Review of Discopathe

Discopathe (2013)
2/10
The 70s were never like this - thankfully
11 April 2015
When I started watching this I thought I was in for a treat. A good horror (from the reviews), decent music, and lots of great memories of the 70s.

None of those 'treats' came along.

The story of this movie is OK, but the 'horror' part of the film is missing. It's almost a comedy - but its not funny. In fact, it is awful.

A few 'effects' obviously using dummies and some dodgy cardboard.

The film makers manage to replicate the 70s quite well at the beginning of the film - especially the very beautiful dark haired skater girl - the kind of girl I used to chase after in my teenage years - but they missed some attention to detail.

The movie starts in English then switched to French, so be warned if you are not fortunate to be bilingual or able to read subtitles.

Jérémie Earp-Lavergne gives a very poor performance as the lead character. Nothing much more to be said about his acting really.

I'd say one to miss and leave on the shelf.
