The Special

I don't know but I liked it. This is such a weird piece of film I've never come across before. Let me warn you though, this is not a "horror movie" for everyone. Actually very few things are scary at all. It' s just an insane setup never seen before. If you like odd low budged indie movies with totally screwed up plots, this is for you. Otherwise, don't stick your nose (or something else) where it doesn't belong.

This definitely should be a 45 minute episode of Tales from the Crypt. Not a movie.

I would not consider this horror. Barely a thriller. Maybe a drama with thriller undertones.

The plot is basic, but the general execution and twists are solid.

In a nutshell: A man is introduced to a whorehouse where he meets a gypsy woman who introduces him to a sexual object that she calls 'The Special'.

This is a low budget movie and it shows. It's like a long episode of one of those classic horror tv-shows. Because of the sexual nature and twisted dual sided ending, it probably wasn't made an episode for one of those series. That leaves movies, so it had to be stretched. It has been written before: The movie could/should have been shorter. Acting really isn't that bad, neither is the script nor screenplay or pace. The overall picture is average but professional, at 3/4 of the movie you start to guess where it is going.

This movie is however a must see because of the twisted plot and how that turns out, and not just for die hard horror fans.

Vintage TV style horror film. Poor audio, poor sets, poor acting, poor dialog. Too bad because it had a whacky premise that could have been somewhat funny.

The quality of the production, set, actors, or even dialogue didn't need to be high to tell this story. The plot was simple and elegant. It was never made to win an Oscar for anything, but what it did win was my attention - which it kept all the way to the gory (and fitting) end.👍
