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.

Compliance (2012)

Starring: Dreama Walker, Anna Dowd,
Director: Craig Zobel

Premise:
A prank caller poses as a police officer and has a restuarant worker interrogated by her manager.

My Take:
I spent the first half of this movie furious at the stupidity of these characters going along with whatever a voice on the phone says without any real verification despite his vagueness and generalizations of why he needs them to perform the acts which become increasingly sexual. I understand people want to do the "right thing" and "no one wants to get into trouble" but this acts go to the extremes with different people. Then my rage surpassed I simply felt sorry for these characters. And the fact this same thing happened several times at different locations across the US just tells me people need to question more. A interesting movie that is sure to divide its audience.

Rating: So Good
