amanda g 07/06/2021 There is a keenly felt darkness inherent to this film beyond the inter-cut images of death and gore. The relateable experience of an age-old friendship quietly dying amid the stifling atmosphere of suburban sprawl and nine-to-five routine is something that everyone can relate to, and yet there is something else here, something much darker and perhaps even sinister hidden just beneath the surface. What makes this film truly stand out is the ease by which it slips back and forth between reality, haunting dreams, and clips of the very special film Dan had procured for his movie night with his old friend. The inability of the characters' to define clear lines between dream and reality translates well to the viewer, who will constantly be questioning what is truly happening in the film and what is taking place in the characters' heads. The viewer steps so well into the shoes of lead character Tom that they are practically experiencing the growing horror right along with him. The dark atmospheric soundtrack adds well to the overall theme of the film, though it does overpower the dialogue at times, and adds a jarring note to already disturbing scenes. Special effects, all practical, are realistic and well done, giving viewers a brief taste of exactly what has the protagonist so psychologically marked. All in all, Gut is a fantastic outing that does well to draw horror fans back from the overly done CGI-filled remakes and over-promoted slasher duds currently permeating the market.

Now these days every director think that finishing a movie with Negative end(They would call them self that it is twist or suspense) will make the movie unforgettable or famous.But 99 percentage of this movie is failed. They show only problems. But no solution. This movie shows only problems. Not showing what is the solution or How to turn things better. Wasted my time and data. See more 02/07/2016 this movie is absolute garbage... See more 06/19/2015 What gives this film some merit is the approach Elias takes in presenting psychological horror. This movie could easily have become a gore-fest, but instead attempts to provide "tension" and "horror" through the use of his two principal actors and a series of uncomfortable and awkward situations. The problem is that there is not enough information from which his two actors can utilize to better understand what is going on. Actor, Jason Vail, gives it all he's got in capturing not only his character's ever growing dilemma and paranoia. However, is in an all-too vague insight into whether what "Tom" sees grips him because of "repulsion" or "twisted eroticism" --- this might have been the director's goal. But I didn't find the film interesting enough to really care. However, one must give Elias credit for making a film that deals with "the snuff movie" -- which one can only hope is "urban myth" --- without ever resorting to the depravity of applying the typical level of perverse glee that often sneaks into such topics. There are some very strong indicators here that Elias might turn out to be great filmmaker. But it won't be because of this film. See more 09/21/2014 Not your traditional horror movie. Where most fail and focus on all the gore and guts to gross you out this movie albeit a slow burn builds a slow relationship with you and the two main characters. Details which are usually omitted actually stick out in your recollection and endear you to the characters. Could definitely use some polishing and maybe even more current day dialogue. Interesting idea and the ending ironically needed more punch but really nice effort in the new age horror genre See more 10/11/2013 bland Boring and shot on shitto See more Read all reviews
