The Quiet One

A fantastic back to roots movie that will either captivate you or bore you, there's no in between with this one, and this just hypnotised me as it was so believable and real,and just a few thousand budget, well done to all.

I've always wondered what the worst film I'd seen would be. It's The Quiet One! Ridiculous screenplay and script - just not thought through. Acting?! Well some professional and experienced actors would certainly have helped. Inept direction, obvious from the poor attempt to make things work in the edit. There was no sound dub so the audio is all over the place. In fact in some scenes it's difficult to hear what folk are saying. No grading obviously and the aperture and colour balance are well below the industry's standards. I note no tripods were used and though the hand-held is passable a proper DoP should have been employed. Why it's on Prime amazes me. Worth seeing if one must to experience the lowest of standards.

There are no words to describe how bad this film is but I'll try. Badly acted, the characters are very, very unconvincing and the whole plotline and story are just too terrible for words. Avoid like the plague. If I could give a zero rating, I would. The worst character is the gangster's son who is the least convincing of an unconvincing bunch, the production is terrible (watch out for the old fella who has a pint given to him, but a quarter of it is gone on his first sip but then, miraculously, turns into a full pint as the camera pans away). It's 90 minutes or so of my life I'll never get back.

I stumbled across this film on amazon prime and thought lets give it a go.

Now, it certainly didn't look like any kind of blockbuster and clearly had been made with a minimal budget, however the overall feel of the movie and the way the storyline evolves I cannot help but think how much of a bigger success this film would have been with more cofters.

But credit where credit is due, its a cool story and worthy of a watch.

I say well done to all involved in making something you should be proud of.

I personally would like to see a sequel, a what happens next with Lenny. And I hope that investors see their way to giving you more budget, not too much though as I wouldn't want you to lose your way. The rawness of the film is very important to keep.

This is genuinely the worst acting I have ever seen in my life ! I can not get across how bad the acting really is. Genuinely the worst film I think thats ever been made, it might be low budget but it's honestly embarrassing for everyone involved !

The sound is all over the place, the plot is beyond poor, the music is shocking, surely the makers of this utter rubbish can't of been happy with the final cut. I think you could get a bunch of completely random strangers off the street the do a better job than this. It's unbelievable how this film actually got onto amazon, if I could give this minus points I would.
