Sensored Trailers

A children's book illustrator inhabits a twilight world of shifting reality and illusion, where cruelty and rampant evil do battle with his better instincts, and sanity is a question of perception.

Reviews
Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Leofwine_draca What an uneventful little film this was. I admit that the plot description makes it sound interesting, but in execution it's just yet another 'torture porn' spin-off from either SAW or HOSTEL, featuring people being tied up and tortured by a psycho. You have to feel for former STAR TREK actor Robert Picardo, being caught up in such a cheap and uneventful movie.I do enjoy B-movies as long as they're interesting, but SENSORED never is. The whole story is told in flashback with a twist or two that will be obvious from the outset. It's dim, murky, and exceptionally non-entertaining, with half the soundtrack just consisting of people screaming throughout. You just don't care about the characters despite the twists and turns of the plotting, which makes this a chore to sit through.
begob A middle aged man tells the tale of his evil doings, and then someone else tells us what it's really all about.Very well shot and directed, and the actors all give good performances. You can spot early on the trick that's being played, but it gives no idea where it's headed, so all the surreal scenes that follow demand full concentration to figure out the direction of play.But there's no real direction, because it's just one long flashback on a fantasy world. The hero does decide to change, but there's nothing fundamental about it, nothing in the drama that makes it click. I found it unresolved, and felt confused over the distinction he draws between Amanda and Gail - I know Amanda was a character, but I couldn't figure out who she was, and I guess there's a play on the name. Then there's the walk-away ending, with no satisfaction.It's engaging, but not the full shilling. I see both director and writer got into TV after this.
tobyyoung I was expecting a slightly more intelligent version of Saw/Hostel but was even more pleasantly surprised to find this dark and thought-provoking independent movie was much more complex. As the character of Wade (Robert Picardo) is introduced to us and we observe his rituals, obsessions and the cruelties that fill his life we are drawn deeper into a psychotic world of stupefying sterility.To say very much more would be to spoil the film for the viewer as you need to go along on the journey with the writer, director and actors and discover the story for yourself.It is a terrible shame more people haven't seen this film so far and I hope it becomes the cult classic it deserves to be. Robert Picardo is magnificent in the lead role - dry, intelligent, riven with internal strife and somehow like the characters in Beckett of a David Lynch movie, completely beyond his own control; scripted in some divine and diabolic way that runs the razor edge of insanity.Not a popcorn movie but a must see definitely!
intke I just saw this movie at the Sacramento Film Festival and I must say that I really enjoyed it. I think I went through every emotion at least once. Brian Hamm, director of photography did a phenomenal job. Robert Picardo played an excellent role. Great job on the script by Kevin Haskin. I believe this was Ryan Todds first time directing a feature length film and he did not disappoint! I heard this movie was shot in about three weeks, thats amazing! I'm really looking forward to the DVD release to get a peek at the behind the scenes footage. From the Q and A session that the cast did last night, it sounds like the art/set team section is going to be really good. I definitely recommend you see this movie.
