One of the worst horror made movie I've ever seen in my life time! They really done a number of cheap ways of making this film using distortion visual and so on. Not a good way to make a movie. Don't waste you time watching this film, you will regret it. Waste of my time, big time!

I liked it

I do wish I could give it a higher mark, but some of the way its shot comes off as amateurish and disjointed. I really hate the shaky camera business - even though in this case it is done for a certain effect I still wish they would have come up with another way.
But the story is really interesting and creative, albeit it can be difficult to follow and may not be for everyone. This is definitely not gonna be for everyone its very creative but I enjoyed it.

Usually when a film has polarized reviews, I see this as a sign that there's something good about it that most people just aren't getting. But not this time. While the story idea has merit, the acting, script, and direction are all just so far below par that I have to throw my lot in with the low reviewers. I love horror so much that I'm very tolerant of flaws. But this was just bad, bad, bad.
NO way!!

Guys, i ve watch this thing just because of you!!!
i wish i wasnt seing it at all! how did you come up with this crew?
Story line wasnt for everyone, i get it! but acting and the people in this should be way better!!!!!!!
And the way you shoot it!!!??? Cheap copy of some Horror movies which i dont even wanna say the names!
i expect better from you, either you were need it quick money and you ve got cheap crew or you ve slept with does women and you couldnt say no ...
you need to rethink of being director again or ask to yourself; if its the way you wanna waste your name like this!
Go back to special effects or do it something better!!

Carrion(2020)
robfollower13 May 2021
Screenwriter and director Michael Zaiko Hall is interested in aesthetics, coolness, beauty, and conveying strong emotions rather than shooting intelligible content. By the time terror kicked in, halfway in, I forgot I was watching a horror movie. Needless to say, the gore hit like a ton of bricks. The once soothing and contemplative experience got compromised, taking me out of my comfort zone.
The women in the lead are gorgeous, which should be mentioned considering it sums up the whole film. Carrion has tremendous depth and what I perceive as layers, though I must admit I didn't understand half the story. I hope it makes sense to the creator so I can investigate further, assuming that answers can be found. It's effective surrealism, nonetheless, and it makes us feel alive.
Carrion has the kind of editing that takes getting used to and adds complexities to the narrative. The editing may not rub everyone the right way, but it certainly wasn't neglected. Every aspect of this movie feels experimental, but the quality makes it all worthwhile. The danger, with Carrion, is to have trust in its polish and be led to believe it is a better film than it is.

Wow! I didn't expect that.

Surprisingly interesting....

So many reviews saying it's the worst movie ever seen. That seems a bit dramatic. While the acting could have been improved and the story was a bit dodgy...I really liked the feel of the movie. The way it was shot reminded me of Panos Cosmatos movies "Beyond the Black Rainbow" and "Mandy". With so many crappy horror movies out in the last couple years that have been essentially shot on iPhones....this was refreshing. Again, far from perfect, but who needs perfect every movie? I think the director has a bright future.

Amateurish acting, but fun and visually impressive
saw8528 August 2021
My biggest complaint about this film is the acting. The lead actress is decent, but the others are often unconvincing when delivering their lines. If you can look past that, it's a fun B-movie with gorgeous visuals and a clever twist ending. At ~72 minutes it doesn't overstay its welcome either.
The strongest element of this film is its visual appeal. While many things about "Carrion" feel low-budget, the cinematography and editing are excellent. I see that the director is an experienced visual effects artist and it really shows here.
The plot is a bit sparse, or shall we say impressionistic. This movie is more focused on creating a feeling and a visual experience rather than a rich narrative. I would have given the plot a thumbs down, but I think the twist in the final act redeemed it for me. I didn't find it scary, but it was fun and quirky.
Another reviewer compared this movie to the work of Panos Cosmatos and that seems fair. I think "Beyond the Black Rainbow" is a better movie overall, but if you enjoyed it then I'd recommend giving "Carrion" a try.

Yeah this is really really really bad

When you use "I'm a movie director" as a pick up line... don't actually put the women you're trying to get with in your movie if you are indeed a movie director. That's the only way I can imagine this movie being made. Pretty girls, terrible acting and an atrociously bad movie that jumps around so much you can't even follow it.
a welcome surprise
skipwilson-1415631 May 2020
This one surprised me. Not what I expected, but quite unique and possibly even special for those with an open mind. First the bad: the story is a bit confusing. Some of the acting is soft. With that out of the way I'll say that Carrion is a slow scifi slasher that seems to exist in a weird parallel B-movie universe. I can see real cinema influences in this, probably over the head of fans trawling low budget horror flicks for cheap thrills. I'm not surprised it's getting some hate. This movie has other things on its mind. Evil men in the woods, time loops, planets, psychics. It's all very ambiguous, but if you stay to the end and follow the clues there's something that stays with you. With so much derivative, audience pandering horror out there - something this DIFFERENT is a welcome surprise and I plan to watch it a second time.
