Don't fall for the phony reviews...This movie is absolute beep

If you're a fan of horror or disturbing dramas, skip this. There is absolutely no horror in the entire movie, and the only thing disturbing about the drama is how fake it is.

horrible acting...horrible script writing...unrealistic dialogue...and the promising twist at the end...you can see it coming from miles away...
the older brother kills his parents...and rapes his mom (implied off screen)

I'm pissed because the hype about this movie is obviously fake.

It's one thing to make a POS movie. It's a whole other thing to post fake reviews to trick people.

Name a better movie in which the older brother kills his parents...and rapes his mom

What is this obsession with intricate "twists"? True, the movie has shortcomings due to budget, but how can you call yourself a horror fan when you expect multi-million-dollar productions (that of course must be censored children's movies so that they can get distribution).

As a fan of horror, I'm genuinely surprised you like this movie.

It's not so important to me that the brother did *beep* up things. I'd rather it was realistic AND horrible.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy a good scary monster flick like Rec and The Taking of Deborah Logan...but this movie markets itself as a disturbing horror and it's just not.

Have you seen movies where ordinary people turn to evil?
Eden Lake, The Vanishing, Hide and Seek. That's classic disturbia IMO.

Then you get psychos who prey on others.
Hostel 2, Human Centipede, The Skin I Live In, Countdown, Blindness

And then, there are some really REALLY disturbing stuff about humanity
The Fly, Lilya 4-Ever, Requiem for a Dream

Have you seen any of these? Isn't that stuff WAYYY more realistic and disturbing in comparison?

Sure those are better, I guess I'll concede that this was more of a "fun" movie than horror, but it wasn't disappointing

As a fan of horror, I'm genuinely surprised that you are SHAMING people for liking the WRONG horror.

Yeah, this isn't the same as those movies you mentioned. But horror is a diverse genre, which is why fans of the genre love it so much.

I'm pretty sure you just called the fly more realistic than this. But whatever. I liked it a lot.

I like 'different' and 'unusual' horror films. They seem to be the only interesting horror movies out these days.

Hollywood horror sucks.

Hollywood horror sucks.

Truer words have never been spoken. If FOUND had been a mainstream horror movie, we wouldn't have gotten anywhere near the ending we got. They'd have forced a change to the ending where Marty saves his parents and Steve is locked up (or killed by Steve) for his crimes. We'd have gotten a somewhat happy ending, which would have ruined the movie.

If Found was a mainstream horror movie we would have gotten better actors; cinematography that doesn't look like it was filmed with a crappy $200 Walmart camcorder; a voice-over narration from someone who doesn't sound stilted and lifeless as if he's just reading the narration for the first time as the recording is on; and something more than useless fake blood to move this useless movie along.

All in all, we would have gotten a movie that is 1000 times more watchable than this crap. Hollywood puts out junk. But this is miles worse than Hollywood horror at its worst.

Couldn't disagree with you more. Most Hollywood horror has no originality whatsoever, and don't even attempt to actually be frightening.

At least something low budget made outside studio interference has the chance to explore interesting ideas. I like originality, and sometimes I forgive less than stellar acting and other flaws.

I'm pretty sure you can't read the English language very well. Because if you could you'd realize the OP said the fly was more disturbing than this. Not realistic.

[–] gazzy360-955-30770 9 years ago

Yes, and then he writes

"Have you seen any of these? Isn't that stuff WAYYY more realistic and disturbing in comparison? "

So he did kinda call the fly realistic.

[–] divisionbell-2 8 years ago

Wow weird examples. Many of them were just awful. Eden lake and taking of Deborah Logan were terrible movies and awful examples.

"Name a better movie in which the older brother kills his parents...and rapes his mom."

American Horror Story. Tate Langdon rapes and kills his girlfriend's mother. It's not the same, but it's similar.

He actually did ask for a movie.

[–] MartenBroadcloak 9 years ago

That sounds pretty different if you ask me.

This movie has so many fans that there was a market for "Headless", a non-existent 70s or 80s slasher flick the characters watch, to be made into a real movie.

[–] jordanjanellejoy 9 years ago

I thought the film was decent enough. The acting could've used a little work but I was pleasantly surprised with it. Disturbing in some areas though.

My ass may be dumb, but I ain't no dumbass...

Yep.

[–] haileybaron 9 years ago

You're way off dude
Is this movie amazing? No way
But it's not as bad as you make it out to be
It's at least ORIGINAL
I'm betting your fave movies from the past year aren't nearly as original as Found

It's one thing to make a POS movie. It's a whole other thing to post fake reviews to trick people.

So all the critics and publications that gave this movie positive reviews... they were hired by the filmmakers who had less than a million dollars to make the film?

[–] chamohlamb 8 years ago

You're an idiot, and I know this because the things you say could only come from an idiot.

[–] chrisredmayne 8 years ago

yeah i dont get it, the acting was bad from the first second especially the dad and the serial killer... there was literally no violence in this movie too other than the few headless shots. I dont get what was disturbing about it, I as kinda drawn in half way for a bit but it didnt really keep my attention

Don't fall for the phony reviews...This movie is absolute *beep*
