Ejecta (2014)

Best movie ever!

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The acting in this movie is really good.

I don't do many reviews unless the movie deserve it, and this one really deserve it!This is a hybrid, no doubt of it. We have a mockumentary within a third person storytelling. I didn't expect much, specially from the rating in this site. I usually don't read the reviews and if I do I take my chances and watch under my own risk.We watch Julian Richings (an amazing performer) as William "Bill" Cassidy, who is interviewed by Joe Sullivan who is making a documentary of Cassidy because he is famous for his "alien history". At the same time we see that William is actually imprisoned by military forces leaded by Dr. Tobin, and they intend to torture William with alien devices to reach an answer about all what he knows.Everything take a twist when we realize that Dr. Tobin is watching the documentary that reveal more than William is willing to. And is more twisting when we found out why William can survive all alien torture devices... I confess it was not surprise at first to me, but then all went freaking unexpected: William is William... and is more than that.So, I do like this film a lot. The acting of Richings was great as usual, and the rest of the cast try to comply the level with all their acting abilities, not all of them can do it, but is a good work.The best: I like the opening a lot, the cinematography was good, the setting was pretty decent, the acting was good, the music was awesome, excellent script.The worst: some scenes are unnecessary and don't match the plot. Some acting is not good in supporting performers (fortunately they don't have much screen time)8/10I do recommend this one.Watch at your own risk ... We are all critics, but must see to give a critic.

I do believe this is possibly the absolute worst movie I've watched in my entire life. As a fan of the genre, I really hate to see this movie lumped in with sci-fi at all. Because it really gives sci-fi a bad rap. Yes, it's that bad. I think the best thing Lisa Houle could do is to try another career. Her 'performance' is the absolute worst acting I've seen from any human being... ever. For this reason alone I just could not recommend that anyone waste their time watching this piece of wasted cellulose. The plot has holes that just cannot be reconciled. The only saving grace in this video is that I didn't have to spend actual money on it. This is just bad all the way around. Don't waste your time.

I wasn't completely disappointed with this film. There were a couple of things that really were clever. I wished they would have capitalized on those nuances that were unique and steered clear of the "found footage" filming style. Haven't we had enough found footage films to last a life time? What worked well is the use of real complaints that some of the abductees report; missing memory, showing up in strange places with no way of knowing how they got there, and the sleepless dull pain shrouded in unadulterated fear. That was creepy storytelling. It was a twist to consider the idea something is also controlling some of the visitors just like humans are controlled. Assuming all alien contact is only part of a bigger conspiracy of highly intelligent entities controlling the rest was a bright spot. Dire film with simple special effects made for a solid picture to catalog along with others that make the grade! Quick moving fun!

Come on! If it doesn't have a budget of hundreds of million of dollars it's a bad movie? The IMDb rating is way too low for this film.It is not perfect, that I admit, but it is far from bad. I think the worst part of it was the interrogation room. They used some weird tech and they made a great effort to explain that no one knows how it works, only what it does. It had absolutely nothing to do with the story. Also the psychopathic doctor cliché went a little bit too far and for no good reason.It basically played out like an over extended Outer Limits episode sans the budget. Lots of annoying clichés were used like the evil shadowy government organization, the humanoid alien that makes cameras fizzle right when it enters the shot, the found footage bit, the black eyes, etc. However it stops right at the edge of being too much and overall it kind of works.Bottom line: the ridiculous low budget shows in the special effects, the sets and, unfortunately, the acting quality. The story, though, is interesting enough to keep someone watching and always trying to understand what is going on. I wouldn't recommend it, but I can't tell people off, either. A bit too long for the content, though.
