Steven t It was good but I will admit the ending surprise kinda threw me. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Claudio C Glorious (2022) The Screenplay Is not Good Enough to Hold the Attention (11,694 –15 May 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) While driving on the road, Wes (Ryan Kwanten) falls asleep and almost hits another car. He stops at a rest stop and recalls his ex-girlfriend Brenda (Sylvia Grace Crim). He eats a chocolate bar from a vendor machine and starts to drink whiskey from a bottle. Drunken, he burns his possessions, including many photos and his trousers, and faints on the floor. In the morning, he goes to the stall in an empty restroom in bad shape to vomit. A voice in the next stall talks to him and says that his name is Ghatanothoa (J.K. Simmons). Then he explains that he is a demigod, created by his father, who created the universe, to destroy humanity but he was trapped by his siblings. Wes believes the guy is crazy and cries for help. Supervisor Gary C. (André Lamar) comes to the restroom and Wes leans that Ghatanothoa is not lying. “Glorious” (2022) is a low budget horror movie directed by Rebekah McKendry. The film is developed basically in one location, a dirty and derelict restroom in a rest stop of the road. Films with these characteristics (low budget, one location only, few characters) may work, provided the screenplay is good. Unfortunately, the screenplay of “Glorious” is not good enough to hold the attention of the viewer and may cause somnolence. The final plot point, where is disclosed about what happened to Brenda and who is Wes, is weak. My vote is three. Title (Brazil): “Glorious” My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Andrew C This film does a great job of using one location and the focus of mainly three actors for the bulk of the story. J.K. Simmons voice acting is terrific as always! A very fun sci-fi movie that blends some very thoughtful dialogue about morality and purpose in the world with dark humor and trippy visuals. An absolute gem of an independent film! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Audience Member This has to be one of the worst films I’ve ever watched in my life. Pure garbage. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Andy B A nice little pot boiler of a horror film. The main character finds himself trapped in a rest room and has an extended conversation with someone in the adjacent cubicle - who turns out to be there for a very unusual reason. Great performance from the lead. Clever story, good pacing and a great combination of horror and comedy. I always enjoy it when a film makes me laugh and feel mildly guilty about laughing. A must for lovers of Lovecraft who have been waiting for a good script that updates the Mythos for a modern audience. Manages to get over the feeling of eldritch horror without disappointing at the end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Justin M Good idea, bad execution.
