And a horror movie it was. Well, not in the terms of it being a scary or frightening movie. No, not at all. But a horror in the terms of it being a ludicrous 'found garbage' movie and having a really laughable storyline, complete with dubious acting performances and characters that no one cares about.
Yeah, "The Cutting Room" from writer and director Warren Dudley was a terrible mess of a movie. I loathe 'found footage' movies with a vengeance, and had I known that "The Cutting Room" was one such movie, I wouldn't even have given it a second glance.
The storyline told in "The Cutting Room" was just utter rubbish, and I must admit that it didn't take me long before I had my mobile phone out and were doing stuff on the phone and only semi-paying attention to the rubbish on the screen.
Do yourself a favor and give "The Cutting Room" a wide berth, because this movie is not worth the time, effort or money. Seriously? Why waste time on something that is filmed with a handheld camera that is all over the place? The camera work in these 'found garbage' movies is so shoddy that it is just not worth the effort. I mean, my 11 year old son would fare better operating our digital video camera.
My rating of this 2015 'found garbage' movie lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
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.
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.
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.
