Plot summary

Where do you get those brilliant ideas? A question which plagues all creators. They say success comes with a price, but for the story of Mitch Stockridge, an author of self-help books, that price feeds a bigger monster inside of us all. Into the stressful depths of the creative mind, the lengths that one goes through for success, and the anxiety to keep on producing while on top.

lackluster at best

There's an old film adage "show, don't tell". This film disregards that completely, instead constantly telling, reiterating, and showing almost nothing.As others have said, this is not a horror film... more like a drama-thriller.The characters are comically cliché, it's like the script was written by an AI.With a ~90min runtime, this film feels incredibly padded. We frequently get these slow motion scenes that hold on characters for way, way too long, and the acting is borderline terrible (though the script doesn't exactly give them much to work with).The soundtrack is constantly beating you over the head trying to tell you how you should be feeling, and in conjunction with these drawn out scenes and bizarre overacting it felt like a parody at times.Everything about this movie is just weird and bad. Why ultra-widescreen? What's with the janky camera effects? ..and the lighting? ..and over-the-top stock sound effects?? Why any of this?!?!I suspect the 10/10 reviews were left by friends and family of people that worked on the movie, or they're being painfully sarcastic. Now that I'm reading them again, probably the latter.This film might be fun rip on with some friends while drinking (heavily), but other than that you'll probably want to avoid it.

Monstrously bad

When I saw the ratings on this movie it had an 83% positive critics review and 100% positive public review. When I saw the preview it had a B movie look to it, but I thought I'd give it a chance even though I had reluctance to rent it. This is the first time I've ever written a review on a movie and the reason I decided to do it for this movie was because it was monstrously bad. The actors were terrible, the script was terrible and the monster was silly as it made no sense as to how or why this monster entered this writers life. On top of that, this monster happens to be a brilliant creative writer! How ridiculous is that? It's a perplexing mystery as to why critics give it an 83% positive rating and why the public give it 100% positive rating. This is the closest thing I've ever seen in terms of mass insanity when it comes to movie reviews for a move that is as boring and bad as this one. Truly bizarre. Don't waste your time and money on this one.
