Review of The Ugly

The Ugly (1997)
10/10
Pure brilliance in filmaking and editing
5 July 1999
Wow! This film is strange in format in that the first time you view it, it can leave you a little confused or flustered and can come off as just another horror film. But the beauty is...it isn't. This film was designed to be watched multiple times with the use of the pause button. As odd as it seems, Scott Reynolds has left numerous clues (read easter eggs) throughout that completely explain the ending and all the events that lead up to it. Between subliminal images hidden in the rapid cuts and well placed scenes that seem extraneous at first, The Ugly delivers with a brilliant storyline that makes perfect sense as long as you devote the time to a second or third viewing. It's well worth it, every time.
