In Extremis

You'll be super tossed. If you like painful boring films where people speak in riddles and no one bothers to question why everyone is speaking in riddles with the other majority of the film is the father stumbling around coonfused to his daughter's cries.......so much pain and the ending was not a good payofff at all and predictable. So I suffered.....like you suffered through my rant but seriously Im trying to save you your precious time

Has the feel that they made this up as they went along, saying whatever came to mind, staging what they felt like doing, and care not a whit about whether it made sense. If you like making your own meaning out of this abstract mess, have at it!

It's not a bad movie, but only the VERY end has anything uplifting. It's a bit hard to watch just due to the mood and even with just a minute or two left, I pondered the purpose in making such a dark film. It was also slightly predictable, but I did not predict the final message at the end it made me appreciate the film quite a bit more for what it really was.

In Extremis is categorized in the genre horror and thriller so it was purely based on that that I watched it. Did I get to see a horror or a thriller? Absolutely not, so for that alone I was already disappointed. Add on that that the first fifty minutes of the movie are pretty lame, where you wonder what is going on, and that not in the mysterious way but in the boring way, and you get a below average movie. The second part made up for it a little bit but still it was not good enough. The acting was okay for some and bad for others. Lisa Gormley was bad, so I looked her up, and of course she played in a soap series, Home and Away in this case. So I was not really surprised why I thought she was a low ranked actress. The kid Anna played by Isabelle Allen was also poor acting. Sometimes you have really young actors that are good, but Isabelle Allen isn't one of them. Just skip this movie and watch something else.

If you are looking for a typical "horror" movie, this is not the film for you. It is moody and dark, and you have to pay attention. It's more of a psychological thriller/suspense/drama. It gave me the same vibe as "Jacob's Ladder".

The acting is wonderful. Beautiful cinematography as well. As another reviewer said, you have to pay attention to the details.
