We\u2019re used to attending in person in beautiful Montreal, Canada, but we\u2019re excited to cover this fantastic festival virtually too. Our coverage of this year\u2019s\u00a0Fantasia Festival continues with our review of the brutal barrage that is For the Sake of Vicious.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/hr>\n<p>Not every movie needs to make sense. Sure, there should typically be some kind of understanding between filmmaker and film viewers to keep both within a chapter or two of the same page, but audiences don\u2019t need to understand everything. There are numerous examples of complex, intentionally confusing and opaque films open to varied interpretation that are also beloved and critically acclaimed despite being dense and weighty experiences. Think the likes of <em>Enemy<\/em> (2013), <em>Mulholland Drive<\/em> (2001), <em>Upstream Color<\/em> (2013), <em>Synedoche, New York<\/em> (2008), and other intricate, thought-provoking tales.<\/p>\n<p>What <strong><em>For the Sake of Vicious<\/em><\/strong> presupposes is, maybe a movie can be both deceptively simple and utterly lacking in explanation\u2026 while still delivering an incredibly entertaining slice of home invasion action\/horror.<\/p>\n<p>Romina (Lora Burke) is a nurse heading home after a long shift to prepare her son for a night of Halloween trick or treating. The calm is short-lived, though, as she discovers two men in her house. One\u2019s beaten unconscious, and the other is <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roaching her aggressively. The one with blood on his hands is Chris (Nick Smythe), a disturbed man whose young daughter was assaulted a few years prior. The bloodied and bruised guy on the floor is Alan (Colin Paradine) \u2014 the man accused of raping his child. What starts in chaos erupts further as accusations fly, blood flies more copiously, and a masked motorcycle gang arrives to paint the walls red.<\/p>\n<p><em>For the Sake of Vicious<\/em> gives zero fucks about keeping viewers in the loop as to why anything is happening, but goddamn is it addictive in its style, confidence, and gloriously abundant violence. It\u2019s a blood-covered, carnage-filled, Halloween-set treat interested less in the why of things than in the whoa. The film looks and sounds fantastic too thanks to stellar work from cinematographer Alex Tong and composers Carrer and Foxgrndr who deliver a pulsing synth score giving a beat to the beatdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Writers\/directors Gabriel Carrer and Reese Eveneshen set up a tight little three-handed thriller with Romina caught up in the conflict between Chris and Alan, and the truth behind it all remains constantly up in the air. Is Alan guilty? Does Romina have some connection to Alan beyond him being her landlord? What the hell is going on with this masked gang? Could a person really keep fighting for a few minutes with a hammer lodged in their eye socket? Does no one in this neighborhood have ears that work? Is good affordable housing really worth all of this?<\/p>\n<p>The action in <em>For the Sake of Vicious<\/em> is what it\u2019s all about. To be clear, this isn\u2019t stylized, sharply choreographed martial arts \u2014 the characters here are brawling for their very lives. It\u2019s ugly, raw, and unhinged as people are shot, stabbed, and savaged with abandon, and the sound design ensures we hear and feel every moment. The practical effects keep all of it in viewers\u2019 faces with blood, gore, and prosthetics splashing the screen. Indie films often excuse poor action sequences as the fault of low budgets, but Carrer and Eveneshen prove what a crock of shit that argument really is by delivering brutal fights and carnage that rattle the house\u2019s walls with impact and intensity.<\/p>\n<p>The script\u2019s issues with explanation are forgivable offenses as what we see and experience more than makes up for what we\u2019re wondering about. Less excusable are some sketchy character choices that leave Romina as one of the less intelligent protagonists out there. To be fair, some of her decisions play into the question of what she may or may not be involved in, but most mark her as a bit daft and indecisive at times. A scene where she stands staring at her front door as someone on the outside clearly tries to pick the lock will have you yelling at the screen.<\/p>\n<p><em>For the Sake of Vicious<\/em> will leave some viewers hoping for more meat on its bones, but others will be thrilled by the bloody meat on display. Bodies are absolutely brutalized here (via fights, not torture scenes), and both our loyalty and concern for the three leads are tested throughout by the things they say and do\u2026 and by what\u2019s done to them.<\/p>\n<p>Follow our coverage of Fantasia 2020 here.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to watch Movies or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/for-the-sake-of-vicious-review\/#utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=for-the-sake-of-vicious-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Carnage and Confidence Collide in \u2018For the Sake of Vicious\u2019&#8221; Home Movies Reviews Rob Hunter September 6, 2020 A stylish home invasion thriller that forgoes suspense in favor of non-stop action?
