Wayne K A fragmented and meandering but interesting and well shot quasi horror film from Larry Fessenden, No Telling is pretty obscure, but it tells the age-old story of science screwing around with nature and facing the consequences. It raises some good points about organic farming, the ethics of animal experiments and the troubles a relationship can suffer when one member is buried in their work. It looks great for a low budget film, the sound is crisp and the acting is pretty good. We get to spend a lot of time with a relatively small cast of characters, so we get to know how they think and behave, and nobody acts completely out of character just for the sake of the plot. Some of the messaging is very on the nose, and there’s a lingering sense that the film has one note and is determined to play it as hard as possible and for as long as possible, but it’s still an example of how a horror film can touch on some very sensitive realities and do it without half measures. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Susann T that movie had nice landscapes, but there was no plot just a lunatic torturing animals and who knows how it ended. Why the old man punched the dude who knows and then the wife just drives away in a car that’s it really really crappy movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Audience Member Great social message...but badly acted, slow developed, and for some reason a half cow half dog thing... The message of animal testing and how it is warranted for sake of human benefit (and corporate gain) is an interesting debate. Unfortunately this movie doesn't do the message justice and goes for cheap gore and illogic. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The first part of Larry Fessenden's "Trilogy of Horror" is a gut-wrenching psychological horror movie. If you can't stomach to watch animal cruelty you shouldn't watch this one. You don't need any monsters to make a movie scary though, the human race is scarier by far. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member "Mad Scientist" Geoffrey struggles to keep his wife, Lillian, from finding out about his macabre experiments involving animals. Although the concept is very interesting, the acting is a little off sometimes. I didn't enjoy the film's soundtrack - it detracted from the mood of the film. Some of the camera shots were very artistic but sometimes unnecessary. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member i didn't really like this. it was kind of creepy.
