All I have to say is that this movie is very underrated, as I am seeing the Box Office... (15 mill. budget, 3 mill. box office). First of all, the story, altho nothing breathtaking, is unique at least. Second of all, it's been long since we've seen a classic slash/horror movie that lives to the definition SLASH/HORROR. Third, the style is beautiful, dark atmosphere, quite dialog, gothic colours. The acting cast is on point with the story, altho I have never seen Bradley Cooper in a role like this, which works out pretty well in the end ( actually, he should try and do more roles like this one, it suites him pretty well). The only down side for me is the ending, which lost me a bit, altho it's a logical one, since the meat could not be found anywhere. 6-7/10 Worth a watch.
If you like gore, you will be served. Some scenes are obvious CGI, still it should satisfy someone who likes that and have others look away a few time.The photography is great and fits really well with this type of movie, although we might feel the director tries too hard some times. But on overall, it's great.But the story is bad. The pace is way too slow. The characters act and react in stupid ways and are not very likable; We don't really relate to them. The ending is deceiving, even if you don't see it coming. I've read other reviews explaining the short story the movie was based on and, even if I did not read it, the short story seems to make more sense than the movie script. They should've spent more time explaining the why of the ending than putting useless filler scenes during the movie.Sadly, the negatives overcome the positives for this movie.
I was intrigued by this film's impressive cast, noting Bradley Cooper (Oscar Nominee American Sniper, Silver Linings Playbook) as a particularly layered and emotive artist in his later work. Not only did it have an impressive cast, but it was free on Netflix as well. Free + Bradley Cooper = worth a try. Between the grind-house style violence and the irreconcilable plot, I was left in disappointment with this piece. The exposition is handled well, with Cooper, Roger Bart (The Producers, American Gangster) and Leslie Bibb (Iron Man, Talladega Nights) building a cute albeit superficial triangle of romantic and friendly relationships. What showed initial promise quickly dove into a tailspin with what seemed to be an abridged plot line, making jumps and leaps that were as sporadic as they were unfulfilling. This film is not worth your time. If you're craving grind-house, you can find it elsewhere. If your craving character development and engaging story fulfillment, you certainly won't find it here.
It says "Horror Mystery", but the only mystery here is, how the hell did they get Bradley Cooper and Brooke Shields to play in it. This could be easily the beginning of an ending of his career. The only one who fits in that movie, is Vinnie Jones. Especially because there are no lines for him to speak. The real horror is the acting of Leslie Bibb, but it could be the script forcing her to act slow and dumb. If you know you will miss on 20 feet, you don't go hunting, right?! It's simply a slasher movie of strong bloody gruesome unnecessary violence. Slow motion is really not helping and you will ask yourself "Who is cleaning up that mess?" Because the trains are definitely not usable anymore. And that ain't a spoiler, because it happens in the first couple minutes. Towards the end it is just a nauseating blood bath and I feel sorry for the people who enjoy detail views of extreme torture. This is not horror, this is just disgusting. Horror is subtle and gives you goosebumps and plays with your imagination. Because the special effects department can do it to make it look real, doesn't mean they should. And it definitely leaves no room for imagination. Every-time when they can't explain the disaster anymore and can't give you any reasonable answers of "why" and "what", - they come up with a lousy excuse for an ending. It will leave you with the head shaking and you will come to the conclusion that the excessive unnecessary sadistic part in it does not make any sense at all. The rating has to be a 1, only because there are no lower numbers.
