Stricken

This movie will be added to my cult classic rotation. Watched it with a group of friends and had a great time. If you are watching a movie for enjoyment and not criticism, definitely worth a watch. Will be re-watched and re-enjoyed.

Many may disagree with me here...but I actually enjoyed this movie. It may be very low budgeted...and some of the actors here may have not been the BEST here, and the editing wasn't great, but it amused me. Banyon (played by Jamie Kennedy) was by far the best in the movie. If it wasn't for Jamie kennedy, this movie probably would not be good at all. Yes, Banyon may have been a little psycho and obnoxious, but still you couldn't help but feel sympathetic for his character. I say that if you enjoy dark independent films, you might want to take a look at this.

4 out of 5

Unexpected good acting from some of the cast saves this low budget production from being a complete wreck.

Highly questionable character choices and weird direction/editing decisions, coupled with the cheap look of locations and non-actors on secondary roles pull this movie down.

There's a lot of better things to do with your time than watching this one.

The actors turn in some fine performances in this darkly comic portrayal of some friends who take a college hazing too far. The film as a whole portrays violence as a basic (even acceptable) fall-back for a mind pushed too far or a mind too bored to care. It's almost like you side with this whacko Banyon because he's the only one who feels somewhat real or alive. (Maybe even sympathetic?) The rest of the characters - accurately written and portrayed - are almost stoner versions of Stepford youths - youths who really need to get a life if this is what they call fun...

This film is trash and people should run from it!If you have nothing to do keep doing it, because this waste of film has no direction what so ever. Even calling this so called self proclaimed director a film maker is blasphmee. No offense to Jammie Kennedy who is a wonderful actor and only took this crap for the money and hoping it might be done well. He should take his name off this trash and this film should be pulled off every where it sits. Lets hope this "director" never direct's any film again...uuuggghhh. I needed a flight bag to hold the vomit while watching this bad joke!
