Nicola (Bret Roberts) and Viola (Gabriella Wright) are going to have a baby who is going to be a doctor and a lawyer. When the baby is stillborn, this creates psychological issues. Nicola takes Viola to a remote family cabin for a getaway, although neither one seems normal as the film digresses into a WTF blood and gore fest, followed by a light clued twist that says, "see how clever we are?"The characters were odd and I couldn't connect to any of them. The twist needed better clues as it comes on you all of a sudden. The dialogue did nothing for me. The was disjointed by design to show a mental state, by it lacked entertainment value because you don't realize it until the film is almost over. Might be better a second time through, or watching it knowing the over used ending.Guide: F-bomb, sex, rape. No nudity.
... View MoreSo here I am, writing a review of this "masterpiece" . This is the first time I've ever reviewed a movie here and for good reason. Nothing has moved me enough, until now. The Perfect Husband truly is a masterpiece. A true masterpiece of awful, where I eventually believed that this movie was a comedy because of how absolutely terrible it was. I'll elaborate. The movie initially seems to have potential, albeit slow moving. Attractive couple with problems seek to solve said problems by heading out to the woods - classic horror movie plot. Except this is where the parallel to all the other "cabin in the woods" horror flicks ends. The actors are bad. From the moment you see them on screen, you hear that voice in the back of your head saying, "turn it off, save yourself" but you push on through. They can't act. They butcher the horribly written script worse than anyone is butchered in the film. The plot wears thin quickly and deteriorates to something a 10 year old would write. The cinematography, despite what other reviewers have stated, is dreadful. Painfully, the camera focuses on scenery and objects as if trying to be artistic and yet reminded me of someone with an phone taking a home movie. It was distracting to watch, but I was determined to finish this train wreck. Did I mention the acting was awful? The only reason I gave this movie 1 star (other than a minimum required) was for the sound and music which seemed appropriate and even decent throughout. Even the makeup was like something out of middle school drama class. Now, I know my review sounds harsh but it's deservedly so. Filmmakers, whether they're big shots from Hollywood or from sheep town Italy should have respect for potential viewers and prevent travesties like this one from ever being made. Here's a novel idea, screen your movie, write an original script and maybe hire someone who could act their way out of a paper bag. I know the cast of this movie couldn't. Being an Indy film with a low budget is no excuse for this movie. It makes Human Centipede 3 look like Gone With the Wind. I can taste bile. I've just thrown up in my mouth realizing that I'll never get these 90 minutes of my life back. Thanks for this masterpiece, a true masterpiece of awful. 1\10...Do not ever watch this junk!
... View MoreI caught the trailer a couple of months ago and it looked interesting even if it looked like something that I've seen before. Having seen this movie, it ended up being a very well done psychological thriller with good atmosphere, great acting, and some well done suspense.Good: I like how subtle this movie approached the story. The first 30 minutes or so are a bit slow. It helped set the premise and develop the characters making them a strange couple with a family tragedy. Things starts to slowly unravel and the suspense is handled well with some great dread building throughout the movie. Then the horror starts and it is intense and rather freaky.
... View Morei waited for so long to see this film.i saw the short film Lucas Pavetto did before this long exhausting version.the short film was so good ,the actors the tense between then and the gore was all perfect in the first short version so i ask again,why destroy the great memory of the first version with this bag of crap ?Gabriella Wright and Bret Roberts give weak performances (wright don't deserve this role)there is no chemistry between the actors.the other thing that ruined this movie is the long and boring script .this version is so boring that after the first half hour you know the end(if you saw enough horror movies from all over the world trough the years)you feel cheated after an hour again Gabriella Wright is so bad in the role she practically betrays herself in the first act. i give it 4 only because i saw the first i know Pavetto's mind can do much better than this. this proves again that American versions always fails....always!
