Little Deaths (2011)

the audience applauded

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I am watching this right now. Very interesting movie. The first story is awesome. I thought it was going to be the usual stupid, sadistic torture porn made popular by Saw and Hostel. The twist, however, is brilliant and very funny. That episode gave me impression of a very good EC horror comic. The second one has a Martyrslike premise with some elements of Stephen King (visions, etc). I thought it was a terrible let down in comparison with the first. Certainly a very disturbing torture porn notion about this drug enhanced fluid which is used for industry but quite frankly the acting and characters are so weak so it is hard to care for any of them. The ending or the story had no twist at all and the ending is pretty much nonsensical. At least it could have been elaborated what actually has happened. The third one has some very impressive bsdm. Good use of music as well. Very good description of a psychopath. Moreover, I could follow the emotions and transitions. I think the first and the third rely more on comedy. Anyway, very good movie.

While most horror anthologies have a central unifying theme, or at least, a concluding wrap-up, the three short episodes in this film are totally unrelated and unconnected. This is the novelty or perhaps the weakness of this film.The first episode rocks, and Holly Lucas hit me like a tornado in this one. She was too pretty and sophisticated anyhow, to be playing the part of a homeless vagrant. With hardly any lines, she looked so vulnerable initially, when bound and raped.. so stunningly seductive when topless, with her ample, swinging assets, she herself mounted her captor, and so frightening, when she reverted to her true feral form at the end. Its her film all the way.The second episode is dull, confusing, morbid and OTP. Useless to discuss it.The third was a wicked tale of revenge by a mild guy on his overly aggressive and perverted girlfriend. Quite novel. LOL. But wholly unrealistic.I would vote 9/10 for Holly alone, but overall, the other episodes drag down the entire film, and it gets an average 4/10 from me.

There are several unrelated stories in this "little deaths" movie. However, there is a common theme: bloody gross, and that seems to be the only trick in this movie.Since there is very little story and no continuity from one story to another, you might as well surf the web for gross photos.After watching two stories, I stopped. The plot gets thinner. I like scary movie, but these are not scary; they are just exercises in gross makeup effects. I believe this genre is started by the movie Saw.Since I did not finish watching the DVD, I may be missing some brilliant finale, but probably not.I borrowed the DVD from a local library. I hope nobody pays to see this.

I thought and thought for entire seconds just how I might make this sound even vaguely interesting. Then I gave up.Little Deaths finds three directors taking turns to depress the audience with tales that range all the way from drab and morose to dull and dark.The first story tells the tale of a well to do couple who dabble in living on the edge, only to find the edge has moved.It isn't that interesting.The second story introduces a wonder drug from a frankly gross source with incredible qualities.It also wasn't interesting, but at least it had one mildly original concept.The third story was about the very definition of the odd couple.It was terrible, and the ending was even worse than terrible. It was dumb.The first story was sorta horror I guess.The second a Nine Inch Nails film clip concept.The third was just dumb.Final Rating – 4.5 / 10. Look there were moments in the 90 minutes where I wish I understood just what the hell was supposed to be entertaining or subversive about all this, in the end I decided I am happier not knowing. To me this is a waste of time. Lap it up emo-kids.
