The Tent

I had some hopes for this movie, as it was said to be some postapocalyptic setting. Not really sure how that fits in and it is nothing like what you are set in view, when you go to watch this. But I think that quickly becomes apparent.

It was hard to keep any sort of focus, because there is no storyline and the production value couldn't be more barebone if you tried. You are throw into the middle of some dark movie, that almost seem to be pretending to be a horror movie.

There is no background story in any way to get you or keep you hooked to wanting to watch more. The dialogue and acting is just really hard to watch and there is no synergy between the actors. There is no natural flow or expressions, it just seem very choppy.

The ending actually turned out as I figured it would along the way. I can't say anything more without spoilers. But I feel it is not what you are promised when you go to watch this movie. I realise what they might have been trying to do and a know of a famous movie that has done some of the same, but again I can't mention without potential spoilers. In my opinion I feel the movie is labelled wrong and therefore I will subtract one star from my rating, 3 it is.

There is no way actual people are genuinely rating this 10 stars. I watch bad movies on daily basis and this was pretty bad, even for me.

I watched it to the end because I wanted to see where the story went. No where worth my time is the answer. There a appeared to be a competition between the acting and dialogue as to which could be worse, with the camera crew and sound guy participating occasionally. It was extremely disjointed with the last twenty minutes seemingly a completely different film.

The film had moments that were slow for sure. For those parts I'm knocking off a star but...once the last 3rd of the film presents what is going on I was shaken. THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK! Some people may hate that and others will love it, it's just a matter of connecting with the message. Round of applause for the writer and director for ending on such a strong note!

Anyone who states this has a surprise ending is full of crap stupid or connected to this drivel of a movie. the plot, what for lack of a better word is given away after the first 10 looooooong minutes.

The movie started slowly but as most great movies with well thought out story lines i was quickly hooked. This movie bent the genre of horror into something very intriguing and dramatic.

If you like smart thrillers this is a movie for you.
