Title: CONDEMNED (2015) Post by: Rev. Powell on April 07, 2016, 08:57:27 AM A rich girl runs away to live with her boyfriend in the condemned building he and his bandmate are squatting in; they are accidentally locked in as some sort of virus that turns the residents into pus-faced killers spreads. 2.5/5 for bad movie lovers.
*This has very low ratings---3.4 on IMDB. I don't think it's THAT bad; it makes little sense but it's watchable. I'm not sure where the hate is coming from. Yeah, the general idea is similar to [REC], but they really don't remind me much of each other in execution. *The condemned building has electricity and running water. I might not have noticed this, but the script calls attention to it without actually explaining how it works. *It's mostly about the characters. In fact the movie runs for half an hour just introducing the various junkies, a Jewish pimp, a pair of bodybuilders in an S&M relationship, a Russian/Chinese drug dealer, and so on before it even starts the virus plot. *The director has some visual talent---the brief hallucination scenes are good---but little storytelling ability. *It's got sleaze, a nonsensical story, gay S&M bodybuilders, a cute female lead, and plenty of hateful cast members to kill off---what more could a bad movie lover want? I don't know, but I wanted SOMETHING more to put it over the top. *I mainly post on this one separately because it's on Netflix streaming, so many of you can catch it if you like. http://youtu.be/Zb8ChWO3DWY (http://youtu.be/Zb8ChWO3DWY) Title: Re: CONDEMNED (2015) Post by: zombie no.one on April 07, 2016, 07:50:42 PM Condemned by name, condemned by......critics?
