Cruel Will has an interesting premise that it thoroughly butchers in execution. The acting is absolutely terrible (except Harry Lennix) almost to the point where is it comically bad. The story is very repetitive, which makes the 85 minute run time feel like ages, and the ending is incredibly anticlimactic and confusing. There aren't many effects, but they clearly have no idea how blood spatter works. What bothers me the most are how careless they are with the many stupid little mistakes. A character is cutting vegetables with a chef's knife on a cutting board and somehow cuts her palm, when the knife was no where near her palm and the cutting motion she was doing would only risk chopping off her finger tips, not gashing open her palm. Another character drops a glass of cola, but when he goes to pick up the broken glass, there is a clear liquid on the floor, even though we watched him poor brown cola. There are tons of little mistakes that show how little attention was paid to any of the details in this film. Again, the general plot description of the film has potential, but clearly no one knew what they were doing.
