Curve (2015)

Simply A Masterpiece

Overrated and overhyped

A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

+ Julianne Hough is interesting, she has potential although underutilized here. Teddy Sears was decent as the psycho. Unexplained motives are always good. Some of the music is nice Not terribly bad, keeps you glued though it gets frustrating with some of the cliches.- Not really memorable.Mostly nothing happens throughout the movie, she is stuck in the car and he mentally tortures her by doing nothing to help, It gets annoying after a while.After 5 days of being stuck in an awkward position, having nothing to eat and little to drink she is still strong enough to go and get revenge on him and that's the first thing she does.

Greetings from Lithuania.Short summary of horror/thriller "Curve" (2015):*Isolated scene = cheap settings +check.*Few chills here and there and some dead bodies to get "horror" rating +check.*Psychopath with a paper thin "killing philosophy" (some crumbs left from "Se7en") +check.*Few actors to make this situation look even more isolated = small costs for cast +check.* Uniformally OK acting for this material for a quick paycheck +check.*Descent director that will make this average screenplay into a watchable movie +check.*Running time 1 h 19 min which you will forget as soon as the same amount of time will elapse +check. Overall, you have seen "Curve" if any of above short facts sound familiar to you. Watchable flick.

Do not expect anything surprising out of this movie. It is so full of clichés that the whole movie could be predicted correctly from the first ten minutes. I gave it a 4/10 because it does waste time when you're bored and have nothing else to watch. 3/4 of the movie is the same scene with the girl's leg stuck in a crashed car and the "bad guy" torturing her. There is little character development or reasoning behind the killings of the "bad guy." The only thing you know about the protagonist is that she is going to see her fiancé in Denver, CO coming from San Francisco, LA when, surprisingly enough, her car breaks down. It's not bad but it's kind of boring to watch.

I saw Julianne Hough in Footloose and I wasn't very impressed. This movie changed my opinion of her acting skills. This movie just gave her the chance to show her talent. I don't think there is anything this woman cannot do. The part was not an easy one by any stretch of the imagination and Julianne nailed it. I don't recognize the male lead. I always give any movie five minutes to convince me to watch it. This movie had me from the beginning. It's more like a psychological thriller. I really don't think any other actress could have done any better than The performance was really fantastic and is worth of an Academy Award in my opinion. I really enjoyed this movie and hope you do to. I haven't heard of this movie before. I stumbled onto it on Netflix and thoroughly enjoyed it. No spoilers here, watch and enjoy!
