Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
I actually liked it a lot, and I actually didn't expected that. The acting was pretty much fine, specially the leadings. I never thought to see "Sabretooth" in a "good guy" role, but was very good doing it, and pretty convincing.Here we have a family, in a reunion because the patriarch is loosing his self, he have dementia. But learn that the family have very dark secrets. There is a crime that Michael committed to save his nephew's life, but was unable to save Chloe's (his sister). There is a behavior in abuse in Gary(his father and the patriarch), who beat his wife Annabelle, and that was before to Michael and Chloe's mother who died of cancer while in care of a teen Michael.So, we have family issues, some forgiveness... and a bit of blood.I loved the bitter ending for a lead character that didn't expected.The photograph is awesome, with a touch of vintage, that make the atmosphere more strange, given the circumstances.Music was perfect for each scene.The villain was pretty "cool" (in a dark way).There is a personal thing for me, my grandmother was abusive with me and I forgive her, that's for I feel so related to Michael, in a very strange level.Oh, and for that review that doesn't understand what happened in the beginning... it is explained by images in the end, if you don't understand you must pay attention. It's all explained.I recommend it with 9/10 absolutely.
One of the best suspense movies I've seen in a long time! Made me want a sequel not allot of movies let me do that!!! Can't wait to see more from Mane entertainment!! The movie has some twist and turns You would not expect! Leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat, Makes you want more, Has you jumping and gasping! Very well thought out plot and great acting! I can't not wait to get my copy of compound fracture!! Also as a added bonus they bring three horror movie actors together in the same movie and let's just say heads roll and blood splatters in this movie but its all in good taste no nudity so its not so bad for those who want to see a horror suspense without the cheezy sex stuff!
Independent film is no longer synonymous with being bad. Tyler Mane has changed the recipe. You have to start with a nearly flawless script. Then rework it until all the inconsistencies are gone. Add three iconic killers, Tyler Mnae, Derek Mears and Muse Watson to the mix. Surround them with a core of incredible supporting actors. Season with just a hint of dark humor and a vigorous splash of gore. Simmer in a fortified compound for ninety minutes while slowly turning up the heat. Watch as the terror comes to a final boil. In the end you get to feast on not only one of the best supernatural thrillers of the year, but on one of the best movies of the year.
While Compound Fracture reaches more into the thriller range than horror, it still manages to create a creepy, isolated environment with a few good scares while weaving a twisted tale around the Wolffsen family. The story was interesting and not the typical rehash of stories already told one thousand times. It does well to not lead you directly to the ending and keeps you guessing. Most of the characters have depth and their personal struggles are shown juxtapose to the real threat lurking around them.I found Compound Fracture to be a very good film, that was even better the second time around. The writer included little intricacies and allusions that I had not picked up or even noticed the first time watching. If you are tired of seeing the same old thriller/horror movie with one dimensional characters and story and are looking for something unique to refresh the genre, Compound Fracture is one movie you do not want to miss.
