Still Life (2014) User Reviews

Not that much Horror, first part weaker than second one.

[gimailito · 5/10 · 16 October 2018]

I must say that the overall is not that bad. That said, the first part is weaker than the second part or half of the movie. It is more a Mystery movie than a Horror one.

The thing is that there is something going on but we do not know who or what or the reasons behind it. We know all that in the resolution, more or less twenty minutes before the end of the movie.

I had several theories, I am saying that because as I said there is no Slasher here. There is not a man killing people one by one with blades and a lot of blood involved.

Conclusion, if you are looking for Horror you better watch another one but if you are looking for Mystery then you will at least find it tolerable. If you liked that one and you are looking for more Horror parts then check Los olvidados (2017).

Well filmed but lacked tension.

This was a pretty decent horror drama, coming out of Argentina. The movie was well directed but after a promising opening and some rather interesting theories, concerning the the maltreatment of animals and the old 'meat is murder' analogy, there seemed little time to really deliver a completely, satisfying film.

Good potential, but sadly ruined...

I loved the film's un-cliched opening scene, which was really scary. The film then becomes an interesting mystery thriller, with a journalist looking for a story, and finding clues to the mystery. I actually got nervous for all the chances Jazmin (Luz Cipriota) took to gain information.

Sadly, though, the film becomes nothing more than a propaganda film, trying to get people to stop eating meat. I'm also against animal cruelty, but this is taking it to the extreme. I can understand the antagonist killing people who torture or harm animals (in the worst possible ways as vividly shown in video footage), but why is he killing people simply because they eat meat? This ruined a potentially good film. The film's final moments also felt (and looked) cheap and rushed compared to the first three quarters.

It sucked cattle 'rocky mountain oysters'

I am so tired of these low budget 'horror' movies abusing the genre. I was particularly aggravated by the slow-walking-through-the-house scenes simply to add to the running time.

I am so p@ssed at this movie I'll boil it down for you - an animal activist is a psycho masquerading as a crusading professor against animal cruelty, mainly in slaughterhouses. So he kills people and feeds them to animals. The whole movie is a messed up garbled mixture of cow farts causing global warming to animals should have the same rights as us.

SKIP IT.

Fun and Original Film

[demmrook · 7/10 · 13 April 2020]

I loved the film. Its Original. Really low Budget from Argentna. A little slow in the second act. But i loved the first part and the end with the gory scenes and the interesting twist. The scene with real footage is one of the bloodiest things i´ve seen in my life. I will score it a 7.

Drawn Out

[DialoguePlotTwist · 3/10 · 7 October 2018]

My opinion.. A painfully drawn out film with unlikable characters and a lot of scratch your head moments. The last 25 minutes of the movie is what I was waiting for, however, it was unclear if the ending was prior to the main plot line timeline or after. Extremely disappointing.
