Incredible Violence

This is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen... The stupidity is only outdone by the comically cliche over done story lines and bad acting.

The only thing incredible about this film is that someone paid to produce this rubbish.

They tried to add a few twists & turns but the acting is so bad & the plot is so boring, that even if a random glow in the dark unicorn popped up tap-dancing in the film, you wouldn't care enough to look up from your phone on which you are watching a video of paint drying.

Am I the only one tired of being preached at in my movies? This is yet another example of filmmakers thinking they're smarter than the people who they're suppose to be making the movie for.

White knighting around and saying the women are treated like garbage in movies is boring. Men are treated bad on movies too, but you don't see anyone making movies about that, do you? Instead, I when I'm sitting down to get my mind off stuff, I get another reminder that men are evil, women are perfect. I'm tired of it.

The acting is terrible, it's trying so hard to be deep, has nothing to say, the music sounds like its placeholder stuff. They probably found it for free on the internet and then to top it off it looks like it was shot on a phone. Find something else to watch, like a black screen and you'll have more fun. NO THANKS!

It's not fair to describe this as a bad film, but the supposedly meta nature of this film just did not work - I just didn't get it. I like a film with some ambiguity but here there are character and story arcs that just make no sense. The idea of a filmmaker under extreme pressure to make a film is not new, but you can see that writer/director is trying something different. The result though seems to be wholly dependant on a very specific set of circumstances, which could easily be undone at any point by a more obvious choice. Still maybe worth a view if you like something a bit more out there, but not for me.

Condon has created a truly inventive story, taking common tropes from killer thrillers and exploitation cinema and putting a fresh spin on the standards. There is the classic psycho killer persona and a nice collection of young women. The story brings in elements of serial psychology and aspects of POV/CCTV that really grabs onto the whole guerilla filmmaking ideology. All blended in a storied span of comfortable and captivating cinematography.

"Incredible Violence" gets meta with all it's layered psychotica. At first I didn't think I would like the film. I expected it to fall apart and become a hot mess. Don't make that mistake when you set out to watch this movie. Condon does great at keeping the structure and continuity flowing. The acting varies from decent to great from scene to scene depending on the cast. Mostly I just became swept up in the story. That being said, there are a few moments that actions and dialog becomes clunky and muddled, but things rebound quickly.

The horror and violence is full frontal for most of the film's edgy, thriller scenes. It is brutal, exploitative and celebratory. However the cruelty and coldness has purpose. It isn't just for the sake of showing some blood stained flesh. It is shown in contrast to the antagonist's motivation. We are watching a movie of a movie in the making. One in which budget concerns and ingenuity are always an issue. Even flaws are arguably intentional, artistic elements. And superficially the kill sequences look good and at times intense.

Overall I enjoyed "Incredible Violence". It is creative and entertaining. The story is complex and complete. I found the characters to be fully developed, relatable characters instead of explotational fluff. The quality of the cinematography is nicely done considering the low-budget nature. The horror elements have purpose and maintain a gritty, affective quality. There are a few flaws but for the most part this is a indie horror worth checking out.
