The Mind's Eye (2015) Reviews
Decent homage to 80's films, but the uneven acting really soured what could have been a special film
As a child of the 80's, I grew up with these kinds of films; films about people with special powers and government cover-ups. This film does a great job of evoking that same feeling, with a decent script and a pretty decent SFX budget. The acting, however, was beyond hacky, and really marred the integrity of the film. Almost everyone involved in this movie was just awful, with overacting and poor delivery abundant in every scene. It was like watching a student film at times, with people who have no business being in front of a camera. With a more talented cast, this would have been a worthy addition to 80's horror films. As it stands, it is a decent film with some really bad talent attached to it. Watch it for the carnage and gore, but be advised, you will be rolling your eyes every time someone attempts to deliver their lines with a straight face.
Terrible.
You can't direct a pastiche without adding a few humorous nods to the elements you're using. Otherwise it simply comes off as painfully cliché, overdone crap. I agree with the "most helpful" review, in that it definitely feels like a student film. In fact, that was my very first critical thought. I was somewhere around the half hour mark, and said to myself, "This is like a bad student film." None of the actors stood out, nor were they bad enough to be funny/ made fun of. For instance: Jeremy Irons in Dungeons and Dragons? That is gloriously bad ham acting, so bad that it actually makes the loop back to good, because it's just so damn funny at times. The villain could have taken some notes from Irons' performance there- or indeed, ANY time that Irons has played a villain- because he never hit that over-the-top stride that should be seen in both the 80's horror and pastiche genre. This film either needed to take itself much more or much less seriously.
A bad "Scanners" wannabe. Just bad.
First of all, it gets a 3 just because of the effort, the actors and camera work were pretty decent for some low budget movie, so I am recognizing their work. The other missing 7 stars are just because of the awful script. it's so bad that you will be shouting at the TV in some scenes. For instance, the main good guy has the chance to kill the main bad guy in the first 20 minutes of the movie but refuses it, although before he killed some of his henchmen trying to escape from his prison institution. And all this just to kill the bad guy for real at the end of the movie (duh!). Yep, the writing is that bad. 4th grade kid's homework bad. Another thing that bugged me was the special effects, pretty cheap for this day and age, even low budget. My recommendation is to spare yourself the losing of one and a half hours of your life and just watch (again) the much better "Scanners" made by the genius of David Cronenberg.
Just like they used to make 'em!
Fantastic, fun, low budget, daft horror film made for peanuts. Just the sorta thing we here at Plop Towers love watching. Written and directed by Joe Begos who also done the cracking Almost Human. If you ask me, the horror genre, and films in general, need chaps like young Begos. People who won't let the lack of budget get in the way of telling a story, and doing so well. Same goes for anyone who reads this, if you want the world to hear your voice, do it now. Don't wait for external endorsement, sponsorship or someone to hold your hand, it won't happen. You'll probably fail, but what do you wan't to say when your ticket's punched? You tried your best, or you thought about it a lot? Good luck. (Originally at www.filmplop.blogspot.com)
Not an homage!
Homage does not mean rehash. Nor does it mean dull, unoriginal fan- fiction. That's what this is. Save yourself and just watch the material they ripped off for their "homage": Scanners The Fury Firestarter The "Stranger Things" guys did a MUCH better job. I'm not saying every aspect of this film is complete garbage, but the bones (story and writing) are. The acting is on par with the level of production. The music is fun, but only serves to make me dislike the plot line even more and see it as someone piggy-backing on much better work like the aforementioned classics. The gall it took for this to be compared to De Palma or Cronenberg baffles and angers me.
