I am still mourning my money that I wasted on this turd of a movie at the fantasy film fest. Sitting trough this felt like a root treatment without anesthesia, wearing Spanish boots while listening to Justin Bieber. I seriously doubt that most of positive ratings are authentic. It is a really bad movie. Period.
It started with a decent idea - houses with crime scenes are sold off to some mysterious buyer, who rips out the killing room to install it somewhere else. A journalist dressed up like a 50ies starlet and a cop (her boyfriend? A fling? There is literally NO chemistry between them and it really doesn't matter considering the movies many, many flaws.) try to solve the case. Hadn't seen this before, thought it might get interesting. No man. No.
The story went downhill fast and disastrous, becoming super abstruse and pointless, ham-fisted and plain stupid. The dialogues are so cringe worthy, it felt like watching a soap opera. A really bad one. And I won't start ranting about the cops abominable American fake accent. All this is hard to abide, but beware, it's getting worse.
The main actress is a pain in the ass from the second she appears on screen. The trend to cast actresses for looks over talent ruined the little that was given to the role.. She was plain horrible (I really tell it true - I really enjoy beautiful and talented actresses on screen, but this is simply not the case here) and to my deepest distress, the rest of the cast was as nasty to watch. And all is oh so very boring and predictable!
This movie tries hard to look different,but really, it's pathetic. They try to gloss over the horrible writing, but it is all in vain. And worst of it all: even the jump scares weren't scary. The overall feel is that some douche gave an even bigger douche a budget with one option: mess it up as bad as you can. Forget about a plot, just throw random stuff together for the sake of it and release the beast.
I give the filmmakers one credit, they really tried to make the movie look nice. The production designer is the only one who deserves some praise. The rest go be ashamed of yourself for wasting my money and my time.
-1/10
