True Fiction

The beginning was great the middle mediocre and the end sub par. at some points it was confusing but with good acting and a few crazy scenes it is deff middle of the road watchable and some may even really like it

5.3

Tapping into some universal fears such as isolation, mutilation, and fear of the unknown, True Fiction explored experimentation, gaslighting, and induced fear techniques as fodder for a novelists new book. This film definitely pays homage to a few cabin-fever classics such as Misery, Hard Candy, and even the Shining, with many twists and turns. I loved it!

Sara Garcia and John Cassini show pretty strong here as players entangled in a sick celebrity worship web. Regrettably, however, so much of what happens, or appears to happen, in "True Fiction" baffles to the practical point of incoherence.

And that's the truth.

And "deadly" - for your sanity and other "things". Now the German title of the movie got a tag line that some may say is quite the spoiler ... at least it indicates something that already gives you a view into what you are about to watch. German title "givers" like to do stuff like that ... explaining or spoiling a movie ... it is what it is.

The movie may have a slow pace at the beginning, but once it gets going ... it really gets going! And yes there is only a binary choice when it comes to guessing where this leads ... so no cookie for you if you guess it right. Still this can be entertaining, while also straining and exhausting! Yes the main characters seem despicable to say the least ... or not likeable ... but if you wrap your head around that, if you suspend your disbelief ... this can be the horror/thriller you can dig and be entertained by (not literally, you know what I mean).

First of all I have to say that - once again - my theory that the imdb crowd cannot be trusted with horror movies is confirmed. I almost didn't watch this one due to its abymal rating, but when I did, it turned out to be one of the best I've come across in a while. It's hard to say much about it without giving too much away. Let me just say this: It's starts rather slow, explodes in the second half and keeps you surprised with twists and turns along the way. For mature genre fans it is definitely a treat.
