Despair

What's not to dislike?! This was one of those rare movies I stopped halfway through. Just a slow, plodding film that I'm sure will have some shocking ending, but I wasn't about to torture myself getting there. Despair is the perfect word to describe this "arty" film. No thanks!

In all honesty, this film moves very slowly. There is talent in the writing and cinematography, but the acting is very bad with the exception of Margaret who plays the old lady. I think a lot more could have come from this film with much better actors.

What I absolutely loved was the soundtrack! I was surprised to find out that this movie was written by a contemporary composer named Antonio Grandanti. Dark and evil orchestrated beautifully with moments of sadness and beauty. Minimalist instrumentation, brilliant harmonies.

The music was the main reason why I kept watching through to the end of the film. I looked online hoping to find the soundtrack to purchase but no luck. :(

Genius. Bravo, Antonio. I hope to hear more music from you!

Despair is a UK made film that bored me to near tears. I could have cried from the boredom and I could have cried from wasting a couple of hours of my life on this atrocity. It's stupidly predictable and honestly very little even happens. What bothers me further is that 10/10 ratings make up 77.4% of this films ratings and that screams shilling. I get that you want to make your film credible but ironically doing something like that has the opposite effect. Boring movie that had me yawning within the first 10 minutes. Avoid like an angry flaming rabid raccoon.

This film started out interestingly enough, with a family in a cabin in an isolated area beset by a winter storm. In the beginning, there is a couple and a bright little girl. The girl's mother comes to pick her up, leaving the couple on their own. They seem like a very loving couple. Shortly after the girl leaves, the couple come across a woman outside their home, half- frozen in the snow. They bring her in and revive her, but with their car on the blink and also their phone. they cannot summon medical aid for her. With no means of transportation, they must keep her as their guest, until better weather arrives. The interloper, begins displaying unusual behaviour, which over time becomes more and more concerning. The movie is well-acted, and shot, slow ,but with enough tension to hold one's attention. The music is very well done. In the end, it turns into a depressing nightmare, which I found difficult to bear.

Awful. Bad acting. Boring. Slow.

It's really a waste of time.

Who's the producer who accept to pay for this horrible movie it's a mistery.

A total disaster .
