Plush

This film tells the story of a young woman in a rock band with her brother. After her brother died of drug overdose, a guitarist is hired to be a part of the band. Unfortunately, the guitarist turns out to be a freak. The story then concentrates on how she deals with the drastic consequences.

The plot is thrilling and well told. There are some clues to the freaky guitarist in the beginning but they are quite subtle, so the story is not spoilt. Emily Browning gives a good performance as a rock chick, and the guitarist is convincing too. The husband, played by Cam Gigandet, is not so convincing though, but that's a minor problem. I also like the songs too, and I can feel the filmmakers' respect for music because the songs are played in its entirety. I liked "Plush" and enjoyed it.

I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Griping, entertaining, and not as clichéd as you'd expect a stalker movie to be.

Emily Browning was probably a poor choice to play the lead - she doesn't look like a mother-of-two and stepmother to a teenager (she doesn't look a day over 12 herself to be honest). Actually, she can't really pull off the whole rock star look, either. However, her acting more than made up for the less-than-convincing physical appearance; I was impressed.

The rest of the cast were tolerable, but not top notch. Except for the antagonist, who did a pretty good job overall.

I appreciate a movie that isn't boring and predictable, and "Plush" meets my requirements, so I won't hesitate to recommend it.

The story is mediocre, the acting is bad, the amazing thing is that a "star" in the pop can become such writing songs that bad, but well ... in reality would have it, so that part is unacceptable .... is offered as an erotic film, but it is not, if your idea is to see the film to create a good climate for having sex ... you're wrong. If you're picky this film is not for you, if you want to hang out is acceptable. It is possible to see, I give it a 5 .

A thriller about a stalker? That's normally my cup of tea. So I thought I was going to have an enjoyable evening with this movie. But then it started with that more then annoying music. I thought that it was just the intro of the movie and that we would get into the story in a second. But no, after 20 - 30 minutes the bitch was still singing and it's the kind of music where I need a bucket next to my couch. So I was about to give up and turn it off, a thing that I hardly ever do, but then the story was kind of starting bit by bit. The end was much better then the beginning so that's why I gave it a 5 star rating. If it was just for the first half hour then it would get 1 star. The actors were not that bad, it was just that annoying music that bugged me. Worth a watch but that's about it.

A tale of obsession that turns dangerous. I actually quite liked this, then again I wasn't expecting much out of it (hence the cover) but I adore Emily Browning and I knew this role would be a lot different for her. She was terrific! The music was surprisingly catchy (call me a cheese-ball, but it's true), I found myself humming to some of the songs long after watching. It's definitely not boring and pretty much covered everything from romance and music to mystery and thriller with a hard learned lesson on family and marriage. I liked that it felt realistic. The American accents were done well from some of the Australian cast, but not perfect. The acting was above average. The ending was predictable and little cliché, yet necessary. The punk rock vibe was genuine.

Was it scary? Hell no. Creepy? Yes, having a psycho band member stalk you, seduce you, who looks almost identical to your deceased brother is pretty messed up. If you like thrillers with a bit of edge, it's definitely worth a watch.
