rojito23 "We need to get rid of the body!" It is at this exact point in the movie, right after that line is said, that everyone who was watching burst out laughing. It doesn't make any sense. I'll call that the breaking point. I can break this movie down into three parts. What happens before the breaking point, after the breaking point and then the ending. The first part of the movie basically consisted of a bunch of nothing happening. An hour of a guy who supposedly has " a thousand things to do" but really doesn't do much of anything. You meet his neighbor who is somewhat humorous and the only reason I didn't fall asleep. Also some nudity for no apparent reason except to keep the men watching awake. It really seems like you are watching what happens in between the "action". I also need to mention that whoever did the soundtrack to this movie must have been like 12 years old. Very odd music. somewhat porno sounding. and it is Always playing! After the breaking point, it turned into a bunch of bad movie clichés. They do and say stuff so ridiculous that you just have to laugh! The third part is the ending which tries to save the movie. The ending is actually good enough for me not to rate this a 1. But besides The Sixth Sense, I'm not a fan of M. Night Shyamalan type movies. (Bore you to tears for over an hour and a half and then try a surprise to save the movie.) But it did explain some things and the very last scenes cleared up some confusion. I wouldn't recommend this. Completely boring!
chrichtonsworld After reading some of the comments given here I am beginning to think that I have seen another movie. I understand that this is a independent low budget movie. So what. Only for this fact people are praising this movie. At least that is the impression I am getting. A higher budget for this movie wouldn't matter much since "Blur" seems to be depending on the story and not style or special effects. I think thrillers (in particular) have to be judged on plot and creativity. In "Blur" the plot seems to be going in a lot of directions without an actual goal. This is obviously to mislead you. Nothing wrong with this as long there are subtle hints for us to find out what is going on. In here lies the problem. We only get one perspective and that is from the main character. So we automatically assume that what he sees is actually happening. Not once we get a clue from other characters that something is wrong with him. The only thing that is said that he is paranoid. I did had my doubts on Adrien's behavior,but could not make out if it was scripted or bad acting. The surprising twist really comes out of nowhere and only in the epilogue it gets explained. This has got to be one of the worst twists I have ever seen. Come on how could I accept it without a single clue given in advance. This is not being creative. It's laziness. And why is this movie being called a horror movie. There are no supernatural elements involved. Apart from a scare or two and the main character who believes he is a psychic there is nothing going on. This movie has been very disappointing and certainly is not worth watching.
b-kunwar I didn't really like this movie that much except until the end. The fact I didn't like it was because I dread horror movies. However, I think it was also the characters that failed to convince me. It was a typical low budget movie. When you hear the characters cry, it seems quite raw and hard to swallow, so I guess, that part was interesting. I feel that this movie could have been better in a number of ways. It could have had more budget firstly and the length of the movie could have been shorter. It leaves you with an empty feeling at the end because the masked character isn't revealed. It is actually relieving at the end to have the troubled character dead as it assures you that no more people will be hurt. Anyway, it is watchable but don't expect to be too impressed as the other reviews seem to imply.
elmariachi33 Although I was sketchy while first recommended via NetFlix, I decided to check it out. Let me first say, I am a HUGE Nicole Rayburn fan, I think she is highly underrated and i will watch anything she is in. Yes, I've seen "Candy Stripers" and "Boo!" The film starts out with this great title sequence showing these great art pieces... with vivid vibrant colors. We then are taken into the art infused work of Adrian Jonas, who is painting one of his pieces in preparation for his big show in SoHo. The day takes a turn for the worst when Adrian has a vision that something bad is going to happen.The film is not what I expected, i seriously thought I was going to be watching a bad horror movie, with bad acting and bad dialog. I was pleasantly surprised when I was proved wrong.The film is both intelligent and intriguing. I was taken into this world of this artist who could possibly be on the verge of something extremely creative or extremely terrifying.It almost felt documentary-style. Almost like I was peaking into someone's private life, where I shouldn't be. Salvatore Xuereb was just astonishing, he really took the role to the next level and gave you such a great feeling. Wendy Carter was also great as the wife who may be in danger. Jana Kolesarova was a true gem and a surprise when she came onto screen. She really was the true standout for me personally. And of course, Nicole Rayburn was my personal favorite. I hope this girl does more, I really enjoy her.At the end of this film, I was in shock. I couldn't believe what I just saw and I was blown away. After second viewing, I pieced more information together and I was extremely excited and enthusiastic.I would recommend this film to everyone. This is a film that you want to talk about after you've seen it.
