Tethered

It's artsy and atmospheric and the actors do a stand-up job, it's even craftily filmed, but about halfway through I realized nothing was really happening, and wondered if it could be condensed into a much shorter version. By the end, my mind hadn't changed and I wondered if it should have just been a short. Then I discovered that the director had, in fact, based it on a 12 minute short, which I am now eager to watch to confirm that this thing would have made an absolutely brilliant short film.

This film reminds me of It Comes at Night (2017), a slow burn that really has no purpose. It starts off semi-promising but feels like it loses its plot as the film progresses. It feels incomplete, playing on loop just to keep you watching for something that appears to exist in your head fueled by seclusion.

I was not impressed with this one personally, but I will say that the cinematography is beautiful. It's dark, depressing, moody, lingering, but lifeless. The ending seems to have one of those what I like to call "suicidal" endings where it disappointingly dies.

I wish the storyline was better.

The movie have nice story and the actors played well ! There is some minor things that you can feel it's a low budget movie , maybe it was produce with higher budget will be fantastic and worth 9/10.

In general I advise to see it!

Its a slow burn that is for sure.

There was a lot that could of been answered or explained to give the movie a bit more coherence but was still very watchable. The main actor did a great job with the little he had.

I feel the pay off at the end did not match up to the length of the film, there was a lot of build up and suspense for a very predictable finale.

I think if you lke this film go and watch the 2020 film Hunter Hunter.

Very similar in pace and setting but with a better ending.

It had everything to score a 9 minimum with its slow buildup to a great unique suspenseful horror flick. Then like a carefully calibrated, almost completed 10 storey deck of cards, the artist just gave a wild swing of hands to bring it all down at the last 10 minutes. No rhyme or reason for the shotgun ending but perhaps it "bears" a hint of being infected by yet another zombie plague. Goodness.
