Fate (2016)
Timeless Story with Poor Ending
As one reviewer already commented, this story has been told before, but there was still something attractive about watching this one unfold. The main characters were generally well developed and the 3 or so main actors did a decent job. The cinematography is OK, though the special effects are minimal, as one would expect in a low budget film.
I kept watching to the very end, which happened rather abruptly. I'm always ready to accept an unhappy ending, but this one seemed to occur as a result of running out of film (or time, perhaps). It was unsatisfying and seemed out of sync with the development of the story line. I really wish they had an alternative ending, in which case I probably would have given the movie a 5 or 6. In short, a promising movie was spoiled by a poor ending.
Moth (2016)
Poor Script, Acting, Cinematography, Characters, Effects
I rarely write reviews, but this film was so badly done that I just have to warn potential viewers to stay away from it. Firstly, the poster/DVD cover suggest the presence of a moth-man creature while there is none in the film. None, zilch. We only hear or see suggestions of such a being. The characters are one dimensional and not at all interesting from any standpoint. The lead actress is mostly irritating and over reactive while the leading man is simply boring. Cinematography, if you would call it that, is of the hand held, amateurish type usually seen in "found footage" films with nauseating movements, improperly exposed and focused images and poor framing. The editing must have been done by someone on drugs as the continuity and story development are confusing and irrational. The "big reveal" at the end did not surprise me at all and was, in fact, not such a "big" deal at all. About the only part of the film that held some interest for me were the locations: abandoned commercial building, cars, homes and the country roads and forest locations. Sorry I wasted my time with this film.
