Very well executed

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

A different way of telling a story

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This indie horror actually showed potential but ruined any hope of it being a decent film due to awful pacing.This is one of those movies where nothing happens, nothing happens, nothing happens *Bam* everything happens in a short space of time annnnnd roll credits.Telling a story of a group of 20 somethings hanging out at a lake cabin who come under attack by an unknown force (Which is still pretty unknown after the credits have finished) A mix of decent acting and bad, decent sfx and awful this mixed bag simply didn't deliver despite showing promise.The Good: Couple of decent performances Idea wasn't terrible The Bad:Some bad acting Badly rushed Feels incomplete Things I Learnt From This Movie: A person throwing up is justification to shoot them Baby poop can make bears rabid, botulism bears!

This was amateurish at best. And that is actually putting it nicely. I had happened to stumble upon the movie by random luck, so I gave it a chance. I had no expectations to this movie, so it had every possible chance to dazzle and impress me, but that was not to be.But honestly, then it is an hour and twelve minutes wasted, time that could and should have been spent elsewhere. Not only is "The Corrupted" a boring movie, but it is also unfathomably slow paced, which just added to the agony.The story in "The Corrupted" is about a group of young people who go to a remote lakeside cabin for a getaway and to party. But strange events quickly put an abrupt end to what was supposed to be fun and good times.But it just didn't pan out to anything even remotely worthwhile. And it ended up as being a goofy movie at best.The acting was adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie it is and the level of production value. Well, aside from Shawn Tisdale (playing D.J. Nightrider), wow, he was just abysmal.You should take heed of the language in this movie, it is filled with obscenities and the f-Word is present in every second line uttered. Just a heads up if you should be sensitive to foul language and plan to watch "The Corrupted"."The Corrupted" is a low budget movie that has borrowed way too much from "Evil Dead".It is not worth the time or effort. I suffered through this so you don't have to!

This is not the greatest film in the world. It *is* very reminiscent of early Peter Jackson films (Bad Taste) and early Sam Raimi stuff. I can't help but be pretty excited about the growth of a new and interesting Canadian film scene that's got creative people involved in all the aspects. I'd like to see more - I'm hoping this is the first of many things to come from the folks responsible.It's an exercise, and I am really pleased that I decided to rent it. If you're looking for a finished, well funded, polished piece, go elsewhere. This is a diamond in the rough. Lots of fuller character stuff could be in it. Lots of better filming done, the girls could be a little differentiated, but face it, they're bloody differentiated from a lot of women I've seen on screen simply by the fact that they look natural.There are a lot of different horror tropes being tested out here. Deranged cop from Desperation, Lovecraft Things, Oddly Coloured Landscapes, Young People Screwing When You Know They Shouldn't, Ladies In The Water. Pretty neat stuff! And no sparkly vampires. It's a bit of a return to seventies horror films. Thumbs up.

"The Corrupted" is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.The dialogue is clunky and unnatural. The acting is stiff. The film is poorly paced.I respect the attempt by these amateur filmmakers to get something in the can, but this is an abysmal effort. The movie lacks any thematic structure. Instead, there are simple-minded and poorly developed attempts to explore what it means to be human.The plot is simple yet meandering. The characters are so poorly written that you can barely tell them apart, especially in the case of the females, who also look alike.It's an unoriginal idea that is horribly executed.
