Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

daniel-mannouch The best thing about i can say is that it exploited to a T the hysteria surrounding cyberbullying in the Late 2000's-Early 2010's as did many a god awful lifetime movie. Other than that, it looks like the majority of the £700,000 budget made its way onto the screen which is more than what i can say for the content of this past Summer's blockbuster exhibition of turd. Tormented is the kind of film that made me dread getting into slashers. The sub-genre went through SOME growing pains, starting off as Movie brat era career stepping stones and Major Six shortcuts to meeting revenue quotas in towards over exposure and then a fake resurgence passing itself off as Meta when it was really just a case of filleting a dead horse. Tormented comes from the tail end of such filleting when bone only remained and therefore the film wears such bones like a necklace proclaiming to be a throwback instead of a toneless mess which veers from patches of bleak to explosions of camp, and i wanna die thinking that someone found this funny or even remotely engaging. The film shows no discipline, so why should we exercise some to give it the benefit of the doubt? It's not exactly micro-budget and it reeks of the inmates taking over the asylum as director Jon Wright clearly didn't keep a leash on his cast, who go into business for themselves in that atypically British way and do what comes natural instead of what the script required. And if naturalistic performances was what was required by the script, then it was a dog to begin with anyway. A slasher/supernatural hybrid combined with edgy E4 theatrics. I f****ng gag. Maybe it's just me. The styles just don't blend. The antiquated and expected clashing sloppily with the contemporary and the aggressive, American and English sensibilities that just don't find middle ground. As i'm not a pro critic, i have no problems telling you how i would make this film... Tormented should have gone either two ways: 1: Scrap the supernatural element and ritualistic kills for pure sex, violence and carnage. Portray a decadent, fascistic youth that the old rightfully should be afraid of. Cause who doesn't hate Nazis? Have a school based war or hooligan type film. Pure nihilism grounded by the bullying message, some la resistance sort of protagonists and the like instead of colouring all characters different shades of grey. Plus, the picture wouldn't have to be fighting against that desire to be 'fun' and be a film about 'today's kids'.2: Actually be fun and forget the problems of the real world. Embrace artifice and focus solely on atmosphere and elaborate kills. Sure, bullying can still be the crux of the narrative, but don't be so heavy handed. I'd still hate the film as i despise horror comedies, but at least it would be a solid approach and i can appreciate such a thing. Tormented is just another meandering genre film that gone and went for broke and ended up doing just that. There are just too many jarring elements from more focused productions for a weathered cineaste such as myself to ignore and see the film for what it could have been than what it was. Here, i'm just annoyed.

jfarms1956 This movie is geared towards those between 9 and 25 which leaves me out in the cold. I found both the horror and humor in this movie tasteless but I can see whereby younger people could enjoy the humor and the horror. Being mean to a fellow classmate is never a good idea. Being mean to anybody is another bad idea. You reap what you sew is the basic theme in this movie. Bad karma is never the way to go or live. I can see this movie for a slumber party or any teenage party. Bring plenty of pizza and popcorn to eat with lots of soda to wash it down with. The kids will have a blast. You don't have to concentrate too hard with this movie. This is definitely not my type of film, but I am way too old to enjoy it.

DustinRahksi Short and sweet review.So there are have been numerous cases of teen suicide in the news over the last few years. No one likes bullies, but does that make it okay to murder them in cold blood.The characters: The characters were alright, they seamed to bully just because they saw it as a joke. They weren't psychotic, or evil. They were just stupid kids having "fun". Justine was a half way decent character, she was hurtful without realizing it. Marcus was somewhat likable idiot. Bradley reminded me Travis Van Winkle, you know he always plays the douche bag, they were almost identical. And that's all I remember of them.The Mullet: Now this guy comes off as more of a psychopath. From what I made of this character, he was a creeper. He seamed to have an unhealthy obsession with Justine, even though clearly he should leave it alone and be contempt with his situation. Teens don't understand that being bullied in high school is awe full, but it will pass. I doubt he would have got over it with his introverted and shy way of being. Kids see him as a easy target, I don't know, maybe he should have done something about it. I don't understand teenagers, so I don't know what I am trying to say without offending sensitive people. Be tough, is all I can say.People knew better than to mess with me, where as if people messed with a weaker person, they would have no resistance. You gotta be one MEEANNN Mutha to make it in these type of situations.The theme: So the theme is, if your being bullied, fantasize about how you'll kill them. I mean, these bullies were clearly terrified the whole time. Teach them a lesson, assert dominance, don't brutally stalk and murder them. I never faced bullying, so I can't speak for the subject.Overall, the movie poorly made, especially about such a touchy and serious subject matter. The film is too comedic and upbeat, it doesn't work or convey any positive message. And quite possibly made by someone who experienced such treatment, and had such thoughts.

Torin Smith This movie inhabits the most dangerous area for movies, the gray area, it was labeled as a comedy horror but at no point during the movie was i scared or amused. In the beginning i thought it might be special. But then as soon as i saw the undead kid i knew it was crap. He doesn't look terrifying or even frightening just kind of annoying.I mean, who comes back from the dead with evil powers and starts off their haunting career by sending scary text messages?Also this movie was praised by people for "really showing how bad bullying is" but no "bully" would ever, ever, EVER take a kids inhaler during an asthma attack and hide it.The size of it is this movie isn't good enough to be remembered or even bad enough too be remembered it's just kinda there.
