Making Monsters

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.

Just randomly decided to stream this movie. For an independent film, it definitely grabbed my attention more than normal. I went into it, expecting a really bad movie, but was delightfully surprised that it kept my attention.

Reflecting on the movie as a whole, it feels like it was struggling to understand its own identity. The plot seemed like copied and pasted good parts from wildly different scary movies. All culminating in a very watchable movie that lacked any sort of cohesion. A storyline that gives ADHD on cocaine vibes.

Last but not least, the actress makes one dumb face throughout the whole movie, it was unbearable to see.

Started off very enjoyable, but the ending was disappointing. They could have done so much with it! And didn't really tie everything up. All in all, well worth a watch, even if just for the gorgeous church converted house!!

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 ...
