The Family (2011)
3/10
Mess of a movie!
29 October 2013
The vote was 3 and I'll give you all the reasons right away: 1) the acting, excepting Tony Todd and Michael Berryman, who are Gods of horror, is super bad! And I do mean terrible in every way, one of the tough guys here, sound like he inhaled just a tad bit too much helium. 2) camera work, well, at the end the of movie it gets better a little, but till then, shaky, fast changes and pretty much amateur style. 3) the plot: unoriginal, not that it's such a problem cause after so many years of horror it is rather hard to come out with something new, but this one here, is badly executed. 4) the deaths are simply, LAUGHABLE, amazingly easy, a moan, some blood on a knife and that's it. Telling you, complete letdown. I won't recommend this one to anyone, because it really is a bad movie, has absolutely no strong points whatsoever, so, if you do find it, just pass it. Leave it there, try something new, it will be quite difficult for you to find something worse than this. I mean it's a movie about murder and the way they execute each others is, well, even a 10 years old kid could watch it without getting traumatized or scared or anything. So, I'm sad to say such bad things about a movie with those 2 lovely actors, that brought so many great movies, memorable ones indeed; this one tho, quite the stinker. So, try their early work, it will be a fun journey in the past, cause the present, just made a huge mistake.
