    Fresh take on a cabin-fever flick

    Tapping into some universal fears such as isolation, mutilation, and fear of the unknown, True Fiction explored experimentation, gaslighting, and induced fear techniques as fodder for a novelists new book. This film definitely pays homage to a few cabin-fever classics such as Misery, Hard Candy, and even the Shining, with many twists and turns. I loved it!

    Starts off great but lost the plot

    Had no idea where this film was going, and i was hooked. Until it got past the midway point and it sort of lost track.

    The ending was trash which is why i give it 5 stars

    Not a terrible film

    It is...something

    The reviews for this were seemingly off the charts (according to RT). So I went in thinking I missed it a couple years ago because I had never heard of it.

    Oh how I wish I could go back to that time. This movie is honestly, nothing special. But, there was certainly an effort put in to make it a bit better than an average low budget slash and hack movie.

    The acting...is fine. And the story with the twists and all...is okay. This whole film seemed like it was more or less a showcase for the main star (Sara Garcia). And she's good - but I think she's better suited for subtle drama rather than hardcore horror. That's just my opinion.

    The effects and direction are all pretty good. But again, if one should miss this movie, you really aren't losing anything. It's just- okay.

    True fiction

    Movie has you guessing from the beginning. A littlw confusing at times. But a good movie . Deserves rating higher than a 1 that's for sure.

    Fresh and exciting

    First of all I have to say that - once again - my theory that the imdb crowd cannot be trusted with horror movies is confirmed. I almost didn't watch this one due to its abymal rating, but when I did, it turned out to be one of the best I've come across in a while. It's hard to say much about it without giving too much away. Let me just say this: It's starts rather slow, explodes in the second half and keeps you surprised with twists and turns along the way. For mature genre fans it is definitely a treat.
