Worst Camera Work Ever


This movie should win an award for the worst camera work ever. Every single shot the camera zooms in and then out and then in again. It presents as not only annoying and uncomfortable, but it takes over the movie and you wind up spending more time thinking about the camera work than you do about the characters or what's going on in the movie.

I don't understand how the director thought this was a good idea. Did he not sit in the editing room and watch a preview of the scenes that were shot? Did he watch them and actually think to himself "Wow, this is good!" Didn't anyone have the balls to tell him it wasn't just bad, but it was down-right awful? Was he so full of himself that he just thought he was being ground-breaking and using his creative genius? I've seen directors in the past use camera work to make the audience uncomfortable on purpose during certain scenes, but never throughout the whole movie and seemingly for no reason what so ever. This was the first movie I ever watched where I actually wondered who the director was because I was going to make sure I never watched another he made ever again. This movie would have been ok to watch without the camera work, but with it, not worth watching at all.
