Tethered

The movie have nice story and the actors played well ! There is some minor things that you can feel it's a low budget movie , maybe it was produce with higher budget will be fantastic and worth 9/10.

In general I advise to see it!

This film reminds me of It Comes at Night (2017), a slow burn that really has no purpose. It starts off semi-promising but feels like it loses its plot as the film progresses. It feels incomplete, playing on loop just to keep you watching for something that appears to exist in your head fueled by seclusion.

I was not impressed with this one personally, but I will say that the cinematography is beautiful. It's dark, depressing, moody, lingering, but lifeless. The ending seems to have one of those what I like to call "suicidal" endings where it disappointingly dies.

I wish the storyline was better.

This was enjoyable to watch up until the ending.

Despite it obviously being a low budget film, the acting was good, the direction was good, and I felt the story really had potential.

Maybe I failed to understand something, but I felt that it was ruined by the weak and confusing ending. I probably would have given this a 6 or 7 if it had ended differently.

It's times like this that I wish IMDB still had message boards as I would like someone to explain the ending to me as I obviously didn't get it.

Tethered didn't have enough plot line to keep you roped in. Intriguing, yes - a blind boy alone in the woods. But the plausibility is weak and his mysterious guest doesn't do much to build the climax of the film.

This movie had some good potential. The set up was intriguing and the slow starting pace did a fair job of drawing the viewer.

The acting was alright, but given it's more of an indie film you could overlook it and I still felt endeared to the characters. However, some of the music felt inconsistent and actually took me out of the immersion. Similarly, some of the visual shots seemed to be a good set up for a close up or some sort of follow up scene/dialogue but ended up leaving you hanging. (i.e. Hank reading the journal to Solomon felt cut off and I wanted more from the scene)

The final reveal was predictable and left me wanting something more. Ultimately the world building and story were on the right track, but the final product just felt a bit lacking.
