Review of Requiem

Requiem (2006)
1/10
Boring snoozefest
16 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I kept on expecting something big or exciting to happen. Then around one hour in, i just wanted something to happen, anything. It was one of the most boring movies i've ever seen. The pace was so slow. It moved like a snail with a handicap. And the whole ambiguity thing that they tried to do about whether it was possession or epilepsy/psychosis was horrible. She never even agreed to go visit a psychiatrist so how can anyone rule out schizophrenia? What she had surely fit the symptoms of it to me. Because of this, the movie failed b/c it was apparent to me that she had schizophrenia and just needed the medication for it. THis makes her death (due to exhaustion? What the heck. Maybe if she didn't do so much screaming during the exorcism she wouldn't be so exhausted enough to die from it) seem totally pointless. The only reason i stuck through it was b/c i was having a lazy Sunday and just wanted to lay there on my couch and there was nothing else on.

So i warn you, if you have low tolerance for slow moving, boring, non-eventful movies, with practically no plot, stay clear of this movie.
