Review of Serum (2006) by Ashley M — 01 Sep 2012

This should have been a fantastic movie. I can tell these people can actually act, just not, apparently, under this director. The lines are unnatural and stilted in both wording and delivery, the blocking is severely lacking (people don't seem to know what to do with themselves in most of the scenes, unless they're running or dying). I couldn't take anymore after an hour. Really, I stopped paying much attention after the first 20 minutes. It only held my attention that long because I kept thinking it would get better, that the pace would pick up, things would start to get more complex than such a blatantly telegraphed plotline, right?

I couldn't even finish. I didn't even care how it ended. I just wanted it to happen now.
