Underrated drama/horror/comedy

Motivational Growth is a underrated movie. If you are a fan of Jeffrey Combs from Re-Animator and The Frighteners you will appreciate this movie for sure.

Motivational Growth is like a mix of Basket Case, Videodrome and some bisarr comedy. You really care for the relation between Ian and the Mold. The movie is psychological, but not in a disturbing way. It had a Kafkaesque feeling. I recommend it for fans of Jeffrey Combs and/or weird movies.

7/10

Little Shop of Horrors and Monty Python's Love Child

What can I say about Motivational Growth, it is mind trip of a movie that could be the 80's love child of Little Shop of Horrors and Monty Python! And I mean that as a high compliment.

I can't say enough good things about the set design, wardrobe, cinematography and all around production values! Though the entire movie takes place in a single apartment for the most part, it was all extremely well done and isn't just your basic apartment movie. If this wasn't a set built on a soundstage then they did some serious set design to the apartment itself. If that's the case, good luck getting your deposit back!

If you're in the mood for a random, out there mind trip of a film, then I highly recommend Motivational Growth. Well done Don Thacker and the entire cast and crew!

Gives A New Meaning to the words, "I've Got a Mold Problem

SUPERB!

Written and directed by Don Thacker, Thacker delivers Indie film at its finest. Motivational Growth is just pure enjoyment to watch. Sure Thacker leaves us with many questions, but The Mold smoothed it all over. Enjoy the showman, enjoy the show. Speaking of The Mold (voiced by the illustrious Jeffery Combs), he does not steal the film; Adrian DiGiovanni (Ian Folivor), our protagonist, our narrator does. Our narrator has to captivate, and Adrian's Ian does. He draws you in before he even speaks with his blank disheveled appearance. When he does speak you are wholly invested in Ian Folivor and his journey. This is all thanks to the amazing camera work the camera team does. Every shot, scene and twist ,that journeys us into Ian's mind-mucking fun that becomes Ian's horror mold-infested world.

A Unique Head Trip of a Horror Film!

This movie is nuts. Uniquely weird, there are homages galore, with nods to Re-Animator, Basket Case, Donnie Darko, and even Videodrome. The story is told in a non-linear way, more of a fevered dream rather than traditional three-act structure, which will appeal to viewers who like a movie that requires more attention. The practical EFX are well done and gross, and the 16-bit computer graphics on the tele show the ever-warping mind of a slacker shut-in. The acting is also a high point. Quite a courageous lead actor, for sure. Very interested to discover if the author of this film had any mind-altering help when writing! Fans of the genre will really appreciate this film.
