Trip (III) (2022) User Reviews

Interesting what one can do with a very limited budget

[balthesaur · 4/10 · 10 June 2022]

Following the suicide death of her daughter, Ally Larkin (Akasha Villalobos) comes into contact with a therapist named Jan (Peggy Scott), who says that, with the help of a special tea, Ally can see her daughter again. When she drinks just a sip of the mysterious red liquid, she begins to hallucinate and finds it difficult to discern what is real, in 'Trip'.

A lot of modest, home-movie like films depend on a single set piece, and this is no different; everything takes place in one house. The camera work is unique, but the acting is sub-par. Everything leading up to the third act is like that of a community college theater troupe. The special effects are a nice touch, but its not enough to redeem this otherwise amateur film.

That all being said, it does have a plot, it does make its' logical conclusion, and it is fairly easy to follow. Watch if you're bored, but don't expect awe-inspiring greatness here.

Akasha couldn't save this !

Very interesting starting off ...but then it just turned into a mess. The kid in the closet was a bit far fetched ...Great acting by Akasha was the only bright spot. Just got too confusing at the end. Worth a watch I guess.

Following her daughter Samantha's (Jill Young) suicide by gouging her eyes out, Ally (Akasha Villalobos) hasn't left the house, trapped by agoraphobia. Help may be here, as she meets Jan (Peggy Schott), a therapist who uses a hallucinogenic tea that allows her patients to speak with the dead, which will allow her to see Samantha one more time.

There's a catch.

Now Ally can see so much more, like a masked man outside, a child with no mouth and a rage-filled Samantha who wants her to suffer the same eye damage - Fulci would love her! - that she died from.

It gets stranger.

Now her husband Michael (Major Dodge) is seeing the same things, yet they're even more dangerous for him, thanks to The Abuso, an African eye-stealing demon who his daughter had been drawing before her death.

Directed and written by Neil McCay, Trip is a movie that realizes that if your budget is low, your ideas must go high. It's the first full-length movie that he's made and it really points to a strong future for his work.

WORST MOVIE

WORST MOVIE EVER This movie was a waste of money and time the filming editing and story made me want to cry it was the worst movie I've ever seen it was even worse than the ledge.

A Director To Watch.

I stumbled onto this little gem quite by accident. I was pulled in from the beginning. I am not one to spoil the plot, but if you enjoy supernatural horror with a little gore and a lot of subtext, this one is worth a watch. I will certainly be looking out for more from Neil McCay in the future.
