A Killer Rising

When it comes to acting, I'm really not sensitive. Often when people write about how awful the acting is in a movie, I haven't even noticed. But in this movie it's really something else. Stiff lines delivered without a hint of acting skills.

I guess most people have seen The Room by now. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that the lines and the acting is at that level. It's like some kids in high school got an hour to write dialogue and then "act" it out.

Since there was no way to get captivated by the story, being constantly reminded that these were ordinary people reading clumsy lines, I turned it off about 10 minutes, so I can't say much about the overall plot. However, already in these first minutes you could tell that the writing was also incredibly stupid. No way FBI agents would act like this, especially not like the female lead.

Acting is unbelievably pitiful. Writing is horrible. As a submariner who prides himself in being able to complete any movie I sit down to watch...I have to say, after four tries I still was unable to complete more than 1 hour and 9 minutes. Puke fest.

We've all seen the "Loose Cannon" investigator go after killers. The first half of this movie is all about the "Crazy cop." It gets dull. However, the second half truly delivers. The lead actress is terrifying as she goes into a dark, psychotic place. Good film. For: Procedural/Revenge enthusiasts Skip: Edge of your seat types

Michael Fredianelli delivers an original take on the serial killer vs. FBI agent narrative. The suspense is well built and entertained and the plot has some brilliant unexpected twists. Solid watch

A suspenseful, aptly horrifying ride! There's some division on this film. I think it comes down to how much you like indie filmmaking. If you're expecting a big-budget, slick, fake movie, you're going to be disappointed. But if you want a thrilling horror film, raw, edgy, real, then this is for you. I was thoroughly into it!
