Dormant

...for terribleness. Seriously, this may be the worst movie I've ever seen. The only reason I stuck with it was because my wife picked it so.... The dialog was as bad as I've ever seen and the acting was only slightly better. The plot was confusing at best and just plain confused at worse. Seriously, I feel like this was an hour and a half I'll never get back.

This movie is unbelievable, I didn't know movies could be so bad, and I've seen Samurai Cop. Unbelievable characters ,unbelievable plot. From it's story to it's characters to it's writing to it's direction it sucks all the way around.

The only reason this movie got off the ground was that fact that the writer is also the producer and director and star... I can't imagine anyone wanting to attach their name to this project.

Jay Burton if you see this, learn to run your ideas by people that will actually give you honest advice and criticism, try to do something less convoluted.

Jay Burton has a wonderfully plotted thriller here, it builds in an almost Hitchcock like way right up until the end (where Burton sucker punches you with the twist). Expertley shot film, I loved seeing my home state of Alabama filmed so beautifully. This film has complete rewatchability, Dormant is full of little bread crumbs many I missed the first time through. Definitely recommend if you are in the mood for something that is a cross between Hitchcock, a spy film, and some good old film noir.

I liked this movie. I heard about it since I'm from Alabama and I enjoyed it. I was surprised by the great camerawork and music and editing, since I know this was a low budget film. The acting was good. The detective was a straight forward cop-- almost too calm and collected-- he was cool. The main character/killer was pretty freaky. You'll have this character crawl under your skin as it moves along. This is an Independent Movie (Indie). Don't try to compare this to a $100M budgeted Hollywood movie. Yes, if you add Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro, it would be amazing. This movie is decent !

Making his first ever full length film debut in theses departments, writer and director Julian Jay Burton also stars in this film, that is nothing new or unique and rather cliched. The directing is decent but the 96 min runtime felt like 2+ hours with the slow dragged out pacing. Acting was sub-par, but I'm sure that was from the lack of experience in directing his cast, especially when he's also part of that cast. Ambitious to wear so many hats on your first film, probably should have invested in sharing some of those responsibilities, instead of the current 3 (and I'm sure more to come) fake 9 &10/10 reviews. It's a 5/10 from me.
