Review of Otis

Otis (2008)
10/10
Otis 2 ?
13 June 2008
This film simply "worked." I'm not keen on horror fare shows that are what I refer to as "survivor movies (meaning who is gonna survive at the end)." This one breaks the rules for that fare. It had moments with Otis and his creepiness that was all too "there" for me, but was done so well, I was kept in my seat.

Then, when the story angle changed with the twist in the movie, I guffawed so hard I had tears streaming down my face laughing so hard. The way the ending was done ... which, I would like to add, was a very good way to end the movie ... it gave a good opening for a 2nd movie. The ending (without giving it away), leaves something a bit obscure to the sight, so it is very possible another film may be done. I am, also, glad that they chose this ending rather than the alternative ending they have in the Special Features on the DVD. One question kept bugging me, who was Kim? I got an idea, but nothing stated or perhaps I missed that part from my phone ringing or something.

Casting was one of the best parts here ... each character played their role great and cohesively .. they gelled. Needless to say, if you aren't a total squeamish sort, or at least if you are a movie sampler like me, I would say to give this movie a look-see.
