The Special

I laught a lot in this movie, it was supposed to be a horror movie, but for me was more comedy and human nature. It's really make you don't want to lose any part because it was not predictable at all. Of course the best part is what is in the box? And you can't find it until the end of the movie.

I had waited a long time to see this movie. I remember seeing the initial trailer and I was intrigued immediately. The acting, the story, the effects, and especially the direction of Harrison Smith is spot on. This film is a must-see! I've watched it several times and I've recommended it to friends as well. Watch this movie now! You will not be disappointed.

This movie is an example of one of the biggest leaps within the indie horror circuit in recent memory. B. Harrison Smith climbs the ladder to the next rung, setting an example to all upcoming indie filmmakers as he ups his game drastically. Harrison Smith treats us to a much more traditional horror film compared to his last movie, "Death House", which felt more like a series of random scenes inside of a maximum security prison with a few good aspects to it. "The Special" surprised me since i was expecting something of a lower caliber. Something on par with his last film. I was wrong. This movie is quite good and again, is very traditional. It feels like a revisit to the recently forgotten traditionalist type horror films. Simple set up, simple pay off, with much to anticipate through out. This claims to be this big body horror movie but is actually not that body horror-esque. The story does revolve around something that the viewer knows will amount to something grotesque but it more so just has a good story and some good characters, with a splash of body horror in the end. The practical effects are great in this movie despite some overly rubber looking things. The message is strong and the script is daring. This is the type of movie that builds a filmmaker to become something great. I'm very impressed with the leap Harrison Smith has made and I am excited to see more from him.

Wow, this movie outrageous, funny, gross and scary. What more can you want? Director Harrison Smith gave us a gross-out body horror treat with this one. Poor sap Jerry thinks his wife is cheating on him. His drinking buddy Mike, played by the terrific Dave Sheridan, has an absolutely great idea. We'll show her, let's get hookers! But not just any hookers. Mike's gonna hook his good pal Jerry up with the best sex of his life. An erotic treat known as "The Special". And this is where things go way off the tracks for our intrepid hero Jerry. His continued poor decisions and lack of impulse control lead him down a long, dark path of self destruction. If you take a bit of Lynch, throw in some festering bits of Cronenberg, add a blob of Chuck Russel, a maybe just an ooze of Lovecraft you'd find yourself staring down The Special.Once just isn't enough of The Special

I like horrors, thrillers, and syfy just like everyone else. Has the entertainment, film industry running out of story lines that they have to make crappy films like this? If you like horror movies that makes no sense and you don't care if its good or not this is for you.

Terrible god awful! And for you people saying you need the special your dumb he turns into the special so basically your face ducking another man. Gross dumb watch on a movie app on accident was watching a different movie then it kept freezing so I clicked a different stream and they had this labeled as open 24 hours. But it's dumb god awful skip it nothing good about it at all! IF YOU GAVE THIS MOVIE ANYTHING OVER 1 STAR I HAVE NO WORDS I JUST DONT WTF DID YALL WATCH THAT I DID HE LITERALLY DUCKED ANOTHER MANS FACE THIS IS DUMB DUMB DUMB I BEEN ADDING TO THIS REVIEW FOR A HOUR NOW IM BAFFLED BY THE RATING YALL GOVE ITS NOT FUNNY NOR SCARY ITS TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not funny Not scary Not anything This is a MUST NOT WATCH.

I started to give this a B for originality & then I remembered a movie years ago with a talking hole in a wall. This was definitely a strange story that kept me interested wanting to know what happens next. I watched this by accident but couldn't turn it off. I just had to know what was in the box.
