Hurt Trailers

There are terrible things happening in the desert...unexplainable, frightening things. Tragic, inexplicable incidents… ever since she arrived.

Reviews
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Sankari_Suomi Yet another movie seemingly created for the sole purpose of insulting the viewer's intelligence.Follows the standard revenge flick formula with some spectacularly unrealistic scenes, jaw-droppingly stupid characters and plot holes large enough to swallow the Murray-Darling basin.The film initially shows promise with its metatext of pubescent erotica, polygamous sex and Freudian longings, but lacking proper development these elements became increasingly irrelevant and ultimately fail to satisfy.I rate 'Hurt' at 9.99 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a solid 3/10 on IMDb.
MsKitty77 I will start off by saying that I did not hate this movie. It was decent, and not a complete waste of a couple of hours. The acting was good, but if you've seen movies like "The Bad Seed" or "The Good Son", you have seen it all before. The only difference here is that the young girl pulling the trigger seems to have a semi-valid, though a bit twisted, reason to do the things she does. My biggest complaint is that this movie is pretty boring. There is not enough suspense to keep the more experienced movie-goer intrigued throughout the duration of the film. I would even say its slightly predictable at times. Also, it is classified as "Horror" on many websites and it most definitely IS NOT a horror film but a drama, with a little suspense mixed in. It felt very much like a Lifetime movie to me, which though somewhat entertaining, can often be just too tame for my taste. If you want a similar evil child movie, with a lot more suspense and plot twists, I suggest seeing "Orphan"...much more original and disturbing.
Siamois Hurt is the classic story of a somewhat dysfunctional family taking in a new young member and from that point, things go wrong. Several movies have followed this basic formula but what makes Hurt slightly special is that director Barbara Stepansky wraps this film in drama and mystery. Just what is going on in this family, who is responsible for what?Unfortunately, Stepansky's attempts to hold out on us are only frustrating, as the "revelations" that come later are not satisfying or surprising to us. As for the dramatic side of this story, I appreciated the attempt but the direction, writing and cast were poor enough that it was impossible to be emotionally involved in his mess.I still applaud the attempt to mix a traditional horror/thriller Hollywood plot with an indie drama. Some of the shots were nice and the soundtrack (not the film score) was interesting and provided some mood. But in the end, this film is a mess.
scaryoutcome1 okay! First of this is just your average Been there, done that Evil child movie.In my opinion its just The omen and The orphan rip/off.The acting well the Acting is below par at the best of times. the only one that makes an effort is the daughter. the psycho child, which i wouldn't really say is psycho, more of a child with issue's after the death of her father and the bullying in the orphanage comes across as lonely child and doesn't have the chemistry to make the viewers feel scared or terrified.this is more of a story driven movie, nd doesn't really have much tension like a horror is supposed to..at best this is more thriller than horror and more drama than thriller.I wouldn't watch this with high hopes and expect gore galore.At best i can only give this 3/10 The first 30-40 minutes was too drawn out and can be very boring so don't expect a high tech thriller.
