Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

utahman1971 Good movie but what is the NR for? This is nothing close to Hellraiser: Hellbound. Just showing blood is not that gory to me. Usually Not Rated or Unrated is over the top gore, and this is just a horror movie that should be just R rating. I can't believe people that make such a deal over tamed stuff.This girl is hot and tries to audition for a horror movie role. Oh well, people want to say this movie is gory, then they need to get out more. This is really tame for gore. Even what is even listed under gore on this site, is tame, but says 10/10 on it. No way.Only the bad language is making this movie higher than a PG-13. I can't stand what people say when it comes to wrong information on a movie. So what if I sound like an over the top gore freak but I rather see that than a tamed up movie that is boring, like a lot of so called horror fans trying to be fans and hate the gore.Pretty darn mellow, boring, and slow is all I can say, but for normal movie.

James Purcell Movies that take an hour to get interesting (yes I timed it, no I'm not exaggerating) are just not watchable. I like character development in movies. I require character development in movies. This wasn't time required for character development. This was unnecessarily long and drawn out, and boring. There was never a point in this movie where I was like "this is good. This is a good use of my time. I am interested." There wasn't. It was always "this has got to capture my interest at some point, right?"Check out my reviews for other movies. If you agree with my other reviews, watch something else. Coherence is awesome.

Takeshi-K Alex Essoe is a really good actress and she was brilliant in this. This move delves into the sometimes morally vague and downright bad things people feel forced to do in order to achieve their dreams of fortune and fame. This movie is better than most "seedy underbelly of Hollywood" type tales. It is better than The Last Tycoon (starring a young Bobby De Niro) and infinitely superior to the superficially pretty but bland and unrewarding Neon Demon. The plot is sort of predictable, but the performances and direction is really excellent, so that doesn't matter. I really liked it. There are lot of unprofessional and immoral demands on actresses that go unsaid and there should be more films like this.

chicagopoetry For those who have been complaining that American horror hasn't kept up with European or Japanese Horror, well, how about Starry Eyes? It's equal parts Martyrs and Audition. It doesn't really make a lick of sense but the acting is so good and the tension is so high, who gives a care? It's really not as graphic and violent as others have let on, but since the tension builds so effectively during the first two thirds of the film, the violence of the last act just seems over the top, and that's a pretty cool accomplishment. I'm giving this a ten because it's a masterpiece of horror. How I didn't even hear about it until two years after its release is beyond me but whatever.
