Metamorphosis

I'm not sure why this movie has such a high rating currently- almost a 9. While the movie wasn't absolutely terrible, it's certainly not worth that high of a rating. Definitely a slow burn movie, and not a typical horror film. I'd still call it horror, but drama-horror. The acting was decent, considering how little dialogue there is. I did find the film to be a bit boring, I had to fight against nodding off while watching. Honestly, not much happens until the end, and even then, it's minimal. The story is pretty minimal as well, and not very clear. Maybe that's the point? One of my biggest problems with the film is that I didn't care about either character- I cared a bit more for Alyssa than Hugh, but barely. He just comes across like a huge a-hole most of the time, and she just doesn't speak much in response to him. When the little bit of stuff that happens starts happening, I didn't really care. I don't think it's the actors' fault, but the writers didn't create characters that we feel any empathy towards. Wouldn't watch again.

I can't believe this movie got a rating of 8.5... horrible movie and boring.... i'm still baffled as to how people think it deserves an 8.5..... BULL...Ugh👎🏻

How on earth did this movie get the rating it did???

A lot of guess work with this one which midway through didn't matter anyway because I cared less.

I'm shocked I even managed to stay awake until mid point.

Pretty much a slow moving senseless piece of drivel bordering on a complete work of garbage. Did someone think this movie had deep connotations? Haha I'd say about as deep as the shallow end of a swimming pool.

I could never imagine having to pay to watch it.

I am not even remotely in the love category. I did not like either main character. Can't even imagine them getting together. He is working himself to death and she is a lousy "artist" who apparently has never work like normal people, which is strange since they met in college. I'm sure some people would consider what she does as "art". I felt sorry for him, something happens while he is posting a sign, that tells me he has some degenerative medical condition. Worse partner possible if that's the case. There are a couple of bad guys, I'm sure something will happen in the future, but boredom has hit me hard and there is no way I will make it to the good part assuming there is one.

I have no idea why this has so many positive reviews.

I absolutely love a slow burn. This was not that. This was just slow.

The writing wasn't the worst thing in the world but there were some cliché lines that I finished in my head before the actors could say them aloud.

I struggled to stay awake for this film. I *paid* to watch this film, but I finally fell asleep and didn't bother to finish it. I've seen enough horror movies (and gave this one plenty of time!) to recognize when one isn't going to go anywhere, where the characters aren't going to surprise you or make you feel anything much at all and when a movie is going to leave you with nothing.

Even if there was a big twist at the end (I made it a little over 49 minutes in), I don't care because I never cared about the characters. Their issues were never properly addressed. At one point the wife asks her husband if he's seeing a therapist, in a seriously accusing tone, as if getting help for his issues would be a bad thing. He gets mad that she went through his things.

Nothing substantial happens and the characters are bland and boring. I wouldn't recommend this.
