Plush (2013)

Sadly Over-hyped

Awesome Movie

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

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

The film opens with a man getting his rocks off to a woman tied in a chair. Cue credits...Jack (Thomas Dekker) and his sister Hayley (Emily Browning) are famous dark rock musicians. Hayley gets married to Carter (Cam Gigandet) a nice guy journalist and they have twins. Jack meanwhile OD. Enzo (Xavier Samuel) who is obsessed with their music, replaces Jack in the band. It isn't long before the formulaic infidelity and with Enzo becoming too dark for Hayley...and oh, they tie back into the beginning in a most boring way.The lack of originality made this thriller, lacking for real thrills. Okay rental.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, brief nudity (Emily Browning)

Hayley, a successful singer makes a perfect duo with Jack. They have many fans and peoples comes to their concerts to hear them sing. One night Jack dies after an drug overdose and in his replacement is brought Enzo, an young and talented composer and singer. But things soon get out of control and the two reaches to make more then just music so Hayley is cheating on his husband, Carter. Their adventures keeps on repeating and Hayley remains pregnant although the intimate relationship between her and Carter and almost nonexistent. He soon starts to believe that there is something going on with her wife and the new singer and now Hayley asks help from Annie in order to try and straight things up. But it will not be so easy because Enzo is not who she imagine to be.The beginning is good, then it becomes confusing, boring and unwatchable but the last half an hour is the best and manage to save the whole movie along with the good performance from Xavier Samuel.

This film tells the story of a young woman in a rock band with her brother. After her brother died of drug overdose, a guitarist is hired to be a part of the band. Unfortunately, the guitarist turns out to be a freak. The story then concentrates on how she deals with the drastic consequences.The plot is thrilling and well told. There are some clues to the freaky guitarist in the beginning but they are quite subtle, so the story is not spoilt. Emily Browning gives a good performance as a rock chick, and the guitarist is convincing too. The husband, played by Cam Gigandet, is not so convincing though, but that's a minor problem. I also like the songs too, and I can feel the filmmakers' respect for music because the songs are played in its entirety. I liked "Plush" and enjoyed it.

A tale of obsession that turns dangerous. I actually quite liked this, then again I wasn't expecting much out of it (hence the cover) but I adore Emily Browning and I knew this role would be a lot different for her. She was terrific! The music was surprisingly catchy (call me a cheese-ball, but it's true), I found myself humming to some of the songs long after watching. It's definitely not boring and pretty much covered everything from romance and music to mystery and thriller with a hard learned lesson on family and marriage. I liked that it felt realistic. The American accents were done well from some of the Australian cast, but not perfect. The acting was above average. The ending was predictable and little cliché, yet necessary. The punk rock vibe was genuine.Was it scary? Hell no. Creepy? Yes, having a psycho band member stalk you, seduce you, who looks almost identical to your deceased brother is pretty messed up. If you like thrillers with a bit of edge, it's definitely worth a watch.
