Review of Sociopathia

Sociopathia (2015)
3/10
Intriguing story but poor execution
10 April 2024
The plot sounds like something relatively simple that could be of interest and entertaining. As a lower budget independent horror film, expectations weren't too high. Overall the story starts off decent as we are introduced to the lead characters and as we continue watching, we get a sense that she has mental type problems.

The story and film does get better once another woman enters the story, a character Kat whom is a new employee at their workplace of some sort of dolls production company.

However it tries to deliver a perspective of the lead as she struggle with mental disorder, it also has the benefit of playing around artificial props which already have inherited creepiness about them. Thoughtfully the performance from the main cast can be sum up to either girls throwing tantrum or over the too and superficially seductive. Things get worse when they scream at each other, it's quite numbing at this point. There is nudity and skin shown (including right as the film begins- all be it brief). The blood and violence is cheap looking but not too bad.

The main problem is the lack of suspense and thrills. We see the killer wearing the mask but we immediately know who it is, ruining the surprise. The ending was lacklustre as it just came to abrupt ending. A solid effort but with better writing and better actors this could have been a lot better.
