Black Eyed Susan

Sorry, was intrigued by what I read early on about this one---but It doesn't deliver the goods, but instead just takes on a dark kink aura with a propensity to showcase some (perceived), and also displayed graphic violence towards a female android/robot.

Got brutal enough and graphic enough for me to barely finish but slogged through as it's thankfully a short enough run time. It's not thought provoking or interesting but has that uneasy "uneven dynamic" at times that you may have seen in some early exploitation horror films (ISOYG), say, from the 80s...that are just replacing the final girl/rape victim with a artifical intelligence. Seeing some of these positive reviews gives me little hope for fans of this sort of garbage. Even with the female lead actress, being a real person, it wasn't selling what it was offering to me, that's for sure. File next to "rape-y/beaten woman movie if the week"

Sad that warped enough people exist to recommend this in a public forum. Trash gets trash.

A bold and intentionally uncomfortable film, not only in its portrayal of the truth of man's dark sexual impulses but in its willingness to ask questions without answering them.

The three principals shine, each in their own way. Yvonne Emilie Thälker (the eponymous Susan) gives an unnerving portrayal of a sex-doll who we hope or fear could be much more. Marc Romeo as her creator is disturbingly clear-eyed about his singularity of purpose for her, with his practical but not principled approach. Holding it all together is perennial horror star's Damian Maffei's understated but painfully realistic performance as a deeply self-disappointing person whose desire for redemption takes him places the other two may not want to go.

Even with some minor stumbles in the acting from supporting characters and some dents in the plot,I can see why this film nevertheless currently has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

An extremely cheap soft core porno in laughably poor film quality. Most phones can do better than this, i dont know where this footage came from or how old it actually is. This could have been made in the 90s or early 2000s, but it would still be a poor quality shill of a film. The fact that imdb and rotten tomatoes both have positive reviews from critics is just inane. Two here rated it 9/10, and every single critic review on rotten tomatoes is positive, of which there are at least a dozen.

There is nothing clever happening here, nothing insightful, and nothing creative or artistic. Its just really bad softcore pornography, and im disappointed that it's been given placement on these sites at all. This speaks immensely towards the recent failures of hollywood and the streaming bubble.

This film hits hard right to start, with an intense and gritty opening to set the tone. Alan comes in and portrays just how dark you can be, and then with a flip of the switch, normal and calm. The mirror of how most humans are in the modern age. The dark energy Alan starts with lingers throughout the rest of film, as you try to follow the characters and figure how how it's all going to end..and the ending twist will make your jaw hit the floor. Susan is unnerving, as her character grows and progresses throughout the film as she is with Derek. Definitely worth the watch, especially if you enjoy dark movies that really make you ponder where this is a movie...and where this could be reality.

I went into this expecting nothing and it's obvious there was very little budget here. What there is though is a kind of conversation starter of a plot. Yes, it touches on brutality, human like dolls and very sensitive subject matter. Yes, it's loaded with nudity, but this is not anything like an adult movie. There are some very interesting ideas here, and I think the script was a good one. While I didn't love the lead actress in her role , I think it was a difficult role to begin with, to play, I thought Damian Maffei was excellent as was Mark Romeo. There are some difficult scenes to watch and one containing a razor blade had me squirming but the twist in the movie is shocking and genuinely has something to say about today's world. I believe the bad reviews are reviewing the subject matter and not the movie itself. The movie needed a larger budget, and the cinematography is poor. The script needed polishing, yet overall this was very good and worth a watch. If you think this is just a film about brutality, you are wrong. It raises so many more questions.
