Sam Was Here

I have been watching movies since I was 10 and I am 46 years old now and this movie is in the top 5 boring stupid movies I have ever seen .. it started good and pull me in and I wanted to know why is everything happening to sam ..

the ending was so bad and boring ..

its not horror and its not Thriller it starts as a Mystery and ends in Mystery ..

and sorry English is not my language ..

but this movie is a waste of time ..

If you read the story-line here on IMDb you basically know everything about this movie. You won't get any surprises, answers or whatever. I don't get why you would make a movie without giving any explanations at the end. It's a total waste of our time. The filming is professional though, nothing bad to say about that. The actors are also okay. It's just the story-line that make no sense at all. There is that strange red glow in the air, people wearing masks trying to kill the main character, the radio host doing strange movements with his back etc. All things you will never get an explanation. So why bother and waste your time watching this? It has no point. I wished I didn't lose my time with this movie.

It kept me watching. Intriguing, Twilight Zone-like story line that requires you to suspend disbelief on occasion.

BUT

It's still more interesting than most films of its kind. Good performance from lead actor and the crazy people he encounters. I loved the score as well.

The ending will leave you retracing what you watched, reviewing it in your head, wondering if you experienced it properly or not. I suspect that was the point.

LOL.. I'm not good at writing reviews but think I do feel like writing something for this. There were a few other reviews before mine and I agreed with most of them that this film did start out interesting. cinematography is done quite nicely and the mystery with all these questions in your mind as you are watching keep you watch till the end. Then you simply hit the wall, I mean, they make you hit the wall real hard.. lol.. I just have to laugh a few more times to feel less stupid about myself. There really are no spoilers if you ask me because there is nothing to reveal in the end. I mean.. it's just like that.. "well that's it?" you keep asking yourself this question for 5 minutes. You sit there staring at the end credits and you mind is blank. I watched a lot of movies which had mysterious endings but it's fine because it still gave me some kind of hints to imagine the rest with my little mind. But this? I don't know if the director thinks he's being clever while I think this is just plain lazy to make a ZERO ending like this. Sorry I told you in the beginning I wasn't good at writing reviews... **flies away laughing**

This movie was such a perplexing audio/visual experience. You have a great premise, some great talent attached to it, a really creepy sense of atmosphere, and an AMAZING synth soundtrack. You got some horror, some thriller elements, some gore and violence, and some really disturbing visuals. I mean, this film had it all. And just when you think the downfall of quality was going to come to a head, it dribbles to a light drizzle and then it's over. Seriously, one of the most ambiguous and open-ended films I have ever seen, I still don't truly understand what it is I watched. Who was Sam? Why are they after him? What did he do that made people hate him so much? You would think that at 90 minutes, you would have an answer. All we get is an infinite amount of questions that I am not sure I even want to ask.

The acting was great, the atmosphere was excellent, and the soundtrack was euphoric. But it was like making a cake that just tastes off in the end. You think you have the recipe on lock, you use the freshest ingredients, and your timing is impeccable. But the end result leaves a bad taste in your mouth. That describes this movie to a T. Watch it for the acting and the cinematography, and enjoy the wonderful soundtrack. But this movie just didn't make any sense. How unfortunate.
