trashgang I can understand that this flick isn't loved by many but now that i have seen it I must say that i liked it, it isn't going to be an Oscar winner but it do offer some good moments sadly it also has a few points that will give you a seen that before feeling. The story is rather simple and towards the end it's easy to guess what will happen. It's a bit of a slow starter but when it starts it do deliver excellent moments if you are into mockumentaries or shaky cams. If you think you are going to see a flick full of effects, forget it, it flows on the simple thing, if you don't see it it will scare you even more and by adding creeping sounds some will be triggered towards the godfather, Blair Witch Project (1999). What didn't do any good to the flick is the night vision used. It's always the same you see, a gun. But as i said before, it do has a few good points and the red stuff is seen a few times, seen better but also ween worse.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
lf-877-541627 Julian Richings is one of the few positive things about this flick, I literally kept falling asleep but tried to stay up hoping for some plot twist to make it more interesting .It's a low budget movie but instead of making up the lack of funds with creativity 2 things are particularly annoying, the soundtrack at times is so loud it's almost impossible to hear the dialog, the "blair witch" camera work is annoying , please directors all over the world take note, that crap is stupid please stop using it !!!! There are more negatives about this movie but not as annoying as the 2 above, the story is so predictable and save Julian Richings the acting is very very poor feels more like a high school students project than a real movie, maybe that's what it was in which case they did a great job . There is one interesting idea in this story and that is the aliens controlling the subjects.. anyway, again a movie that could have been easily made into a captivating with an interesting plot but the writers decided to stick with a "been there done that" story..
siderite Come on! If it doesn't have a budget of hundreds of million of dollars it's a bad movie? The IMDb rating is way too low for this film.It is not perfect, that I admit, but it is far from bad. I think the worst part of it was the interrogation room. They used some weird tech and they made a great effort to explain that no one knows how it works, only what it does. It had absolutely nothing to do with the story. Also the psychopathic doctor cliché went a little bit too far and for no good reason.It basically played out like an over extended Outer Limits episode sans the budget. Lots of annoying clichés were used like the evil shadowy government organization, the humanoid alien that makes cameras fizzle right when it enters the shot, the found footage bit, the black eyes, etc. However it stops right at the edge of being too much and overall it kind of works.Bottom line: the ridiculous low budget shows in the special effects, the sets and, unfortunately, the acting quality. The story, though, is interesting enough to keep someone watching and always trying to understand what is going on. I wouldn't recommend it, but I can't tell people off, either. A bit too long for the content, though.
David baril Being a huge fan of Pontypool and the very bizarre and completely unexpected idea it brought to the concept of zombies, I went into Ejecta expecting the unexpected. Sadly, when the movie ended nothing of the sort had happened but I did get the feeling it tried. The scenario is a weird mix of threadbare tropes and some nonsensical elements with very little connections or consequences between them. The special effects are not as good as some TV shows.One of the first thing we see is this testimonial from William, the main character of the story, about how aliens somehow came in his head and left something there, something that fills his sleep wit dreadful stuff that is beyond description. The delivery of the interview scenes are as chilling as it gets, but you can only speak of indescribable horror for so long before it starts being just vague. The fake documentary angle works though, and the delicate balance between the interviewer being impressed, skeptical, and a bit scared is well played.Then the opening credits roll, showing every mythical alien photo we ever saw. It is fitting, because most everything about the alien's appearance, behaviour and obscure motivations does not stray an inch from the established alien lore.So the titular solar ejecta happens, which somehow makes an alien ship fail and crash on earth... in the woods behind William's house. There is an ellipse, Soldiers are there. William gets shot. William gets captured and interrogated in a bunker. And this is where the situation gets from tense to grotesque, as he is being questioned and tortured by a women that people call "doctor" who is also single-handedly ordering the soldiers, when she's not shooting them in the head to ascertain her authority. I actually enjoyed the way she played fake-friendly and enthusiasm that switches instantly into dark sadistic glee, but I found the amount of multi-tasking a bit unnatural.See, Dr. Tobin also found the footage of the incident (which has somehow been neatly edited with music in-camera) and is watching it for clues and learning about its content in real time, at the same time the audience is. The tape mostly contains very long chase sequences in the wood and the house. The alien's beastly behaviour and casual nakedness is never adequately explained, they just chase and bully the hero around, staying out of frame and out of light at all times, emitting a wide variety of growls, wails and that fashionable staccato growl every scary creature and movie trailer started making a few years ago.Meanwhile, in the torture bunker, mysterious gadgets are used and misused with inconclusive results, there is much shouting and unpleasantness. Some weird things do happen at the end, but never really build up to a reveal or help in any way to explain the goal of the alien's actions. In the end there is no mystery, there is just the unexplained.
