Rupture

Like most of the time before watching a horror movie I look it up on IMDb and look at the ratings it gets. And most of the time when the ratings are low, like for this one, I just read a couple positive reviews to try to give me an idea of what to expect. And when it seems plausible that it might be better then the ratings tell I give it a shot. So did I with Rupture, and I'm glad I did. Rupture deserves way more than it's actual ratings. The point of a good horror movie is that you are captivated by the story and that it keeps you on the edge of your seat. All credits go to the director Steven Shainberg that gave me everything I expected in a horror movie. Good actors, an intriguing story, a good soundtrack and choice of filming, but above all a lot of suspense. And if you honestly find there is no suspense in Rupture then you must have pay no attention to the movie. Rupture deserves better and if you like suspense without to much bloody details you will like this movie.

Not terrible. Sort of interesting, and sort of scary conceptually. Noomi Rapace makes this movie watchable. Without her, my rating might have been a "2" at best. Her acting sells the story, and provides some emotional connection for the viewer.

I rarely watch horror films, and I only tend to watch suspense films that don't have an absurd amount of gratuitous gore. When I saw the title and the Rotten Tomatoes score, I almost passed on it. But when I saw Noomi Rapace's name, I decided to give it a chance. I still think her performance in the original 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' is one of the most perfect performances I've ever seen. Every word and every subtle movement in that film was pure genius, to which I credit Rapace as well as brilliant director Lasse Hallstrom. Though her performances will probably never match that one, nor will the films themselves, she does some things very well in Rupture. She's very physical and palpable in her close-ups, which works great in this setting. I'm not sure that I ever completely figured out some of the the specifics of the premise (I don't want to give away any more than that), but I was glued to the edge of my seat the whole movie. The casting was good, with the exception of Michael Chiklis, who seemed like a fish out of water. Peter Stormare was effective as always. I generally loved the suspense and uncertainty of the film, which was allowed to play out by director Steven Shainberg without giving much away to the viewer. And I actually loved the ending, which is rare for me. For fans of horror/suspense/sci-fi/thrillers, I think you'll find this film to be a bit of a hidden gem.

Because of the mostly bad reviews and a not so interesting marketing campaign I delayed to watch this movie for a long time.

Now, that I did catch up on it I'm glad I watched it. Rupture is way better than the reviews. If you're into sci-fi, intimate theatre, and don't expect non-Stop action I suggest you give it a chance. It offers An interesting plot, decent artworks, and good acting of capable actors.

The ending falls a little short compared to the previous acts.

Rupture wasn't a bad movie. Noomi Rapace keeps you engaged until you learn about the motives of the antagonists in this story. It's a very chilling and at times uncomfortable to watch movie for the right person. I personally would have been open to learning more about the motives of the antagonists, the other patients and that whole setting where Noomi was held captive. I feel there could have been more story there to fill the otherwise gap in the antagonists motives. Nonetheless, It's a thrilling movie to watch, and Noomi Rapace keeps you at the edge of your seat throughout the entire movie my rating stands at 7/10.
