Tethered

There's rarely a move I can't finish, but this move is one of those few exceptions. Horrible acting and direction with characters never taking a moment to consider a response, just rattling off their lines like they're late for lunch. No facial expressions, no reaction in their eyes, nothing.

And with dialog like "Hello detectives, what can I do for you detectives, would you like to come in detectives, and have a seat detectives" it's clear the writers have no idea how people actually talk.

Stinky.

A captivating sci-fi mystery set in the present day, following Detective Sam Morris as she investigates a missing-persons case that quickly spirals into something far more complex. The story expertly combines elements of mystery and personal drama, with Sam's own life becoming increasingly entangled in the investigation.

The storyline is engaging, delivering a mix of suspense and emotional depth. While some twists might be familiar to fans of the genre, the plot keeps you interested, and the pacing strikes a good balance between building tension and exploring the characters. The way sci-fi elements are woven into the detective story is imaginative, making for a compelling and immersive experience.

This is a great pick for a weekend movie, offering a fresh and enjoyable take on the mystery genre that's sure to keep you hooked.

Tethered is a great example of why indie films deserve more attention and appreciation. This film weaves an engaging story that balances drama and suspense with a level of creativity often lacking in mainstream Hollywood productions. Despite its modest budget, Tethered delivers a captivating experience that keeps viewers on edge with its unpredictable plot twists and atmospheric tension.

The film thrives on its character-driven narrative and well-paced storytelling. While it may not have the flashy effects or big-name stars of a blockbuster, it more than compensates with its gripping atmosphere and thought-provoking themes. The commitment to building suspense, paired with emotional depth, makes Tethered a standout in the indie horror-drama genre.

What's particularly commendable is how the film showcases the ingenuity and passion often found in independent cinema. It's clear that every shot, every line of dialogue, and every eerie moment was carefully crafted. Fans of twisty Hollywood thrillers will find that Tethered offers a similarly engaging experience, with the added charm of being a uniquely creative indie project.

In a landscape filled with big-budget spectacles, Tethered is a reminder of the raw talent and storytelling power that indie films bring to the table. It's both highly entertaining and a testament to what can be achieved with a clear vision, regardless of budget.

First of all, congrats on all of your hard work!!! It's a lot more work than people realize to make a film and it was done on a very small budget.

It's ok, I'd give it a C. The film is good quality and the acting is decent, but I'll be honest, it didn't grab my attention as much as I'd hoped it would based on the synopsis.

I stumbled upon Tethered while scrolling through prime the other night. I vaguely remembered the trailer, which didn't particularly grab my attention, but something about the thumbnail made me click play. Honestly, the movie looked so much better than I expected, way beyond what the trailer had shown.

As I got into it, I was pleasantly surprised by how the plot unfolded. It's packed with twists that I didn't see coming, keeping me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Every time I thought I had it figured out, the story threw in another curveball. It was one of those films where you think you're watching one thing, but it turns out to be something entirely different-and in the best way possible.
