Dimples

I agree with some of the comments about this movie. The film is full of clichés and bad acting. At moments the plot and the acting of the actors are so illogical and just ridiculous. Some moments I believe were meant to be very psychological, strong and powerful. Instead they are naive, boring and amateur. The movie bears resemblance to a great horror flicks from the 70's like " The Texas chainsaw massacre" , "Tourist trap" , "Hills have eyes" , etc... Well very obviously this is another unsuccessful attempt to make a scary movie, and today's ran-out-of-ideas horror directors are hoping that the 70's horror movies golden mine can be always used. Sorry guys but it's not working!

The critiques here seem a bit lopsided. I saw this film sometime back at a screening a friend invited me to. I did not know the filmmakers personally, but I liked the film. I heard that they released film was a "different" cut from what I saw so I checked it out again and actually liked this cut better. I thought it was a strong effort the first time especially for a first time feature film director and a very interesting low budget horror film to boot. The acting was not bad, especially for a genre film. Madeline Zima's character, at times, could be a bit drab, but there were reasons for that in the story and she pulled it off. The characters surrounding her were well performed and not over the top as you see quite a bit in horror films. The scares were plenty, but not so many that you know one is around every corner. Now DIMPLES is was not the best film I ever seen by any means, but it was solid low budget fare at the very least. Some parts I felt more explanation was needed,but I did not see the twist coming and the ending (very untypical for horror) left me thinking about it for days. Some of the low grades and harsh comments here seem to have an ax to grind. I alway find it amusing when a film is bashed by someone who only has that one comment in their comment history. Plus when they attack with seathing relentlessness. At least that is what I feel. Now, let me repeat Dimples is not an award winner by any means, but is not a total stinker either. I am a filmmaker myself and I hate to see decent efforts get unfairly trashed...Now if you one a gore fest with no thinking involved, you wont like Dimples. But if you want a bit on the mind, I think you will...Cheers!

I heard about this flick through a friend and grabbed it the other night. Watched it with a friend and he thought it was alright, but I liked it,especially for a low budget horror film. I thought the acting was not spectacular, but I have seen plenty worse. It definitely was not bad. There was some very funny dialogue, some good jump scares, some alright gore (low budget)and a cool/different story. I thought anyway. There is a psychology here that I liked quite a bit. It also was shot well. The twist through me for a loop and I didn't seeing it coming. I think this was a good effort. I recommend it, especially if you don't like to be spoon fed and want something a bit different to watch.

Some comments left by Knatreesha_21 could have been enough to inform you about the overall lack of quality you'd find watching this movie, but this movie was so bad, I felt the need to reiterate just how bad it really was. So, how bad was it? For one, and as mentioned, the acting was absolutely horrible. None of the characters portrayed anyone that would actually exist. The dialogue was boring, senseless and predictable. There was some acting that was actually so bad, it made you laugh; and this wasn't even considered a comedy. From the start of the movie, nothing made sense. 30 minutes into the movie, you are still wondering why nothing relevant has happened and where the story is going. It was as if they were trying to mix American Pie with some cheesy horror flick. You watch, only with hopes that something would be revealed; but by the time the movie ends, you realize that you lost an hour and a half of your precious life that you can't get back. It's a painful feeling, the realization that you actually sat there and watched the entire thing. It actually upset me so much, I went straight to bed; even though I had a few other movies lined up. So, how bad was it? I wasn't even registered on this site until today. I felt the need to register to let everyone know just how bad this movie is. So, how bad was it? It's called Dimples but there is no reference to dimples other than a stupid teenage scene where a boyfriend is doing a video of him and his girlfriend being together. The dialogue goes like this, Boy: "Let's call this video Dimples." Girl: "But I don't have any dimples." Yep, that's it. Nothing more. So, really, how bad was it? Trust me.... you don't want to find out for yourself.

I liked it. I have bias in that I really like Madeline Zima, but it was different from most horror movie cheese fiestas out there now a days. Don't get me wrong, there are some good scares and kills and some parts that are a bit corny, but it had a psychological element i dug. It does give you answers, but leaves some things up for interpretation. I know that makes some people angry these days (as seen on this site) but I like movies like this. The ending left a definite impression on me and got my mind thinking. I felt the acting was overall good, the film was shot well, written solid and had some really funny parts too. I enjoyed all 90 minutes of it and it moved so fast. I think this is a movie you like better when you watch it again, although I only watched it once. recommend this film.
