Even though the film ‘Consumed’ is marketed as a romantic tale about two couples trying to explore and break the social and racial barriers while camping in the mountains of the United States, it is baffling, to say the least, and in my opinion, most of the film industry is unadulterated nonsense. Jay and Beth make fictitious remarks about being “numb house plants” and their life in Vienna seems to be quite acceptable to them until they are invited by their parents to go on a hike. Both of them dread it, especially when they recall what happened to them the last time they went into the woods with Sons of the Evolution Mountain Man (Devon Sawa) and his half-cannibalistic family.
Beth and Jay’s life, on the other hand, has so many rife conflicts that they could easily cover the new 97-minute romantic drama. Almost all of Jay Sawa’s (who plays Beth’s loving husband) scenes strongly suggest that he is trying to replace Hahn in her lap with Oedipus for his I am in technology dull role. It’s amusing to see how terribly Jay is at both, but it must be an exceptionally remarkable feeling to bet Beth watched her realize her and her beloved underwent, slowly and unnoticeably, drifted out.
Beth has gotten past the breast cancer but Jay is unable to understand what it is like to talk to her during the hard times. She too has strong images of it which can be quite painful and are somewhat like PTSD where her body fights her during or after some tragic event. In a way, Jay seems rather enthusiastic to appreciate and acknowledge Beth which is the complete opposite of what is the case with Beth. It is appropriate to mention that Jay is not shy of proffering such ideas. To him, it’s time for them to pop the champagne – for her, it most probably suggests the end crooked limb in their relationship. They then look for what appear to be the paw prints of some animal, and kumis, and the fluffy green substance closely resembles spinach. This is compounded by a bear trap, a large amount of imaginative excess, and bear traps which only serve to add to the erudition.
Out of all the modern trauma-centered horror movies, Consumed surely stands out in favor of the traumatized protagonist, This is what it can be compared to. From Personal Experience, C. Jay doesn’t appear to be quite the quiet supportive character that Jay describes Jay as a nuisance, if not bordering on being an encumbrance. In every interview, Famiglietti convinces us of this obnoxious, yet well-intentioned character, especially considering how he essayed burning Beth’s hospital wristband as a ritual. Consumed: Part One did a relatively good job as it came to repressing one’s grief, there are still things that have a permanent impact in the best of manners. Psychologically Abusive: While most viewers have been coaxed into a healing process, it is evident that format is powerful, as we don’t have to do anything, the emotion isn’t that clear.
Currently, Beth seems to be most affected by Quinn, who is Jay’s friend and personal bodyguard. There are clearly valid reasons as to why Jay and Beth are not given the crucial details which they eventually do piece together. Quinn has his own issues as well which include smoking Beth’s cigarettes and her broken English. In the case of Sawa, you can see that quite a lot of effort has gone in the representation of the character. In Quinn’s view, the purpose is to serve as a hindrance to Beth’s progress.
But with the appearance of Quinn onto the scene it becomes not even “The Twilight Zone” but rather ” as u have absolutely no idea whatsoever. And how is this self-possessed killer who lives almost entirely in ellipsis in the story; one can sometimes expect to see people out of those dumb cheap horror B-class movies. Who are fans of Larry Fessenden’s movies know everything about this insatiable sucker from the horror film “Consumed”. Only in this case, the beast is a minor detail and no attention is paid to it, which one expects in Fessenden’s films.
Jay, performed by David Calbert, is assigned a supporting role in the struggle between Quinn and Beth in the film. The film could have been forgiven for the lack of depth, had there been a scenario where Beth and Quinn interacted with each other, or at least tried to communicate with one another. As one of the actors in the movie, Tesh: David Calbert, the overwhelming majority of the spoken lines in the motion picture “Consumed” Emotions of Beth and Quinn are completely ignored and only the plot is paid attention to.
In scenarios where the character’s inner conflict is key to the plot, the relationship between the actors seems to be out of place. From the first shot, the picture ‘Consumed’ together with the script attempts unsuccessfully to improve the parent-child relationship that exists through fights of Beth. As I am saying, the scenes with the monster’s breath from the many lines do not appeal to many spectators. There is also a description of Sawa’s indecent speech in crude country language, as when he meets Beth who has just finished hearing: You’re sick, aren’t you? As I have said, such terms should always be placed within specific contexts, and in this respect, nobody in Timmore’s ‘Consumed’ has the time to engage in the softening of the rough nature of such words.
The rhythm of “Consumed” and the chemistry remaining unfound manages to transform this piece into a movie as that bulldozer that is unable to deliver to its full potential. The dialogues are grossly mismanaged as well as whether or not poorly conceived. As dismal as the interactions between the supporting characters were, Quinn and Beth managed to spin more chaotic threads. Flipping the next page soon becomes annoying as it begins to feel like a blank canvas waiting to be painted. A message is sent across the borders which are supposed to give an introduction and to the plot. Some tense moments do manifest themselves during the movie but “Consumed” isn’t one of those films that can be relied upon as the sheer badness of the themes completely destroys its pristine appeal.
