Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
omendata I really enjoyed this film. I found the lugubrious pacing and slow menacing atmosphere quite interesting and it drew me in but then I have strange tastes. Reminds me of "Misery" but with a totally different angle.What surprised me even more is that I always thought Kate Bosworth was a terrible actress and I have now changed my opinion somewhat as she was really very good in this role.The twist in the tale was totally unexpected and made the film even more interesting. I guess when the story draws you in and you become immersed you are less likely to try and work things out and criticise but just let the story take you to the endpoint.I think I must be the only person in the reviews section that has given this a good review and I don't know why as the film was really rather good, apart from some plot holes; like who was the previous husband in the cupboard and why did the new guy not know about it or maybe he did as he had lost his memory and went along with it all because he did in fact love the main protagonist.
bgall-67507 This could be one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and one of the biggest wastes of time. There are no names given to any of the characters other than one, whom you don't meet until the last 25 minutes. Throughout the movie, the plot is very repetitive: man wakes up groggy, goes downstairs where he shouldn't, wife tells him to rest, he is punished. The story line could not be more predictable. Along with tragic cinematography, the lighting never changes and there is rarely focus on anything. Overall this movie made me want to be the amnesiac.
sddavis63 This isn't as absolutely bad as some reviewers are making it out to be. To call it the worst movie ever made just shows that a person hasn't watched a lot of movies. Having said that - no, it's not especially good either. There are a few cringe-worthy moments contained within its hour and a half (but, yes, it did seem longer) but for the most part it just kind of meanders slowly along, with very little emotion or passion being shown by either Kate Bosworth or Wes Bentley, who both seemed to have little interest in what they were doing.They play a married couple (I don't remember any names being used for them.) As the movie opens they're in a car driving down a highway, and there's a young girl (their daughter, you assume) in the backseat. Suddenly there's a horrible accident and the next thing you know the man wakes up in a dim, sparsely furnished bedroom, remembering nothing and being looked after by the woman. From there it, well, just kind of meanders slowly along. You know that something isn't right. Something's off; something's weird. I took a guess as to what was happening - and I was wrong. The eventual revelation of what was going on did catch me by surprise, and that gains the movie a couple of points from me. The ending, however, is bizarre. I have to admit that I just didn't really understand how the movie ended.Bosworth's performance was a kind of combination of Nicole Kidman (the look especially) and eventually it blends in some of Kathy Bates' character from Misery. Bentley himself just never picked up any steam in his performance as far as I was concerned.This isn't as horrible as some people make it out to be. But it is weird - which is compelling for a while, but in the end you leave it disappointed. (4/10)
MattyAndAnnika Amnesiac (2015) is a dark, eerie, and suspenseful thriller to say the least. It has that Stephen King's "Misery" vibe going for it in a huge way, but better. This movie has a beautiful twist beyond what is expected; great story. The film setting is the type I enjoy, faded and more old school era sort of a 50's styling; beautiful for such a film. The acting is impeccable and holds the reality within the characters keeping the movie feeling alive and more on a real world versus an in cinema vibe.I tend to not watch a whole lot of horror now days as most are poorly put together and become more the T&A blood gore than anything as this film doesn't. Amnesiac has that dark intelligent intent that drives the story and film all at once and I find it truly refreshing to experience it. Great film for it's genre.
