Not So Innocent

About This Movie

So, 'Not So Innocent' is this intriguing piece from 1989 that seems to flirt with the boundaries of genre. The atmosphere is thick with tension, almost uncomfortable at times, which, honestly, adds to its charm. You might notice the pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of works to heighten the suspense. Practical effects, though not groundbreaking, have a certain gritty quality that feels authentic. The performances are a mixed bag; some really nail their roles while others are, let’s say, a bit more wooden. It’s distinctive in how it tackles its themes, kind of blurring the lines between innocence and corruption, leaving you with a lingering sense of unease long after the credits roll.

This film is quite rare on physical media, and finding a decent copy can be a challenge. It was released on VHS during the late 80s and has seen very limited re-releases since. Collectors tend to appreciate its unique blend of themes and the practical effects that define the era, but it doesn’t seem to have hit mainstream radar, which may keep its market value relatively low. Still, for those who enjoy the obscure, this one has a certain allure.
