Movie Reviews

Bloody Disgusting - 7/10 by Brad MiskaThe blend of sound design, score and editing is what made the film as suspenseful as it was. Holding the frame for the perfect amount of time is a science and doing it correctly can make or break the final cut of a film.
Dread Central - 7/10 by Johnny ButaneYes, you'll see some of the many twists coming a mile or so away, but there are others that aim to blindside, and do a damn fine job of it.
User Review - 8/10 by Carlos II want to start with a disclaimer before we get into things. "Sympathy" is not going to be for all audiences. It is a very low budget movie, and it shows. If you're looking for a glossy Hollywood thriller, with cookie cutter characters, and a nauseatingly happy ending, you're going to want to put this one back on the shelf. If your trousers become a little shorter at the thought of discovering an unnoticed masterpiece amongst the plethora of blah, you might want to pay attention. "Sympathy," in it's entirety, takes place in one hotel room. After a bank robbery that we're not witnessed to, Trip (played by Steven Pritchard) has taken Sara (played by Marina Shtelen) hostage. Trip cuffs Sara to the bed while he maps out a path to Canada, where he intends to catch a plane. After a quick trip out, trip returns to an unexpected visitor, and so the insanity begins. I have to say, even though it's fairly obvious that the film was made on a near nonexistent budget, I enjoyed the look that they accomplished. Sure, it looks cheap, but it looks grainy, and it manages to feel like the exploitation flicks that it's partially paying homage to. If you had asked me about the acting fifteen minutes into the movie, I would have told you that it was just so-so. As the movie progresses, you get a sense for what they're aiming for, and the acting makes sense, and by the end, I was actually pretty impressed. For a cast and crew of virtual unknowns, it's quite an achievement. Particularly well in her role, was Marina Stelen as Sara. At first she's annoying, then the character grows on you, and by the end, you're completely sucked in by her performance. The camera work is nothing short of amazing. Even though they're limited to one hole-in-the-wall hotel room, they manage to capture the madness from every conceivable angle, and more. One particularly appealing technique on display here is the split screen, made famous by the television series 24, only instead of showing you what two separate people are doing at the same time, we're treated with multiple angles of the same scene. Multiple angles of struggling, squirming, and bleeding. It's something that wasn't necessary to advance the story, but serves extremely well at leaving a lasting impression. "Sympathy" is the perfect blend of a Hitchcockian thriller, and a straight up exploitation film. It does a perfect job at keeping you guessing, while serving up a few moments of pure splatter. If this is what first time director Andrew Moorman was going for, he's definitely hit his mark. Sympathy, as you can tell by the title of this review, is a film from 2007, but it didn't get picked up for distribution until this year. Thankfully, Vicious Circle, and Breaking Glass Pictures took a chance on this one, otherwise it might have never seen the light of day. Eight severed thumbs out of 10!
User Review - 8/10 by Jason DIn the HIGHLY unique and original Sympathy, we are quickly introduced to reckless bank robber Steven Pritchard, whose just arrived at a seedy motel room alongside new-found hostage Marina Shtelen. The two hole up in the room for the night, and already they are at each other's throats. It's not long before another mysterious person joins their motel room; escaped convict Aaron Boucher, whose much more sinister and darker side takes over and forces an every man (and woman) for themselves dilemma. For the duration of the film, the three play several mind games on each other, leading from one twist to another, thus ultimately resulting in no one really being who they seem to be. First off, Sympathy is a TRUE, fantastic venture into low-budget filmmaking. Thought it's confined to three simple actors in one single location throughout the entire movie, it doesn't stop the movie from being 100% intense and suspenseful (a la Hitchcock) the entire way through. Kudos to the three actors for (gasp!) turning in top-notch performances, as well as clever, professional direction from debuting director (would've never guessed) Andrew Moorman. Great job to script writer Arik Martin, whose clever adaption of his play is tough as nails and carries over onto film very well, in fact, MUCH better than the somewhat similar play-to-movie set in a motel room "Bug". I fully expect to be hearing great, great things about these 5 extraordinary people. I strongly urge anyone in the mood for a smart, psychological horror/thriller to check out Sympathy. Definitely NOT recommended for morons.
