Siren

I had not heard of this and enjoyed it. The film had a great story and a satisfying end(not an excuse for a sequel, or now you feel depressed): excellent acting, action, drama, romance, mystery.

Prettily shot and enjoyable adult-fairytale indie. Competent lead performances and an unusual score that - along with Direction - keeps the film feeling lightweight. It's a pre-#MeToo film and it shows. The premise is full of promise but avoids the deep, dark, dangerous waters of male/female sexual power dynamics. The hurried and predictable ending doesn't stand up to scrutiny and the supporting cast is a little weak. But worth seeing - and a great choice of film for a young couple to watch together. 6.5/10

Siren is a film with an unusual surrealistic premise. If you like slow paced but intriguing ideas I would highly recommend this film. The story centers around Leigh who lives behind locked gates and surrounded by security cameras in a little cottage. The mystery behind her isolation is interestingly revealed. I think this is movie highly underrated and I would ignore any low ratings and give it a try. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I felt this movie truly deserves some attention and I hope to encourage people to check it out.

Pardon the aside, but one 2 star reviewer complained that 4 key points were not explained. Clearly that viewer wasn't paying any attention to the film because all the answers were right there if you were actually paying attention.

Bottom line if you like unusual and artistic films, give it a watch.

An unusual plot performed by competent actors spoiled only by the contrived ending, which doesn't hold up in the light of day.

It is still worth watching and gets a solid 6 stars from me.

I wasn't expecting much, but this was a really nicely done movie. I have to admit that I like stories that a "out there", but this was a really watchable movie that wasn't full of the super-powers that I normally prefer. I don't know why I didn't give it a 10/10...but I think I just want to leave room for "the ultimate" movie (if I ever find it). Well worth the watch. It's better than most movies in general.
