A brainwashing app? No, thanks

the last 30 minutes are okay
Have seen a few flicks about apps going wrong or the use of internet making you berserk like Unfriended (2014), APP (2013) and Friend Request (2016) I knew what those flicks can do.
Other Halves is about an app for singles choosing your other half but naturally their is something wrong with the app which makes users become sexual active and killers. Looks promising but there are a few problems with the flick.
When the users go mad, they do kill but it's all on a low base. It's mostly done off-camera so for geeks of the genre there isn't that much to pick up. The score used do reminds you of those Italian giallo's and that's okay but overall this flick doesn't deliver the creeps. It is even stated as a comedy, not one laugh on my face. What I was surprised of was the amount of gratuitous nudity.
I can understand that teens will have some jumpy moments or will turn their face away sometimes but I missed the touch like those other flicks I mentioned before.
It's not all that bad, but it's one you will forget immediately after watching it. Let's say that the last 30 minutes are worth watching.

Truly shocking, but not in the horror sense
Ridiculous premise

OTHER HALVES is pretty damn sexy for an indie horror film.
OTHER HALVES is super-creepy, has a really cool under-lying concept and is pretty damn sexy for an indie horror film. I agree with some of the other reviewers about the cinematography and lighting being exceptional. I also really liked the use of saturated color. It reminded me of a 70's Italian horror flick and really added to the surrealism and sci-fi feel which is a nice twist on modern horror. I felt the acting was really intense and real which also really added to the experience. If you're into more intelligent horror, rather than just another SAW rip-off, this is your film! Highly recommend!
