The Cutting Room

This has to be the most idiotic horror movie out there. It goes absolutely nowhere. A total waste of time! A whole lot of bad camera work with lousy dialogue. Avoid this flick

It's an understanding that most horror films that pop up here, and there nowadays lacking in most needed elements, and that's completely understandable. But when you offer the audience a film of which seems to be given little - to no emphasis what so ever, it becomes frustrating, and even aggravating. This film angers myself, and possibly others that have given this film a chance, as I did.

The acting in this film is an atrocity, something that's extremely hard to put up with. Each - to all actors in this film seem as if they were each collected from the streets, and offered a roll in this movie. It's as if nothing at all was given to execute this movie! As if they had minutes to read they're scripts, leading to trash acting! And to topple that to the ground, there would be no point to begin with, each character is sickly clichéd, and have nothing unique in they're executions at all! Overall, there was absolutely nothing given here! The acting was terrible, and so were the characters, making this entire film hard to stomach.

The idea, and or plot of this movie, as well was terrible. I personally didn't like the way the writers wanted this entire film to play out. From start, to finish this entire film seemed as if it was going absolutely nowhere, and proves itself from the middle, to last portions of this movie. Even when they "tried" to perhaps offer something in this film, they fell flat, and started more trash once again. In conclusion, the plot of this film, tying with the characters was utterly poor, and managed to lead nowhere.

Honestly, I credit most films of what they stand for, but I can't hold back. This movie offered little.. to nothing. I honestly wonder to myself on why I wasted my time, hoping the movie would perhaps turn into something greater - but no. The movie is simply pointless, and frustrating. Please, do not waste your time with this movie. Your better off giving other blind films chances, rather then this. I truly don't want to go any further, or in depth of the atrocious attempts of which this movie displayed, so I'll leave it to the small; tip of the iceberg information above of why this movie should NOT be seen, and or given any chances.

Reading some of the other reviews, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who was literally angered by this crap fest. Even if you like found film-which I do not-this is bottom of the barrel stuff. There is no talent here, just opportunistic scammers masquerading as "filmmakers," armed with a smartphone camera and a bunch of "actors" who just answered the ad.

The beginning of the film starts with a young woman who is apparently being dismembered alive. We assume this because we aren't shown anything. We aren't shown anything of horror at ALL. Just really annoying kids who we WANT to see die just talking. Just talking. For 45 minutes NOTHING HAPPENS. Just walking and talking while apparently an earthquake was occurring because this was not shaky cam. This was way beyond shaky. I truly felt motion sickness trying to watch this. I started fast forwarding because I did not care anymore about the story, the characters, what they were saying-I just wanted to get to the end. And when I did...

It was just kinda over. All we ever got was dark hallways, brief glimpses of a scary figure...and that's it. We were subjected to all that for clickbait. Like I said, these were scammers who showed us just enough to get us to watch so they could make a profit on something a 2yo in a haunted house could do with a camera taped to his forehead. And now I'm angry at myself for getting fooled again.

If you want to see a good film, this is not it. This is a waste of time.

This is a British found footage film and, as such, is similar to the template set out by the phenomenally successful 'Blair Witch Project'.

The three characters take time to like. Raz (Parry Glasspool), the sole male, is a cocky, good looking lad who will say inappropriate things for 'a laugh'; Lucy-Jane Quinlan plays Charlie, who spends most of the first half of the film frowning at Raz's antics, and Lydia Orange plays Jess, possibly the 'nicest' of the trio - while their very patient teacher Mark is played by TJ Herbert. He is openly ridiculed by Raz, particularly for his 'four stripe' trainers - a detail that is worth remembering during the closing shots.

It takes too long to get going, but during that time, I warmed to the three youngsters. Raz is a bit of a twit, no question, but he's often genuinely funny, if foolhardy.

The third act is where the scares finally come along, with the kind of stumbling confusion and terror synonymous with the found footage genre. The descent into dark, isolated tunnels is creepy and unsettling, and the final scene serves us with a good twist.

Right, well I wasn't familiar with the 2015 movie "The Cutting Room" prior to sitting down to watch it. So I wasn't sure what I was in for here, aside from it being a horror movie.

And a horror movie it was. Well, not in the terms of it being a scary or frightening movie. No, not at all. But a horror in the terms of it being a ludicrous 'found garbage' movie and having a really laughable storyline, complete with dubious acting performances and characters that no one cares about.

Yeah, "The Cutting Room" from writer and director Warren Dudley was a terrible mess of a movie. I loathe 'found footage' movies with a vengeance, and had I known that "The Cutting Room" was one such movie, I wouldn't even have given it a second glance.

The storyline told in "The Cutting Room" was just utter rubbish, and I must admit that it didn't take me long before I had my mobile phone out and were doing stuff on the phone and only semi-paying attention to the rubbish on the screen.

Do yourself a favor and give "The Cutting Room" a wide berth, because this movie is not worth the time, effort or money. Seriously? Why waste time on something that is filmed with a handheld camera that is all over the place? The camera work in these 'found garbage' movies is so shoddy that it is just not worth the effort. I mean, my 11 year old son would fare better operating our digital video camera.

My rating of this 2015 'found garbage' movie lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
