Anton Bitel Little White Lies A blistering tale of group psychosis and Darwinist brutality... The results, though a little stagey, are raw, confronting, and unremittingly grim. It is Boll at his best. Aug 27, 2009 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore A modern tragedy set amongst a group of supposedly non-violent offenders who become unimaginably cruel and violent under vicious group psychosis.

Demetris A That's disgusting humanity. Do NOT watch it. It leaves nightmares. But if you are a thug and prone to go to jail, then watch it. It will prevent you from committing ANY crime! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Audience Member Can we please talk about the ELEPHANT in the room? Okay, reviewers said the acting and words were pretty cliche..eh, these are inmates..they usually don't speak eloquently. And "boring?" Definitely not, unless your a Sociopath. Great directing, great acting, great raw video footage and I liked the interview segments in between disgustingness. I love scary movies, I love drama. This Movie Was Shockingly Beyond Gross. It will stick with you for days after And Guys. Really? Is this how you really are? Reviewers acting so casual about the fact that a man sticking his penis in a man's ASS that he so called hates, as what an excuse? Is this what men secretly want to do? I only see women seeing this as the most vile movie they have ever seen, here. Peter character was shocked when it got sexual. Yes what he did was awful enough. Just when you think this poor kid has had way more than enough .there is something more. This movie makes men look like animals. Worse. I looked it all up. It's all true. It happened. I would seriously like to know why men pretend that other men's hairy asses digust them. Obviously not too much. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member My god how did I miss this. Uwe Boll apparently made his red dragon if u know what I mean. This is one of the most realistic, claustrophobic, disturbing, and emotionally charged films ive ever seen. You have to see this. Perfectly shot for the material, wonderfully acted with a hauntingly subtle score. This is the best Edward Furlong has been since American history X. Wow. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It's actualy not that bad check it out Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Soulless drama with a lacking story, and poor cast, Stoic is a bland film that really has no point. The intentions to create a serious drama are wasted due to the visceral quality that the film possesses. The cast here are terrible, and the film takes on a poorly made for TV feel, that just doesn't feel right. Stoic however is not made for TV, it just feels that way. This is one of the few more serious films by director Uwe Boll, and although he tried his best at making an effective drama, the film is purely a waste due to the fact that the film's plot feels stitches together within an hour or so. Boll is notorious in making bad films, but at times he has made good films. However Stoic, although a step in the right direction, doesn't deliver anything worthwhile for viewers. As you watch Stoic, you realize how bleak it really is, and how depressing the finished product is. Uwe Boll fails at delivering a good drama, and the cast really don't stand out here. Stoic is a train wreck by a director who clearly can't grasp at making an effective genre picture. Don't go into this one expecting a great film, you'll be disappointed. Boll would make a few better films, but Stoic isn't one of them. However, it does show that is willing to venture into more dramatic territory, which is good because all of his video game adaptations are horrible. Watch a different film if you want a better drama. Stoic is one of those films that have redeeming aspects to make it a truly engaging film going experience. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow. This is terrible, brutal, and unimaginable. How much of it is based on facts, I don't know but it may be worth looking into. If it did happen this way, it never, ever should have. If it was the director's intent to make me feel horrified, he has succeeded. This is quite disturbing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
