Leofwine_draca THE CORRUPTED is a typical cabin-in-the-woods style indie horror flick, shot at a rural lakeside location in Canada. It's an example of the result that occurs when an indie director tries to incorporate Lovecraftian plot elements into his no-budget feature. Half of it is padded out with the usual rigmarole of characters hanging around at their retreat while there's the occasion scene of horror and bad FX. It's largely dull and not worth your time.

Paul Magne Haakonsen This was amateurish at best. And that is actually putting it nicely. I had happened to stumble upon the movie by random luck, so I gave it a chance. I had no expectations to this movie, so it had every possible chance to dazzle and impress me, but that was not to be.But honestly, then it is an hour and twelve minutes wasted, time that could and should have been spent elsewhere. Not only is "The Corrupted" a boring movie, but it is also unfathomably slow paced, which just added to the agony.The story in "The Corrupted" is about a group of young people who go to a remote lakeside cabin for a getaway and to party. But strange events quickly put an abrupt end to what was supposed to be fun and good times.But it just didn't pan out to anything even remotely worthwhile. And it ended up as being a goofy movie at best.The acting was adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie it is and the level of production value. Well, aside from Shawn Tisdale (playing D.J. Nightrider), wow, he was just abysmal.You should take heed of the language in this movie, it is filled with obscenities and the f-Word is present in every second line uttered. Just a heads up if you should be sensitive to foul language and plan to watch "The Corrupted"."The Corrupted" is a low budget movie that has borrowed way too much from "Evil Dead".It is not worth the time or effort. I suffered through this so you don't have to!

vinciblestimps This is not the greatest film in the world. It *is* very reminiscent of early Peter Jackson films (Bad Taste) and early Sam Raimi stuff. I can't help but be pretty excited about the growth of a new and interesting Canadian film scene that's got creative people involved in all the aspects. I'd like to see more - I'm hoping this is the first of many things to come from the folks responsible.It's an exercise, and I am really pleased that I decided to rent it. If you're looking for a finished, well funded, polished piece, go elsewhere. This is a diamond in the rough. Lots of fuller character stuff could be in it. Lots of better filming done, the girls could be a little differentiated, but face it, they're bloody differentiated from a lot of women I've seen on screen simply by the fact that they look natural.There are a lot of different horror tropes being tested out here. Deranged cop from Desperation, Lovecraft Things, Oddly Coloured Landscapes, Young People Screwing When You Know They Shouldn't, Ladies In The Water. Pretty neat stuff! And no sparkly vampires. It's a bit of a return to seventies horror films. Thumbs up.

vinpestal First- I'm sure Friends and Family put 10 stars, but they are just as crazy as the people that made this movie..... This movie stinks.Didn't walk out on it, but really would have liked too.I thought the acting was a joke. The directors need better sense of who they put in their film. Low budget and all, there is no excuse for "i'm reading from my lines and reading 1 word at a time". Wasn't there actors from a film school or a drama club you could have hired?Horrible and I wouldn't recommend this. I would give it 2 thumbs down and only that because I ran out of thumbs.Do yourself a favour and use your money for something else.The script is terrible and there is no direction. The only good thing about this movie was the ending when the screen went black. Can't say anything else about this horrible movie or else I would have to relive it.
