This is quite possibly the worst film I've watched in all of 2021. Seriously, this movie is just terrible, but I watched it and I was curious as to how it would end, and when I got to the end I decided that it was even worse than I thought it would be, so let me break it down for you in the easiest way I know how.
Direction- Abysmal. Student film level camera angles, poor composition, terrible transitions and a complete lack of talent in how to frame a convincing scene. It's so bad, I just don't understand how this person is allowed to direct a wedding video, let alone a feature film.
Acting- The lowest point of the film, every single person in this movie was terrible. The lead female was a travesty of the greatest magnitude, but every single person in this movie was untalented, struggled to emote properly while others struggled to remember their lines, and the actual death scenes where rife with the most overacted and hilariously bad performances this side of Sharknado. I am embarrassed for these people. It was a disgrace.
Special effects- I just don't know how anyone could have thought that red paint and water/food coloring makes for convincing blood. It doesn't! No SFX used in this movie looked convincing, and the few that were almost passable were still poorly done. It was like a neighborhood haunted house levels of lame.
Cinematography- The absolute worst part of this steaming pile of garbage. The cinematographer has to be the worst one I have seen in a movie in quite a while. It's like this person had no idea what he/she was doing, and it yielded an ugly movie with bad angles, poor framing, and a sore eye of a film. It was literally and figuratively hideous to watch.
Ultimately, I'm just embarrassed for anyone who thought it was a good idea to attach their names to this. It was horrible, and not in a "so bad it's good" type of way. It was truly, utterly abhorrent in every possible way, and you are better off ignoring it exists. I am not exaggerating in any way. This movie is absolute trash.
People, I know you have friends and family that make these movies and you want to support them, I get that. But telling them that stuff like this is good is not doing a service to them or to the people who ultimately have to watch it. Stop lying to these people and let them know that their work just isn't good. Trust me, it's better for them, and it's really good for the audience as we are spared any more of this sophomoric bile.
Oh, I gave it 3 stars for the music. Some of it reminded me of Silent Hill's soundtrack.
