The Surreal Project

If you like Hungarians sitting on couches and talking to the camera, you're going to love this movie. It never shows us anything, opting instead to let Hungarians on sofas describe it. Why bother with action sequences and flashbacks when you can let a Hungarian on a sofa talk to you instead?

Im a horror fan, that being said, im used to awful movies however this movie deserves a special place in hell. It was one of those Prime suggestions, so i expected bad but got so much worse. A Hungarian guy inherits a painting from his dead grandfather that looks like a grey alien head that someone painted in art class. Not long after, he claims atrange things begin to happen at his house. I say claim because the entire thing is filmed pov found footage style for his non existent paranormal show but the "happenings" mostly consist of off screen noises. To be honest, i dont know what was worse, the script or the acting... "i am concerned for you because you are looking very pale..." the script was obviously written by a non native English speaker and acted out by what i can only assume are hungarian film students. Bottom line, i found nothing about this film enjoyable and actually disliked it so much that i felt compelled to write this review in hopes the creator might see it and swear to never ever make another film.

I fell asleep 3 times while watching this, and didn't miss a beat. This was painfully slow, painfully acted, and just plain painful to watch. These kids should be ashamed of themselves for participating in this project. And all the "action" is off screen.

The Whispering Man (2019) is a movie I recently watched for free off Tubi. The storyline surrounds a man who is a YouTube blogger who inherits a strange painting from his grandparents home. Shortly after bringing the painting home the man's home seems possessed by a being trapped in the painting that may have been responsible for his grandparents death as well. This movie is directed by Jozsef Gallai (Aftermath and Moth) and stars Andras Korscmaros (The Rite), David Fecske (The Poltergeist Diaries), Agota Dubai (Spirits in the Dark) and Rob Oldfield (Moth). This is a found footage film that feels like some guys and his group of friends made it. The acting, script and character interactions were painful. The guy pictured on the cover of the film...is never in the film, just the noises he makes as people are attacked by him. I was definitely hoping for a little more effort from this film. I'd give this a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.

Good luck with this one. They had an idea, it's an idea which has been done but still they tried. The painting of the whispering man isn't bad. There's a nice song. That's about it.

The acting is woefully bad. You'll think it's bad then they introduce another character and it gets worse. There's a smugness about the two main guys, like they're 15 year olds who have just smoked their first doobie.

It's pretty dull. Terrible acting. Don't bother.
