Out of Darkness (2022)
Another highly praised but rancid film
This can be put in the growing category of horror movies that get some critical acclaim for reasons that cannot possibly be associated with the film itself. Dreadfully acted, cringeworthy story, misleading marketing indicating a horror film, I could go on and on but just don't spend a penny on this. Other movies that could be put in that same bracket would be anything from the Adams family eg. Hellbender or Outwaters is another. It is a major issue when trying to decide what movies to spend your time and money on. Review sites have clear affiliations with studios/producers/directors and sadly they cannot be trusted to provide an honest review anymore.
Hellbender (2021)
Awful
Bizarre sugues into garage band metal music videos and pointless cuts away to dream sequences torpedo anything decent the film had to offer. The entire film was cringeworthy from start to finish. Some outlets giving this 4 and 5/5 really makes me question their motivation. It seems A for effort is being rewarded by top ratings for a very very bad film.
