A good film (full spoilers)


I'm not sure why "Hindsight" didn't get more stars on IMDB than it did. Maybe because not many like to see Horror Movies / Psychological Thrillers that involve gore as well as the whole cast (minus one) kicking the bucket.

Through the film, I found the criminals to be very well hateable. Just as the supposed 'good' couple were. The premise is that the criminals are selling these people their unborn baby. And, of course, things don't go all according to plan.

Please note, any film that has me disliking the characters to the point where I'm actually *looking forward* to and anticipating their deaths, is an automatic win for me. So this review may be a bit...um, biased.

I don't know, maybe I'm weird in the sense of satisfaction I get when the climax hits and blood starts spilling? But maybe not. I mean, that's why these movies are made--there's a fan base for it.

To give you an idea, I especially enjoyed seeing that goody two-shoes rich woman when she gave up on morals, basically said screw it, and just carved the baby she so badly wanted out of the trailer park girl's belly.

This film is *not* for the easily offended, or the faint of heart.

The film -- while a little silly, and predictable what with the running background commentary -- rang in at a solid 10 out of 10 for me. :) I had no complaints and was very content by the time credits rolled.

Basically, I'd recommended the movie "Hindsight" to be watched by those Horror fans who are like me. Able to take things with a grain of salt and sense of humor, without getting moralistic, opinionated or their panties in a bunch. And let's not forget, you might also want to have a good sense of being able to enjoy the watching of a dislikable cast of characters bite the dust when watching the film. ...because bite the dust, they do.

If these attributes and elements sound like your kinda thing, then the movie will go over all right and you'll have a good hour and some minutes killed dead.

If not you are sensitive however, don't even bother -- you'll only end up feeling bored, sickened or scarred, probably by the chop shop C-section scene at the end. So you might choose to find your time better spent (and your sanity saved) by popping in the latest Twilight flick, or something of the like.
