Where did Scott or Pavan go?

At first I thought this guy might actually be the writer. His replies jump around as much as the movie does. I will reiterate a statement I made in your questions about the movie thread, boards like this are for people who hate the movie too. People who are looking into seeing the movie are looking for honest opinions so that they can make an informed choice. This isn't an egoboard for every movie made, it's OPINIONS. That does include the negative ones as well. It also serves another terrific purpose, it's cathardic. I have to get it out of my head before I go to sleep or I'll wake up pissed off in the morning...

How did I end up here tonight? I just watched this on late night TV. It reminds me of the days of Gilbert Gottfried and his "Up all night" B movie marathons. The movies were so bad, they were interesting. That's what this movie is. I saw "The Un-nameable" on that show. Unspeakable falls into this category. It does so because the plot is poorly developed, it spends too much time on too many different lines of thought and no time in vesting us in ANY of the characters, plenty of it should have been on the cutting room floor because it convolutes the story. It has "copycat" written all over it with many different movies it draws from to create it (the biggest parallel being with Silence of the Lambs but many others as well, perhaps for a bit of flavor???) It tells you it's metaphysical, apocalyptic, psychic phenomenon but it fails to deliver this in the writing; never staying on one part long enough for anyone to really believe it. I cared NOTHING for any of the characters. If it had been any good in that aspect, I might have cried for the innocent man made to die for something he didn't commit, the mother who turned her back on her son while he was beaten (again, I'm told this, I don't feel it) even for Mowatt himself but NADA!! And WHY does he make her imagine having sex with him? What the hell does that have to do with the storyline? Because he can? Give me a break, it was gratuitous and probably gave it a few more viewers (might have even been the reason someone agreed to back it- I've heard "add X number of sex scenes and we'll take it) but not at all necessary to the story. There's a lot of that in this movie, unecessary crap. The fact that the movie is shorter than your usual film makes the crap even more blatant. It needed far more development before it ever should have been produced. We should have been happy to see Dennis Hopper's character die because he's supposed to be an *beep* but again, told this not feeling it. I think that perhaps Pavan could do something more, there is a sliver of potential there and if he tries, then he can look back on this as "the days he made crap before he hit it big" but he's got to learn from this attempt. If you are Pavan, then listen to this because good authors take brutal criticism, that's what makes them grow! If you aren't him then tell him because somebody should. Hell, if this was a misunderstood but brilliant film, it would have a cult following of some sort- it even fails in that regard...

So are those enough SPECIFIC points for you or would you like me to continue??
