Stitch

This is a terrible horror film. And of the many terrible horror films that exist, some of which I've had the misfortune of watching, this is the worst kind. There is nothing good about it. You'll want to tear your eyes out.

It's depressing to watch. It feels like it's five hours long. The list of what's bad about it is too long to get into. Everything that could be bad, and then some more stuff that you'd never imagine. Don't watch it. Don't think about it. Just go on with your life. You'll be much happier and better off that way. Do not recommend.

I would like to know who designated Edward Furlong as horror movie guy? I would like to kick that guy in the nuts. Terribly acted, this movie was so awful I couldn't finish it, even if the story was promising. These good reviews tricked me into watching, even tho he was in it..... I KNEW better but did it anyway. I have learned my lesson. And now IMDb wants ten lines of review about this movie....I don't know what else to say about it, it's the acting that made me want to throw something at my TV.

Save yourself, the good reviews are false or written by people too easily amused

I couldn't finish it. Once the lightning effects, which are truely awful kick in. The strobing is terrible, and it seems to just keep going. Like I've seen better lightning effects from the 80s. And they made the sky purple in an overly CGI way for some reason?

The sound quality is hot and miss. Sometimes things can be heard clearly, but other times the speech is quite and muffled. At first I thought this film had promise, especially some of the shots in the opening credits looked nice. But it just goes downhill after that.

The acting is dull, and wooden. And honestly it was just bad. There was even CGI fire at one point???

Serafina (Shauna Waldron) and Marsden (Edward Furlong) have recently lost their daughter. They hit upon a clearly unadvisable way of cleansing themselves of their abject misery by travelling to an isolated mansion in the middle of a desert and indulging in a ceremony designed to 'confront' death. You may think this won't end well. You may be right.

The director, known as Ajai, crams his film with as many images and ideas as 91 minutes will allow. Some might think it's saturated with too much incident; I rather liked the fast-moving nature of the ensuing horror. The thin budget makes itself apparent by some effects shortcomings and occasional lapses with the sound levels, and yet the ambition seems undiminished. I admire Ajai for this and, despite the shortcomings, 'Stitch Face' is an enjoyably gruesome experience. Hopefully, the director will continue for a long time to come.

I've seen every horror / slasher flick going, and there hasn't been a lot of innovation for a long time - most are incredibly formulaic. I genuinely see this movie as genre redefining, and was far away from any cliché I was expecting. Yes, some of the non-gore FX are clearly low budget, although they don't detract from the film, but the script, story, direction and acting are all excellent. The film is genuinely creepy, it keeps you guessing right until the end - when even after a few truly impressive twists, the film maintains intelligence, creative direction and - most importantly - scariness. It feels a lot like Phantasm (always a plus in my book), but more polished - but that classic creepy, weird "high-quality" 80's horror flick with great twists, morals etc. are way better than the 5.4 average rating I see at the moment. A solid 8+ higher if you love the genre. I'm an ex-pro movie-journo, I'm not giving this bonuses as a fanboy or anyone tied to the production - it really is clever, really creepy and really well acted and directed throughout. Spooky stuff.
