Snapped

wow, an honest horrible movie! ..one you can comfortably turn off after 2 minutes with a smile for it never tries to hide its minus zero production-value.

Atrocious acting, a screenplay from a high-school writing-contest and a plot straight out the Lazy Book of Rehashed and Done to Death Plotpoints. Do movies get any worse? They do, but only slightly...

Great fun with a couple of brews, some grass and a bored set of friends and a brilliant motivation to change the evening for the better and simply get out of the house to..take out the trash? ..just about anything is better than to sit through this one.

This film has a nice look to it, especially for an indie and seemingly low budget film. The sound is good as well. I was quite impressed by both. Too often, indies/low budgets (not that they're necessarily the same) have problems technically that obscure the gems of the film. In Snapped's case, much the opposite is true.

While the acting isn't overall terrible (notably the two female leads...who seemed capable of acting on some level), no one is more than competent. The dialogue was terrible, unrealistic. Several times, I wondered why the director hadn't ordered more takes. Some things just came off as too amateurish.

Finally, a problem that plagues many low budget films was present. Without getting into the specifics, there are at least two physical altercations that are basically implausible to the point of stupidity. There are other scenes where the shift in tone between interacting characters is so sudden and unmotivated as to be wholly unbelievable.

Not the worst film out there by any stretch of the imagination and I'd love to see what the technical people from this film could do with a real script and actors, but hardly worth a look.

Where to start? The initial premise is clever enough-a girl who is hired to make, and kill for, art-but it is all downhill from there. The acting is foul, replete with over exaggerated eye-rolls and wooden monotones (to be fair, the lead actress isn't too bad), the camera work is worthy of Dad patrolling the camcorder for a backyard BBQ and the plot is both indecipherable and utterly predictable at the same time. This would all be fine if Sanpped were punctuated by some measure of camp value which made it one of those movies that are so bad that they're fun to watch. But no luck here-the dialogue is deadly boring, not howlingly bad, the death scenes, clichéd and tame, not farcically bloody and over the top. Even by the standards of low budget horror movies, this is utter dreck.

I got this thinking it was a movie but I was wrong. Someone borrowed their moms video camera and taped their friends running around. I want to go into detail about everything thats bad about this but I would be wasting my time. I have to admit the first 30 seconds or so had me believing this was a movie, but two minutes later I wasn't sure if they were joking or not when a fat goth chick starts kicking some guy for gambling debts(they're not joking, she's supposed to be tough). I feel stupid for not seeing it sooner, this is just a horrible attempt at making a movie. I looked up this movie on IMDb and saw "Michael Bien" and thought it was the bad-ass guy from "The Terminator" but thats "Michael Biehn", this movie has some fat guy instead. Bad "acting" is of course the most obvious issue but is't not even the pretend actors fault, the most talented actors couldn't make this stuff believable. Plot holes and no sense. It's not even good in a bad way, Hulk Hogan movies are more entertaining. I'm a fan of independent movies but this sucks, it tries to be a formulaic Hollywood thriller and is everything a independent movie should not be. This movie owes everyone who sees it an apology.

It's inspiring in the way that when you see something like this you can't help but smile to yourself thinking, if something THIS bad gets made then I might just have a future.

I pride myself in trying to see some good in every film I watch, however this is easily one of the worst films I've ever seen. The acting is wooden and two-dimensional at best. The characters are all stereotypes. The plot feels recycled, predictable, and unmotivated. There's no point to any of this. It's shot like it's a student film with no real motivation or idea as to what they want to evoke as far as emotions go in their cinematography.

This film made no attempt to make me FEEL anything, not happy or sad, not even frightened or anxious. THAT is what the point of cinema is, to experience something. And to quote one of the characters, "This wasn't an experience."
