Review of Shock

Shock (2016)
10/10
Good not great, feels rushed , could have been better
18 February 2018
So this film is definitely not a big budget masterpiece and it cannot compare or be listed at the same league as the super buget films out there but it certainly has some redeeming qualities.

The plot is nothing special but still engaging, the acting was pretty good from Arthur Roberts who plays the Psychiatrist. The lead actors were both decent for first time comers and with experience and training they might grow into something big.

Cinematography was excellent, however, the biggest probelm with the film is the editing which seems rushed, both the scene editing and sound editing fail miserably here. Some of the suspenseful scenes seemed rushed and so fails to build up tension.

The sound editing was also awful, espcially during some of the action more tense parts you feel there is lack of loud sound effects that makes the scene powerful.

Generally a decent effort, that could have been better perhaps if it were put in more professional hands and proper editing. Worth a watch at least to support independent films to make better films for sure.
