PopHorror Let's Get Scared
I had to put my foot in my mouth when I came into this movie. The plot seemed to pique my interest, and at first I asked why. A few moments into the voyage, there is always an eerie setting, even when the sunshine is a person who deals with schizophrenia, which we share together. Mouser opened up some doors, showing that not everything has to be midnight and foggy. This type of illness knows no boundaries, and it’s definitely not sunshine and rainbows out there.
Let’s get into the review.
Synopsis
A young woman who is Schizophrenic makes friends with an imginary cat that talks her into murder.
I know how scary this illness is, especially when you’re lone. However, sometimes it can happen in a room full of people; you never know when your symptoms will skyrocket. It leads to avoidance and seclusion, which some people wish for until it actually happens. The film starts explaining this away almost instantly, and you still don’t know what’s going to happen next. Mouser touches on the subjects that may not be so true except in extreme situations. Most people who have hallucinations are being accepted more now than ever. In a way, it offended me just a bit, as if mental illness were romantic.
Terrifying Reality
As we progress through the movie, you realize that you don’t truly know what you are watching. We are still able to form our own opinion, and that’s what makes films so fun. I will admit I left a little triggered because I am a strong advocate for medication. What stops us when stray away from a conversation, I don’t know. Listen to their commands. I make this seem so easy to deal with, like “Oh you’re mentally ill, tough luck bud”. I did feel rather cringey while watching these people struggle, because it could easily be me.
The film also pays repsect to the people who really live with this illness, however super delusion is defintely a rare form of illness. However, I found the movie with only those two facotirs, I will gladly wear that crown. As we slip further and further the film presents that anytime or anywhere. A lot of people with schizophhrenia live perfect lives aside from medication and constant support.
Mouser caught on the idea quick, pushing mental illness which kind of blew ther entire plot as soon as the film starts. There is no surprise jump scares. It was just creepy and a combo of both and bad elements. I touched on the good points because it is very hard to decribe, and we got a bit of understanding, pushing how you can chase your voices away.
In The End
I dont regret watching Mouser at all, I enjoyed it for more than the two little issues I became a fan if this movie not so much for the film, but more of a wakeup call. This stuff is serious and Mouser proved that with this fun little adventure into healing ourselves.
In the end, I wish more films touched on those subjects with a bit of salt to leave us confused so often until you piece it together. I will defintely give this film another shot. Trying to prove that ghosts run aroud through as maze of doors, like a more a bit like a Scooby -Doo type film whould have given us some great laughs instead of falling right into a mental illness rises above.
Be good to each other, be kind, because you never know who will be angry, and needing a helping hand out of the ocean.
