All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Amer (2010)

Directors: Hélène Cattet, Bruno Forzani

Synopsis:
Three segments of girl's life. One as a child when she shows curiosity towards her grandfather's death, as a teen where she discovers her innocent sexuality, and as an adult when she returns to her family home and is stalked by a mysterious figure.

My Take:
It's kind of a horror-art house-giallo combo. The film is very stylish in its filming & editing, sometimes too much. But if the viewer is patience the final act explodes into a great scene of visceral madness.

Rating: So Good
