CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Leofwine_draca THE CORRUPTED is a typical cabin-in-the-woods style indie horror flick, shot at a rural lakeside location in Canada. It's an example of the result that occurs when an indie director tries to incorporate Lovecraftian plot elements into his no-budget feature. Half of it is padded out with the usual rigmarole of characters hanging around at their retreat while there's the occasion scene of horror and bad FX. It's largely dull and not worth your time.
Paul Magne Haakonsen This was amateurish at best. And that is actually putting it nicely. I had happened to stumble upon the movie by random luck, so I gave it a chance. I had no expectations to this movie, so it had every possible chance to dazzle and impress me, but that was not to be.But honestly, then it is an hour and twelve minutes wasted, time that could and should have been spent elsewhere. Not only is "The Corrupted" a boring movie, but it is also unfathomably slow paced, which just added to the agony.The story in "The Corrupted" is about a group of young people who go to a remote lakeside cabin for a getaway and to party. But strange events quickly put an abrupt end to what was supposed to be fun and good times.But it just didn't pan out to anything even remotely worthwhile. And it ended up as being a goofy movie at best.The acting was adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie it is and the level of production value. Well, aside from Shawn Tisdale (playing D.J. Nightrider), wow, he was just abysmal.You should take heed of the language in this movie, it is filled with obscenities and the f-Word is present in every second line uttered. Just a heads up if you should be sensitive to foul language and plan to watch "The Corrupted"."The Corrupted" is a low budget movie that has borrowed way too much from "Evil Dead".It is not worth the time or effort. I suffered through this so you don't have to!
GaryCarter8 "The Corrupted" is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.The dialogue is clunky and unnatural. The acting is stiff. The film is poorly paced.I respect the attempt by these amateur filmmakers to get something in the can, but this is an abysmal effort. The movie lacks any thematic structure. Instead, there are simple-minded and poorly developed attempts to explore what it means to be human.The plot is simple yet meandering. The characters are so poorly written that you can barely tell them apart, especially in the case of the females, who also look alike.It's an unoriginal idea that is horribly executed.
winterheart-792-969149 I attended the private screening in Edmonton of this film and, to be honest, went in with low expectations since I had heard it was a very low budget film made with a local crew and local talent. Perhaps I just don't have much faith in Edmonton and surrounding area but for whatever reason, I didn't expect much. To my (and my wife's) surprise, The Corrupted was a well made, and well scripted film that held my interest throughout it's 75 minutes.Because of the low budget, the special effects weren't terribly realistic but it was easy to look past that and concentrate on what the filmmakers were trying to convey. The dialogue moved the story along well and the screenwriters were able to make a few philosophical discussions throughout the movie without boring the audience.While not all of the cast will move on to bigger things, most of the main actors performed their parts admirably and, assuming they can rise above the local scene, have bright futures ahead of them. The ending sets up an obvious sequel so I really hope this film makes enough money to warrant producing a second film.All too often, low budget, entirely independent films are simply not good for more reasons than just not having enough money to do more. The Corrupted is an enjoyable movie regardless of its budget and I imagine the filmmakers have a successful career ahead of them.
