Хелмингтон, 黑明顿失踪事件
Before I begin my review of this movie upon which I was apart of as a background actor in the funeral scene plus bar scene. This was one of my earliest acting gigs in my career. So I feel apart of it. Now onto the review of it and surprisingly it is a good murder mystery cult crime movie which slowly unravels from beginning to end. Now the performances are good along with the directing. I reccomend that you watch it!!
An impressive film, if you take into account it was shot in 15 days. The acting for the most part is good, however is elevated by great performances by Michael Ironside and Munro Chambers (who is showing so much levels of talent each time we see him).
While there is a little hints of supernatural or horror connections, the film mainly follows a procedural investigation from our lead, that may find somethings she wasn't looking for. The mystery is intriguing and can be very upsetting at times. The ending, once the whole story is revealed ends very abruptly with a end credit song choice that didn't fit.
And in all, this is a fine independent film. And I look forward to future films by these directors.
Strange Canadian film that claims to be a horror but is mostly just a drama. Basically a slow burn detective story with confusing lore and some kind of ghost and an ending I didn't totally get. Weird and bad twists.
Im just gonna say it because I don't think you should watch this: there's a scene and plot point about a girl getting taken advantage of at a college party and they show it and it's really uncomfortable. Like, I don't have trauma, but maybe just don't show someone being assaulted!
Anyway, this sucked. Poster was way better than the movie.
Wants to be a slice off the same pie as Twin Peaks/Alan Wake/True Detective, but never raises its voice to be heard on its own. It carries a fleshed out story, just it's never told in a way you could care. Characters are cold and un-human, and the flow is a flat line, so we really have nothing for us to reel us in here. A valiant attempt, but nothing remarkable in the end.
i watched this only bc i think Munro Chambers is hot but they made him a dirty hick man in this
Poster is creep and the movie was just all over the place. All the characters were flat as a pancake and had no emotion and they gave out their lines like they just wanted the little pay check. Awful.
While's it's nice to see Michael Ironside getting roles with a little nuance to them, this dumb "small town secrets should stay buried" outing is hampered from the beginning by its flat, unlikeable lead, and by the end has basically fallen apart in a heap on the floor.
