A Unique Head Trip of a Horror Film!

This movie is nuts. Uniquely weird, there are homages galore, with nods to Re-Animator, Basket Case, Donnie Darko, and even Videodrome. The story is told in a non-linear way, more of a fevered dream rather than traditional three-act structure, which will appeal to viewers who like a movie that requires more attention. The practical EFX are well done and gross, and the 16-bit computer graphics on the tele show the ever-warping mind of a slacker shut-in. The acting is also a high point. Quite a courageous lead actor, for sure. Very interested to discover if the author of this film had any mind-altering help when writing! Fans of the genre will really appreciate this film.

Whoa

Had I not seen this film at Rose City Comic Con 2015, I may have never found it. This is a diverse and incredibly complex film that disguises it's self as a horror film.

It is indeed a horror film, but much more so then it truly portrays to be. The director, Don Thacker does an incredible job making us feel the main character, Ian's plight. He does this by isolating Ian in an apartment and bringing everyone to him. I don't want to give much more away. but this film should not be missed!!! If this director is not a bigger deal in a couple of years I would be incredibly surprised.

I am looking forward to his next.. It doesn't hurt that he used the great Jeffrey Combs to voice a talking mold spore.

Wonderful roller-coaster of emotions!

I got to see the movie during a small screening in Seattle and I am glad I decided to step into torrential downpour to make it to the theater! I cringed, I laughed, I cried, I got queasy, and I had to avert eyes at certain times. This movie provides quite a healthy mix of humor and horror sprinkled with occasional scenes inducing depressive thoughts. This mix was the reason why I didn't leave with just a sense of dark dread despite the movie being so damn dark.

As a side note, the puppetry is superb (The Mold felt very much real by the end of the movie) and I've got to give props for camera work on such a limited budget.

Little Shop of Horrors and Monty Python's Love Child

What can I say about Motivational Growth, it is mind trip of a movie that could be the 80's love child of Little Shop of Horrors and Monty Python! And I mean that as a high compliment.

I can't say enough good things about the set design, wardrobe, cinematography and all around production values! Though the entire movie takes place in a single apartment for the most part, it was all extremely well done and isn't just your basic apartment movie. If this wasn't a set built on a soundstage then they did some serious set design to the apartment itself. If that's the case, good luck getting your deposit back!

If you're in the mood for a random, out there mind trip of a film, then I highly recommend Motivational Growth. Well done Don Thacker and the entire cast and crew!
