In Extremis (2017) Reviews
I liked it
People have different tastes in movies and a lot of people won't like this movie. I really enjoyed it, unlike most movies, it kept me guessing. Most movies I know what's going to happen within the first twenty minutes of the movie. The acting was superb! I don't want to spoil the movie but after I figured out most of what was going on, it was a very emotional movie for me. You have to watch this when there are no distractions and pay attention to everything said and I think you will really be glad you watched.
It is a good film
I am sure this film is not to everyone's taste, especially if expecting a flash bang Hollywood movie that needs no concentration. For me, that was the charm. I had no idea what to expect, but I was pleased I watched it. It is a bit of a slow burn, and you need to think about what is going on and pay attention. I really didn't know which way the story was going - which was it's charm. When the end of the film happened it was a surprise. In retrospect I could see all the clues were there throughout the film. The acting was superb, as was the production. This film deserves a much higher rating that given here.
I would just skip this movie if I were you.
In Extremis is categorized in the genre horror and thriller so it was purely based on that that I watched it. Did I get to see a horror or a thriller? Absolutely not, so for that alone I was already disappointed. Add on that that the first fifty minutes of the movie are pretty lame, where you wonder what is going on, and that not in the mysterious way but in the boring way, and you get a below average movie. The second part made up for it a little bit but still it was not good enough. The acting was okay for some and bad for others. Lisa Gormley was bad, so I looked her up, and of course she played in a soap series, Home and Away in this case. So I was not really surprised why I thought she was a low ranked actress. The kid Anna played by Isabelle Allen was also poor acting. Sometimes you have really young actors that are good, but Isabelle Allen isn't one of them. Just skip this movie and watch something else.
Very good movie
If you are looking for a typical "horror" movie, this is not the film for you. It is moody and dark, and you have to pay attention. It's more of a psychological thriller/suspense/drama. It gave me the same vibe as "Jacob's Ladder". The acting is wonderful. Beautiful cinematography as well. As another reviewer said, you have to pay attention to the details.
Strange, not really horror-horror
Very strange movie in the beginning but at the end it suddenly all makes sense. Although it's probably not a good movie for kids I wouldn't say it's a true horror movie. A bit slow, watched this in 1.2x speed and it was still fine.
