4.9?


Are you f__king kidding me? This movie was more like a 7/10. I thought it was excellent. Great acting, great cinematography, great music choices... What is wrong with people?
I have to vote 10/10 to try to even out the score some. 4.9 is just ridiculous.

I agree, this was a really good movie. Great music, great story, fun to watch. I guess it does take a certain kind of person to enjoy, but it's not ridiculously outlandish or anything..

Definitely deserves a better rating. I rated it an 8 myself.

I also agree, but you're right that it's not for everyone. Another Kind is atmospheric, slow-paced and creepy. It's one of those movies where things seem increasingly off-kilter without any single major disaster or obvious cause. I love movies like that, but someone who wants non-stop action or constant scares or a clever, twisty plot would do better to look elsewhere.

Some people complained about the ending, but I didn't mind it. While there are plenty of hints as to the general nature of what's coming, the way we find out is kind of clever if a bit of a cliche. It's like the character stumbled out of the woods only to get hit by a car. However, I liked the characters enough to wonder what exactly what happened to them, particularly the last man standing.

Agreed. This was a solid little film with a refreshing emphasis on characters and atmosphere over cheap scares and flashy special effects. 8 out of 10 from me.

It was fairly well-made and creepy throughout, but I felt like it didn't really amount to much, hence my 4/10 rating. It probably could've been 5/10 if the ending had some major twist that explained anything besides what wasn't already majorly hinted at, but perhaps that's a nitpick on my part. I've seen similar low-budget films that have had a tighter storyline (my favorite being 2012's The Frozen) and more likeable characters so I can't give this one too much of a pass just because it was well-made and acted.

Overall, I've spent an hour and a half watching worse things so take that for what you will. It's not garbage, but it's not that stellar either.

ending was pretty silly, though it's true often movies end with worse
