Sorgoi Prakov

The point of this entire project escapes me. The character of Sorgai I find particularly unlikeable. A man in denial , who makes no sensible decision within the whole narrative.

The 'decent to madness' seems nothing more than a bottle to many, and a wildly poor judgment of choice. Personally I wished for his downfall quickly and the end of this quicker .

The hand / head held camera is 'steady enough in its execution, but you can't help but wish the downfall of this ridiculous character , doomed from first view of a terrible mustache.

Simply a very boring film . I genuinely wished for the end to hurry up, with no real care of the outcome .

I watched this by mistake. I saw the movie art and figured it was a comedy. It kinda is, but it soooooooo is not.

I love me some found footage horror films, and I also am fully aware that more of them suck than do not.

This one most certainly does not IMHO. Honestly, it's a crime that it's not on more people's Top 10 lists.

This film is basically Borat but if Borat was an insane, absolutely unhinged, bloodthirsty, cannibalistic serial killer.

This movie is excellent in terms of mixing both psychological scares with gore. There isn't too much gore, but there's enough of it coupled with the implications of what's going on (but smartly not shown) that make the wild things the main character does absolutely brutal. Homie does some absolutely insane things, stuff you would expect to see in a bottom of the horror movie iceberg offering. But the film doesn't actually show it, it just implies it. There's one scene with a bathroom mirror and a flickering light switch that expertly shows what I mean. It doesn't show everything, but just enough to make you go "WHAT THE HECK DID HE JUST DO"

Having typed all that, it could have cut a good 20 minutes of fat off in the first act. I get that we do need some character progression and exposition, and it works well-you are quickly endeared to this guy-but I felt that it was just 20 minutes or so too much.

But once things get rolling? JESUS F CHRIST

This movie is absolutely insane, and incredibly horrific in the third act.

I really enjoyed this. It really stuck with me after it ended. Had me thinking about how easily a string of really bad luck can change a person for the worse.

NGL, this is probably one of the most wild FF horror films I've seen in YEARS.

8/10.

1. Original. Seriously some original thought went into this one.

2. Dark . Without giving anything away, this one not for the squeamish. Nothing supernatural about it however if you are looking for that.

3. Message in a Bottle. This one will make you think twice about immigration. Haha. Legal or Otherwise.

Give this movie time... about 30 minutes in I couldn't look away. Genius and unsettling and legit one of the most effed movies I've ever seen in this genre. Wow. This will one will stick with you for a while.

If you're into really messed up movies and don't mind low quality, handicam found footage style then this might be 10/10 for you.

If you hate really twisted stuff on screen, agression, brutality or found footage style this might be 1/10 for you.

I respect the length they were willing to go, but for me it was a bit too disturbing and while I respect the art choices to go full mumbling and such at the end - it depicted well the mental state of the lead -, it was less enjoyable as a pure movie experience.

I loved it for a couple reasons but couldn't enjoy it, so gave it a 5/10. It feels less found footage and less horror and more first person documentary for someone with serious mental sickness hitting a rough patch, turning to alcohol and drugs which worsen his condition and goes onto a full episodic agression, rape, torture and killing spree with some gory parts, child torture and probably cannibalism if I decoded correctly.
