Is Aberrations Worth Watching? Honest Movie Review & Audience Verdict (2012)

📖 The Core Premise

Aberrations stands as a 2012 entry that attempts to leave its mark on the various landscape. At its heart, the film explores complex themes wrapped in a compelling storyline. As the plot unfolds, we see characters navigating a world where stakes are high. "Made for "about the cost of the average funeral," comes an all new batch of supernatural revenge stories and conté cruels in the tradition of the original "Tales From The Crypt" and "Creepshow". Bestselling horror novelist Claire Huston (Dawn Duvurger) has a sure way of producing creepy story after story - she steals them from a dead master of the macabre using a spirit board. What follows are four stories of suspense and terror... though not without consequence. Alice (Mona Duvera) encounters an all-too familiar ventriloquist doll; Bobby (Amber Peach) knows something is watching her from within the walls of her home; a crazed sniper (Eric Spudic) uses geocaching as a lure for his victim (Krystal Stevenson Akin); and a man (J.C. Pennylegion) attempts to resurrect his dead wife, brought to him by two grave robbers (Denman Powers, Kirk Jordan)."

🎬 Performance & Direction

A movie's success often hinges on its execution. In Aberrations, even the presence of Donny Versiga struggles to save a script that feels disjointed. The direction aims to balance pacing with character development, a hallmark of good cinema. While there are moments of brilliance, the pacing occasionally dips.

🤔 Why You Should Watch (or Skip)

Is Aberrations worth your time? If you appreciate various films that take risks, this is likely a decent one-time watch. However, if you are looking for a flawless masterpiece, you might find some plot points predictable.

🏆 Final Verdict

Ultimately, Aberrations misses the mark on several fronts. With a runtime of 77 minutes, it asks for a significant time investment, but for the right audience, it pays off.
