The Screaming Silent

Not even any attempt at a plot. Boring. Terrible, jerky camera angles. Bizarre sound track. Did I mention that there;s no plot? It looks exactly like some weak, self-indulgent first-time producer was taking the piss. I recommend avoiding this movie unless you enjoy being alternately bored to death or annoyed.

I wanted to raise the score a bit due to the really good fx, which don't look like cgi, and the little homages to better films, except for the one at the end which is just cringeworthy, but that's the entire problem with this movie, you can admire some aspects at the same time you are grimacing at others. Too much time wasted on setup, rushed editing, illogical character arcs and actions and far too many unanswered questions and opportunities ruins what could have been a good story, but I did watch to the end and yes, I agree, the horror, the horror, at wasted potential.

I am not sure I've ever been bored as much from a found footage film before. That statement says a lot. For an hour we watch a neurotic filmmaker, his friend/producer, and a cameraman walk around Australia trying to convince an average at best actress to accept a role in a ridiculous at best horror film. They talk, they walk, we wait for something to happen. It doesn't. Then....they travel, and things start getting weird. Slowly. Agonizingly slowly. From there, it just gets silly. It does NOT, however, become entertaining. Ever.

I was totally wrong. You can't make the background scenery bad but neither can it carry the film Skip - don't rent - don't watch - even if desperate for something new. The lead is not very good, the whole hand-held narrative over-done by now and some the decisions simply boggle the mind. If you really must seen the countryside then simply google the country - there are some amazing travel narratives available

Terrible acting with a ridiculous story.

The only good thing about the film was the scenery.

Other than that, I really wouldn't bother with it.
