Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Micitype Pretty Good
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
antares-18 stalked by creatures... where are those creatures? there's not a single creature in this movie (imdb plot description) i've to give you some spoilers to make you understand what this movie is all about; thora has psychological problems and in her nightmares she lives another life as a super hot dark girl (she should really stay like that). as movie progresses reality and nightmares gets closer and closer to each other and in the end you realize that this all or at least a big part of all was the reality and we were watching it, just from her perspective.putting all the pieces together is really hard, if thora was the murderer (both shrink and dark thora has a smashed fingernail so they are probably the same person) who was the blonde thora? someone completely else? was that guy dark thora's ex-lover and they part ways and she turn back and killed his wife (blonde thora)? either that or blonde one were also thora so we have a multiple personalities psyco here... i mean, in the end, shrink kills blonde thora, dark thora turns into blonde thora's husband and kills the shrink. dang, who is who?so it's that kind of a movie, it's surreal, it's psychological and it's not a movie where creatures stalking you and then killing you.
fedor8 There are two obvious reasons for the low IMDb average: 1) most filmgoers are lazy, non-thinking (even anti-thinking) morons, and 2) they didn't understand the ending. (1 and 2 are cause-and-effect linked, so both points can be unified into one Grand Reason or Theory Of Everything (That Makes The Daft Viewer Hate Quality).) DC is a relatively moody fantasy horror/thriller which may be utterly confusing hence exasperating to lazy and/or less intelligent viewers, but it nevertheless offers an ending that explains all of the preceding bizarre events.For those who didn't get it: the blond-Birch half of the film is a basic description of the last weeks/months in the life of the serial-killer's last victim. The brunette-Birch half is Hell itself, in which the killer re-lives over and over various events in his "past" life through the brunette Birch. The psychotherapist/killer is forever doomed to live out his own personal Hell, destined to bounce forever between two world like a ping-ping ball: between that of his actual victim, the blonde Birch, and the nightmare world of the brunette Birch, who never existed in the first place. The killer is thereby punished by having to re-experience his own crime, both from the perspective of his last victim and her non-existent brunette double.Not that the basic foundation behind this premise is anything wildly new or original. It is somewhat reminiscent of "Angel Heart", even more of "Hellraiser V", and who knows how many other movies. Nevertheless, the basic idea is presented here in a new way, hence to criticize DC solely on the basis of its premise would mean that nearly every single Western, action film, and family drama, would also have to be dismissed as utterly unoriginal and useless. The movie keeps you guessing, and there are no major loose ends. (In fact, considering that all of the events occur in "Hell", then there is no really need for every single detail to be explained neatly at the end, anyway. Some parts need to be left to the imagination... for those viewers who have it.) DC does NOT remind of "Lost Highway" much. Lynch's typically overpraised LH is a confused jumble of utter nonsense, all style and almost zero meaning, whereas DC has both a logical structure and a point.
Bob Greenwade (bobgreenwade) The acting in this film, particularly that from the always-pleasing Christien Anholt, is above average. The art direction and cinematography, though nowhere near Oscar-worthy, are quite good too. But those are the only things that keep this film from going directly into the toilet.Odd characters abound in here, along with many strange occurrences, without explanation. The viewer is left guessing as to what's actually going on, which is actually a good thing in the middle of the movie -- but when the film ends that way, not so much.And this one does. Just as the story is coming to an end, we're thrown a series of curve-balls and then thrown back to the middle with such a vague explanation (if it can even be called that) for the weird events in the body of the movie that we're left wondering if it's actually over. It's a relief to have it done with, but the story doesn't actually end so much as just come to a stop.What's really horrible about that is that a clear ending was well within reach. We do learn the identity of the Night Stalker serial killer. Who were Karen's fellow bus riders, appearing from nowhere at such unusual moments? What was the deal with the police detective, behaving like Longstreet in one scene and like Columbo in another? Why did the elderly male corpse get up and try to talk to Karen? And who, really, was the main perspective character -- or characters? Was there any real significance to the number 618? Granted, this has all the earmarks of a strongly "theme-oriented" story, so a strong plot, clear-cut setting, and compelling characters would have been just distracting. It's just too bad the theme couldn't have been made a bit clearer.My recommendation: unless you enjoy watching people being tortured to death with no logical explanation, only to see them suddenly come back to life to start the process all over again, skip this movie.
borgixx This Movie Really Sucks, and it's a waste of time to watch it, so don't even bother trying to... Even if you really try to understand it, and to understand the meaning of the whole story it's pretty useless. Right after the beginning two characters are very desultory, so you can't even get who is who. When I saw that Thora Bhirch is starring, for a second I thought that it wouldn't be such a waste of time to sit there and watch the movie, but afterwards i realized that I was wrong. And I must admit that I like to watch those kind of movies as I assume this movie was supposed to be horror. Thora Birch's performance is only so so at best and the gore scenes, while impressive and shocking are one of the few highlights in what is otherwise a totally disappointing snooze fest!
