Christian S This movie is a miracle, but not a miracle like the sunrise or even like a car that narrowly avoids hitting you in a crosswalk. This is more like someone spattered a jar of spaghetti sauce all over your living room walls and carpet and in one corner of the room, one part looks a bit like Megatron. There are a few moments of horror done blindingly right. Heck, if you want to watch this movie as a fan of thrillers, stop at the 5 minute mark, because the opening was shockingly fresh and genuinely alarming to watch. But this movie, for its moments that seemed accidentally done well, the context is clumsy and offers nothing to hold onto. Not a truly likeable character, not an interesting setting, and barely a shred of discernable plot. There is a huge push to allow the two main characters to form a begrudging friendship or at the very least respect for each others losses, but that relationship has about the richness of a 3 day old can of La Croix you were sure you'd get back to eventually. Its biggest crime is that the moments that are good are just so damn good. The monster creeping behind a character, a tense moment staring into the trees at night, absolutely done to perfection, only to be immediately brushed off in an attempt to rejoin the story, which in the end the main character's narration even calls out as nonsensical and abjectly pointless without an astronomical leap by the viewer. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Awful writing, pacing, low budget, not scary. If you like hereditary this is not your movie. This is a drama that is neither deep or new. Bad acting, bad story, bad cgi. Just bad. Stay away. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/23 Full Review R Z Sucked. I don't know if it was a parody or just bad. For example they did that trope where a grumpy bad-*ss character softens up and shows a rare moment of vulnerability. But with Don they repeated that "rare" moment like every other scene. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/14/23 Full Review Carol L This movie is a sleeping GIANT. Brilliantly conceived and very well acted. Micro budget gold. Horror? Comedy? ? Repo Man vibe, great pacing (holy cow that monster), so many details I missed the first time. If you enjoyed Paradox Lost, you'll love this. The booby traps in the house are outrageously amusing, a farmers house trying to kill a podcaster- I mean, this film deserves a much higher rating. Watch it, and…hopefully the red light won't go on… and summon Bladey! So good! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/23 Full Review doe boi 9 This one is definitely a niche watch.Its a story of cosmic horror,of the unknown and existence beyond our understanding, yet completely domestic in its presentation.untill it's not.i applaud these independent film makers that planted the seed that was watered by my own imagination.🖤 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review prawnda s the protagonist is not very likeable or interesting, and is pretty generic overall, but he does a good enough job. Don is sometimes very funny, other times just a bore to watch. i don't think we needed so many scenes of him being upset, especially because he says very little that isn't quickly demonstrated in the first few minutes we know him. the likeable cantankerous or embarrassing aspects of his character would shine more if there was a little less emotional depth, or if the movie itself was more serious. this is serviceable and totally watchable especially given that it knows it's a B flick, but i think it lacks substance in many ways. the protagonist's trauma early on in the film isn't really reflected on very much, and he doesn't seem spent or stressed out by the events of the film, which i don't think is entirely realistic. still, he's not bad. i just have a hard time feeling attachment to his character, and the film seems to be more focused on the booby traps than anything else. i did enjoy many parts, but there are a lot of narrative imperfections that keep the film from being everything it could be. the letters and memorabilia from jean in particular are nice enough, but the words used in them weren't particularly poignant or relevant to the story. i don't think this is a film about the protagonists self development, and it's unclear what the general purpose or message the movie is. perhaps if we had a little more natural/human of an interaction with don instead of this unstable comedic relief type of guy, it would make more sense for the film to be so sentimental about him. the movie is good enough, and i might even watch it again for the set design and props, but it's definitely got some problems. if the creator is reading this: keep up the good work, but try to put a little more effort into making the sentimental aspects of the film more meaningful instead of all of this intangible/generic hallmark content, or just don't include as much of it if you don't know of something deeper for the letters to say. it may be a good idea to find some team members to help combine their ideas with yours, because you have a good concept and pretty good execution in terms of the setting and traps. i think this closing scene where the protagonist is being told that his story is so good and people like it so much felt very forced as well, and especially for him to say "it's got a bit of everything" is just too on the nose.
