Review of Slip

Slip (2006)
7/10
Slip: Well okay then!
26 June 2018
This obscure little supernatural thriller was made on a budget of just 50k yet it looks like a AAA movie.

It tells the story of a girl who keeps getting possessed by the dead in order for them to right wrongs in their lives. One day she is taken over by a small time car thief and it changes her life forever.

Truth is I really quite liked this, it's a well constructed well acted little movie that goes in directions I simply didn't expect. Fascinating and a fantastic demonstration that you don't need a big budget or well known names to make a competent film.

It ticks every box and only doesn't rate higher due to the highly lackluster ending. Had the ending been on par with the rest of the film this truly would have been something really special.

Regardless this is still a very good effort, consider me impressed.

The Good:

Very well made

Outstanding for its budget

The Bad:

Another protagonist I simply can't care about

Ending is a bit of a jumbled mess

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

He has a dishonest job but he has an honest soul has to be one of the dumbest lines I've ever heard in a film

Known actors take you out of the illusion, thats why movies like these work so well
