EXAM



This one is a thriller/mystery type of movie.  

I neutral on this one.  I wasn't wooo'd or upset at this one. 

Its low-budget in the sense there is just one set through the whole movie and you don't know the actors.  Does it change the quality?  Not at all.  As unfamiliar as these actors are they all did pretty decent work.   The set is cool.  Its a quality set up room. 


The story is about 8 individuals who go to this exam/interview/test for a job in a selective corporation.  Its a bit of a psychological game.  A riddle in essence.  The candidates have to figure out what this corporation wants as they have been given a "test" which is blank that has to be finished after 80 minutes in this room with 8 others.  They have been I can't give away too much information as this would spoil the movie for whoever wants to watch it.  They have rules, different motives, different and sometimes conflicting personalities- all ingredients to make this interesting.


If you are a film student then I think you will like this one.  Because its a quality low budget movie.  Good script and well directed all credited to the writer/director Stuart Hazeldine.  The actors weren't corny.   It all came together on the final output.  Film students will appreciate this and some will even dick-bite.

Did it work for me?  Ehhhh......it was str8.  I liked The Experiment better.

My critique: Average but decent enough to watch.
3.25/5
