Still Life (2014)
4/10
Good potential, but sadly ruined...
25 October 2018
I loved the film's un-cliched opening scene, which was really scary. The film then becomes an interesting mystery thriller, with a journalist looking for a story, and finding clues to the mystery. I actually got nervous for all the chances Jazmin (Luz Cipriota) took to gain information.

Sadly, though, the film becomes nothing more than a propaganda film, trying to get people to stop eating meat. I'm also against animal cruelty, but this is taking it to the extreme. I can understand the antagonist killing people who torture or harm animals (in the worst possible ways as vividly shown in video footage), but why is he killing people simply because they eat meat? This ruined a potentially good film. The film's final moments also felt (and looked) cheap and rushed compared to the first three quarters.
