The Screaming Silent

Terrible acting with a ridiculous story.

The only good thing about the film was the scenery.

Other than that, I really wouldn't bother with it.

Wow this must be the first Aussie movie i have had to give a bad review for. This movie is just another shakey bore-cam where nothing much happens until about 10 minutes from the end and even then its all just puerile nonsense.

The story or plot what there is of it holds zero interest, the acting is terrible but it does have some merits in the sound effects/music and some decent scenery as do most Aussie movies but that is about it!

I was just going to delete it after i read the first few reviews and wish I had now - I have just wasted an hour and a half just so that you do not waste yours!

Hello all in movie watcher land once again, here we go with another review explaining why a movie that had some potential possibly was ruined by one, sad, pathetic, weak link.

So brief touch on the plot, the lead guy, "Kurt" has this family history arc that's pretty scandalous and he thinks it's interesting enough to be a movie. So he turns it into a screenplay and drops out of college and uses what's left of his college tuition money and whatnot to venture out to make his Opus. Did I mention he did all this for a girl? An actress that he met once at a party, got creepily, stalkery, infatuated with and attached to and he admits multiple times, even to her face! That he did this all for her.

Oh, did I mention she's an Aussie and he's flown half way around the world to track her down in Australia and get her to do his movie as it's lead opposite of him? Yeah there's that too.

Seriously folks, this guy acts, does, and says the most annoying and creepiest things throughout the course of this movie and I'm only 25 mins into it! THAT'S how much this chump has ruined this movie and annoyed me in it! 25 mins and he's just completely ruined and turned into a big smelly pile of 💩.

On top of that, the way he looks, talks, and his voice sounds makes you just wanna reach through the TV and just punch his face to pulp. Once you realize you can't go that you almost pick your boot up to chunk that at your TV and him on it.

This guy, yeah I don't even care enough to learn his actual name, he's "Kurt" in the movie, needs to never be in another movie...EVER! Even his body is weird and creepy. He has this hunch in his upper back already and the guys like in his 20's! And his arms are like eerily long and skinny so add that the hunch back and creepy face that you just wanna immediately punch upon laying eyes on it then listen to him talk and you've got a recipe for disaster and a movie with a little potential completely ruined.

Just skip this one folks, do yourself and your ears, and your eyes a favor and skip it. Until next time...ciao.

So, the movie could have been like 38 minutes shorter. The first 38 minutes were about the main male character trying to persuade a girl to star in his movie. The plot is bad. I mean really bad. The main male character acts like a total d*che so, there is no sympathy at all for him. I wished he died from the first 10 minutes. Don't waste almost 2hrs from your life to watch this mess of a film

I wanted to raise the score a bit due to the really good fx, which don't look like cgi, and the little homages to better films, except for the one at the end which is just cringeworthy, but that's the entire problem with this movie, you can admire some aspects at the same time you are grimacing at others. Too much time wasted on setup, rushed editing, illogical character arcs and actions and far too many unanswered questions and opportunities ruins what could have been a good story, but I did watch to the end and yes, I agree, the horror, the horror, at wasted potential.
