Review of Anguish

Anguish (1987)
3/10
A novel idea but mostly disappointing and annoying

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of those films that starts out promising and then a quarter of the way through you realize that you've picked up something that is going to be a disappointment. And you'd be right.

This is also one of those films that shows the audience watching the film and that in itself is a novel idea if done right and this isn't.

What starts out as atmospheric and intense ends with a somewhat predictable and annoying end. Too bad too because the acting is actually quite good. Lot of money went into the sets and production design. Lot of work went into picking out just the right props. The film has a lot going for it including the original story but it isn't executed well. Why didn't they just make this a straight film? It could have been a great horror flick.

I say skip this and hunt out a different horror flick. If you want eyeball horror watch "Mansion of the Doomed".
