A.M.I.

This is the problem with this film. Hard to take it seriously when the lead actor looks like she should picking her daughter up from highschool not attending one. I keep trying to figure out in the beginning if they were in college or what. Then I find out they're supposed to be in highschool?

I liked the ending and few funny things typical for young people, except bit unreal and extreme. Makes us aware of our obsessions to phone and how they can or can not replace people. Few cool things in form of talk and revenge. Also liked that unlike in most other things that everything looked real (cat, stabbing, burning, blood). But everything else is so unexplained, unfinished, unclear, ignored, without any reason. Meaning bad story, has so much holes that makes us wonder the purpose of all the happenings. Maybe this horror is best suited for younger people or kids who believe in magic and do not ask questions. I liked that movie is about our current problems and technology, so makes it more interesting.

After finding out that Asylum does movies closed titled to other such productions, I've noticed this trend happening more and more in the horror industry.

So, A.M.I isn't anything spectacular but has an interesting premise, a great a-la Carpenter soundtrack and that's about it. The rest sadly comes as generic as possible, and misses every mark out there. Perhaps there was room for more, but I fail to see how and where, because the plot is over stretched from start and just lingers and lingers.

I wish I had more better things to say about it, but sadly I will not recommend it. It's too much out there, trying but failing to deliver anything new or captivating in its own way.

Cheers!

Other than this being a time filler (a movie to watch when you've basically exhausted all the decent horrors on Netflix) I noticed something that bugged me. It wasn't the actors being WAY too old or the other stuff mentioned in reviews. I noticed that every time the video recorded by her 'friend' each time it was played was different to what was recorded first time. I'm a bit of a continuity freak and usually it's laughable but this just added to the overall shoddy feel of the movie, that's before you consider all the other plot holes etc. Just wondering if it's just me that noticed this little goof.

Would only recommend if you're a teenager or out of options and want a thriller and not a good one at that.

Everyone in this movie is so stereotyped, the characters are forgettable. There was one second of the fluffiest cat I have ever seen. It was the best thing in the movie.

Sarah's whole character was laughable. Not the actress. The actress did great with what she had. However, it was like no one has ever met a female in their lives. The males were written by someone who hated jocks in high school. All the characters have no soul and you just instantly regret watching it. The writing is so bad "Dunk the junk" was mention in a real conversation in there...three times.

Two star. Would give it zero if it wasn't for creative concept and, of course, Hannah the cat. Best two seconds in the whole movie. Would pet IRL.
