03/09/2019 Not a fan of this movie. It's an extremely slow burn with a decent sized pay off in the end. I'm not the hugest fan of slow burns where not much happens hence my disapproval of this movie, But if you're a fan of slow burns then this may be right up your alley. It's hard to see this as being a horror... it's more of a drama suspense with some dark elements in it. The acting is just ok so that doesn't help with the movie trying to hold your attention. The downward plight of the main character is slow (promise that's the last reference using the word 'slow') and hence there's problems with the pacing. Lastly it's not original at all, so it loses points for that too, See more 05/10/2018 This movie is really genius. The writing is amazing. The film is In the same vein as "Get Out" although a different genre of people ...aka white people. :) It holds interest ... it is scary from a smart perspective. I do not like horror films at all but I loved this film. See more 03/19/2018 this movie scared the living f*** right out of me. all my neighbor's Drive Priuses and converse with subversive political correctness dialect. we must do everything in our power to get rid of Donald Trump now because if one snowflake can become so triggered as to mass murder randoms and his pregnant wife just imagine the rage blizzard that is on the forefront if Trump is reelected. if the most enlightened and empathetic of us a filmmaker who is woke and trying to bring Universal awareness to all of us can snap we have all lost. See more 03/18/2018 TILT is intense and suspenseful from start to finish. But what transcends its genre is the thought-provoking - and truly terrifying - relatability of the main character. It's one thing to watch someone do terrible things with deliberate intent; that could never be us. It's something else when that person is as confused and creeped out as we are, watching him. Especially since Joe's "predicament" is so relatable too - questions about the value of his work, his impending fatherhood, the pressure to support a family, and, beyond all that, a world where Donald Trump is emerging as a viable force. The walls close in around him and he reacts without knowing why. He has no skills in looking at himself; he just doesn't understand. Bad things happen. He does them, on impulse - or fails to, with one brilliant scene in particular where a mundane, honest comment stops him. Very good writing and direction and acting, on a difficult subject. TILT doesn't waste a moment, tracking Joe's disintegration in a way that seems inevitable - yet tragic. That's where the horror comes in: This could be us. See more 03/18/2018 Slow to start then just started getting interesting then it ended abruptly. Sat through it even though I didn't enjoy it, waiting for something to happen but it never did. See more 03/06/2018 An interesting idea, a terrible execution. I was sold on "the first Trump-era horror film", and in return, I got a messy, barely comprehensible, paper-thin story with confusing plotlines and a lot of things that go nowhere. It's slow and angry, but it has something to say. I do think it's a story that would've needed a lot more time to develop, and at least a few re-writes, but I understand that it was made in a hurry, as an emergency. I loved the subtleties in the background, the hidden words and messages that are sprinkled throughout, which prove to me that the director had a great eye for detail... I just wish he also cared about the audience's comprehension of basic story elements. See more Read all reviews
