So two friends are roommates. One is a jerk; the other decent but a bro. The jerk starts acting odd, walking and behaving in his sleep, talking in Russian, etc. There is some subplot of the manager/owner of the apartment building that is under-funded of information and ideas to total to anything. There is something going on, but it's never fully explained leaving me and the movie without much point. Acting isn't bad but mediocre. The main character, decent bro, does well in carrying the film, but he doesn't have much to work with from the script. Not horrible to watch given the overall quality of the producrion, but it needed more development to elevate to something truly haunting.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my entire life. Everything about this movie is bad: acting, writing, pacing, costumes, even the music is bad. The protagonist is so unlikeable and all of the characters have absolutely zero depth to them. The film starts and ends abruptly with no explanation or context to the events that happen. It doesn't even give you a chance to be scared because you have no idea what's happening. The characters spend most of the movie on drugs, and I think the director also did the same. I would not recommend this movie to anyone for any reason other than to help them fall asleep.

This movie is SO godawful I had to make an account to write a review. I don't think I've ever seen a worse movie than this. LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS, more than half the movie is just them sitting around doing drugs, and like 5 mins out of the film is focused on "spooky stuff". My friend and I eventually gave up on it a little more than halfway into the movie and skipped through about the last half hour, and it still looked like literally nothing happens except for like the last 2 mins. Not the mention the TERRIBLE acting, No story at all, as far as I know nothing is explained. Pure trash. Whoever made this needs to rethink their careers.

First, I'm so glad I didn't look at the reviews before I started because I really don't think it deserves such a low rating. I actually enjoyed this movie for the first hour or so & was excited it was so short. No unnecessary fluff. But then I realized it's so short because it doesn't have an ending. Not one that's at all satisfying it resolves anything. Pros: i was really intrigued by this psychic connection that was supposedly happening. Why is this girl being held hostage? Why do they have a connection? What does this mean?! Such potential. I actually enjoyed some of the writing here. I actually laughed a few times, it's really not bad like some people are saying. Cons: there's no final act. It ends with a scene that wraps nothing up at all, no questions answered, and frankly more questions than I came in with. Overall, so much potential on a tight budget, but just didn't follow through. It's short so not a huge commitment lost, but it left me wanting more and not in the way you'd want.

Insomnium is a special kind of film. A film where you get to see exactly what you want out of a bad movie: earnest, unlikable characters, 4 actors, one location and a budget spent on 2 sets of contact lenses. Nothing of note happens in this movie but so many amazing THINGS happen: Ouija pronounced "wee-jah!" Old men cast as young men Excessive toxic masculinity Excessive substance abuse Excessive repression of emotions Excessive over-exagerration Possibly one actor playing multiple characters but with hair-dye and bad accent. (You can't convince me these are different actors.) You get two great women: a too-horned-up gf and a helpful, if hysterical witch. The amazing dialogue is muttered toward the wall and it reads like a bot that watched only teen movies. The accents are vaguely foreignery. Keep your eyes peeled for the body-dragging scene! I really can't thank the director enough for the laughter you brought to my home. Would make a great double-feature with the slightly more abysmal FARM.

There are so many low reviews for what is a really good film (for the most part). I have rarely seen a movie with such realistic dialogue. The actor's lines are straight out of real life conversations without the overly dramatic slant of most horror films. And, just as surprisingly, the cliche-free direction keeps the characters actions totally believable. Not once does anyone do something blindingly stupid like go down into a darkened basement after hearing scary noises. Yet, the suspense builds like a slow boil. The acting is excellent all around. Unfortunately, this is all discounted by the terrible ending. Nothing gets explained or resolved. Otherwise, I would have given it two more stars.

Ho hum flick about a guy who becomes the target of an abusive neighbor. His eyes go funny and he becomes a sort of zombie/servant. The reactions and timing of the characters are ridiculous. I love me some horror and therefore have bought into the prerequisite that people act stupid in horror flicks but in this case it isn't worth it.

Just for the random signed Neil Diamond poster. That had me cracking up. Kudos. A plus for dumb props that make no sense. The rest.... take it or leave it.
