The Super

After seeing the trailer for this on Netflix I thought it looked interesting. It started very well, building tension and developing the story. Val Kilmer is fine (though a little hammy) in his role as a creepy janitor, although much of his dialogue appeared to have been (badly) dubbed from an early point in the film. I won't spoil it with details, but suffice to say that the last half an hour doesn't make a lot of sense, is a bit cliched, has some dialogue obviously overdubbed with different dialogue (maybe they decided the film wasn't worth the effort of re-shooting the scenes?) and doesn't satisfy with the ending, which had me scratching my head a bit, wondering how it explained some of the earlier scenes. So a mixed bag; Some good scenes early on, a decent cast, nicely shot, just don't expect to feel it was really worthwhile at the end of it.

Neat concept, poorly written and filmed. Some lines are dubbed over which makes me think they ran out of money .

Val Kilmer, Patrick "The 4400" John Fleuger and the excellent Louisa "Jane Wants A Boyfriend" Krause lead in this novel little thriller that is worth 90 minutes of your attention.

It tells the story of a former police officer who takes a job as maintenance worker within an apartment building. He moves in with his two daughters but quickly begins to have suspicions about the mysterious janitor.

The Super's plot is pretty standard stuff with two twists, one of which you'll see coming within the first few minutes of the film. The cast are great, do a brilliant job and the whole thing looks polished.

Arguably more a thriller than a horror it didn't blow me away in any regard but I can't deny that I did walk away relatively entertained. It's one of those passable movies throughout with a payoff that is satisfactory but just barely.

Likeable Louisa Krause really helped the movie for me and alongside Val Kilmer (Who is back on form) it's the cast that really lift the movie to an above average level.

A harmless 90 minutes of viewing.

The Good:

Some great cinematography

Solid cast

Kilmer is better than he has been in years

The Bad:

Doesn't flow very well

Finale is somewhat eyebrow raising

Worst movie ever for adding Voice Overs that were nowhere near what the actor or actress actually said. You can tell so easily that it makes the producers look stupid!

This movie tried, but it failed.

It seems like they wanted to re-write part of the ending so they just re-dubbed different dialogue over the old lines, it's glaringly obvious.

The "twist" ending is so ridiculous, you'll be rolling your eyes for the last 15 minutes and it's just been done so many times, and much better elsewhere.

Don't bother. The movie starts out good, then is a boring hour with a ridiculous ending.

I'm easily entertained, but this movie is a mess.
