Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
modelmode Freaky Faron starts off well, or at least it belies it's obviously low budget with an interesting premise behind it's main character. Unfortunately It ends up feeling as though it was written by one of it's young cast members. If that had been the case, I would have thought it an excellent first effort. Alas, no. I can't hate Freaky Faron. It wasn't good, but I can't hate it. The acting was emotionless for the most part (less a fault of the actors and more a fault of the script and direction), but I don't think the premise should be abandoned. With a budget, cast, and some (a lot) of plot development, I really think it might make a great TV series or at least a better movie.
steversmith Of my friends who saw this movie, the range of acceptance was all over the scale; a true "love/OK/hate" movie. I loved it because it was very well filmed and edited, a film that has potential as a true "film class" staple in colleges worldwide. Others found it slow and boring. Here is a film that all future directors must see, but not all casual movie viewers will enjoy it. It had a classic 1940-1950's style suspense on the lines of Hitchcock classics and "Casablanca" and "The Maltese Falcon", not the modern aphoristic process, no business as usual here!!! It was also awash in young actors, which can deceive some people into thinking it is a child's movie, but it is not, it is suitable and I say designed for the mature film buff. A very good job on a very low budget, a great work.
horseradish_bw I cannot agree with previous reviewers of this image. This is definitely not a brilliant movie, however it wasn't that bad. It's not also good enough to give it 8 stars (in my opinion only). Some people gave it only one star :/ I have no idea why... The screenplay had lot of possibilities some of them were wasted some were not. Main character was really nicely played. It wasn't an Oscar creation but still was quite good. The best thing was the mood of this movie, a little bit in Donnie Darko style. It was dark, static and strange (however i must say Donnie Darko was much better). Most important thing is that it's not a movie for everyone. I mean if you are a sf fan with desire to see spectacular CG effects you will be disappointed. There are no CG effects at all...well there are no special effects too (even standard camera tricks). The movie itself could be a little bit longer and maybe (just maybe) it could have a different ending. After last scene I got the feeling that CD1 ended an i'm waiting for CD2 to start :) Anyway the ending was supposed to tell us something (unfortunately i missed it). However I can understand the creators, after all the ending wasn't that senseless. This is a kind of budget movie so beware of huge Avatar like expectations. I recommend this movie to all fans of more independent type of pictures. I really enjoyed it. I'm also pretty sure that with more money (Hollywood amounts), little review of script (different ending and some more background plot lines) huge dose of hype (see Twilight Saga ;), better camera work (see Black Howk Down ;)and really famous director (doesn't matter which one) it would be a real blockbuster.
jnijhoff Not sure how this movie is at a 7.5/10 at the moment. My guess is all 11 voters have worked on the project.And the first person to comment on this movie is talking about a Horror movie. Well, there is nothing horror about it - besides the camera work and acting that is.It's basically a Thriller, with some small sci-fi elements (in the story, not special effects).The beginning is fine, and opens a lot of possibilities for a good movie, but it never gets better, only worse.Avoid this movie when you can.
