Impuratus

I noticed this the other day & after watching the trailer in which I didn't realize the detective was Tom Sizemore, I went & read a review & knew it was going to be a good movie. I was right. You have to understand those who usually leave reviews on here. They are young, have been completely dumbed down & can't stand anything that isn't a huge hollywood propaganda production. They like lot's of things going BOOM, lots of blood, gut's & sex, and do not want to have to use their brain which has never been used before. Is this a fast-paced, action-packed, shoot'em-up movie? No, not at all. Is it better than the majority of what hollywood produces today? Definitely. I loved Tom Sizemore. He was one of my favorite actors since I started watching him back in the 90's. This was definitely not his usual role, but he was perfect for it. I even found myself a little spooked out at times, and got the chills a few times. I'm a little confused as to how no one could understand it, or keep up with it, but that just goes to show you exactly what I said about today's society is true. If you don't mind thinking, or don't need a huge mind-numbing hollywood production to enjoy a movie then you'll definitely want to check this out. Especially if you like Sizemore.

The idea was not new, but was decent. Some of the acting was good, most was painful. RIP Tom Sizemore, but darn, he did a terrible job. The story line was so convoluted because it didn't know whether it wanted to be a horror movie, a folk tale, or a drama. This desperately needed a better director to help it choose its genre, and it needed a better editor to cut it way down. I actually fast forwarded through many scenes just so I could get through it. It gets 4 stars because I was actually interested enough to see it through to the end, albeit by skipping a few scenes here and there. If you have nothing else to do one night, you could watch it, but be prepared to be patient and fast forward here and there!

First off, I've liked Tom Sizemore, RIP, in some of his past movies. It seems like toward the end of his life, he was pumping out a lot bad scripted movies. I thought he looked terribly sick right away and his voice was badly broken. It is overly long and I too had to FF through a lot of the historical flashback. The movie to me had the sense of a play more than a movie. Special effects were below average. The ending itched of some sort of sequel, and was another one of those, you guess what it means endings. Seemed really low budget in general. Small cast, small sets. And misdirected. There are better things to watch.

Theres a good story and horror concept in here somewhere. Unfortunately, it is lost in the poor writing, excessive dialogue and excessive scene lengths.

The screenplay is weak. I actually felt like Tom Sizemore was ad libbing his lines, and improvising off the other characters.

I respect Tom Sizemore, but he's just not together in this film. His lines are not clear or appropriate for the situation and he repeats himself.

This film is shot beautifully, but there are too many scenes, and the film could have been edited by 30 minutes.

I watched it over two nights because it took so long to develop.

It would have been a really good 90- minute horror film with less dialogue and quicker pace.

I salute the concept.

I like Tom Sizemore to begin with he's a solid actor and this being his last movie I had to see it regardless of the reviews. I thought it was excellent in many ways, very edgy with plenty of dingy and dark spooky scenes. I was trying to figure out what the hell is going on and where this was going. Did a good job of keeping my attention and kept me guessing.. I think the entity characters look was pretty wicked, kind of reminded me of the movie seven. Remember the guy in bed that looks dead but wakes up. Oh yeah, anybody that rated this low on the scale needs to watch it again without being distracted! Gave Tom an 8 on his way out, be careful this movie could be cursed? 🍿 RMS.
