AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

bdmimdb3d Hi!I know I'm really late late with this one but I dugg it up from the past (2009) and wished to tell you about it. Here we have a film called 5150 Rue des Ormes (5150 Elm's Street/Way), it's a great (one of the best ones and very few ones that were actually made/and that were, actually, great, too) a Canadian QC french Quebecer thriller/suspense with strong horror elements (such as when later on in the film they play Cadaver Chess, literally the young protagonist plays a macabre chess game in the antagonist's father's lair of doom/the basement garage with actual dead cadaver bodies representing each human-sized chess piece on the huge makeshift floor-sized chessboard. We understand all the cadavers are the father's former kills/random people passing by on the Des Ormes street in front of the house that he lured in his cult house/his basement pit of hell) The story is straightforward (spoilers ahead) and revolves around a young man Yannick Bérubé (actor Éric Grondin who excels and is truly an incredible young actor, poignant and very deep/serious/natural in his acting), he is a university student that has a sort of university-essay on photography, and thus he must take pictures as a work-course assignment.He goes on a bike ride, and a certain point he turns on the street Des Ormes, takes some shots, and goes up in front of the 5150 house... and accident happens and he falls off his bicycle rendering it totalled and useless; he is stranded there and a bit hurt and goes for help at the first house in sight : 5150 des Ormes House... the Wrong house... he should never gone into... An old man (Mr. Beaulieu, Normand d'Amour/Incredible Actor here just as good as Mr. Grondin) a deranged crazed man who very pious and religious/almost a zealot and is house is a religious Cult; and he's the Cult leader) he emerges from the house and sees what happens/the commotion, young Mr. Bérubé asks help from old Mr. Beaulieu whoms decides 'ok' to let him in and to tend to his wound/call for help/ambulance/police... as Mr. Bérubé gets in the house, he knows something is 'weird' and 'off'... this family is many weirdos who though nice for accepting him and helping him - will Capture him/Abduct him, Mr. Beaulieu kidnaps him and in a struggle, totting a 12-gauge shotgun he forces him into a vacant room on the last upper floor... it's a very closed-in room, no windows, evertthing is closed-in... Mr. Bérubé screams in fear and in help! Bangs on the walls... he is captured... days will go will go on like that... he will be fed sporadically and Mr. Bérubé and him will developp a sort love/hate relationship (being that the food he gets is his only way to survive and 'sort of' forgive Mr. Beaulieu for abducting him/sequestering him and torturing him... at certain points in the film Mr. Bérubé tries to escape and fails each time, as Mr. Beaulieu is just too strong, authoritarian... and puts him back in the room/cage-in... trapped forever) Mr. Bérubé feels he will die there... and slowly perishes and goes into comatose/psychosis... it becomes very bloody, a nightmare.) The other actors are great too such as the Mother (just as crazy as Mr. Beaulieu) and the Daughter (Sonia Vachon).. both completely indoctrinated and brain-washed, they defend the Father (Mr. Beaulieu), and punish Mr. Bérubé any chance they get. But a certain point, the Mother gets really overwhelmed and starts to blame the Father, and will feel sad for Mr. Bérubé getting tortured for nothing, she will try to help him escape sort of... Mr. Bérubé is forced to play chess games with Mr. Beaulieu, Mr. Beaulieu makes a deal with him : 'if you beat me at a chess game - you will be freed'... and so it becomes a big mind-game between them, back and fort they play chess games and Mr. Bérubé fails each time as Mr. Beaulieu is just so good that each chess game lost enrages Mr. Bérubé - but... with time and losses, he becomes better and Mr. Beaulieu is feeling that he - Might - lose. To a certain point, where it's the last showdown... everyone is dead except Mr. Beaulieu and Mr. Bérubé... Mr. Beaulieu forces Mr. Bérubé totally naked to go down the garage lair to see the cadavers and play a big cadaver chess game - one last one and then kill Mr. Bérubé or himself or both... Mr. Bérubé finally wins the chess game and what ensues is truly scary, he finally evades Mr. Beaulieu's clutch...In the film, Mr. Beaulieu says a very freaky line : "Les Non-Justes doivent mourir" (Non-Justs must die), basically he is inferring that any person he lures, catches, abducts, trapps-in and then kills... is a 'Non-Juste' someone Un-Righteous deserving to die, someone that is a Sinner (going against God as such an Unrigteous Sinner who must pay for sinning and being Unjust/Unlawful of the Laws of God).. being a Hyper-Religious Pious person he sees Mr. Bérubé like some kid student who deserves to die for the simple fact he is not religious/pious and thus, a sinner/heathen/agnostic/atheist...As such he kills in cold blood a family that goes to and calls them 'Non-Justes...'... is daughter is with him and partakes as complicit murderer...Well safe to say this horror/thriller/suspense at the best quality and can give you nightmares! Especially you won't look at chess board the same way anymore!Playing 'meat chess' is quite disconcerting specially if you know that you lose the chess match - you die...A Great Canadian QC horror film, one of the Best ones in the last 10 years with solid production budget, if only there were more of them made.A give a solid 8 on 10!

acnovo As a big fan of horror movies I try to see everything that is released. When I read the "5150 Rue des Ormes" plot I thought it was going to be a good "different" horror movie but now I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I can picture the whole movie as a short story rather than a movie, some stories are not movie material, this one is a big example. Just because you have a creepy thriller it doesn't mean you can dress it with actors. The whole background story is good, the acting is good, the characters are interesting but all together in this movie are messy. There are many story lines that lead no-where, there were symbolisms bad used and many clichés. I wasn't scared about the story, it's a bad nightmare. Bad script, bad direction, good intention.

Coventry "5150, Rue des Ormes" is a strong and compulsory thriller, but it's not exactly the type of film I would recommend in case you're searching for a relaxing late-night movie or something fun to watch together with a group of drunken friends. This is a seriously intense and harsh film that manages to make you feel genuinely uncomfortable and this in spite of the use of familiar themes, derivative plot twists and predictable character developments. How does director Eric Tessier pull that off? Quite simply, by maintaining a continuously monotonous, almost unbearably calm even, narrative and unnecessarily stretching the emotionally painful sequences. There's absolutely nothing in "5150, Rue Des Ormes" that you haven't seen a dozen of times before (including a serial killer who exclusively targets victims that deserve punishment, the "apprentice" killer and a prisoner who gradually grows psychopathic as well) but the atmosphere is grim and the tone of the film is overall extremely unpleasant, like a thriller ought to be. Film student Yannick Bérubé is so proud about getting accepted at the Quebec university that he shoots a little video about his new neighborhood to show the home front. He has a banal bike accident at the titular address, but when asking the seemingly friendly proprietor Jacques for assistance Yannick witnesses something that he wasn't supposed to witness. For you see, Jacques is a chess-obsessed serial killer who wants to make the world a better place by killing drug dealers, pedophiles and other scum. Obviously he can't allow Yannick to interfere with his divine mission, or with the training of his adolescent daughter, and thus Jacques locks him up in the house. As weeks pass by and Yannick's chances to escape are getting slimmer, it becomes clear that Jacques is preparing some kind of masterwork in his basement. The story of "5150, Rue des Ormes" becomes increasingly absorbing and the ambiance more embittering, but the last half hour holds a few surprises in store that are most of all unexpectedly cruel and shocking. Although quite far-fetched and illogical, the climax is truly nightmarish and is guaranteed to leave a sour aftertaste in your stomach. These are "qualities" that I can only applaud. It's like a horror-shocker with dramatic and film-noir allures. The movie also becomes extra peculiar because of the typically Quebecois dialogs – which are practically incomprehensible even if you're fluent in French – and the fantastic performances by relatively unknown but devoted native Canadian actors, like Norman D'Amour in the role of atypical and Mylène St. Sauveur as his luscious but unsympathetic teenage daughter.

alienworlds It reminded me of the films of Alfred Hitchcock for some reason-maybe Psycho more than his other films. Maybe a bit strong in places but it is a well done movie that makes the statement that people are often not as ready to deal with a serious situation as they might think they are, which defines the predicament a character in this film faces. Disturbingly possible is maybe another point the film tries to make, and in that sense I think maybe, but not in most places in Quebec. The sub titles didn't always convey the right meaning of the french dialogue but maybe that was just me, but I thought they worked well enough to follow the story and see the characters. True 'nouveau cinema noir', for people who like horror movies, even though it is billed as a drama.
