The Sufferers

A great example of independent film making the way it should be done. Although you can easily tell it wasn't made by a big studio with a huge budget, that adds to the feel of the whole story by giving it a gritty atmosphere. The actors put in solid performances on a unpredictable story line. I'm sure one or two of them will be showing up in other films. The beginning dialogue opens a lot of options for plot lines which keeps you from predicting the next turn. That suspense and twists go throughout the film until the ending. In all the site locations, directing, and production made is a very pleasurable movie to watch. I highly recommend it to other viewer of this genre.

Overall a pretty good movie. The plot, visuals and fights were pretty good. I liked the idea for the plot. While not completely new or revolutionary it was not the normal B movie tropes. The lead actors were good, especially the guy who played Mike. While it clearly looks like it wasn't a huge budget film, I thought it was technically sound. Some of the supporting actors weren't as good. The timing was a little slow in the first 15 minutes, but it picked up at the end. There were a couple of scenes that dragged on and didn't seem to help the plot all the much. The dialogue was a little rough at spots. I would say it's worth the watch.

Inconsistent dialogue is what makes this film miss the mark for me. Has the plot line of a hallmark movie, and the best actor was probably the old guy, Walter. Not scary, very predictable, and fighting scenes were lackluster. I'm giving it a 4 because of the editing being fairly cohesive.. I think that's generous.

Overall I thought this was a good movie with a great plot. I thought that the actors did an impressive job. I found that the characters were well developed and interacted well together.

The idea of "sufferers" was well thought out. It made sense.

The use of a trivet as a trigger object was nice and unexpected.

Now for the criticism....Did not like being able to see the "dead" characters breathing heavily.It was VERY noticeable in some scenes.

I would recommend finding a solution for future films.

Otherwise, a good film. Much better than most B grades I watch! (and I watch a LOT of them!)

I would recommend and will watch again.
