Spaghetti

The pacing of Spaghetti is nearly perfect, with a slow burn that gradually builds tension and suspense before erupting into a nightmarish climax. The film doesn't rely solely on jump scares but instead focuses on psychological horror, leaving you with a lingering sense of unease long after the credits roll.

However, Spaghetti is not without its flaws. Some viewers may find the plot predictable, as the genre conventions are well-trodden ground. Additionally, the film's climax may be considered by some as overly gruesome, potentially pushing the boundaries of good taste.

In conclusion, Spaghetti is a horror film that stands out in a genre often saturated with clichés. It takes a simple concept and elevates it to terrifying heights, with strong performances, effective atmosphere, and stomach-churning practical effects. If you have a strong stomach and a taste for horror that lingers long after the lights come up, Spaghetti is a must-see. Just be prepared to think twice about ordering Italian food afterward.

Right, well I will be the first to admit that I had never heard about this 2023 movie from director Adam Gierasch, and yeah I definitely found the movie's title to be stupid and corny. But at the same time, the title was actually sufficiently silly to make me pick up the movie, so it worked, didn't it?

And with "Spaghetti" being a horror movie that I hadn't heard about, much less actually watched, of course I opted to sit down and see what writers Dempsey Gibson, Markice Moore and Jason Rainwater had to offer. Now, the movie was labeled as a horror movie, but it certainly wasn't a horror movie, it was a thriller at best.

The storyline in "Spaghetti" turned out to be a surprise actually. I wasn't expecting the movie to be entertaining, much less actually catering to my interest in movies, but the writers managed to make the script interesting. Sure, there were some aspects to the movie that felt out of place with the overall presentation of the movie, but it panned out nicely enough anyway. I was genuinely surprised with the script and storyline here, so thumbs up to the writers for that accomplishment.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Spaghetti". However, I will say that the acting performances in the movie were actually better than I had expected for a movie titled "Spaghetti", for better or worse. I was especially impressed with the performance of Donna Glytch (playing Toni), despite her not having a leading role.

I am not overly keen on movies of this caliber, and rarely sit down to watch them. There are far less entertaining movies out there of the same caliber as "Spaghetti", which actually made director Adam Gierasch's movie somewhat of a refreshing gust of wind. And I have to say that the movie was definitely surprised me.

I was perusing the reviews for "Spaghetti" and found it suspiciously odd that out of the twelve reviews that the movie had received, at the time of me writing this review, then eleven of them had rated the movie a nine or ten out of ten stars rating. Sure, that wasn't dubious and questionable at all.

Visually then "Spaghetti" was actually good. It wasn't a movie that made use of an overwhelming amount of special effects, but whatever effects and props were used actually served the movie quite well, and that added to the overall impression of the movie. And there were some pretty interesting visuals throughout the course of the 81 minutes that the movie ran for.

My rating of director Adam Gierasch's 2023 horror movie "Spaghetti" lands on a six out of ten stars, which surprises even myself.

Awful movie everything about this movie from start to finish is horrendous, ignore the paid for 10 star reviews, this is actually my fifth review of the movie I think, IMDB keeps removing it I don't know why when I'm just giving my opinion of the movie i have also seen other reviews come and go that have given negative reviews so I'm assuming the marketing team behind the movie are also paying of IMDB the remove the negative reviews. No doubt this one will disappear after a few days anyone who reads it come back and see for yourself after a couple of days. Anyway give the movie a miss it has nothing going for it, when I first watched it hadn't been out long and had a rating of over 9 because of the fake reviews and well I was massively misled. The only good thing about the movie is the cool opening credits other then that is a massive pile of garbage.

"Spaghetti," the latest offering from visionary filmmaker Adam, is nothing short of a cinematic banquet that tantalizes the senses and leaves an indelible mark on the palate of film enthusiasts. This delectable masterpiece transcends traditional storytelling, inviting audiences into a world where every frame is a stroke of artistry, and every scene is a flavorful revelation.

From the opening credits, Adam's directorial prowess is evident, setting the stage for a narrative that unfolds with elegance and precision. The film seamlessly blends genres, offering a perfect concoction of drama, comedy, and moments of sheer cinematic poetry. The result is a viewing experience that is as unpredictable as it is captivating.

The cinematography is a visual feast, with each shot meticulously composed like a culinary masterpiece. From sweeping landscapes to intimate character close-ups, every frame feels like a carefully crafted dish, serving up a visual banquet that mirrors the complexity and richness of the narrative. The use of color and light is particularly noteworthy, creating a sumptuous ambiance that enhances the emotional resonance of each scene.

Adam's screenplay is a flavorful mix of wit, charm, and profound insight. The characters are crafted with depth and nuance, making them not just players in a story but individuals with whom the audience can empathize and connect. The dialogue is sharp and memorable, peppered with moments of humor and wisdom that linger long after the credits roll.

Spaghetti has near-perfect pace, with a slow burn that steadily develops tension and suspense before exploding into a horrific finale. The film concentrates on psychological horror rather than jump scares, leaving you with a lasting sensation of discomfort long after the credits have rolled.

Spaghetti, on the other hand, is not without problems. Because genre tropes are well-trodden territory, some viewers may find the story predictable. Furthermore, some may find the film's finale to be unnecessarily gory, perhaps stretching the bounds of good taste.

Finally, Spaghetti is a horror picture that stands out in a genre that is generally rife with clichés. It takes a simple notion and pushes it to horrifying new heights, thanks to superb performances, an effective atmosphere, and stomach-churning action.
