RED R Boring at best. The acting is stiff and unengaging. The script doesn't really help at all. On top of all of this the casting is way off. Nobody fits their part and to top it off the music is annoying. So e if the scenery is ok. Very forgettable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Griffin E Might be the worst horror movie I’ve ever seen. The whole movie was one long boring buildup to nothing. A lot of it focuses on the mental toll that trying to solve the murders has on the police chief, and I thought that might lead to something interesting happening. I was wrong. Don’t waste your time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Alain M oh god, bad CGI, worse make up, and the acting and the story is just beyond awfull, please save yourself of losing 90 min of your time Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member It kept coming up in my recommendations on Tubi so I figured I'd watch it to get it over with. Acting was 80/20. It wasn't too generic for low budget. I could have been okay, but as a writer, the "twist" was not a twist. It was just lazy writing. Not one iota of anything that alludes to the existence of the new character they spring out at the end. There are so many good films by unknowns and newbies that hardly get airtime. But then these DIY self-proclaimed filmmakers somehow get a budget and produce films that are mediocre at best. Instead of making an effort they rush things all for sake of uploading so they can label themselves a filmmaker.. the whole quality over quantity thing just escapes them. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Bianca R It´s very very poorley directed and written. And come on, the jokes are just not funny and yet there are pauses so you can laugh. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/22 Full Review Audience Member I wasn't sure if this was a horror or a comedy, because when the werewolf came it, it looked more like the cowardly lion than anything sinister. The script is sparse and elementary, which doesn't help the flick, either. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
