Retratos Mortais

Blucas went to the same high school I did, and so, in some rare act of hometown patriotism, I figured I'd check it out. I expected crap, not being a fan of the whole Buffy thing and not really seeing him in anything else. But I was pretty surprised, I really enjoyed the movie. Blucas's acting was quite good, and really shined through during the more intense moments. I had something of an idea of the ending of the movie early on in the film, but the actual ending still held a few surprises.

The rest of the movie was pretty good as well. Nobody really had terrific acting, but nobody did a bad job either. The production could have been a little better, no major flaws to point out, just, you could tell it wasn't a big-budget movie. I'd rank is above a "B" movie, but not by a whole whole lot.

Now that I look, the movie has no listed rating yet, but I think it'll definitely receive and R purely for language. What bothers me about that, and it by no means hurt the movie, but it irked me, was that with all the F-bombs being thrown around, there isn't even an ass through the entire movie (even during the sex scene). Also, aside from a few very mild fights, there really is no blood or gore or anything like that either. If you're going to go for an R rating, why not go all the way? By removing half a dozen curses, they probably could have gotten away with PG-13, but they didn't, so why skimp on all the other R-rated perks? Overall, I would for sure recommend watching it if you get the chance. Pretty decent flick.

Cheers.

Hi there everyone, Just wanted to share some comments about this movie, i think this is a well written and well played movie from everyone involved! I like the scenes, light, manuscript, actors, characters, yeah almost everything. It was a little "amateur" in the beginning but it just became better and better, it gave me this creepy feeling inside. "What if somebody is watching ME right now" so and I always thought that i knew who the killer was, but as closer we've got to the end i was actually confused. But i think this is and will be a underestimated movie, and i would highly recommend it to anyone who are in to the Thriller genre!! If you like the Bourne Identity you'll definitely like this one as well.

Note: This is my first comment made on IMDb, =)

I must say i enjoyed this movie from start to finish! The movies about a guy who moves into a new apartment and starts getting packages suggesting something terrible happened in his apartment, he tries to find out the history of his apartment and ends up going off the rails and getting himself in a very big pickle! the storyline is very gripping and its also accompanied by a nice and clever ending! the actors were well chosen and play there parts well, and the camera work and directing is very good as well!! this movie is a must for any thriller fan or anyone for that matter! its been a great movie to start off the day, i hope the other 5 im gonna watch are as enjoyable as this one was!

The beginning of the film is quite decent with a lot of potential. However the story quickly dissolves into several "suspenseful" misdirections which are mildly entertaining yet predictable.

Marc Blucas plays a young, handsome and rich literary agent. The casting of Blucas for this role was a poor decision. Not because he's not a good actor; he's just not a believable yuppie bookworm. I did like that Blucas' character wasn't afraid of the dark and wasn't jumping at every strange sound or seeing things.

The end is predictable although the writers didn't think so as the ending is supposed to leave you in shock. All it left me was bored and glad to hit the stop button.

(This is 3 paragraphs to long!) It's not often when you get such a thriller that pulls you in and make's sure you don't fall out and The Killing Floor manages just that. I didn't expect anything to come out of this film just as most would but, surprisingly, it was fairly entreating and good. Yes, a B-Film but, a good one with a good actors. It sticks to it's B-Movie root's and it's a delight the whole time.

If you want a good movie this is for you. This movie is movie is not a horror and if you are looking for one to watch don't watch this, it's not scary and your hopes will only be let done. This is a movie for the thinker, so if your head hurts a lot when you think, you shouldn't be watching this, but, if you're looking for a good movie, I recommend this to you.

The finale twist is absolutely stunning, not only are you not trying to smile at the devious and twisted thing that is going on but, you're wonder how the title character didn't see that coming. All together this movie makes a great thriller. I would recommend this to anyone who like's suspense, and wants something to just sit down to watch for fun, and someone who is in the mood to put a puzzle together.

(But please, don't take my word for it)
