"But there was no one to root for" good lord.

I haven't read the book but The Dinner is an excellent film that stands on its own.

Poses some interesting philosophical questions and ends on a hanger that I'm sure got a lot of viewers' collective panties in a bunch.

This film is not about A-Z plotting, it's about exposing the underbelly of society and how empathy has almost entirely eroded in our broken culture.

Some great scenes with fantastic dialog, everyone delivers the goods. Laura Linney made my skin crawl. Yes, she's good.

Yes, this is another meditation on Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

I love good "Invasion" style films, and this a good one.

Not quite on par with "The Broken," but Assimilate is well worth watching for fans of films that deliver mounting dread very well.

I'm puzzled by those who claim the premise or plot doesn't make sense. It makes perfect sense, they just don't spoon feed it to you like other films.

The acting is adequate to very good, cinematography above average, well directed, and has some genuinely suspenseful scenes throughout.

The very end was a little contentious but I'm not complaining.

Check it out.

There is so much crap in the anthology market that it's nice when something comes along that's worth watching. I saw this re-titled as "Horror Anthology Movie vol. 2" on Vimeo.

A solid set of four horror films with modern and classic authors represented. Hilarious "Gave up the Ghost" from a Jeff Strand story and the really creepy and atmospheric "By the Hair of the Head" adapted from a short story by Joe Lansdale were the highlights for me.
