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.

I saw this movie, despite the reviews, because 1) Netflix in Norway has run out of horrors, and 2) Apple in Norway has run out of horrors as well. I was disappointed. It started out nicely with a couple of well-shaped ladies in bikinis. But from there it just went downhill. No more bikinis to speak of, and no horror or gore.Mind you, the cover shot that made me rent this, a lady that appears to have halfway eaten an octopus, is nowhere to be seen in this movie. You'll see something that appears to be lobster legs from the mouth of a fat guy, in the shadow, but that's about it.The acting is extraordinarily bad. Except, maybe, from the guy who looks like he is from India or something.I can assure you that I will never watch this movie again. And I watch most movies at least twice.

First- I'm sure Friends and Family put 10 stars, but they are just as crazy as the people that made this movie..... This movie stinks.Didn't walk out on it, but really would have liked too.I thought the acting was a joke. The directors need better sense of who they put in their film. Low budget and all, there is no excuse for "i'm reading from my lines and reading 1 word at a time". Wasn't there actors from a film school or a drama club you could have hired?Horrible and I wouldn't recommend this. I would give it 2 thumbs down and only that because I ran out of thumbs.Do yourself a favour and use your money for something else.The script is terrible and there is no direction. The only good thing about this movie was the ending when the screen went black. Can't say anything else about this horrible movie or else I would have to relive it.

"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.
