Slapface

I was leaning towards a 6 originally because I thought it was slightly above average, but unfortunately the ending was quite unfulfilling. Nevertheless I found this film generally entertaining with a few iffy choices.

The acting all around was fine. Everyone did their job and no one was negatively distracting. The only person who positively stood out was the little boy. I thought he did a great job.

Story was fine I suppose, nothing wildly original. Maybe I'm stupid, but the connection between the slap face and the monster made no sense to me, it was barley explained to begin with and is also generally just a bad title lol.

Also I found the relationship written between the older brother and the girl wildly poorly written. They had just met, then she basically lives there and then they fight like a seasoned couple. It was very confusing and weird and took me out of the story. There were a few intricacies and inconsistencies like that, that gave this an amateurish feel.

Another thing that took me out of the story was the monster. It literally looked like someone bought a mask of the witch from Snow White from party city and threw some dirt on it. It looked silly and was hard to take seriously, which was unfortunate.

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did because it did have some cool creep factor, however it was not boring or a waste of time. I would recommend... but not vehemently.

Ambiguous, it lacks something but, overall, a positive experience.

I like the atmosphere created, I like thar it tries to encapuslate so many necessary themes - grief, isolation, sadness, memories, bullying, relationships, family - and I like that is a very dark film unafraid to shock and do the most unexpected things.

Even if I like some grey areas, I think Slapface exaggerates a bit on that, being a bit frustrating at times. This - and the fact that the horror moments aren't really terrifying- doesn't let the film be much more than it is, but it's a strong and meaningful piece of art.

The movie seems very interesting at start but then the story starts to become boring..some artists seems poor in acting..it had potential and could be a uch better movie.

The plot was going good until the police station catastrophe. It is easy to see that there was no way that boy could have done that kind of damage. The director/writer should have at least revealed the "why or who" .Like the movie "Hitcher". Where the main character portrays separately.

The actors weren't all that great. The storyline was very sloppy. The "witch" wasn't an IT factor. It was just not a solid film..very sloppy from the jump. Found tiktok more entertaining than the beginning of this film.
