Prank (2013)
A surprisingly complex, naturally acted thriller. Go see it. Now.
This movie was definitely a surprise for me. I had seen some of the reviews and expected a really good movie. . .but I had no idea of how wonderfully unsettling and unforgettable it was going to be. Yiuwing Lam (Writer/Director) is such a compelling storyteller- weaving a dark humor, wit and intelligence throughout the entire screenplay. He used a "found footage" technique to tell the story, but some of the shots he sets up with lighting and shadows are so artistic. And I just couldn't take my eyes off Henry Monfries. His acting was so natural and every move.. .so authentic. And Nick Renaud deftly takes you on an emotional journey while still feeling so real. Something that stood out to me was this one line about perseverance. Both main actors say the same exact line for polar opposite reasons and there is something about that; it intrigued me. I keep coming back to that line in my mind. Overall, during the movie I laughed (albeit, nervously), I was creep-ed out, I was relieved and then. . .well, I can't tell you anymore. A must-see! In fact. . .I must see this again.
