Ravers
Re: Ravers
I wanted to like it but just couldn't. The fake American accents are always a turnoff and the rest of the story was cliched and trite. The director mentioned it went through post-production in a rush and I thought it showed, some scenes just seemed to hang around waiting for a cut
Re: Ravers
6/10. Contrary to expectations, loved the soundtrack to Ravers. Not the kind of mainstream trance techno you normally get in club scenes in movies but full of authentic big room bangers; proper dark techno. The downside of having such a thumping soundtrack is that I actually wanted less talking so I could just lose myself in the music!

Re: Ravers
Liked this more than I expected. The fake American accents annoyed me too and I think they would have said pink eye instead of a stye. I liked the second mutation of the ravers and think it should have happened sooner. I didn't really understand the effects of the energy drink. Some went homicidal some did nothing some decided to climb a ladder some had sex, not very consistent. It was ok. Don't think I'd watch it again or recommend it.

Re: Ravers
My interpretation was that it made them fixated on doing whatever they'd been into in the first place - so the users craved drugs, the dancers wanted to dance... and they'd go postal on anyone who got in the way of their thing.greenzombidog wrote: ↑Tue Aug 28, 2018 1:59 pm I didn't really understand the effects of the energy drink.

Re: Ravers
I really liked this movie, although im certainly not a raver or clubber (rather a nice cup of tea and an episode of Midsommer Murders). The premise was simple, protagonists were likable enough, effects were good and the resultant mutant was sufficiently Troma-esque to be scary and humourous. I didnt notice the fake accents, so they didnt annoy me.

Re: Ravers
Didn't hate this as much as I thought I would having desperately wanted to see Book of Monsters instead of this having been put of by the premise.
A nice spin on zombies and not too irritating characters, though I agree the accents were annoying.
Still not a fan of junk science though, just can't suspend my disbelief for that.
