Ten

Ten is my favorite sort of movie. It's difficult to explain completely without spoiling elements of it, but I'll give it a try.

First, I think it's a movie that is not at all to be taken literally. The story and the characters and the acting aren't meant to be like they are in a standard movie. It's not a movie about figuring out a plot twist. It's also not really a satire movie, though I think a lot of people might interpret some of it that way.

Ten is a sort of allegory about how we go out into the world and put on masks to be whoever we need to be at that moment. It is about how we all have a whole bunch of different faces and identities and how we can shift between them rapidly.

The movie is an experimental one in many ways. A lot of people who watch it might say it's not a scary horror movie, or it's not a good mystery, or the twist was too strange, but they are all really missing the point.

I think if you are an intellectual viewer who also likes classic horror, Hitchcock, noir, and mystery films, you should give the movie a chance because you might get it. And if you get it, it's a really good and unique one. If you don't, well, you should probably go back to watching run of the mill horror or something. This isn't the movie for you. I suspect you'll see a lot of split reviews between people who are watching this to see a "normal" horror movie and people who are looking for something more.

Piggies? Is that a thing? No pun intended - I know the 10 little story with other characters. And they shall remain unnamed. Because they are anything but respectful and they also are hurtful to others. In this case the thing that can be hurtful is the acting I reckon.

There is a lot of nudity here and a fair amount of violence too. Will that be enough to float your boat? To spike your interest and keep it until the end? Keep you interested and all that. You have to have some B-movie love for sure ... and even that may not be enough.

Visually I wouldn't call this a banger or whatever. It is lacking in many other departments too. You can tell this did not have a lot of money (budget wise).

Horrible pig excrement. If you are on death row, and offered to watch one movie before the roast, chances are it will be this one. Just say "Skip It" and face the fry knowing that you have been spared the nastiest torture on Earth. Really. This is bad. Confiscate their movie cameras and burn all their film, don't let them make another 'movie' again. It doesn't deserve to be represented on IMDb IT is garbage, trash... utter pig's swill I have seen horrible stuff, but this thing is beneath contempt Most in the cast fell out of the Ugly Tree and hit every branch going down. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS MOVIE. AVOID IT LIKE PIG FLU.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Avoid stepping in this piggy-do!

With no knowledge of this film yet being intrigued by its plot, had no expectations given the low IMDB rating, and the lack of total votes and reviews. Ten is the sort of horror type film where the directors seemingly have full control over their work and express their creative uses to work.

This film starts off interesting but doesn't exactly fulfill into anything much. Things become predictable and most of the characters aren't interesting. We aren't given any names to these characters, just tag lines/monikers. It was difficult in remembering which person was called what. Most of the characters acted like they were smarter than they really were and spoke like philosophers. Also this film only includes women as it was noticeable. In the end this movie just turns out to be the typical "one person by one dies and uncover who the killer is". The kills by stabs with knives look very amateurish and the blood isn't very authentic looking. Looked more like chocolate than blood. But that's a minor issue. Then the twist isn't anything we haven't seen as it was utterly predictable and quite disappointing.

I love horrors and small budget independent movies in this genre, because I often find decent ones with very original plots. Ten is one of such movies! It is not a standard horror flick, and with elements of thriller and drama, its story is deeper than you'd expect. It explores personalities of ten women, with completely different personalities, in a stressful situation. In a way, their characters are sometimes overacting, so acting is not superb as some reviewers would like, but only because it is not meant to be superb. The viewer should examine the subtext and themes behind the story lines to truly understand and appreciate the movie. I liked it and give it a score of 8/10!
