Clevercell Very disappointing...

Console best movie i've ever seen.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Platypuschow This indie horror actually showed potential but ruined any hope of it being a decent film due to awful pacing.This is one of those movies where nothing happens, nothing happens, nothing happens *Bam* everything happens in a short space of time annnnnd roll credits.Telling a story of a group of 20 somethings hanging out at a lake cabin who come under attack by an unknown force (Which is still pretty unknown after the credits have finished) A mix of decent acting and bad, decent sfx and awful this mixed bag simply didn't deliver despite showing promise.The Good: Couple of decent performances Idea wasn't terrible The Bad:Some bad acting Badly rushed Feels incomplete Things I Learnt From This Movie: A person throwing up is justification to shoot them Baby poop can make bears rabid, botulism bears!

vinciblestimps This is not the greatest film in the world. It *is* very reminiscent of early Peter Jackson films (Bad Taste) and early Sam Raimi stuff. I can't help but be pretty excited about the growth of a new and interesting Canadian film scene that's got creative people involved in all the aspects. I'd like to see more - I'm hoping this is the first of many things to come from the folks responsible.It's an exercise, and I am really pleased that I decided to rent it. If you're looking for a finished, well funded, polished piece, go elsewhere. This is a diamond in the rough. Lots of fuller character stuff could be in it. Lots of better filming done, the girls could be a little differentiated, but face it, they're bloody differentiated from a lot of women I've seen on screen simply by the fact that they look natural.There are a lot of different horror tropes being tested out here. Deranged cop from Desperation, Lovecraft Things, Oddly Coloured Landscapes, Young People Screwing When You Know They Shouldn't, Ladies In The Water. Pretty neat stuff! And no sparkly vampires. It's a bit of a return to seventies horror films. Thumbs up.

GaryCarter8 "The Corrupted" is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.The dialogue is clunky and unnatural. The acting is stiff. The film is poorly paced.I respect the attempt by these amateur filmmakers to get something in the can, but this is an abysmal effort. The movie lacks any thematic structure. Instead, there are simple-minded and poorly developed attempts to explore what it means to be human.The plot is simple yet meandering. The characters are so poorly written that you can barely tell them apart, especially in the case of the females, who also look alike.It's an unoriginal idea that is horribly executed.

winterheart-792-969149 I attended the private screening in Edmonton of this film and, to be honest, went in with low expectations since I had heard it was a very low budget film made with a local crew and local talent. Perhaps I just don't have much faith in Edmonton and surrounding area but for whatever reason, I didn't expect much. To my (and my wife's) surprise, The Corrupted was a well made, and well scripted film that held my interest throughout it's 75 minutes.Because of the low budget, the special effects weren't terribly realistic but it was easy to look past that and concentrate on what the filmmakers were trying to convey. The dialogue moved the story along well and the screenwriters were able to make a few philosophical discussions throughout the movie without boring the audience.While not all of the cast will move on to bigger things, most of the main actors performed their parts admirably and, assuming they can rise above the local scene, have bright futures ahead of them. The ending sets up an obvious sequel so I really hope this film makes enough money to warrant producing a second film.All too often, low budget, entirely independent films are simply not good for more reasons than just not having enough money to do more. The Corrupted is an enjoyable movie regardless of its budget and I imagine the filmmakers have a successful career ahead of them.
