A thriller about a stalker? That's normally my cup of tea. So I thought I was going to have an enjoyable evening with this movie. But then it started with that more then annoying music. I thought that it was just the intro of the movie and that we would get into the story in a second. But no, after 20 - 30 minutes the bitch was still singing and it's the kind of music where I need a bucket next to my couch. So I was about to give up and turn it off, a thing that I hardly ever do, but then the story was kind of starting bit by bit. The end was much better then the beginning so that's why I gave it a 5 star rating. If it was just for the first half hour then it would get 1 star. The actors were not that bad, it was just that annoying music that bugged me. Worth a watch but that's about it.

OK, so I had never heard about this movie, and I just get it as a birthday present so I decided to watch it.Emily Browning is not a bad actress at all, and Xavier Samuel has really good acting skills but... the problem was the direction. I can guess it is an amateur filmmaker just because it was really... amateur.I don't think it was a bad movie, I mean, I always try to reach the best part of every movie. I hate all critics going like "very brave" to put it a 1 cause... I'm not like that.However, the story was well done for an amateur director. But it would have been better if it was the 90's, you know. Kind of like watching Ren & Stimpy while you listen to Nirvana... Really, like that.A forgettable movie, but it didn't make me waste my time. At least, I loved the dresses in the film, overall Xavier's ones. jaja

This film tells the story of a young woman in a rock band with her brother. After her brother died of drug overdose, a guitarist is hired to be a part of the band. Unfortunately, the guitarist turns out to be a freak. The story then concentrates on how she deals with the drastic consequences.The plot is thrilling and well told. There are some clues to the freaky guitarist in the beginning but they are quite subtle, so the story is not spoilt. Emily Browning gives a good performance as a rock chick, and the guitarist is convincing too. The husband, played by Cam Gigandet, is not so convincing though, but that's a minor problem. I also like the songs too, and I can feel the filmmakers' respect for music because the songs are played in its entirety. I liked "Plush" and enjoyed it.

Overall, 'Plush' was executed nicely and paid homage to the artsy horror genre, without unnecessary gore and clichés. The camera work was easy to follow and the cinematography was innovative and visually interesting. Costumes and set was realistic and creative. The plot was highly dramatic and ridiculous, yet believable, which made the movie enjoyable and not cringe-worthy. The use of foreshadowing was implemented and served as a clever way to give audiences a chance to work out the twist before it was exposed at the end of the film. On a down-side, I found that the casting for some roles was slightly unbelievable: Cam Gigandet and Emily Browning had sparse chemistry, and I found their relationship as husband and wife a bit unfeasible. Otherwise, casting was accurate and all actors played their roles effectively.The film was highly sexual in some scenes, which put me off slightly, but was still necessary to the plot, which made the nudity and sex scenes bearable. Points:2 points for actors and casting2 points for cinematography and visual components. 1 point for realistic and natural script.
