Hate Crime (2012) Reviews

  • A pointless and ultimately pretentious film

    Spankalicious2014-02-17

    This film is about 3 neo-Nazis attacking a Jewish("Is it Hannukah? Is it Passover?" the Father awkwardly and unconvincingly asks at the beginning of the film to his child just so we all know they are indeed Jewish) family on the youngest son's birthday. What follows is 70 minutes of found-footage(yeah, it's one of THOSE films) garbage as the Nazis terrorise the family and film it all. THat's pretty much it. There is no suspense at all, there is no script, and it is clearly pretty much all improvised, and I think it's fair to say that none of the actors in this film have ever been to an improv class in their lives, as there is at least two Jewish slurs and three F words every 60 seconds, and outside of that, are completely incapable of constructing a sentence. The acting from the three antagonists isn't dreadful, Ian Roberts as "Three" is decent, a former rugby player, Dancing With The Stars contestant, gay rights activist and all-round nice guy in real life. His decision to be in this abomination of cinema was bizarre, but he tries his best. One of them tries way too hard to be like Matthew Lillard in Scream, and the other guy isn't bad either, but the director made him a completely ridiculous character(more ridiculous than Stu Macher 2.0 and Crystal Meth Addicted Rapist). Seriously, no one could make that bizarre and sleep-inducing bathroom scene any good. Also, whose idea was it to have "Three" wear a mask over his ski-mask at the beginning of the film, to the point where everything he says is muffled? Ridiculous. As for the rest of the cast, they are pretty dreadful. The Dad is the absolute worst, and is almost more dislikeable than the Nazis with his absolutely unreal emotions and actions during the ordeal. At the end, we are randomly told how there are 80,000 hate crimes every year in the US. AND? Do you think this has changed anyone's views on anything? Do you think if you showed this to a group of 1000 fascists, that even one would change their opinions? The answer is no. People that are calling this "Powerful" are either plants or idiots. This is a weak and pretentious film, and Bressack has proved himself as a lazy and undeserving film-maker. The only reason I give it a Two is because giving a 1 to a film with Ian Roberts as a neo-nazi just isn't right.

  • Avoid at all costs! Bad from beginning to end!

    Badly filmed. Shaky camera work. Not always clear what's happening. All the actors are terrible. Clearly the director didn't have a clue. Worst film I have ever seen. Dialogue can barely be understood as they were all talking shouting at the same time. Reminded me of a crowded pub. It's messy and in no way seamless. I am furious that I spent good money to watch it. It goes in for the kill in 5 minutes. Not enough time to know the characters. So didn't know what was getting done to who. The 3 attackers, well there are no words to describe how bad they were. He was obviously trying to be as good as Funny Games. If I were him I would stop making films. I actually have no words for how terrible this film is. You get the gist of what's happening and often the mind is much more brutal than the film, what you don't see is more disturbing (not in this case). He has even managed to eradicate that feeling you get when sounds are worse than the deed. The screen was too busy all the way through, making harder to decipher what was going on apart from the obvious stuff. If you want a decent film(s), try Eden Lake and Funny Games. If I owned this film on DVD I would burn it. I can't stress enough not to waste your time with this film. Truly, truly rubbish. I would also run out of space. Whoever sanctioned the release of this movie needs to retire, along with anyone else that took part in any way with the production. It's beyond rubbish.

  • Not what it's hyped up to be...........

    GarrettWallace2013-05-05

    I first heard about this film in late summer/early autumn of last year. The director, Mr. Bressack, recently made this title available on VOD on his website. Having read many of the critical reviews which praised the film's realistic depiction, I wanted to check it out. I have to say that I was disappointed and hopefully these "critics" are not on a payroll somewhere. The film is shot found footage style and has all the vertigo and nausea inducing shaking that accompanies that. Really, the shaking made me more sick to my stomach than the plot that was unfolding before my eyes. If you are a fan of the found footage genre, however, this may not cause you consternation. The acting in this film is overboard. Some of the dialogue is cheesy to say the least. I'd say a good half of it is just expletives that seem to act as filler material. I'm not a fan of rape scenes, as I'm sure any person with a semi-normal psychological makeup isn't, but the ones in this film weren't so disturbing because the actress is clearly clothed during them. I understand why this is necessary from a filmmakers perspective but here it was quite obvious. Another rape scene in a bathroom contained dialogue and actions by one of the perpetrators that was simply baffling and the camera angle in that scene rendered it fairly ineffective. The film is so overdone that it lost its "shock effect" on me about halfway through. Perhaps I'm a little more desensitized to violence due to having witnessed so much of it in my own life. I did not find this film to be as traumatic as some critics pointed out. The ultimate fate of the oldest boy was, quite frankly, insulting to the viewers intelligence. A couple of other things that were done to him weren't realistic either. Mr. Bressack might have been better served to hire stunt professionals for these roles. I realize that he didn't want to hurt his actors but that caution hurt his film. The way this family was tied up was laughable and took away a lot of the terror aspect. Some critics and reviewers have liken this film to a 70 minute version of the home invasion scene in "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer." I disagree. The scene in "Henry" is far more effective because it is relatively brief, has no exposition or back story, has the added benefits that shots before and after that scene were shot on film, while the scene itself was shot on video (making it appear all the more authentic), and implicates the viewer a voyeur along with Henry and Otis at the scene's conclusion. Hence, that scene is repulsive to most viewers and has the added dichotomy of coming 15 minutes after another murder scene where the viewers might not be so repulsed by the violence inflicted upon the sleazy, fat, obnoxious fence selling stolen goods. I give Mr. Bresseck a little leeway since he is such a young filmmaker who in all likelihood has a promising career ahead of him. However, let us not forget that "Henry" was shot by a first-time director and I found that film to be far more effective at exposing viewers to violence as entertainment. Mr. Bresseck included some footnotes at the end of his film that I felt were totally unnecessary. He could have simply allowed his film to speak for itself. It was a valiant effort on his behalf but I can only give 3/10. The director only spent about 3 minutes developing characters for this family and they weren't very likable ones at that. I just had a difficult time empathizing with them. Again, this probably has more to do with actual violence, both physical and sexual, that I've witnessed in my personal life and not simulated violence, which is quite evident in this picture.

  • could have been good...but wasn't.

    sifort20122014-07-17

    I love horror films, im OK with lots of shaky cam and im a big fan of home invasion films. which made hate crime a definite must see for me. within 20 minutes I realised it was going to be hard work watching this all the way through, not because it was disturbing or difficult to watch on moral grounds, no... because it was boring as hell and had a lot going on that was just stupid. its a nice Jewish families dinner, I think for the kids birthday. luckily for the viewer dad is videoing everything. there's a knock at the door and 3 masked guys with swastika tattoos burst in and shout lots of nasty stuff. they then proceed to shoot the kid (which was a surprise) then rape the mum (remembering to put her knickers back on afterwards)then shout a lot and tie everyone else up with the most pathetically easy to get out of knot in movie history. this was the first 20 minutes, the next hour was just more shouting, with a brief bit of nastiness near the end (they poke out one of the kids eyes with a spoon then set him on fire and stuff him in the oven) but the nastiness doesn't distract you from the knowledge that what your watching just isn't very good. I wasn't shocked when it finished, I was just numb from the repetitiveness of it all. and pleased I didn't have to ever watch it again.

  • Not Bad For Its Type

    Michael_Elliott2014-12-07

    Hate Crime (2013) ** (out of 4) Decent "found footage" film has a Jewish family celebrating a birthday when three Neo-Nazies break into their home. That's pretty much the only "story" to this film as for 70-miutes we see the five family members being abused and tortured by the maniacs. I'm not going to sit here and call this a good movie but I do think director-writer James Cullen Bressack at least made a realistic one. I say that because this genre seems to have a new film hitting store shelves weekly and by now they're all starting to feel as if they're gimmicks. HATE CRIME at least looks like real footage and for the most part the actors do a nice job to where you can believe what you're watching. I think the biggest problem with the film is that often times we've just got scenes that are dragging on without enough drama/tension. This is especially true as the movie goes on and even though it runs just 70-minutes, that seems way too long. As with a lot of films in the genre, this one also suffers from some logical stuff especially towards the end when a few plot twists are thrown in. This includes a member of the family breaking free yet the killers just seem to not pay it too much attention as they stand around screaming at one another. HATE CRIME certainly doesn't fall into the group of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT but it's not nearly as bad as some out there.
