Audience Member TERRIBLE with a capital T .. this movie made NO sense it was horribly written. The acting was atrocious. I spent the whole movie not knowing what was going on. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review Joseph S This movie is a beautiful disaster. It barley makes sense. This very well may be the worst written movie I've even had the misfortune of finding (found it on my Roku Smart TV on a Tubi channel). If I was to guess who wrote this I'd go with a group of high school kids who had all semester to write, direct and film it but they left everything to the last few days, wrote WHATEVER and filmed WHATEVER so they had something to pass in at the last minute. Actually, give it a watch, it's impressively bad. Like Tommy Wiseau movie BAD. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Like leftover turkey, this is simply great! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member There are no words to describe this so-called horror movie. I get that they were trying to do something original. However, I had a Trilogy of Horror moment and felt like it ripped that classic film off, Christmas edition. The acting, or lack of, was so over the top at moments that I stopped paying attention. The characters were so bland and unlikable that I was hoping they all die. The kills were hilarious and offscreen so there's that. The clay animation and stop motion was horrendous and should've never been used, at all. I don't know what the director and screenwriter were on because this movie blows. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I've seen some dumb horror movies. I usually love bad horror movies. This movie is pointlesss and in no way enjoyable. It takes a hour to get a plot. 15 minutes to learn any names. Wow Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible movie,one scene its day and next its night.Acting is horrendous and not realistic.Its supposed to be Winter but all the trees are green and the cast are wearing short sleeves.Stay away from this movie.
