The Surreal Project

The premise was cool, the cover looked goofy but whatever, then I watched the acting. It's so hard to get through this movie but watch it if you want something hilariously badly acted.

The Whispering Man (2019) is a movie I recently watched for free off Tubi. The storyline surrounds a man who is a YouTube blogger who inherits a strange painting from his grandparents home. Shortly after bringing the painting home the man's home seems possessed by a being trapped in the painting that may have been responsible for his grandparents death as well. This movie is directed by Jozsef Gallai (Aftermath and Moth) and stars Andras Korscmaros (The Rite), David Fecske (The Poltergeist Diaries), Agota Dubai (Spirits in the Dark) and Rob Oldfield (Moth). This is a found footage film that feels like some guys and his group of friends made it. The acting, script and character interactions were painful. The guy pictured on the cover of the film...is never in the film, just the noises he makes as people are attacked by him. I was definitely hoping for a little more effort from this film. I'd give this a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.

If you like Hungarians sitting on couches and talking to the camera, you're going to love this movie. It never shows us anything, opting instead to let Hungarians on sofas describe it. Why bother with action sequences and flashbacks when you can let a Hungarian on a sofa talk to you instead?

Good luck with this one. They had an idea, it's an idea which has been done but still they tried. The painting of the whispering man isn't bad. There's a nice song. That's about it.

The acting is woefully bad. You'll think it's bad then they introduce another character and it gets worse. There's a smugness about the two main guys, like they're 15 year olds who have just smoked their first doobie.

It's pretty dull. Terrible acting. Don't bother.

I fell asleep 3 times while watching this, and didn't miss a beat. This was painfully slow, painfully acted, and just plain painful to watch. These kids should be ashamed of themselves for participating in this project. And all the "action" is off screen.
