Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Leofwine_draca What an uneventful little film this was. I admit that the plot description makes it sound interesting, but in execution it's just yet another 'torture porn' spin-off from either SAW or HOSTEL, featuring people being tied up and tortured by a psycho. You have to feel for former STAR TREK actor Robert Picardo, being caught up in such a cheap and uneventful movie.I do enjoy B-movies as long as they're interesting, but SENSORED never is. The whole story is told in flashback with a twist or two that will be obvious from the outset. It's dim, murky, and exceptionally non-entertaining, with half the soundtrack just consisting of people screaming throughout. You just don't care about the characters despite the twists and turns of the plotting, which makes this a chore to sit through.
begob A middle aged man tells the tale of his evil doings, and then someone else tells us what it's really all about.Very well shot and directed, and the actors all give good performances. You can spot early on the trick that's being played, but it gives no idea where it's headed, so all the surreal scenes that follow demand full concentration to figure out the direction of play.But there's no real direction, because it's just one long flashback on a fantasy world. The hero does decide to change, but there's nothing fundamental about it, nothing in the drama that makes it click. I found it unresolved, and felt confused over the distinction he draws between Amanda and Gail - I know Amanda was a character, but I couldn't figure out who she was, and I guess there's a play on the name. Then there's the walk-away ending, with no satisfaction.It's engaging, but not the full shilling. I see both director and writer got into TV after this.
fonix232 I had doubts about the quality of the movie when I first sat down to watch it. And the beginning was really boring, up to the point when we begin switching with the dreamworld and the real world. The growing tension was solved in an amazing way, always revealing something more, yet not too much, to keep up the secrecy. Acting on every end is brilliant. Robert Picardo comes with his usual classy coldness, combined with the feeling man. I'm not familiar with David Fine's previous acting career, but he was just perfect for the role. Jeffrey's character actually told more about the real happenings all along the movie than the narrating.The ending though, was too detailing. It was kind of obvious that Lucas is Wade, then that Darren is Wade too. Jeffrey's father character was a bit suggested (letter-tearing scene), and confirmed about at the middle of the movie. But the final scene, Wade killing the therapist, then taking off to the bus stop, was really unexpected. Final word: nice mind-twisting movie with a pinch of brutalism. Combine Saw with Inception, slow it down to half-speed, and you get Sensored.
tobyyoung I was expecting a slightly more intelligent version of Saw/Hostel but was even more pleasantly surprised to find this dark and thought-provoking independent movie was much more complex. As the character of Wade (Robert Picardo) is introduced to us and we observe his rituals, obsessions and the cruelties that fill his life we are drawn deeper into a psychotic world of stupefying sterility.To say very much more would be to spoil the film for the viewer as you need to go along on the journey with the writer, director and actors and discover the story for yourself.It is a terrible shame more people haven't seen this film so far and I hope it becomes the cult classic it deserves to be. Robert Picardo is magnificent in the lead role - dry, intelligent, riven with internal strife and somehow like the characters in Beckett of a David Lynch movie, completely beyond his own control; scripted in some divine and diabolic way that runs the razor edge of insanity.Not a popcorn movie but a must see definitely!
