They Look Like People

While this film has an intriguing premise, the pacing and overall writing is slightly bland. Writers tend to believe that realism, has to be boring. I'm not 100% certain what the overall take of this movie was supposed to be but did enjoy the element of trust, with someone you love, through thick and thin. Thought it was a heartwarming display that love & trust can get you through anything. Found it refreshing that a film like this, didn't end in horror (for once). Definitely worth a watch but this is no Spielberg, IMAX experience. It is a very slow indie film, that I recommend you go in with low expectations, for the best experience. Not the greatest film of the year but Perry Blackshear has talent and a promising career (if he's willing to acknowledge his flaws asa filmmaker). 5.8/10.

In terms of flimmaking, I think this is good. It doesn't rely on special effects or crazy action scenes to keep a viewer watching. There's a sense of suspense in every scene portrayed just through the acting. I think the two main characters worked well together, and reflected off each other is a healthy/unhealthy way.

A good movie doesn't need a big budget or fancy locations. It just needs good acting and a well-written story. I'm not so sure about the story here.

I have to admit I spent a lot of the time watching thinking, "WTF is going on?" That can be good but it was a bit too confusing in this film.

"They look like people" is one of those movies that makes you think rather than cringe. Its like a psychological drama/horror. The scariness of this movie can vary from individual to individual due to how they each interpret and think into it. There is great use of atmospheric sounds in this movie, which i personally love. I love the creeping and building sense of dread this movie offers. It is a little daring of the filmmakers to go for such a craved concept, yet on such a tight and low budget. This movie has no gasping or jaw dropping scenes, and there isn't much blood at all, but it still has great body and still feels very full. I couldn't look away the whole time. This movie has the ability to pull you in and not let up until your feeling less boggled by it. The character development was great. We really get to know them. I kept wanting to see how very creepy situations panned out between main characters. You can almost predict the outcome of this movie, but then you second guess yourself, and this happens multiple times throughout the movie. Overall I thought this was a pretty good movie with good acting and a very eerie vibe. I would rate it 6.5 out of 10 stars.

Wyatt firmly believes the world is about to end as knows it, convinced that alien creatures are taking over people's bodies. Wyatt's paranoia is enhanced by a series of phone calls from a woman. Wyatt desperately tries to keep his mate Christian safe.

First off, please don't expect a horror film, it's listed as a horror, but it isn't there are some horror inspired themes, but at no point does it fit into that bracket, I'd loosely put it into the atmospheric thriller bracket.

I am a fan of it, I've seen it a couple of times, and it seems to improve with every viewing, there's so much to spot, and you'll ask yourself, it Wyatt seeing things as they are, or having some sort of breakdown.

Wyatt and Christian's bromance is fun, and the pair share some amusing scenes, and one very tense, dark moment.

It deserves higher acclaim, it may just be a little too weird for some, but it is honestly worth a look, it's well made and well acted, and the stork is a good one.

8/10.

It's a psychological drama that dips its toe into psychosis that is just about interesting enough to make you stick with it.
