Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Peter Kis There were a lot of opportunities in the movie , it could have turned out nice , if they didn't try to sell it as truth . They lost me when they started involving religion . Who could belive the most powerful people on earth are belivers ..... ....whatever
luckymcginger As I searched for the best things to watch on Netflix I came across this film. I read a quick description and I was like cool I like conspiracy and documentaries. Thats all I new, I was watching it and liked it but it had a few chills down the spine moments. About 90% of the way through I was pretty freaked out I just kept thinking, "no way, no way." I looked up the movie here and its a Horror / Thriller! I hate Horror movies with a passion! Heres the thing, if you go in thinking this is a real documentary its amazing horror movie, I think if you don't know anything, its a really well filmed movie. If you know its a Fake documentary you might write it off as being cheesy Film. If you tell someone to watch it just tell them its a documentary about conspiracy and they uncover something very old.
tiailds Most of this movie is trying to predict how it ends. I got some details right, but not all."Was it interesting?" While they tried to portray conspiracy theorists rather well, they didn't really show a realistic investigation to me. 2 out of 3."Was it entertaining?" There's not much character development, and the story just seems to string several movie tropes together. I was hoping for something a little more complex and exciting. 1 out of 3."Was it memorable?" The ending is the key to this type of movie, and this ending was slightly predictable but mostly a letdown. It was made well and pretty well acted. 1.5 out of 3.Starting with 1, 1 + 2 + 1 + 1.5 = 5.5With a half, I'm going to round down to 5 for the bit of disappointment of the overall ride. Maybe it's just not cup of tea.
Andrew Gold The Conspiracy is about exactly what the title suggests: conspiracies. From 9/11 to the New World Order to occult rituals between world leaders, The Conspiracy wraps it all up into one incredulous story that is documented as realistically as possible. Real footage is mixed in with false claims, blurring the lines of reality, and one of the lingering themes in the movie is the fact that it's easy to dismiss conspiracy theories but it's impossible to disprove them. It's a fantastic concept for a horror movie and it's executed as barebones as possible - we're on the journey with these reporters, and you better be ready for one hell of a ride.The first half is mainly setting the foundation for disbelievers. The cameramen begin as skeptics, then one of them starts to believe, then one of their contacts goes missing leading them to believe he was taken by the same syndicate they're researching, then they become even more determined to find the truth. It's similar to The X-Files in the searching for truth aspect, but it's far more dark and sinister. The syndicate here want the world to be run by one government, birthing the New World Order, and actual presidential speeches are cut together to make it as credible looking as it can be. No matter how skeptical you are, it's easy to get lost in the mindset of, "Hey, what if this were true..."I'm not going to spoil anything because the less you know the better. I will say that the third act is an absolute roller coaster, but the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts. It's an exercise in the underground; the occult; the "what ifs". Some interviewees are masked in anonymity - blank faces and robotic voices - multiplying the creep factor by a hundred percent. Again, from the documentary-style filming to the expertly edited real footage, The Conspiracy blurs the lines between reality and fiction to the point of probability, and there's nothing scarier in horror than not knowing what is true and what isn't.
