Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Paul Magne Haakonsen When I found "Sociopathia" I had no idea what the movie was about, nor had I ever heard about it. But the movie's cover and the synopsis that I read seemed like the movie could actually be worth watching, especially if it was in the likes of the 2002 movie "May" or the 2009 "She's Crushed" movie.The movie starts out with excessive nudity, and that sort of set the movie as being just a bit too sleazy. And then it is followed up with some hilarious bad blood effect, which was so over the top that you just want to get up and find something else to watch.I decided to give "Sociopathia" a chance any way, because initial impressions might be put to shame at hands of directors and writers Ruby Larocca and Rich Mallery. I found myself very hard pressed in terms of interest and entertainment at the 35 minute marker, but continued on watching. But I gave up once I hit 50 minutes, then I just had enough of the movie."Sociopathia" continues on with pointless nudity in some scenes, and that would work out so much better if the women had actually worn just a bit more clothing. I am not a prude or anything, but the desire to showcase women's breasts does not make for a better movie. And there was also a bit too much focus on pointless lesbian sex scenes - but hey, that works more than well enough for certain people in the audience, of course. And the love-making scene that involved a knife was just downright idiotic.Now, I can't claim to be familiar with anyone on the cast list, so it was nice to see new faces and new talents in a movie. People were acting adequately according to the material they had to work with.Some of the characters portrayed in the movie were like cardboard cut outs of stereotypical characters seen in so many other movies. And that was sort of frustrating, because a proper character gallery would have spiced up the movie that much more.The movie does actually quickly get to the good stuff fairly quick, the horror and gory aspect of the movie, which is why we watch a movie such as this after all. So it is nice not having to wait for an hour while the movie builds up atmosphere and sets the scene. But after an initial sprint, then the movie sort of loses momentum and settles into a fairly monotonous trot, and the dialogue becomes dull and rather uninteresting."Sociopathia" is hardly an outstanding horror movie, and it doesn't come off as being particularly impressive. And it was the lack of pace and happenings that ultimately sent the movie down a steep hill. If you enjoy a good horror movie, then there most definitely are far better choices available then the 2015 "Sociopathia" movie.My rating of the movie settles on a less than mediocre 3 out of 10 stars. And this is most definitely not a movie that I will return to for finishing watching, much less watch a second time, because the movie just doesn't have any kind of depth or contents to support more than a single viewing - provided you get through the movie the first time.

Woodyanders Deranged and introverted, but still endearing kook Mara (a credible and sympathetic performance by the adorable Tammy Jean) has a job making props for movies. Things seem to pick up for Mara after she meets and falls for perky producer Kat (a winningly spunky portrayal by Asta Parades), but after their heated relationship falters Mara loses her already tenuous grasp on reality and goes off the murderous deep end.Directors Ruby Larocca and Rich Mallery do a sturdy and compelling job of astutely capturing Mara's unhinged state of mind (the scenes with Mara talking to various toys and the rotting bodies of her victims are genuinely creepy and unsettling), ground the macabre premise in a plausible everyday world, and deliver a satisfying smattering of tasty distaff nudity and steamy soft-core sex along with a handy helping of nasty gore. The crackling erotic tension between the attractive and enticing leads provides plenty of extra sizzle. However, this film's key triumph is the remarkable way it depicts Mara as a tragic and troubled person who evokes a complex mix of fear and pity from the viewer. Kudos are also in order for Jared Noe's crisp cinematography and Sean Burnell's shuddery score. A solid little fright flick.

quincytheodore The idea of psycho lady hunting attractive lesbian girls, among others, while performing risqué act might just be presentable enough for horror, although with such weak acting, repetitive plot and shifty production, "Sociopathia" is a lot of tacky cosmetic with any substance. The lead actress simply can't deliver the depth of character needed for a thriller. Meanwhile the supporting cast, in exception of one, looks more convincing as corpses than actual characters.It tries to deliver a perspective of the antagonist as she struggle with mental disorder, it also has the benefit of playing around artificial props which already have inherited creepiness about them. However, the performance from the entire cast can be sum up to either girls throwing tantrum or over zealously and superficially seductive. Things get worse when they scream at each other, it's borderline numbing at this point.It's also far from scary as well. This is nothing more than masked person randomly chopping people without any concrete plan. The chopping itself is utterly ridiculous, using overdose of blood even when she just pushes people or when the movies pulls off horror cliché of stupid victims flailing about at their last moments. This overblown proportion translates into the sensual scenes. Yes, let there be nudity aplenty.Granted, the ladies are admittedly attractive, in fact they are more effective when delivering no dialogue. The notion of living doll itself is sufficiently creepy. Asta Paredes as Kat is the better performer here, she exudes more personality than the rest, and her character is easily identifiable with one or two quirks. Still, the movie tends to revert back to silly style when it looks like it almost gains any momentum.It may have a few glints of horror potential and flashy cosmetics, but "Sociopathia" is simply lacking acting prowess and general presentation to be a decent horror.

nebk Sociopathia is a low budget horror starring a bunch of relatively unknown actors. Other than an interesting if misleading name the movie does not have much to offer. The movie follows the murderous exploits of Mara who is a movie prop maker, lesbian and a murderer. She doesn't want to let go of her lovers and ends up killing them, dressing them up and treating them like dolls and talking to them until she replaces them with someone else. To highlight the level of Mara's insanity her dolls often talk back and get jealous of her other relationships. She sadistically kills a few girls until she meets Kat, an up and coming movie producer who interests her and Mara finds herself falling for the girl. But to her dismay the relationship between her and Kat makes her dolls get more possessive and jealous. Or viewed differently, Mara becomes more unstable and imagines her dolls getting more possessive.The acting is relatively weak and the story never really goes anywhere. There is no real suspense as the identity of the killer is never in question. This might not be a point of contention though as the focus of the film might be Mara's further descent into insanity and possible redemption through a normal relationship with Kat. None of this matters though as the story is not captivating enough to keep the viewer interested to the end. There are scenes which are badly acted and could have been much better. There is a lot of female nudity and gory violence but this is not enough to keep the viewer interested in the thin and stretched story line. Overall a 3.5/10. Had some potential but it was wasted and in the end the movie is not really worth watching.
