Review of Pledge

Pledge (2018)
3/10
Say NO to torture porn.
16 January 2019
Torture porn, gore, snuff look alike, why do we keep getting these kind of movies? Why do they have the audacity to label themselves as horror? And for how much longer are they gonna get away with it?

I'm sorry but this is not the future, this is a major set back. As Saw started out with a great premise and then switched to torture porn, same did Final Destination, Wrong Turn and so on, why not keep it intense, mysterious, why not show some suspense while you at it? I am so done with such productions, still we don't get so many anymore but a few years back torture and gore was all they showed. I mean give us a break guys, if you can't create anything interesting just stop it. Movies like Vacancy, The collector, The hills have eyes, yes the use a lot of pain, blood but it's effective. It's not over doing it, sets some boundaries and shows us the extreme sometimes but mostly focuses on a plot point.

Pledge is hard to watch as you can't identify yourself with none of the characters and surely enough you never get to experience any kind of compassion towards them. Major letdown.

Cheers!
