So, in other words, Besetment is not a setback for Uncork’d. However, I will still look forward to what other movies they come out with because, as I stated before, the first two that I reviewed, I really did like. Unfortunately, this Uncork’d Production just didn’t do it for me. I sat through the whole thing, hoping there was going to be some kind of redeeming qualities in it. I really hate giving a negative review for a film, but I also feel the need to be honest as a reviewer… because if not, then what’s the point? I really wanted to like this movie. I love cheesy B movies, but this was just not original and very predictable. This one just didn’t do it for me on any level. I understand that this was low budget horror but, in my opinion, if you don’t have much to work with money-wise, you better have a hell of a story to tell. The performances – aside from Mason – felt lackluster and the actors did not seem really committed to their roles. From the Hotel and mother/son relationship ( Pyscho) to the sewing of the lips ( Strangeland) to a certain, cringe-worthy scene straight from from Don’t Breathe, it felt like I was watching a spoof of these other amazing films. I felt as though the film took too many ideas from other movies and wasn’t completely original. The story of Besetment had so much potential. I wish that I could say that there was more that I enjoyed about this film, but it just fell flat on so many levels for me. However, the only time I felt truly captivated was when Mason was on screen. The story is certainly interesting and that’s what made me excited to watch it. She isn’t Pamela Voorhees by any means, but I still would not want to go toe to toe with her. She was absolutely the stand out performance in this film. Marlyn Mason killed it in her role as the over protective, crazy mother. I found myself going back and fourth on Besetment. Do I agree with that rating? Let’s find out!Īfter struggling to find employment, Amanda takes a hotel position in a small town where she ends up fighting for her life. It currently hold a 3.3 out of 10 rating on.
