In the mind of a psycho

Rating: 8/10 (24 October 2018)

This movie is full of twist and turns that can become confusing to most people. It depicts the story of a high school kid that has a problem with seeing and they slowly become more and more realistic. The movie starts out very funny with Donnie and his older sister arguing at the dinner table while their family eats. They bicker back and forth and it becomes very funny with a few of the insults that they throw across the table at each other. After that the film slowly starts to take a turn to the more mysterious and frightening side of things. This movie is not in category of a horror film by any means, but as the film goes on there are more and more scenes that make you want to crawl under your seat. Is this due to Donnie and his family, or is it from his mental problems? There is a question that can only be answered by watching this hour and 53 min film, and trust me, it is worth every minute of it.
Personally I really enjoyed the movie. Although it became very confusing at some moments, it was all tied together by the end of the movie and made everything a lot better once I could connect the dots.As far as the structure of the film goes, I felt it was very well organized and all of the emotions that the director was going for. When they wanted the audience to laugh or become frightened and uncomfortable it was very clear and worked. The picture was very well done as well with great use of film technique such as the use of close ups, slow motion, parallel action, etc. It was all done beautifully to get the most out of every shot in this film. Overall I really enjoyed the movie and would definitely recommend it to a friend.
