Ultrasound

It's one of those films that hold your attention, expecting something great to ultimately happen, only to be let down with a cluttered, convoluted, incoherent and incohesive story. There was just no reward, and it looked like a bunch of screenplays were thrown in the shredder then randomly taped together. It tried too hard to be smart, and lost focus on any character development to align with the story. Then add the terrible pacing to the convoluted plot's 103 min runtime, and you'll be begging for something thrilling to happen quick so the film can end. Why would the producers hire an amature writer in his first screenplay, and not at least have a seasoned writer look it over? Schroeder's directing was adequate, but what stood out was the cinematography and score. The only convincing performances were Kartheiser, Lopez and Qualley. Everyone else, especially Wool, were stale and seemed amateurish. Maybe part blame goes to Schroeder's failure to direct his cast properly. It's too bad, this film had tons of potential. It's a 6/10 from me.

I thought the premise was interesting and so I gambled and spent the $6 to watch it. I'm glad I did as this movie is much better than it's current rating. The acting is excellent the story is original and it moves along farely quickly. This is that movie you hope to happen upon whenever you choose something you are unfamiliar with.

I would give extra points for the original story and concept. However the screenplay was bad. There were so many things the story couldn't justify. Also I think it would have been better if it revolved more on 'Art' because he was the coolest character in this one.

Nonetheless I didn't get bored and could watch the film completely so it's a 7 from me.

The film is quite unlike most films in that it keeps you in the dark and doesn't spoon-feed the plot. I thought it was a really well made low budget film with a truly original script. The film is quite mind-bending and I can see why some people might not like it, but it is really worth watching to the end. I would say it's one of the best low budget films I've seen as the script and direction is really quite unique.

Ultrasound is a trippy sci Fi flick, but it doesn't use expensive CGI or action set pieces to blow your mind. Instead Ultrasound uses interesting writing and ideas and good character work, to mystify and intrigue. If your a fan of low budget films, than check out Ultrasound.
