Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Paul Magne Haakonsen All I knew about "Static" prior to sitting down to watch it was that it was a horror movie. I didn't know who was starring in it, nor did I know what the plot of the movie was. A life-long fan of the horror genre, I needed little encouragement to sit down to watch "Static".This was one of the most dull, boring and slow paced movies that I have seen in a long, long time. Actually, the storyline was so unfathomably boring and pointless that it was a serious struggle to keep my attention span on the movie. I was tempted to give up numerous times along the way. And at the 51 minute marker into the movie, then I had enough and tossed the towel in the ring. The movie was so pointless and completely boring; a waste of time actually comes to mind if having to describe it.So very little happened throughout the 51 minutes of the ordeal that I managed to sit through.The characters in "Static" were every bit as the title of the movie; static. They were lacking depth and proper personalities. And it was characters that were generic and cardboard cut-outs essentially, and you just don't connect with the characters at any time throughout the course of the movie.It should be said that the acting performances were actually adequate, although the actors and actresses had nothing, absolutely nothing to work with in terms of storyline, script and direction.Along with a very ridiculous story, then the bogeymen that made their appearances in the house were just laughable and proved to be as far from scary or menacing as they could have been. So it just didn't work for setting the mood of the movie. You just couldn't take them seriously.I have no intention of returning to finish watching "Static", because it just isn't worth the time or effort. Actually, watching actual static on the screen might have proved to be more entertaining that what director Todd Levin presented with this 2012 horror movie.
Leofwine_draca STATIC is another murky and derivative 'home invasion' shocker that manages to rip off a half dozen or so films over the course of its running time. It's a rather insipid work that tries hard to build a creepy atmosphere but fails throughout thanks to sub-par direction and poor script writing. If you want to see this kind of film done properly, try the magnificent French thriller THEM.The protagonists in the film are a young couple grieving the death of their only child. These makes them as mopey and self-centred as it gets, and they make for imminently unlikeable characters. Milo Ventimiglia and Sarah Shahi are undoubtedly talented performers but they can do little with what's on offer here.The fright scenes in particular are rather dull and murky and too predictable when films like THE PURGE and THE STRANGERS have done it all before. Plus, the cinematography is way too dark, and the film as a whole has a grey and washed out look that makes it depressing to watch. The twist at the climax turns out to be nothing more than another rip-off of a different movie.
adi_2002 Husbands Jonathan and Addie are passing through a hard time in their life because they recently lost their son, he has drowned a few time ago. In order to seek moments of quiet so they can get over after this tragedy, they decide to move from the city to an isolated house at the country. One night a young girl arrives at their door telling that she needs help and some peoples are chasing her. Jonathan allows Rachel to enter while he goes out to see what happened. Soon some masked strangers come inside and abduct Rachel. Doesn't pass to much time and the married couple finds themselves in danger because now are haunted by this mens and they have to protect their lives but also will find a truth about the stranger that let in their mansion.In my opinion this movie is a mix between The Crazies by George A. Romero and The Strangers because some sequences could remind you of the two horror movies. But this one is just bad, slow, boring and with a silly ending. Not recommended unless you have too much free time available.
OJT As the title gives away, this film is kind of static. That means in this case slow paced. However, it is well done, and able to both get your feeling flowing. Emotion, sadness, fear. It's all here, but if you expect some kind of standard film, you won't find it here. It's not a horror, it's not a thriller and not sci-fi or gore. It's a strange little piece, and it's well made. I can't say more without giving away spoilers.I found this both well played, it's scary and creepy. The sound editing is first class. I would say this is a well made film on a small budget.We meet a couple which is torn to pieces of the loss of their dead three year old child. She is bothered with nerve problems, and he seems like he holding the grip. But he starts to hear sounds. One night the open the door for a young woman, obviously very afraid of something out there in the dark. She just got a flat tire, and heard weird clicking sounds, and she saw some using gas masques.Sound is a powerful tool when you make movies. Here I find this used to max extent, which lifts the scariness of this a lot. Then the film loses both tension and believability, midways. A good premise is lost. But then it picks up a good thread in the end again. The end will not satisfy all, other will find it smart.Interesting from talented new film maker. Music is good, so is the idea. Well worth a watch, if you don't mind a slow paced drama with thrilling parts.Some says this is a remake of the French film "Them" from 2006. I don't know. I haven't seen that.
