I dont get all the negatives about the cast the chef was excellent, the grandfather was excellent, the rest were passable not great but did the job. The grandfather and the chef were suppose to shine and they did. Creative story actually I liked it the editing took out important parts of the plot but I pieced it together enough for a solid 6. Would have easily been an 8 but the loud overbearing soundtrack hurt this film. Also i liked the spooky mansion.

Before I get started, this is not a movie everyone is going to enjoy. It applies to specific tastes. I will recommend you watch with the dialog sound setting if you have it as the music is excessively loud. As for the story, I found it refreshing and fun ending on a happy note with a double twist. It is a slow burn and is very demented in a few scenes. I am not a slow burn aficionado, but I actually had fun. It should be noted there are two main characters (August and the Chef) and a third (Chance) who is kind of a companion character. I think it was more the fact it was a different twist on the usual and the little things that added up.

Broil had been marinating in my watchlist for months. I finally decided to give it a try. Bad choice.. I'm surprised I actually finished this film. It was boring and unentertaining. Jonathan Lipnicki held is own, but the rest of the cast was pretty stale. Nothing really happens throughout the film. Just a bunch of corky dialogue and strange music. Nothing I'd recommend. 4 stars

I had the impression an OK movie was taking place in the background but I couldn't follow the dialogue or story because of the loud and intrusive noise of the music, I finally gave up about 20 minutes before the end.

I've heard of planted good reviews but this is my first encounter of such, don't believe them. The music was way too loud throughout the movie. Really bad acting, except maybe grandpa. Horrible editing. I watched it till the end and regret it. I wish I could have heard what they were saying I would have understood the ending more, but the music was so frickin loud.

There are so many movies released that fall under the genre of horror, there really needs to be a unique angle for it to stand out. This has its moments, a sinister hint, a mother who isn't quite what she at first seems and a dysfunctional family. It genuinely had promise in the early stages. Although the jumping from scenes and music was a little jittery, I was definitely intrigued. AS the movie progressed and a slasher element was introduced, the movie lost its eeriness and intrigue for me. Some of the acting was suspect but a shout out to Avery Konrad who had a natural innocence as Chance Sinclair and particularly toJonathan Lipnicki as the chef, played in an almost autistic way, he was spot on. Almost futuristic at times, this was artfully shot and the music over the end credits was well researched. I just never felt this reached its full potential. Touches of the Adams family and Snow White in a loose kind of way, it has a place, just not at the front of the queue.

My favourite line - "Oh my God, please kill me before you finish that sentence."

Shocking movie, makes no sense... awful.. acting bad, effects bad,

This movie starts a bit slow and you have no clue what direction it takes. Once you get into it, it will keep you watching. The writer clearly has been influenced by some other movies within the mystery and horror genre, The Man from Earth has been mentioned, I'd like to add 'He Never Died' as well.

The well thought through story is what makes this movie stand out above the, mostly cliché vampire horror flicks of the last decade or so. You do need to stay focused to make sense of the whole story: the origins, history and grand picture. Together with the actors giving it the right feel, it gets a 6,5 rating, despite the sound track being somewhat poor and badly channeled (I had to use the 'normalize' feature of my sound system). Blood and gore/hack and slash isn't overdone, and that works quite well here (just wait for the surprise).

Cast is certainly interesting, and well fitted for this movie. Grandpa August was excellent. There was some very decent SFX. The flashback editing part could have been a tad smoother. For a low-budget production, this is was well balanced.

I can certainly recommend this, but watch it with subtitles if you can.

The movie is alright, didn't enjoy the out of order scenes, you didn't need them that way to enjoy the movie, just made it more tedious.

The family drama and back and forth backstabbing was interesting. Could have gotten more elaborated but eh.

Now, the unforgiving aspect of the movie is the LOUD music. I watched this to chill with a migraine, and just made it worse. If you lower the sound to not be murdered by the loud music you won't hear the characters at all, you barely even hear some sentences. Why the loud music seriously? It's so annoying and ruins your scenes.

Don't know why IMDb rating is so low nor why are people leaving negative reviews. It was a different concept with non-linear storyline but it wasn't hard to keep up with at all. I guess most people want simplicity.

Character arcs are great. Cast is great. Plot twists are unexpected. The entire film is very different from usual horror films of this sub-genre.

It's atmospheric and cinematography is good. There is adjusting period to non linear plot but you catch up very quickly after the first 20-25mins.

Kills are gory and satisfying, ending is pure emotion.

7.5/10, would watch again.

Then watch this again. The plot is terrible I still don't know what I just watched. Besides some good actors agreeing to act in this trashy movie is beyond me.

Had this movie backlogged for a while now, I decided to give it a try. I didn't expect it to be about vampires, which I love with my entire self. Don't listen to the bad reviews saying the sound is loud because thats literally the point of movies like these. The music takes you perfectly throughout the entire film. Expect it to be 50% like Twilight, 50% Dracula.

It's not every day I stumble across a movie with no stars, no rating. I expected another failed attempt at a college film-school project. I have rarely been so delighted to have my expectations destroyed.

This movie slightly reminded me of the Twilight series, with a bit of Hannibal Lecter mixed in. The overall effect was good, with much less of a teen-aged love-story flavor. Some of the themes and plot elements are definitely more in line with a more serious "horror" genre than that other, lighter material.

Beautiful actors, acting, music, settings, and a thought-provoking story line. It's a little bit hard to follow all of the details at some points, but they do all seem to mean something, and they are not so many that you can't mostly keep up. Actually, I would watch this a second time, to finish examining some of the frayed edges. I suspect it would only lead me to a deeper appreciation of the quality of the fabric.

A different twist on familiar themes of angels, devils, and vampires was original enough to be interesting - and avoided beating those subjects even further into the ground.

Perhaps, after a second viewing, I would revise my rating of 7 stars upwards to 8 stars. I'll see if I get back to it again sometime in the future. I have a feeling that I will. This one "stays with you" for a little while.

This one feels like The Man from Earth (2007) only less captivating and genuinely, delivers very little. I get what they wanted to do with it, but it had little hopes to start with because a movie like this should rely a bit on some practical effects if not special ones, something that could be present at its climax thus the viewer would get a better grasp of the family. After listening to them talking for the entirety of the movie I would expect to be handed some insights as well, like their appearances and other traits, yet we get close to nothing on that also.

So all in all, there is little to say about Broil as it is mostly a long conversation between the characters, with some different scenes every now and then, and that's it. One of the simpler movie I've recently seen, clearly not a horror but more of a drama really. Watch if but expect nothing of it and I still think you might get ripped off.

Cheers!

The film isn't just downright awful but it could use work.

The music is where they should start. It is overpowering and takes away from what is happening on screen. The acting was ok but with the music being so loud, making dialogue an afterthought, the way the characters interact seems off because you can't get a good feel for the dynamic taking place between them.

The story isn't bad but the execution is odd. There is an attempt to make everything come full circle but parts are so vague that it leaves you with a lot of questions and wondering if you may have missed something.

I may take another stab at watching it but after this first viewing, it isn't a film that I am overly impressed with. Most of it's credit is found in some of the acting, the underlying story and it being well filmed.

This movie is all over the place, and the music was incredibly bad and loud!!! I had to keep rewinding it, to try and make out some of what the characters were saying. Still I couldn't hear what they were saying at times.

I ended up falling asleep almost halfway through it, and left my boyfriend awake struggling to hang in there and give it a chance.

I later woke up almost at the end of the movie, only to now find my guy fast asleep next to me. LOL! So, I pressed rewind back to where I left off on it, b4 I fell asleep. I wanted try watching it again while I was well rested...just to be fair on my overall take on the movie. I struggled my way through, until I finished it. Whew!!!

I liked mostly all of the characters...Especially grandad "August", his daughter "June", and "Chef".

It's a rainy night here, so I don't feel my time was a total waste watching it. It's definitely NOT the worst horror film I've seen. Just give it a chance, and see for yourself. You may really like it. Good luck!

Cheers🥂

Truly awful film, bad acting and the sound effects they through the whole film made my ears bleed. Do not waste your life watching this because you will regret it. Absolutely poor.

The sound is terrible.

Otherwise, the movie is solid.

The acts are very well executed.

It could be considered a slow burn, except I have seen and read plays. And this film is successfully crafted that way.

This movie definitely beat my expectations. Thought I'd keep it in the background but then couldn't stop watching it. Kept my interest the whole time, sound design was really well done. Director really understands this genre and how to keep the audience engaged. Great choices in casting as well.

Whilst I did at points get a little lost, the conclusion is actually worth the wait. Good cast, and and a lovely twist at the end.

Story is more interesting and complex than expected but doesn't quiet come together so smoothly. The grandfather and chef were clearly best performers.

And as everyone else has noted, the music is too loud.
