I love Kevin Bacon, but Hollywood has got to STOP pairing men with women 30 years younger than them. It's sickening, Bacon was almost 30 when Seyfried was born. What's wrong with these people?! Has David Koepp some sort of wierd fetish? Do we need to worry?
Everything I expected from an horror movie in 2022 and more! The main female protagonist is well written, has strenght and weaknesses, the movie is anchored in our patriarcal society, it has strong views and adapted answers for the rape mentality, the horror is brutal and bloody but not overwhelmingly "gore" and it's wrapped inside two (actually three) well-written stories that are believable and true to life. It's not movie of the year by any mean but it's a solid, well-rounded piece of cinema that mixes "classic horror" with 21st century values, and the actors are all credible. I recommend.
That was... aweful and yet thrilling. Unbelievable and hard to describe. The unease by excellence.
Refreshing after a few bad movies, there are some really good puns. I regret that the women are viewed as something to be conquered torough the whole movie, though
Being a parody of a paper RPG doesnt exonerate from being good at plots. I guessed the ending after a few minutes, which isn't good. It's saved by the incredible actress playing the witch and the constant puns, altough previsible still funny enough
A good idea but could be better lead, acting was on point and the atmosphere very acute.
Not especially bad but not the best movie ever: I found it quite poorly written and not "true" to the original material. But there are some good ideas, even though that doesn't suffise to make a good movie.
That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works. Sadly they couldn't bother to hire a programmer to explain how a game or a server work...
Don't believe the trailer. The trailer is a lie: that's not at all what happens in the movie. And don't watch it.
What a glorious performance of Catherine Frot. Unbelievable story and touching realization. I had a great time!
I haven't seen any "other" Stanford experiment, I barely heard of it in a Sociology lecture a few years back, so my view pretty much is only about this movie, these actors and this very movie.
And I really liked it. It's tense, it's tough, and I genuinly felt bad for everyone in this experiment: the prisonners, the guards, and the scientists behind it.
I would have liked a follow up on Ezra, though, to know if it was a fake or if he really did mean what he was saying.
I recommend it!
I lasted 8 minutes. Couldn't go further. It's dubbed in french, with (bad) voiceovers and no lip sync. I think I've heard at least 150 insults & swearwords in those 8 minutes. The scenes take forever, everything is slow, and it doesn't even look good.
My my... After I heard on french TV that it was a "fantastic movie", that got badly recieved in Marocco, with the lead actress being bullied and attacked in the streets because of she's playing a prostitute (something apparently not ok in Marocco), I thought "well 4/10 is maybe just some pissed of north-african leaving bad reviews"... but no.
It is bad. It doesn't even deserves 4/10 in my opinion.
Fly, you fools.
Thinking about watching this? Just don't.
