Rupture

Like most of the time before watching a horror movie I look it up on IMDb and look at the ratings it gets. And most of the time when the ratings are low, like for this one, I just read a couple positive reviews to try to give me an idea of what to expect. And when it seems plausible that it might be better then the ratings tell I give it a shot. So did I with Rupture, and I'm glad I did. Rupture deserves way more than it's actual ratings. The point of a good horror movie is that you are captivated by the story and that it keeps you on the edge of your seat. All credits go to the director Steven Shainberg that gave me everything I expected in a horror movie. Good actors, an intriguing story, a good soundtrack and choice of filming, but above all a lot of suspense. And if you honestly find there is no suspense in Rupture then you must have pay no attention to the movie. Rupture deserves better and if you like suspense without to much bloody details you will like this movie.

Because of the mostly bad reviews and a not so interesting marketing campaign I delayed to watch this movie for a long time.

Now, that I did catch up on it I'm glad I watched it. Rupture is way better than the reviews. If you're into sci-fi, intimate theatre, and don't expect non-Stop action I suggest you give it a chance. It offers An interesting plot, decent artworks, and good acting of capable actors.

The ending falls a little short compared to the previous acts.

This is a totally spoiler free review because it's best to see this film without knowing what to expect.

I watched this film with no expectations in mind at all, and i have found it watchable. Yes, it's nowhere near any of the best sci-fi movies, but it's an alright watch.

The dialogue of the movie is kind of lame and that's the thing that bothered me, but when it comes to the pace of the movie it's really good, i can guarantee you will not be bored. As for the plot, it's intriguing and I can't say you haven't seen it before, but i found it OK.

In the end, Rupture is a good watch at home when you have nothing to do and feeling like killing some time. Not great, not bad either, just mediocre.

The movie was pretty good all the way until the end. It had a horrible ending as if we will never know what has happened with the little boy. I hate movies that ends abruptly like that.

A woman is abducted by some people who tell her she is special and are going to "change her" to make her perfect.

This is a well acted, well shot, fairly well produced mid budget movie. Sometimes the sets look a bit over-lit and the few bits of CGI look cheap and nasty but overall the film is of a high standard.

The main character is very good and has a lot to shoulder. She does spend the majority of the film trussed up in one way or another looking petrified. This is not done in a way that makes it graphic, gory or titillating.

The only problem here is that the story doesn't have an awful lot to say but takes its merry time saying it.

Now, if you can get into this movie I think you will find it tense and enjoyable. I found I lost my patience a bit, I was gripped enough to want to see it through but my finger was hovering over the fast forward.

It appears I have a limit to the amount of time I am prepared to watch someone tied to a table and preached at.

The ingredients are here for something pretty good but be prepared to put the work in yourself.
