Spontaneous

So I'm a big fan of horror/disaster movies and I always get a kick out of the deaths/mayhem. This was the first movie I've ever seen where I was genuinely wishing for the mayhem to stop. And not because it was gratuitous or got tired, but because something about this movie felt very authentic and relatable. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time praying for the next death not to come because these kids felt real and I didn't want their story to end. Although the premise is obviously ridiculous, the characters in the movie take it seriously which is such a breath of fresh air from all the movies that know they are movies and make the dialogue consist of nothing more than snappy repartee and quotable sound bites even in the face of despair. Which is not to say there isn't any witty dialogue, in fact it has some of my favorite lines I've heard in movies, but they all feel well placed and authentic. These characters just feel genuine and so you as the viewer can't help but sympathize with them and feel the same sense of dread over their potential demise.

Overall, this is a very unique movie that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

It had me in horror. It had me laughing out loud. It had me crying softly. It had me in awe. I felt for the main charaters. And that's what I want from a movie. I loved it. I can't compare it to any other movie. And that's good in my opinion. Go watch and enjoy.

And if you think this is the worst movie of the year, or your life, you should probably watch more movies.

Although its a little campy and cringy at times, its an overall very entertaining film with a good message. Tries to be too clever at times but is 100% worth the watch. Don't believe the haters and go in expecting a fun movie not Shawshank redemption and you will enjoy it!

When students in their school begin exploding, seniors Mara and Dylan struggle to survive in a world where each moment may be their last. Spontaneous boasts of great performances, especially from the two main characters ( Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer). The movie is mostly gripping, funny and full of tension, with some unpredictable moments. The film is well directed and has a great message at the end. It's a fun and surprising ride to join.

Rating: 7,8.

I liked it. A welcome tongue in cheek high school comedy-ish (a black comedy, moreso) about seniors Mara and Dylan, who finally begin to date after their classmates randomly begin to explode. It sounds like a horror feature, but it's really not. It's more like a nod to the old hippie song "Live for Today," because the kids aren't promised a tomorrow, so why not do what you want today? I say kids, but the rest of the senior class is mere window dressing; our story is firmly about our featured couple, luckily played with great fervor by Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer. We're not looking at great depth, but it's a sweet romance, mildly thought provoking, and nakedly honest look at young adult awakening, and life is general. We could all remember to enjoy more of today, and worry less about tomorrow. Recommended.
