Only reason to enjoy it is if you're a fan of the director, cause he returned with one guy from his previous movies, so I guess it's safe to say you wanted to take a look further into their careers, you found this little gem, and there you have it, you're satisfied!

As a huge horror fan, I might say,I watched it with my gf, we both got bored, she even left the room, I almost prayed for the movie to end sooner, but it didn't. Therefore, it's all up to you, do as you please, watch it or don't; my opinion --> DON'T! You can do a lot better than this one!

I would like to start by saying the only reason this movie made it to 3 stars, is solely because it has Jessica Barden. I actually enjoyed the acting and setting in this movie, everything else pretty much missed the mark. I want to say the directing in this movie wasn't good. It seemed fairly predictable and not very suspenseful. I feel like I already knew what was going to happen before it happened. The story had potential but lacked so much detail that it was hard to understand why things were happening. I think it is worth the watch, but only if it's out of boredom, not to entertain.
