The Cutting Room

This has to be the most idiotic horror movie out there. It goes absolutely nowhere. A total waste of time! A whole lot of bad camera work with lousy dialogue. Avoid this flick

It's an understanding that most horror films that pop up here, and there nowadays lacking in most needed elements, and that's completely understandable. But when you offer the audience a film of which seems to be given little - to no emphasis what so ever, it becomes frustrating, and even aggravating. This film angers myself, and possibly others that have given this film a chance, as I did.

The acting in this film is an atrocity, something that's extremely hard to put up with. Each - to all actors in this film seem as if they were each collected from the streets, and offered a roll in this movie. It's as if nothing at all was given to execute this movie! As if they had minutes to read they're scripts, leading to trash acting! And to topple that to the ground, there would be no point to begin with, each character is sickly clichéd, and have nothing unique in they're executions at all! Overall, there was absolutely nothing given here! The acting was terrible, and so were the characters, making this entire film hard to stomach.

The idea, and or plot of this movie, as well was terrible. I personally didn't like the way the writers wanted this entire film to play out. From start, to finish this entire film seemed as if it was going absolutely nowhere, and proves itself from the middle, to last portions of this movie. Even when they "tried" to perhaps offer something in this film, they fell flat, and started more trash once again. In conclusion, the plot of this film, tying with the characters was utterly poor, and managed to lead nowhere.

Honestly, I credit most films of what they stand for, but I can't hold back. This movie offered little.. to nothing. I honestly wonder to myself on why I wasted my time, hoping the movie would perhaps turn into something greater - but no. The movie is simply pointless, and frustrating. Please, do not waste your time with this movie. Your better off giving other blind films chances, rather then this. I truly don't want to go any further, or in depth of the atrocious attempts of which this movie displayed, so I'll leave it to the small; tip of the iceberg information above of why this movie should NOT be seen, and or given any chances.

Reading some of the other reviews, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who was literally angered by this crap fest. Even if you like found film-which I do not-this is bottom of the barrel stuff. There is no talent here, just opportunistic scammers masquerading as "filmmakers," armed with a smartphone camera and a bunch of "actors" who just answered the ad.

The beginning of the film starts with a young woman who is apparently being dismembered alive. We assume this because we aren't shown anything. We aren't shown anything of horror at ALL. Just really annoying kids who we WANT to see die just talking. Just talking. For 45 minutes NOTHING HAPPENS. Just walking and talking while apparently an earthquake was occurring because this was not shaky cam. This was way beyond shaky. I truly felt motion sickness trying to watch this. I started fast forwarding because I did not care anymore about the story, the characters, what they were saying-I just wanted to get to the end. And when I did...

It was just kinda over. All we ever got was dark hallways, brief glimpses of a scary figure...and that's it. We were subjected to all that for clickbait. Like I said, these were scammers who showed us just enough to get us to watch so they could make a profit on something a 2yo in a haunted house could do with a camera taped to his forehead. And now I'm angry at myself for getting fooled again.

If you want to see a good film, this is not it. This is a waste of time.

I really enjoyed this film and for ages after it finished, just sat open-mouthed in front of the TV with my heart banging against my rib cage.

The Cutting Room only cost £12,000 to make but nothing about it feels small budget. The cinematography is really impressive and you get this constant feeling that the characters are being watched. Many of the scenes are filmed underground in the disused army barracks yet the viewers is treated to all the gruesome bits in gory, vivid detail.

A lot of the film is "found footage" but the quality is so much better, in my opinion, than The Blair Witch Project. In that film, I found it pretty unwatchable but in this film it was of a quality good enough to enjoy the film while still getting the pants scared off you.

I really enjoyed the plot and the characters, who seemed believable in terms of English students. I'd definitely like to keep an eye on Lucy- Jane Quinlan and Lydia Orange in the future.

Definitely pay attention when watching the film and look out for the clues. If you don't, the finale is going to terrify you, as it did me. The final scenes take place over 15 terrifying minutes where the viewer is kept firmly on the edge of your seat. Watch out for the final, horrifying reveal in the last 15 seconds of the film.

Oh now come on! This is just the most unfair set of reviews on a harmless enough found footage horror I've ever seen.

Yes it's found footage so if you hate found footage you won't like it.

There's a massive hint given early on and it will only make sense at the end. Yes there's plot holes such as most people having more than one pair of shoes in their life and why was the killer reflected in a mirror at one point but the acting is fine, the script is meant to sound like townie college students and it does, the location is creepy, the twist is pretty obvious but still fun to find out.

There's many questions left in the air but that's a staple of British horror especially.

This one needs digging back up and reappraising as it's undervalued and underappreciated.
