Some Kind of Hate (2015) Reviews

• Some Kind of Hate..For Other Reviewers

  roguecritic422016-01-11

  It sickens me to see how poorly people rate horror movies these days. I once belonged to a group of horror movie fans, but now I am alone. Don't get me wrong. I hate B-movies. I hate the majority of Redbox horror movies that most people have not heard of. But this movie is truly something good and special, and to see it thrown in the gutter by people who I would have trusted as my horror loving peers, has disappointed me. I remember seeing "It follows" a couple years back and I thought it rocked. It was a throw back to 80s horror that I really appreciated it. So I did some google searches looking for the next "It Follows". That is when I came across my first internet review of Some Kind of Hate. When I watched it, I was not disappointed. I guess you could call this film a cult horror classic, since it is apparent from other reviews, that a very unique clique of people will appreciate this film for what it offers. From storyline, to acting, to environment, to just the feel and soundtrack and nature of the film, I really enjoyed it. If I was looking at these IMDb reviews, I would never have given it a chance. The plot and dialogue is simple, but interesting. One of the main characters is victim is extreme bullying. Karma takes spiritual form and comes back with a vengeance. It's not filled with the gore and special effects throughout the movie you might see in most horror movies that make it to the big screen, but its got story and heart. For the record, I would give it 1 star less than It Follows. But this still is a good movie, worthy of re-watching over the years.

• Revengeful Spirit

  claudio_carvalho2016-09-03

  The teenager Lincoln Taggert (Ronen Rubinstein) is frequently bullied at school by a mate. One day, Lincoln reacts and sticks a fork into the face of the bully. Lincoln is sent to a reform school and the intern Willie (Maestro Harrell) bullies him with his gang. One day, Lincoln accidentally summons the spirit of Moira (Sierra McCormick), a bullied teenage girl that died a couple of years ago. Now she takes vengeance initially on the bullies and then she kills everyone that crosses her path. "Some Kind of Hate" is a slasher with a promising beginning with a good story of bullying. The viewer feels sorrow for the teenager Lincoln, under stress at home, at school and at the reform school. Then Moira destroys his enemy at the reform school. However, in a certain moment on, the story turns in a brutal and quite senseless slasher. My vote is five. Title (Brazil): Not Available

• Not perfect by a long-shot but I've seen a lot worse horrors

  Seth_Rogue_One2016-01-20

  The first 30 minutes are really solid, which is more like a psychological drama-thriller than anything else. But on the 30 minute mark that changes and it throws a supernatural twist on you which feels really random and took me out of the movie for a bit, but once I accepted that this is what the movie is like now I slowly but safely started getting into it again. And even though the movie most certainly is not without it's flaws I must say that this wasn't too bad of a watch, even though it's nothing spectacular but yeah I've seen hundreds of horrors that are a lot worse than this for sure... Seen hundreds that are better as well but that's beyond the point lol. And the acting is pretty good, and the gore is excellent, one complaint would be that occasionally the cast speak really low and it's hard to hear over the dark melodies being played in the background but overall not too shabby, better than I expected considering the rating of (currently) 4.6/10 for sure. 5.5/10 from me, or rounded up to a 6.

• A not half bad B horror

  s32761692015-09-28

  Some Kind of Hate is a not half bad B horror. The premise is not that novel but different enough to be interesting. I suspect this titles primary audience is late teens and twenty somethings. Those who are fresh enough from school to still remember how horrible and cruel other teens can be. The main character is a supernatural entity who is summoned by the pain of bullied, victimized teens. The storyline is pretty basic but it builds quite well. That said, the violence and self abuse scenes can be a bit on the harsh side at times. For a B title the acting is quite good too. The whole cast but, in particular, the male and female lead and the girl who plays the vengeful spirit, really offer up decent performances. Combine all these elements and you have a reasonable horror flick on your hands. Six out of ten from me.

• Quite an apt title...

  wrightiswright2015-09-30

  30th September 2015. Mark this date in your calendar fans... For it's a historic occasion indeed. For this is the day... I officially stop wasting my life taking chances on movies that may or may not be buckets of s***e... And, stick to the classics. (Okay, I'll be able to watch the odd dire obscurity... I do SO enjoy mocking them, you know. But really, life is too short to do that a lot...) And, what of the flick that provoked this sudden change in policy? Well I liked precisely three things in it: 1. The girl ghostie's razor blade necklace. 2. A cool throat slashing murder scene. 3. A lady getting her brains blown out. That's it, folks. The rest is just tiresome nonsense about the most lax 'reform' wilderness school in the world, where apparently the criminals are free to have sex all day, smoke and beat each other up. Not surprising... Considering there's only three staff for an entire squadron of ruffians. Oh, I forgot... They have their phones taken away... ...Which are easily retrieved later by our goth hero by simply going into an office and rummaging around in a cardboard box. Not exactly boot camp, then... Is it really worth me bemoaning the non-dimensional characters, the inexplicable behaviour they display throughout and the total absence of anything approaching enjoyment here? No, it isn't. I'll simply label it as 'GARBAGE' and move on with my life. Simple, really. Ciao. 2/10
