Pod

The American horror film Pod is a film that won’t offend you in any way, and in fact it's decent, but it lacks that little something extra that would make me rate it as at least average. This way it's a pretty solid sub-average, but in the end you'll still end up remembering nothing much from the film. There are just too many of these types of horror films in the long run.

Decent horror-mystery snack. Keating wanted to make something like an episode of The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits or The X-Files as a feature film, and pulled it off, I believe. The question is whether it’ll be enough for the audience. For me, this time it was. This young director has, I hope, many films in his future to hone his unquestionable talent with some true gem. At times, Pod is nicely atmospheric and paranoid to scary, but also somewhat unfocused, there are scenes that feel like from another film and pulled me out of the experience. Oh! And Lyla, played by Lauren Ashley Carter, is probably the biggest cow in the history of filmmaking. (05.09.2015)
