SO BAD
andie-8795918 March 2023
So bad so so so so bad! I don't think there's any other way to describe this movie than pure crap. The acting was TERRIBLE and the script was written by someone who's never seen a movie before. Just so so so bad. You could guess every line and every fake jump scare it was so predictable. NOT SCARY. JUST STUPID. Awful acting I hated it so much. I don't even get how movies like this get made I mean how can anyone think this is a good movie...? Don't ever watch this movie don't waste your money on it. If any reviews out there say it's great and scary they're lying . Nothing original nothing unique it belongs in the trash can.

Don't Get Too Co-Zy

Warning: Spoilers
What in the world was this? The storyline sounded pretty good and I thought, this should be good. I quickly learned, that was wrong. Where do I begin? I won't do too much.

1. Josie Davis has obviously had so much injections/fillers/silicone, the poison has literally affected her brain cells and made her even more talentless than she was before. I have "enjoyed" some of her other movies, not because she's a great actress but because I can tolerate Lifetime movies. She was much better in those than this. It's like she didn't even try to connect with her character, her cast mates or even the film. Was she was mad at the directors/producers/writers and said I'll show them. I have no idea, but while the overall acting from everyone was terrible, she was horrendous. And let's not discuss the cringy father son scene when son reveals he doesn't want to be on the team. Yikes!

2. Who was the camera person (not man because it could be a woman) a 5 year old? What was with all the close ups. Terrible cinematography and editing in this film.

3. Who green-lit this? Was this supposed to be satire? A joke to the audience?

There's more to point out but it's no point. This entire film was absolutely horrible. I DO NOT recommend this unless you just want to give it a watch or need to pass time, but even then....it's up to you. Take heed and please don't be fooled by any reviews over a 4.

I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!

Well-written, interesting (really picks up after the first 5-minutes) and believable. If you've ever bought a house you'll now have something else to think about.

I don't want to give too much away, but there are a couple good back stories on the characters in here as well. Will make you wonder about desperation and holding on to what you believe.

There are a couple up and comers and two somewhat recognizable faces in the cast. Interesting filming locations as well. Some jump scares and a lot of suspense. In the extreme sense, this is the kind of story that could actually happen. My wife and I enjoyed it!
