Review of The Wake

The Wake (I) (2017)
1/10
Terrible! Absolutely Terrible.

Warning: Spoilers
This is a terrible movie.

*spoiler*

The script is bad. It's a slasher turn demonic possession starring lifeless characters that can't put their brains together enough to escape a modern house. For example, her phone isn't charged at the beginning, but not once asked to charge it in the house. Then claims "sexist" when someone calls her out? Really? Then a guy says, there's probably no service here anyways- lazy writing.

Acting is bad. The reactions are unrealistic. Guy gets stabbed and everyone stands around with hands over their mouths. WTF?

The music is bad, the piano almost drowns out the dialog. The other choices are more distracting than actually adds atmosphere.

The end/ reveal/ twist is dumb. You have an Asian Buddhist shrine thing going on in the house, but then goes to a Satanic basement at the end? Could have done the Christian / Catholic thing in the house and it would have worked somewhat for the end. It's confusing.

It's just a bad movie. Sorry, I hate it.
