Animosity (Brendan Steere, 2013)

6/10
This is an ultra low budget U.S. indie horror with a plot that I can't talk much about because it spoils most of the fun in seeing the movie. The film falls into the usual low budget pitfalls - the acting is spotty, the special effects are weak, and the camera work leaves a lot to be desired. It also, for some reason, has an instantly forgettable, anonymous kind of title that won't do it any favors. But there's a really good, interesting idea at the heart of Animosity. I won't say its failure to execute that idea was 100% owing to its budgetary constraints, because it could have done with some tighter editing or scripting. But it was something different, at least.
