Our honest review of Felt (2014) breaks down its scares, pacing, and whether this horror movie truly stands the test of time.
Felt (2014) is an American romance thriller horror movie that surprised me in many ways. Director and co-writer Jason Banker (Toad Road (2012), Teenage Paparazzo (2010), My Name Is Faith (2012)) did a wonderful job executing a females struggle in today’s society. The movie contains grotesque images, alter egos, suspense, a female’s story and her struggles, and a lot of emotions. I love how Jason Banker portray’s the many forms of s**ual abuse that happens and the types of s**ual abuse that happens in public places in today’s society. s**ual abuse is not just r**ing someone but also groping, cat-calling and verbal harassment.
Felt is about someone that was s**ually abused and her struggle to overcome what has happened which led to her alter egos. Amy (Amy Everson) was s**ually abused and that left her feeling hopeless. She began making costumes, stays away from the public as much as possible and feels that her world/life has been taken away from her. After a few events, Amy began to feel masculine and is slowly losing her sanity to the point where her friends are scared for her. Kenny (Kentucker Audley - V/H/S (2012), The Sacrament (2013), Funny Bunny (2015), Ain’t Them Bodies Saints (2013)) began talking to Amy and she began to open up to him. She was so comfy with Kenny that she showed him some of her artwork that were mind boggling. Her creations included some grotesque images, an aborted baby Hitler fetus, a man’s exposed rectum on a ceramic dish, wool p***ises that she pokes with needles and other disturbing things. Kenny is not scared off by her insane creations and comforts her. Will her trust for Kenny stay true lead into a friendship or will Kenny hurt her?
I will watch this movie again and encourage all adults to watch this movie. It is touching in so many ways and an enlightening movie about our society today and how most females are being viewed and treated. Females are usually viewed as a s**ual object, and that usually lowers a female’s self-esteem after being s**ually abused or harassed. Amy did a wonderful job with her role, and it could not have been more convincing than it was. I gave this movie a seven because it revolved around a subject matter that was delicate, and I felt it could have contained more information and intensity. The movie overall was sad to watch but was something that I felt compelled to watch after the first few minutes.
