Dimples (2008)

Very disappointed :(

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Some comments left by Knatreesha_21 could have been enough to inform you about the overall lack of quality you'd find watching this movie, but this movie was so bad, I felt the need to reiterate just how bad it really was. So, how bad was it? For one, and as mentioned, the acting was absolutely horrible. None of the characters portrayed anyone that would actually exist. The dialogue was boring, senseless and predictable. There was some acting that was actually so bad, it made you laugh; and this wasn't even considered a comedy. From the start of the movie, nothing made sense. 30 minutes into the movie, you are still wondering why nothing relevant has happened and where the story is going. It was as if they were trying to mix American Pie with some cheesy horror flick. You watch, only with hopes that something would be revealed; but by the time the movie ends, you realize that you lost an hour and a half of your precious life that you can't get back. It's a painful feeling, the realization that you actually sat there and watched the entire thing. It actually upset me so much, I went straight to bed; even though I had a few other movies lined up. So, how bad was it? I wasn't even registered on this site until today. I felt the need to register to let everyone know just how bad this movie is. So, how bad was it? It's called Dimples but there is no reference to dimples other than a stupid teenage scene where a boyfriend is doing a video of him and his girlfriend being together. The dialogue goes like this, Boy: "Let's call this video Dimples." Girl: "But I don't have any dimples." Yep, that's it. Nothing more. So, really, how bad was it? Trust me.... you don't want to find out for yourself.

I love Madeline Zima. I think she is not only very beautiful, but a good actress. So maybe I am a bit bias...but not really...if I think a movie is horrible I would say so. AND Dimples is not horrible by far as some people seem to think on here. I agree with the lopsided critique comment as in I can see why. Dimples is steeped in creepy foreplay before it gets too a ton of action. I liked that...some people don't. I felt the movie was well made, paced with precision and was shot great and the acting was STELLAR in comparison to most horror mumbo jumbo. Sometimes I watch horror films and think, "shoot I should be an actor" and I could be possibly the worst actor in the world. I can't even lie to my cat. But in fact, Dimples had some good acting period...no matter the genre...I felt. Not just from Madeline, who I agree was one note, but I do agree that was the part. That was the character. Some of the performances were muted, but again they seemed real to me...not just caricatures of people, but people. Once the action kicked in there was some great scares and some stuff that still kept your mind cookin. What I appreciated was that there was not just wall to wall jump scares like most horror has nowadays and the gore was not so horrific as to be almost horror pornographic. Anyway, just my opinion of many. I have and would recommend this film. I also loved the twist in the end. Have fun!

I heard about this flick through a friend and grabbed it the other night. Watched it with a friend and he thought it was alright, but I liked it,especially for a low budget horror film. I thought the acting was not spectacular, but I have seen plenty worse. It definitely was not bad. There was some very funny dialogue, some good jump scares, some alright gore (low budget)and a cool/different story. I thought anyway. There is a psychology here that I liked quite a bit. It also was shot well. The twist through me for a loop and I didn't seeing it coming. I think this was a good effort. I recommend it, especially if you don't like to be spoon fed and want something a bit different to watch.

I agree with some of the comments about this movie. The film is full of clichés and bad acting. At moments the plot and the acting of the actors are so illogical and just ridiculous. Some moments I believe were meant to be very psychological, strong and powerful. Instead they are naive, boring and amateur. The movie bears resemblance to a great horror flicks from the 70's like " The Texas chainsaw massacre" , "Tourist trap" , "Hills have eyes" , etc... Well very obviously this is another unsuccessful attempt to make a scary movie, and today's ran-out-of-ideas horror directors are hoping that the 70's horror movies golden mine can be always used. Sorry guys but it's not working!
