Flipped

I didn't expect this movie to really be so introspective. It was a pleasant surprise. I kind of expected a mini thriller/horror flick and this wasn't that. It has its aspects of thriller but really makes you think about who you date and the reasons you are dating them.

Not sure how the actors got through it really hanging by a harness the entire time upside down. Was really well thought out and something I would watch again just for the story.

Great for an independent film. I had gone in to it not hoping for too much knowing this was a low budget shoot, but it ended up being better than a lot of other movies I have seen lately.

The biggest surprise for me is exactly how well it was directed. You can have a great story with great actors that can punch out lines, but I felt the director in this movie did a really good job. I am not familiar with Harris Demel but I will keep him in mind next time I see his name pop up.

Flipped is an extraordinary film. Imagine a movie where one actress is in nearly every scene...by herself! Yet, if you are patient, the movie is well done and worth your time.

When the film begins, a professional model and her boyfriend have just had a horrible accident in her car and they're stuck in a huge ditch in the middle of no where...and well off the highway. You have no idea how this happened but you can tell the woman is in dire need of help. She is upside down and wedged into her seat and cannot get out of the car. As for the boyfriend, he appears dead or nearly dead and cannot give her any help. Things only get worse when she awakens, as she finds that her cell phone is broken and won't dial correctly...and several buttons don't work. She cannot dial the 911 number for the police and instead tries dialing using the working numbers. So, she randomly dials....hoping to find someone who is willing and able to help. One person is willing to listen and seems ready to help. However, through the course of the film, he becomes increasingly hostile and nasty. In fact, he later seems threatening and malevolent. Will help arrive before this strange, disembodied voice at the other end of the phone line arrives to do God knows what?!

As I watched this film, several things struck me. First, the film is amazingly claustrophobic and odd, as almost the entire movie has this poor actress upside down...carrying the entire film on her own aside from the occasional voice of the weird guy on the phone. It's a strange and experimental sort of film that must have been hellishly difficult and I give Stella Maeve kudos for being willing and able to act in such a difficult situation. Likewise, filmmaker Harris Demel was able to do something amazing...to keep the film interesting even though most every shot is of the main character stuck upside down in her wrecked car! The problem, however, is that some folks might not want to see a strange film like this...so it might be a bit of a hard sell. Second, there seem to be several inconsistencies through the movie and I thought they might be plot holes. Well, by the very end of the production, I realized that there were legitimate reasons for all this....so you just need to watch this film without worrying about details that might seem poorly worked out...as it all does make sense by the end. Overall, this movie uses its low budget exceptionally well and is worth seeing...just be patient and you'll be amply rewarded.

Incredible movie. For a movie like this, to get made, is an accomplishment in and of itself. Well made, great acting, suspense thriller which is more than just a horror film. It's a film with a message. Worth the purchase. This film should have seen national release. Ignored by the industry's film festivals. Eye popper. Not for the young of heart but Eye Candy for revelers of the horror genre. Reminds me of a young, fearless M. Night Shyamalan movie! With a blush of Hitchcock. Michael Madsen is, typical, unforgettable. First time director/filmmaker has left a mark on Hollywood with this one. This reviewers fingers are crossed that there will be more movie magic from Harris to come. You've been notified!

A model socialite has a car accident and ends up off the road, isolated and upside down. Stuck in her car and a phone that only a few numbers work. She dials random numbers till she gets through to a person who says they will help. Turns out that this person doesn't want to help and just dissecte her relationship.

It is unique and well acted. A woman stuck upside in a car talking to a mystery person on the phone for a whole film is actually better than it sounds. However the film never really seems to go anywhere. You are constantly waiting for the big pay off but it never really comes. There is a big twist at the end but there are too big a hint to what that twist is, so its not really that big a surprise.

There are some consistences which are explained by the twist at the end. However there are others which is just bad writing. For instance, in these days of mobile phones, no-one rings a popular pretty girl because no-one has heard from her for hours? Her phone is broken and she can't put numbers in, but who ever puts the number of someone you know in their phone? Also I am 90% sure that her boyfriend is a actually a dummy for most of the film. Its only towards the end it is a real person.

Its not a bad film but I think it would have worked better as a short film. You will struggle through but won't want to watch again.

Loved this indie film. Suspenseful thriller, kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

The movie keeps us at the same setting (inside the flipped car) for most of the movie, yet you never get bored with it, as the plot is truly unique, different than anything you've watched before. If you expect your typical cookie cutter thriller, this is not it. It was THRILLING throughout with lots of twists in this super smart script. You won't be able to guess what comes next like most thrillers. The ending is surprising and thought provoking. This is what I'm looking for: quality films. Highly recommended.
