Making Monsters

Saw this at 2020 Nevermore Horror Film Festival. Although a low budget film, its great orchestral score helped accentuate the suspense. I preferred to know as little as possible about the plot going in, and it certainly kept me guessing about what was going to happen next, and who set this into motion until the finale, which is difficult to do well. So, I won't spoil any of it here either.

I have to give to credit to this film because it was a random choice of selection without even researching too much of what the film was about. To my surprise, this was interesting and rather enjoyable for what it was.

I liked the execution of showing the right elements of creepiness to balance out the film and create this sort of paranoiac reality.

I do question the film, more so the characters and why? Was the initial substance meant to create such a trip or was it a game for the thrill of scare and live stream? Maybe it was both combined with a envy x jealousy, and out of this came an ultimate plan to become the new "it", the center of attention. The weird was obvious from the beginning...

I recommend this if you're looking for something different, something that's creative and creepy in one. It's a good one in my book.

I watched this last week, and actually chewed my nails during certain hide and seek type scenes. I was all scrunched up on my couch, with my hand over my mouth, thinking girl, don't breathe, he will hear you. Ha Hahahaha Is this an original story, no, but had some original elements and was just plain CREEPY and Claustrophobic feeling. I thought the acting was pretty good for a low budget movie and the house was pure eye candy for horror movie lovers of monster props. For some reason in certain scenes, that guy reminded me of a Duplass brother. This movie wasn't a splatter fest, used gore when it was vital to the scene, which I appreciate. And if you get in the head space that your one of the characters who played the couple as you watch it, It's actually full on scary if you put yourself in their shoes. The scariest part is that there well may be people out there, for REAL, doing horrific things like this to someone as you sit on your comfy sofa watching this movie. The world is full of SICKOs FOR REAL! :o.

If you are not into reality tv and/or prank shows, you may have to overcome a bit of ... well story plot to be interested or even invested. Then again, almost every movie needs to have some of that. If you can overcome that hurdle there is quite some tension and the movie is nicely told and edited.

Indulge it and it will be somewhat rewarding. Be offended from the start and you've wasted your time ...

I've seen a comment on here about wishing the stuff from the movie would happen to the creators. Why are you watching scary movies???? Go back to Disney channel. This movie has an interesting storyline that keeps you watching to find out what happens. It's one of the better horror movies I've watch this year.

So many movies have been doing the "web cam" style since, you know what, and I can appreciate what the movie has to offer. Trust me I've seen a lot of TERRIBLE and actually GROTESQUE movies. The actors did a great job.
