Not bad at all. Goes back and forth through 3 timelines. Pretty easy to follow, fairly solid torture slasher.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Not a bad style and fairly gruesome in its depictions, however what the story is all leading to is highly predictable.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Cinematography: 7/10 Usually fine, but sometimes too dark, or out of focus, or nearly mono color. Perhaps this was for artistic effect, but I find that irritating without any sort of recompense. Sound: 8/10 Usually well done. Acting: 7/10 Harris, Krause, and Henriksen were credible. The other actors were a full level less skilled. Krause still seems to be trying to break out of typecasting from his long stint on the television series Charmed. I liked his performance here, though, better than in some of his earlier bad guy horror film roles. Screenplay: 8/10 Mosaic films can be awfully bad, but this one was well written, even if the content is disgusting. The flashbacks (the mother) and four interview streams (with Emmett, with the two medical experts, with the prison interviewees) are well meshed. The harsh ending makes sense once one gets there.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Predictable movie narrated by Lance Henriksen, a narration that really grates on your nerves after a while.

Predictable and a bit sloppy on many levels, but occasionally effective, scary and somewhat intriguing.

Rated: 5/10

Cyrus is a remarkably fresh take on sort of a stale subgenre these days. Anchored by great performances and a unique storytelling approach, the film is a great find for all those indie horror fans out there.

Rated: 3/5

...a fairly strong premise that is, for the most part, employed to pervasively underwhelming effect...

Rated: 1.5/4
