Intermedio (2005)

Undescribable Perfection

Thanks for the memories!

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Oh my good night!!! no... no... no...no... This has to be the worst film I have ever seen. The sound, the acting, the lighting, the special effects, the script... it was really painful to watch. What happened to Ed Furlong's career? OK he's not a great actor but he has had some memorable performances, e.g. T2 and American History X. He was just god awful in this. Yes its low budget, but just because its low budget, thats no excuse for it to be bad. I've seen some fantastic low budget films that have blown me away. This was just utter pants! Thankfully I didn't watch it to the end, and thank goodness I didn't rent it or buy it cause I'd want my money back.Utter shambles!!!

i like Edward furlong i like horror moviesi did not like 'dead and dying'the editing was trying to be clever- without some of it the movie may not have adopted the 'try hard but shite'conclusion that i give it.drugs must have really messed up furlong because some of his previous films like terminator, American history x (highly recommended) and animal factory have shown him as quite an interesting and talented actor. dead and dying does the opposite. his acting is over the top in places and insufficient in others.i am not happy

Intermedio is set in Mexico where a guy named Wes (Callard Harris) informs his friends Malik (Eward Furlong), Gen (Cercina Vincent) & Barbie (Amber Benson) that there is a maze of tunnels beneath the Mexican Californian border which are perfect for smuggling drugs & that he has set up a deal that will make them loads of money, simple eh? Well it sounds it but Wes also says that the tunnels are apparently haunted by 'Inetrmedio's ' which is Spanish for 'In-Bewteens' which are ghost that are caught in limbo. However that doesn't stop them & they head into the tunnels, this being a horror film though the tunnels are indeed haunted by evil spirits...Directed by Andrew Lauer I thought Intermedio was crap, pure & simple. The script by Kraig Wenman has a rubbish premise that is all over the place, it never really explains itself to any degree of satisfaction & the character's are awful. Every character in this film is terrible & so unlikable, a film such as this where the characters are in peril has to have sympathetic characters that you root for & want to survive unfortunately Intermedio has none & you jut end up wanting everyone to die horribly so the rubbish your watching will just end. It's very slow, dull & boring, I mean does watching an hour of annoying teenagers wander around caves arguing & generally being very unlikable sound like fun? Does it sound exciting? Is that something you would like to sit through? Well I did sit through it & it's not far off chewing glass in terms of entertainment value. I can't be bothered to say how bad this film is, how stupid it is, how thin the story & plot are & how pointless it is so I won't.Director Lauer doesn't do anything special, there are just too many long boring stretches of these annoying kids walking around these caves arguing & it becomes extremely tedious to watch. The special effects are terrible, the ghosts look like paint smears on the screen. There is also a distinct lack of gore & violence, there's a baffling scene where a guy has a chain stuck though his eye but how? There are a few dead bodies lying around, someone gets a knife stuck in their throat & a awful scene where someone is sliced in half, the special effects in this sequence are embarrassing.With a supposed budget of about $1,000,000 Intermedio is reasonably well made despite the terrible special effects. There's still too many shots of irritating people walking around caves though. The acting is awful, it really is & this pretty much confirms the end of the careers of both Edward Furlong & Steve Railsback whose character isn't even given a name.Intermedio is absolutely crap, I'm sorry but there isn't one single positive thing I can say about it. It's stupid, full of annoying characters, there's no gore, no scares & it's pretty god damn boring as well. Definitely not recommended.

Just awful. If I were the producers, I'd get my money back from the film lab. At least, I hope they didn't get charged for color correction, since every shot has a different color balance.I'm puzzled about Cerina Vincent failing to show us anything, too. In "Not Another Teen Movie" she appeared completely nude every time she was on screen. In "Cabin Fever" she managed to keep her clothes on most of the time. Here, she just sort of jiggles a lot, but keeps her shirt on. At least some boobs would have made me give it another half of a star.Most of the time, the characters are sort of lost in a tunnel. Eve though it's conveniently strung with lights, they never think to just follow the light cables to either end.The scenes are shot in very confusing angles and you never really get a sense of where anyone is. Very amateurish. The highlight is when a couple characters are moving through a crawlspace. When they return the way they came, the director just flips the earlier scene...with the predictable result that the very distinct writing on one of the character's shirts is reversed. Guess nobody noticed or cared.Definitely not worth your time unless you just can't sleep.
