About the creators
Film critics, having watched the film "Visions", posted different reviews, but in every second they doubted the professional experience of the director of the film.
Horror was directed by seasoned editor KevinGrouter, in recent times, with the light hand of D. Wang and L. Wunnel (curators of the franchise "Saw") re-qualified as directors. Producers not only entrusted Grotert to shoot two final parts of a terrible epic, but also gave the go-ahead for the production of the horror film Jezabel, which pleased the fans of the genre with the intense atmosphere of Louisiana witchcraft.
"Visions" Kevin took off immediately after the premiereshow, but the way to the big screen for the project was pretty thorny. Initially, the premiere was announced for 2014, but after watching the test audience of the movie "Visions" reviews received depressing. Then the producers decided to hold it until better times.
Opinion of professionals
In 2015, the picture still got to the rental,and after the premiere, the fears of producers, including the informal "king of modern horror" Jason Bloom, turned out to be in vain. Critics dubbed the project a lazy and simple mystical film, built on a single final twist, which, by the way, is not so unpredictable. In addition to him, in the movie "Visions" a lot of trivial moments, in which, according to experts, the originality and author's fantasy are replaced by the orchestral blows struck to the utmost maximum by loudness.
Acting Casting
Even more surprising for the film critics seemedthe actor's ensemble of the film. Actress starring Ayla Fisher - uniquely gifted actress, but she is harmonious in a comic or romantic image. Therefore, the spectator of the experience of her heroine in a mystical horror is difficult to take seriously.
Not very successful decision was an invitation to cooperate with actress Gillian Jacobs, behind it also trails an image from the comedy series "Community".
And Eva Longoria from "Desperate Housewives" and Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory got really small roles that did not allow performers to demonstrate their skills to the fullest.
It turns out that all the maincomponents of the horror "Visions": actors, the narrative structure and visualization of Kevin Grotert. The uninspired, weak films in the genre of horror have recently become more and more, which is not the best trend.
