Ramekin

Was this written by a 5th grader? The writing is certainly worse than most student films I've seen, the acting is too. The dialog is stiff, and everybody appears to be reading off of cue cards. There's no cinematography in evidence... this is like a bunch of kids made a movie. And not talented kids. I have no idea what this is doing on Amazon.

I came to a realization during the awkward and cringeworthy parts that it worked in making me feel that way. The dull acting and weird plot isn't meant to be taken seriously as some said, I think they are bad actors and thus it was born that it's suppose to be that way. A bit in the uncanny valley (so to say) the song it keeps playing is pretty nice and I'd recommend this movie for rainy days and if you're in the mood to experience something out of the norm. Just watch it as you are watching through the eyes of a child and just go with the flow and it won't be that bad of a ride.

Ramekin is a quirky, creepy slow burn of a horror film. What is art supposed to mean? It means whatever you want it to mean. At least, that's what the main character Emily says in the film.

Ramekin has a unique premise and I don't want to give too much of this short 70 minute film away. Emily, a college student, is living with a terrible roommate when her grandmother passes away, leaving her apartment to Emily. And everything in it, including one very mysterious little ramekin. This low-budget horror rests on the shoulders of its main actress, whose wide eyes and disturbing grin make her oddly mesmerizing. She spends much of the film with the eponymous ramekin as she slowly edges to a solitary madness. Or is it possession? Or is something else entirely? Watch it and judge for yourself.

I was glad to know no ramekins were harmed during the making of this film. 7.5/10 stars

Ramekin is supposed to be a quirky, strange, off-putting, weirdly made film. Many reviewers have stated the movie is "not scary" and I'm thinking "Uh...are they expecting Halloween here? Friday the 13th? Nightmare on Elm Street?" It's a movie about a ceramic dish terrorizing a woman! You guys have obviously never seen camp horror before. Ten stars. Cody is a genius.

Ramekin is a film that amateur filmmakers will find themselves blown away by. For the cinematic artist who realizes their limitations and wants to transcend them through truly original content, the genius will be immediately apparent. This is a collection of very interesting story concepts that are told through straightforward film techniques which anyone could replicate, but few would have the imagination to make this compelling for 70 minutes. If you don't understand how and why this film is a major accomplishment, you should stfu, write a script and pick up a camera yourself. I guarantee you cannot make something this amazing with so little.
