Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Bob 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.

Andy Van Scoyoc Yet another disappointing use of what was obviously a pretty well budgeted film.Started out, great...then became juvenile, then went to just plain, bad.It's bad when you actually want the people in the film, dead, because they were stupid, did exactly what they weren't supposed to do and then ultimately ended up getting what they deserved. Harsh? Yep...but I can't begin to tell you how angry it makes me when a budget is so wasted...when it didn't need to be.Potential wasted...story that could have been executed much better...and yeah...not even worth watching, unless you have nothing better to do.

iamtherobotman OK, so the actual premise of this was OK and thats where the positives end i'm afraid. From the moment their car got a brick dropped through the Windscreen this thing sank faster than the Titanic. Once they were captured and locked up there was nothing to suggest any kind of Timeframe. I honestly thought they'd only been locked up for a day and they were ready to eat anything. Then all of a sudden the perpetrator goes to the cafe and low and behold here's an investigator looking for our missing Teens and we're then informed they went missing a MONTH ago. No signs were given that any time had passed, it always seemed to be Daylight, never was it dark. The main protagonist must have the slowest growing stubble in the history of Mankind as his growth NEVER got any longer. The only sign that time passed at all was their clothes getting a bit more grubby and her hair becoming slightly more tangled. The acting was comical, the plot had more holes than a sieve, the script was unbelievably awful. I realise this was made on a budget - they probably got paid in burgers ironically but that is really no excuse for any film being so rancidly bad as this. One character who was portrayed as the champion as he'd killed so many people looked as though he'd last eaten 2 minutes ago as opposed to being starved to near death for God knows how many Months. In fact the only one who looked near starvation was the female lead, though she looked so from scene one and never at any point looked any more so. I must say, i found it impressive their energy levels considering they'd been starved. This is awful on so many levels. It's worth a watch if you can't find any decent comedies, other than that, don't bother.

Rob Haskell This movie made me think in certain ways. The villains show that they have morals: while they are twisted, they have a code of conduct and whether they stick to this or not is something to pay attention to.Perhaps it is the straightforwardness of the movie that people hate, but the thing is, this movie is ***not*** predictable. People are mixing up these two concepts. The "plot" is easy to understand, but people judge this film almost like..... they want it to be confusing?? The film throws many scenes at us where we cannot be certain of the outcome. There are even a few twists, and I cannot say more about this without giving away my favorite part of the movie. Believe in the characters, and YOU will *not* be the one getting surprised. The movie starts out portraying the characters as very run-of-the- mill, very typical people, but that quickly fades away when they fail to live up to the average horror film stock characters. These are heroes, not the shabby type to scream their lungs out and freeze in fear until they are brutally stabbed, etc. These people FIGHT for their lives and I admire that. I think this is a GREAT, and I mean GREAT movie to watch as a couple, because their teamwork is incredible and really peaks towards the end. They also do very well on their own, and this is backed up in the story. These are VICTIMS, but they are not HELPLESS.The characters are developed. It bothers me that people complain about the smaller roles, but the truth is, we don't need to know much about them for them to serve their purpose. They come and go as they should, and they all add an element to the story: whether it be hope, or dread. Just because plans don't always work does ***not*** mean that someone is useless!! God, people want the story to be so predictable, and this movie just isn't. That's why I loved this one. Anyways, the story is obviously told from the point of view of our main characters, so stop focusing on the importance of minor characters. There are a lot of them and that's the point. The villain has been doing these wicked things for a long time. That's the message and it gets through to us. The only other thing I can say without spoiling too much is that by the end of the movie, these characters are fully addressed. (Watch until after the credits.)The villains have depth. People say their background is cheesy but it's absolutely not. There are hugely acclaimed horror movies like Silence of the Lambs, which put *no* effort into explaining WHY the bad guys do what they do (iirc, but I know movies like this exist.) but this one makes sense. I'd be p1ssed too if I was in the guy's shoes, and I'd probably want to take it out on the world. Doesn't that sound like the perspective a bad guy should be coming from? The telling of his story fits in with the plot perfectly, looping back to the very first couple of scenes.I will say that there were a very small number of parts that did not quite hit the mark, which is why I can only give this movie an 8/10 rating. Here is a spoiler, and while reading this won't ruin the movie for you, it will reveal bits and pieces. There is an undercover cop-like lady who tries to rescue the victims. Her acting is ***very*** bad. She dragged down this movie from 9 to 8, and I feel very strongly about that. Be ready to laugh at her scene and just take it with a grain of salt.I loved this movie. If you're the type that feels like they've seen it all, and you want something both **original** and **good**, with characters that can stand on their own two legs, watch this one.

Ryan Swartz I saw this movie recently during my usual Halloween movie binging last month. Caught this movie on the SyFy Channel. Honestly I wasn't expecting much but was disturbingly surprised it was really good. It was a surprisingly"tasty" Halloween treat in a candy basket of the usual re-runs and underwhelming low budget movies airing on TV during Halloween time. Overall was interesting, entertaining, scary, and kept me engaged. If you like scary, suspenseful, disturbing movies then you should check it out if you can find it. Looks like it will air on Syfy a couple more times in December when I searched their schedule today. Overall a tasty scary treat that leaves you hungry for more.
