In Fabric

Very heavy on style, with very weird substance. Two halves of the same strange story; the first half is all mystery and build, the second half is no mystery and all downhill. In the final 15-20 minutes you try and figure out what the hell the guy is watching on the tv, then you naturally ask yourself "what the hell am I watching?" and then it's over.

I was hoping the bad , the mischievous characters in the movie were gonna get what they deserved.

I. Loved its different sense of humor. At first I thought it might be my cultural ignorance. Then I realized many characters were expressing my own feelings but with other accents and slightly different ways of coping with the paranoia generated by large numbers and chaos theory as applied in modern marketing and advertising. It is a scary movie I can hardly wait to recommend to my friends

Epically bizarre....

The only reason i kept on watching it was because it was so weird. Good acting and really disturbing characters but at the end of the day im left wondering what in the hell did i just watch.

What the hell was that? It was a very long two hours. A24 dropped the ball here.

This is very much a sinister, spooky film - not exactly a ghost story but it is almost constantly unsettling due to the sense of dread, that something untoward is about to unfold. Its quite atmospheric and I suppose its somewhat stylish. There's a heavy emphasis on artificial light, with the bright red of the dress being clearly highlighted. Its certainly an arty type film and I wasn't surprised to notice Ben Wheatley's name attached to it - it is quite an English film with a dark side to it, certainly (bright colours aside!). I notice its categorised as a comedy film - it's not what I'd consider a particularly funny film, even dark comedy wise I wouldn't really class it as a comedy film, more drama, and horror or supernatural in tone I suppose. It has a hypnotic element to it as well. Its a pretty memorable film that I would recommend though, yes.

If you find it difficult to reconcile with the notion that plots can be non-linear and surreally plural, this might change your mind.

While somewhat lightweight on the actual scares, I think In Fabric excels at what it does right. It is essentially two different stories that meet at the film's halfway point, both of which develop their characters beautifully without being too heavy handed. It does step on its own toes at times by being too artsy for its own good, but I feel like a good job was done to make something as innocuous as a dress and a department store cabal frightening in their own right. Recommended for lighter horror fare.

This film does not work as a horror film, as a plot overall though it is remotely interesting and good enough to keep me watching through in it. If Halloween 3 and Suspiria had a child it would be this movie. Seems like a strange combination, and it is. This film is very weird in not a, oh there is weird things going on way, but more of like an oh this film has no idea what it is doing kind of way. It seems to be caught up in the aesthetic and feel it is trying to create and keeps forgetting that it is suppose to be telling a story. Just a mess. I do not know if I can genuinely recommend this film to anyone, if you think the description of a mix between Halloween 3 and Suspiria sounds interesting you will probably enjoy this at some level and if you care more about the visuals and aesthetics of a film and less of the plot, themes, ideas, story being, purpose of the movie then you may also enjoy this.
