There are dozens of horror films released every couple of months and so it's is perfectly understandable that one or two will fall under the radar. With the film that i'm about to review for you all today being one such film as this is a film that until just a couple of short days ago I had no idea was even a thing let alone that it had already been released and so then join me as I review the film that has some really bad sound effects with the film in question being called simply just "Craving" enjoy.
The plot of this film is when a group of people are held hostage they have to find out which one of them is a killer in order to survive. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very review was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue as this films plot wasn't all that good either with this films plot just not being strong enough to support an entire feature length film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Felissa Rose as Les , Al Gomez as Hunter , Holly Rockwell as Gail and Kevin Caliber as Mac. Also starring in this film is Ashley Undercuffler as Frenzy , Xavier Roe as Will , Likun Jing as Lo , Rachel Amanda Bryant as Shiloh , Toya Morman as CeCe , Gregory Blair as Travis , Frankie Guzman as Rudy , Miranda Bourke as Rylee , Scott Alan Ward as Jared Scott , Greg Tally as Red , Zera Lynd as Lori , Robert C. Pullman as Gerry , Kelsie Mathews as Simone , Michael Turner Tucker as Carl , Matt Weinglass as Kent , Kim Estes as Officer Shaw , Thomas Haley as Officer Washington , the films VFX supervisor Brook Hubbs as Frank , Joseph D. Webb as John and Jake Butcher as Paul.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With the film rightfully deserving all of the praise that it's been getting for it's acting as the acting in this film is really alot better then what it had any right to be which considering that this film cost sixty three thousand American dollars to make it truly is shocking that the acting in this film really is as good as it was.
To me this film is basically a less good version of The Hateful Eight only with that film giving us a wide verity of characters that are actually interesting. Which does mean that this films central idea falls flat on it's face as we are now forced to spend time with a bunch of characters basically in one location that just aren't that interesting or even entertaining for that matter while the opposite was true for The Hateful,Eight where the characters were interesting and really entertaining all of which added to the drama of that film where as here as the characters are just so dull and boring it ultimately ends up taking away from the drama instead of adding to it.
One of the things that this film got alot of hate for was the fact that it has far to many characters and yeah I can see why that would be a huge issue. As alot of the films characters just get lost in the shuffle so much so that when they do appear on screen you have to remind yourself that there a character in this movie and what makes things is the fact that the movie really didn't need to have that many characters in it and infact having less characters in the film would have helped save the film some money if this was a longer film however having more characters wouldn't be a good thing but given that this film isn't a long film the amount of characters that this film has in it really should have been cut down quite by alot.
It takes alot to really take me out of a movie but this film did it just by having some really bad sound effects. I'm not kidding when I say that the sound effects in this film are so bad that they make the sound effects in films made for alot less then movie sound good by comparison I get it that this film had a really small budget and so they most likely could afford to go out and record better sounding sounds but they could have at the very least have put in the effort to find sounds that don't make there production look amateurish which might sound a bit harsh but it's true and it's something that really take me out of the movie.
To this films credit it does have a lot of promise to be a really good horror film even with it's unique setting. However the film just can't live up to that promise because of how bad the characters are with the characters just coming across as being rather one dimensional and cardboard cut outs of other and better characters in other and better movies and when a film has just one major setting it's characters need to make it interesting and that's something that this films characters just can't do as there not written all that well with the only character even showing some promise of being a good and interesting characters being the first character that gets killed of in the movie.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty three minuet and twenty seven seconds. Which is such a long time for this film with this film not really needing to be as long as it is as the films story isn't strong enough to support an entire feature length film but is strong enough t support a short film and that's what this film should have been just a short film with a handful of characters an nothing more then that but because this film is a feature length film we also get alot of padding with flashback scenes that go nowhere but I will admit that this film does have some really good pacing to it tho.
So now then as there some kills in this film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad for the most part. As due to the films fast editing it was hard to make out what some of the kills were meant to be but the kills that we can actually see look really good with them showing of this films really very impressive practical effects in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall while this film did have all of the potential to be a really good independent horror film it just doesn't live up to all of that massive potential that it had gong for it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Image actually has images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
