It is a performances centric movie
Borgarkeri
A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

For a low budget British horror film, COMMUNITY has potential, it's true. It's a grittily realistic little movie in which the budget fits the storyline, chronicling the adventures of a couple of student film-makers who decide to do a segment on a local run-down council estate. Unfortunately for them, their college project soon brings them into contact with some very unsavoury individuals indeed.COMMUNITY boasts an absolutely wonderful location in its depiction of British at its worst: grubby, run-down streets, overrun by feral youths and occupied by adults who have more in common with some of our simian cousins than the human race. There are some truly icky ideas behind this, and some bizarre characterisations (like the transvestite) which stick in your mind.A shame that it all falls apart in the second half. The first half boasts an effective atmospheric set-up, with lots of foreboding, but the second half reverts to type: a couple of people trying to escape their captors, and nothing else besides. It's typical 'torture porn' territory, with slim characterisation, although not as gory as it could have been, which is at least something. The acting is only acceptable and the silly twist ending drags things down still further.

CLEARLY MARKED MILD SPOILERThis seems to be one of those movies where you either you get it or you don't. It's uniquely British in that it deals with a British setting, the current Daily Mail readers fear of those pesky hoodies and treats it all with a British sense of humour. The initial set up is creepy before turning into a black comedy in the same vein as Jam and League of Gentlemen. The leads are pleasantly good looking in that vacant, generic 'Skins' way, all the character is provided by Terry Bird (who is fantastic as Dumpy) and Paul McNealy as Auntie.SPOILERS ***There's a scene where he removes his wig and speaks to Isabelle in his real voice and tells her how he discovered the secret of his weed and it is a amazing piece of workSPOILER ENDS ***To sum up, this movie is nowhere as bad as the reviews say, these people are either not Brits or have a very light sense of humour. It is also not a 'drugs are bad' movie. It's a pastiche, parody and mockery of the Daily Mail way of thinking with some random horror thrown in.I was actually surprised by the twist too

The setting was great, the story was delightfully strange, and the acting was actually pretty good for low budget. Not a lot of jump-scares, but more of a twisting, winding tale of brutal insanity. This movie is very reminiscent of early Troma films, before they went for the buckets of gore and back when they relied more on the shock value of the story itself. The characters in this film were very 'Rob Zombie's House Of 100 Corpses' oriented in that they were believably trashy and appeared honestly completely insane. I was hesitant going in due to the 3.9 user rating, but was delightfully entertained and pleased. I'm giving it a 6 for it's harsh and unashamed originality and execution.

A couple of bad actors (sorry, amateur film makers) are making a film about a dodgy estate which seems to be occupied entirely of pot heads and their feral kids. one of the film makers has a secret which she still keeps to herself even when things start going wrong, which was really annoying. and thats about it really. all the characters are just stupid or psychotic. the films attempt to make some sort of social commentary falls flat. the script doesn't seem to know where its going and all it does is get gradually more stupid. i had to fast forward through the 2nd half because i was so damn bored. don't bother. this gives British horror films a really bad name. boring and pointless with no sex, gore or proper violence. a total failure on all counts.
