The Culling (2015)

Overrated and overhyped

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I got this movie on DVD without knowing anything about it. I watched it, and I really enjoyed it. it was good. It wasn't amazing, and I have seen much better horror movies, but it had all the good points of a horror film. A scream, an ending you don't expect, and has you theorising about what's going on throughout, and overall has a good atmosphere and length. It felt like there were some part of of it that were unpolished, the acting and directing seemed a little off in certain places, and I think that perhaps the director hasn't done too many movies before, but its a good effort, with good special effects and a very good story. Could have it been better? yes. Could it have been worse? MUCH more so. Definitely worth a watch for anyone who likes horror films.

Let me start by saying I understand the collaborative nature of the film-making process. When a movie is particularly well made, the accolades go mostly to the actors and directors, while the scores of set and costume designers, lighting technicians, and sound editors go largely unrecognized. When a movie is well made, fans quote it endlessly, it rakes in cash at the box office, and people remember it for years or even decades. When a movie is well made, it introduces memorable characters the audience can identify with because they see a part of their own personality being played out on the screen.The Culling is not a well made movie.There is nothing relatable or even recognizable as natural human behavior present in any of the characters. The acting is stiff and wooden across the board. The dialogue sounds as if it were written by a 12-year-old Juggalo. The only thing more prevalent in the script than plot holes, loose ends, and red herrings is the question mark at the end of every other sentence.I have sat through some terrible films. I have seen Mark Wahlberg pant his confused way through "The Happening." I have seen three-foot-tall trolls fart on each other for interminable spans of time in "The Garbage Pail Kids Movie." I have seen a topless woman in a gorilla mask wordlessly rob a man at gunpoint, stealing only a horribly disfigured fetus floating in a jar in 1997's "Hideous!" The Culling is the worst movie I have ever seen. Avoid it at all costs.

Yawn. There was nothing new, and I wasn't drawn in by the characters or the storyline.I know some have criticized the acting, but I didn't see anything wrong with it. I've seen better, but I've also seen far worse acting in horror movies.The storyline wasn't original. It doesn't necessarily have to be. I've seen plenty of recycled story lines, but the execution of this was just...yawn. The kids should've thought something was amiss when the parents run to the doctor and leave their little girl in the care of people THEY DON'T KNOW! Even stranger, the stupid kids accept that responsibility. The story wasn't awful, just boring. I know some can look at those as being one in the same.I will say Elizabeth Di Prinzio and Chris Coy did good acting in their roles. Di Prinzio was the lead, so you have to hope she can act at least a little. She brought the right amount of emotion to her scenes. Coy was good in his role. This was, however, a step down from his role of Martin in The Walking Dead.The CGI monster at the end was silly. He was only there for about two seconds. It's just as well it was for such a short time. It was poorly done.I don't recommend, unless you have the need to see every horror movie out there. When voting commences on this, I'll give it a 4-star rating.

I loved this movie! This little gem came as a complete suprize, it stars Jeremy Sumpter, who I'm a huge fan of and Linsey Godfrey and Harley Graham who I know from The Bold And The Beautiful. The culling will keep you on the edge of your seat as you wonder what is it with this little girl? I totally recommend this movie It is an easy watch as it will keep you entertained until the last frame. I am a huge fan of horror and this is a great horror film please give The Culling a watch you will be glad you did! I hope 2015 finds horror fans happy and healthy and in the store buying The Culling
